Can you talk about why so many injections instead of pills? And why some need more than one cycle

Mines coming up next week and each time I think about it, get nauseous and nervous. Just had my first ever progesterone in oil injection, which I was most preoccupied with and now that I had it which was given perfectly, now back to transfer day thoughts. Thank you for this info!

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us ❤️

Pray for me it’s my baseline text in 10 days or less lord help Me

[@brandigroom7991]

Hi I had a embryo transfer on the 29th of last month and I woke up to use the bathroom and it was a toilet full of blood and I saw some clots does this mean I’m losing the pregnancy

[@sherylvlogger6359]

Hi doc , great video! My doctor asked me to put suppository the day before of my embryo transfer. . I am thinking it would not be sticky? 😅

[@aswenesa8530]

hi mam actually after embryo transfer I'm resting for 20 mins only after that i pee..so is there any problem for embryo ..pls reply mam

[@derrythgaviria1470]

You supposed to get a photo of the embryo? I didn’t get one 😔 only when the embryo was in there

[@avivaloeb]

Would you be able to see the fluid the embryo starts in go into the uterus. I'm stressing because all of a sudden there was solid black in my uterus when the catheter went in.

[@987apple77]

I prayed for my reproductive organs two years ago. My period came back at 57. My former doctor said that was meneapause. She had me to get an ablation. Can IVF work for 59 year olds. How can you help me? Do donor eggs work for 59 year olds. The celebrities do IVF also. Doctor how can you help me.

[@user-xc2hv8yx3u]

does the embryologist ever drop the embryo on the way into the surgical room? i’m so paranoid 😅

[@majecusi7278]

❤

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you for watching!

[@neshachristian-hendrickson5598]

What supplements should I stop taking after egg retrieval? Which should I take before transfer and which should I take after transfer?

[@drlorashahine]

This is a great question. I would advise you to consult your medical provider, as I can't give medical advice to personal situations on social media. I have a lot of content on the subject on this channel, website drlorashahine.com, KZbin and Instagram account @drlorashahine that are great sources for you

[@7thwardYATTA]

My embryo transfer is next month. Today I found out that I have 4 male embryos which were my genetic testing results. I’m curious to know what would give hope to ever have twins via IVF process? And last question is why can only 1 male embryo be transferred?

[@rikkimaroney8072]

Curious given the full bladder thing... Does anyone ever pee on the table while you're doing the transfer? I feel like this is the prelim version of the fear you'll poop in labour.

[@drlorashahine]

No! A full bladder is helpful for the transfer but not to the point of being uncomfortable or peeing on the table :)

[@987apple77]

Hi can you help me. I am 59? Will IVF work for me.

[@maduaberathna943]

Is ivf process so much painfuly

[@quratulainakram5914]

What about amphorous sperms ...the sperms can fertilize the egg or not ...if there is only 1% normal sperms and the rest are amphorous ...what's you suggest

[@gitaardianti3724]

Do intracitoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

[@JP-pn4yv]

Dr Lora. I’ve been following you for awhile. I am in the process of IVF and my stims shots starting in 3 weeks. however i was just diagnosing with gastroparesis. Do you have any patients who’s going through the same thing before starting the process? What are your thought about GI issues will have any negative effects to the process as well. My GI doctor saying it shouldn’t and I’m still waiting for my ivf doctor to review everything. I appreciate any thoughts and suggestions from you because I really think you are incredibly informative ❤ thank you!!

[@amandabrown5096]

hi I have just started too, may I ask how you are getting on?

[@Anna-pv3bc]

@@amandabrown5096hello, I stopped taking any meds before I started the process during my stims I tried not to think about it so my symptoms surprisingly almost gone so I’d say not stressing did a big part for me. My ivf turned out got 4 embryos with no PGT testing and transferred one of my 4AA. I got pregnant but at almost 5 weeks my hcg level went down and my doctor ruled it as chemical pregnancy 😢. My next transfer is in January.

[@Anna-pv3bc]

@@amandabrown5096sorry I used a different account to replied.

[@darrlynnknott7317]

Could you do more videos on donor eggs and how that process goes if you don't have any eggs to retrieve

[@drlorashahine]

This is a great suggestion for a future video! Thank you for watching!

[@YougrowgirlUK]

My catheter got stuck and the doctor went through several of them. It took so long that eventually I was asked to empty my bladder. It took about 45mins. I thought they were going to give up. I think my uterus is tilted and the full bladder meant the catheter couldn’t pass smoothly

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you for sharing you experience with us 🫂❤️

[@YougrowgirlUK]

@@drlorashahine at least I know now! Maybe I won’t fill my bladder so full next time ❤️

[@deannab8890]

Has anyone ever tripped and dropped the embryo? Is there insurance if that does happen?

[@Luckyforus686]

Glad I’m not the only one who has that fear!

[@amanij7833]

I have severe anxiety and trauma. Can I have local anesthesia for embryo transfer?

[@drlorashahine]

Discuss with your doctor❤️❤️❤️

[@mika6137]

Is it okay to work the day after transfer ? Working as a nurse at the ER which can be a lot

[@drlorashahine]

Many people work after transfer but wonderful if you can take a day or two for self care - not proven to help but nice for some downtime❤️

[@mika6137]

@@drlorashahine thank you for your answer. I will take the day of the transfer off in any case because it will be such a special day ❤

[@alexandrachampagnetaylor4453]

i work in the med /surg, that involves heavy lifting, and very busy, I sometimes worry about that, how did it work out for you?

[@gladcglad2694]

Can I eat while going ma

[@asemotahappiness5883]

First time watching your beautiful video, please where do you live?

[@drlorashahine]

I cannot disclose such information. Thank you for watching.

[@mkh4908]

Dr. lora, if the endometer lining doesn't increase even by using 9 dosages of estrogen and vaginal cream, what should we do?

[@drlorashahine]

Talk to your doctor but I often recommend stopping, having a bleed, then trying again. There are times where a uterine lining is not perfect and next try will be better❤️

[@mkh4908]

@drlorashahine thank you very much dear doctor ❤️

[@elzzieesther]

Is it normal to feel very tired 2 days after embryo transfer? Sometimes I have surges of energy but most of the day I want to be lazy. I do walk around and go outside and eat healthy though. I had my FET on Thursday.

[@drlorashahine]

There are many reasons to feel tired - don’t underestimate the emotions and the mental roller coaster of getting to and completing the embryo transfer. Waiting for that pregnancy test is tough!! See my video on ’Surviving the Two Week Wait’ for tips and support! Best wishes!

[@olliesbullies]

Hi Dr Lora, I hear about adding “glue” to the embryo to stick in place, can you please clarify? Thank you

[@drlorashahine]

Embryo glue is a name for a media that can be used for embryo transfer. It’s not really glue (just a catchy brand name)

[@olliesbullies]

@@drlorashahine thank you for your response ❤️

You are so nice warm and empathetic very pleasant
