I wish AI can create a list of questions Dr. Shahine recommends you ask your doctor 😄 bc these are some great questions. I'm creating my little list.

The timing of this video is amazing! I have my first ER in a few days and have been asked by my doctor to review the choices of ivf, icsi, and split. It's definitely a hard decision but i'm leaning towards split if i have a good number of eggs as thats what my clinic reccommends for first time ER.

[@jellybunni_]

Update got 20 eggs (not sure yet how many mature) and we are doing half IVF and half ICSI with PICSI and IMSI

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for the update ❤ We all wish you the very best on your journey! Thank you for watching ❤

The clinic can provide half icsi and half conventional for the first IVF round for unexplained infertility especially if there is no MFI and the woman have good egg reserve and younger age. Mostly in cases like mine where there was an undiagnosed endo and there could be an issue with implantation, and not necessarily with fertilization

[@jadormycc8819]

Does ICSI increase chances of getting female? I was reading research and more females are made from ICSI than male. All my embryos from ICSI that pass day 5-6 are all females and I have done 3 rounds.

[@nekacannon3951]

Good question! Ima bout to start the process and now I’m curious

[@trickycoolj]

With retrieval rounds limited by insurance we went with ICSI even without MFI since we’re older anyway. Turns out we’re hitting under the statistics and I’m not willing to go through the whole process and risk a no-fert result. As it is, our second and final fully funded round got 0 euploid out of 6 embryos.

I appreciate you for sharing your experience with us ❤

[@ana21324]

Wheres the link to the ASRM guide though? Thanks for the info!

[@vickybenson8451]

I was searching for A No result/ DNA embryos transfer information and couldn't find anything on it. I wonder why? Do you have any information on whether or not to transfer a "No results" No DNA after PGT-A?

[@musigalglo]

Hi I was wondering if you could do a video (or if you already have a video) about anatomical issues with the uterus that could impact implantation. C-section scars? Fibroids I know you've talked about, but are there any others?

[@drlorashahine]

This is a great suggestion I can discuss in a future video, thank you 😊I hope my content on my website drlorashahine.com can help. Thank you for watching ❤

[@user-lj2uj1ex1g]

Hello, thank you! But what about ICSI with severe endo and endometriomas in both ovary. Doctors said that inflammation will affect egg shell and ICSI is recommended, what’s your opinion on that?

[@jadormycc8819]

Are we able to do half eggs with ICSI and half with regular conventional insemination?

[@sk45861]

This should be the protocol for first IVF atleast.. unfortunately many Ivf clinic push for all conventional or ICSI in the US

[@HNTDR2010]

[@ConOp-Experiment.]

Is late implementation a thing????

[@jazzyfizzal9004]

Yes

[@CarolynSilva1989]

Does Dr. Lora have a video talking about it?

[@jazzyfizzal9004]

@@CarolynSilva1989 I believe she does. The video is about implantation.
