In this episode, I’m talking about preparing for embryo transfer. I find that it’s helpful to think about embryo transfer the same way you might think about having a very special guest over for dinner.
What are you going to do if you have a very special person over? You’re going to make sure everything is absolutely perfect. When it comes to preparing for an embryo transfer, you want to take the same approach. Your metaphorical home in the house analogy is your uterus.
The devastation of doing more tests and finding out that something might be wrong that you have to fix is kind of a pain, but the devastation of going through a transfer that doesn’t work is also pretty darn awful. Because I work so hard to help families, if I can do anything to prevent someone from not experiencing the devastation of a negative embryo transfer, I’m going to do everything possible to clean up that house and make sure it’s perfect.
What I recommend is that people do 3 tests before embryo transfer to make sure your uterus is absolutely perfect prior to your embryo transfer. They are:
Hysteroscopy
Saline Infusion Sonogram
Hysterosalpingogram
Dr. Aimee shares all of her insights about how you can prepare for your Embryo Transfer.
She'll answer your questions:
What’s my embryo quality?
What are my chances for pregnancy?
What am I going to do if it doesn’t work?

This was our last chance to give our 7yo son a little brother or sister. Furthermore it’s been a long long road with 4 rounds of ivf, multiple failures. and then more recently a missed miscarriage. On the plus side - we're using donor egg now. My hcg has been strong and rising well. I had a recent test 5 days ago due to some spotting so I know the indicators are there. But I truly can’t shake the feeling that it’s all going to be ripped away from me on official beta. I’ve had three spots which caused me to panic! Tell me I’m not the only one who feels crazy like this. This path is difficult and emotional. God's blessing to everyone in this boat.

You are the most detailed and open minded Dr that I have seen. I wish I could do my treatment with you if geographially allowed :( My first ivf with 3 embryos transfers failed, even with acupuncture treatment. I will start my next ivf in another new centre after the covid lockdown is over, so literally back to square one. My menses kind of messed up after latest transfer in Feb. My previous ivf Dr asked me to take 3 rounds of 30-day contraceptive pills to adjust it back. I am almost the end of 2nd cycle of contraceptive pills. Based on my observation on previous cycle, my period flow was lesser than usual. I also read that some ppl encountered lesser egg count after treatment with contraceptive pills. I wonder if I should start 3rd cycle contraceptive pills? I couldn't visit any fertility Dr during this period due to lock down. Appreciate your advice

@EggWhisperer 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for such a sweet comment. My heart breaks for everyone trying to conceive always but especially at this time. The pill will lessen period flow. Depending on your egg count, it could also suppress eggs and make your egg # lower after you start stim. You may also require more days of stim because of the pill. If you were my patient and I couldn't start cycles, I would suggest either taking 1 month off of the pill OR staying on it one more month. I'd make the decision based on when I can start cycles again.

Great tips before the embryo transfer procedure! In addition, here are some more tips on what to do before your transfer day: - Get your folic acid - Stay hydrated - Try warming your lower abdomen before your transfer - Avoid strenuous activities - Try acupuncture Here is what to do and what to avoid after your transfer: - Avoid strenuous physical activity (such as aerobics, running, jogging, cycling on hills). Instead, do light-to-moderate activities, such as walking and cooking. - Eat as if you’re already pregnant. - It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse post-transfer as it can cause uterine contractions. - Follow the instructions of your doctor regarding the type and dosage of the medication to use in the first two weeks. - Avoid tub baths, swimming pools or beaches to protect yourself from infections. - Drink plenty of fluids to help regulate cell hydration (including endometrial cells). - Explore relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation or Tai Chi. - Take progesterone to prepare your uterine lining for pregnancy. - Avoid taking a pregnancy test at home as you may get a false-negative or false-positive in the first two weeks. Before the embryo transfer, consider having the following procedures during your IVF treatment: - Assisted hatching to facilitate the implantation of the embryo(s). - Embryo screening like Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities and reduce the risk of miscarriage.

Question: Is there a difference on the effectiveness of shots or suppositories for progestrone? My friend did shots and she swears by the shots, rather than suppositories b/c she says they're more effective. Any thoughts? great videos by the way! and lots of funny moments too.

@EggWhisperer 4 жыл бұрын

I tell my patients: if you skip one pregnancy is done. Meaning the suppositories have to be very well timed and if you forget one, then the shots are definitely better. I monitor and track progesterone levels very closely for my patients. When taking suppositories, I'll check and check again :) then again. And titrate the dose so the progesterone level is in my preferred range. So sometimes, I have patients taking endometrin for example 4x per day: 8 , 12 4 and 8pm with a prometrium oral capsule. There are some people that just can't tolerate the injection so of course I wouldn't have them do the injection. For the most part, I recommend the shot only because people forget a suppository here and there. And that could cause a pregnancy to stop growing. There is zero build up of the suppository in our system. Unlike the progesterone injection, after a certain number of hours, your progesterone level will drop if you forget to insert another one. I know, long answer for a short question, and I hope my answer helps.

@catinabox3048 Жыл бұрын

@@kdmonte Hey! Hope the transfer went well! Most doctors WILL prescribe shots for fully medicated transfers. It's also the fully medicated transfers, where they suppress ovulation and use meds to replace its effects, that the progesterone is super crucial. With natural and modified natural transfers where you actually ovulate, it's completely possible to go without any progesterone at all because your corpum luteum that you ovulated from should be producing that for you. If you're not producing enough or if your provider wants to be extra safe, you might be given suppositories to help. However, because your body IS making its own progesterone, it shouldn't be a huge deal if you didn't take them on time. Even with fresh transfers, your body should be producing some of its own progesterone. If you're being prescribed suppositories only, I feel like chances are you either did a natural/modified natural transfer or a fresh transfer. Doctors generally know better than to use suppositories only for a medicated transfer. If that's not the case and yours was a medicated transfer using only suppositories for your progesterone, I'd honestly question that doctor and clinic for their competence.

My doctor for some reason changed my transfer protocol and only did 96 hours of progesterone and he dropped my PIO from 2ml to 1.5ml.

I am so so sorry. My thoughts: 1. If you're still pregnant, request genetic testing of the pregnancy 2. Do an AMH if not done already in case this is related to low egg count/quality 3. Check the shape + anatomy of the uterus 4. make sure you're taking a good prenatal with fish oil+ vitamin D 5. Chromosome analysis for you and your husband is a test I do for my patients 6. Check for thyroid issues/diabetes and treat if they're problem 7. Eat healthy and maintain a healthy BMI and I wish you all the best and the likelihood that your next pregnancy is healthy is very high! But it is always helpful to ask your doctor: why do they think you had a miscarriage and if there's anything they think they can do to help.

On those two lazy days recommended after the transfer you mentioned relax at the beach and my questions is what about the heat ? Can the hot weather and humidity affects the process. I live in the hottest state of this world 🥵 SOUTH FLORIDA! 🥴 and the sun and heat is my concern before and after transfer. 3. Drink Decaf coffee during IVF treatment and during pregnancy is acceptable and recommended or not? I am under IVF treatment Egg retrieval is next week and I’ve been having 1 cup of decaf coffee daily to start my day only one. Is that ok ? Please kindly advise!

I tell my athletic patients to continue to be athletic until your transfer. Then after the transfer, I tell my patients that low impact and low intensity exercise is fine until I see the heartbeat then after that appointment, we talk about increasing intensity if desired. Saying relax at the beach is an analogy :) I want you to lounge around. That's all. Not to literally go to the beach. Coffee isn't harmful for your fertility or pregnancy however it is something that can cause insomnia in pregnancy so that could be one great reason to switch to decaf. Decaf coffee is fine too. Hope your cycle is successful for you.

When do you recommend accupuncture before and after transfer please ?

@EggWhisperer 4 жыл бұрын

Prerna Singh There are different protocols. One is for a session right before and after the transfer. And another protocol is day before and then a day or two after. I don’t think one is right or wrong but find an acupuncturist that feels like the right fit and go from there. Ask your doctor for referrals because they typically know of the best fertility acupuncturists

Imagine a little chick hatching out it's shell. The top half of the shell is already off and the chick is visible from it's tummy up! That's the equivalent of a "5" of the 5AA :) and the first A = great inner cell mass (which is the part that becomes the baby" and the second A = the cells that become the placenta.

@EggWhisperer 4 жыл бұрын

hi Leo. Repeat your prolactin fasting after two weeks from the first, make sure it's first thing in the morning and don't touch your nipples/breasts until your next blood draw. If the prolactin is still high, then consider evaluation and treatment. I call PCOS = HOPE syndrome. H = hair O = ovulation P = period E= eating+exercise. Women who have PCOS have to very carefully managed during their IVF and you can have a great IVF cycle with the right approach.

Not sure how old you are or how many kids you have already but if you were my patient I would consider doing another ivf cycle now to bank and save more embryos. If doing implantation testing is an option: like the era test, receptivadx tests, I would do them. Make sure you’ve done uterine cavity check recently enough and ask your doc if they have ruled out adenomyosis and endometriosis.

Hi Dr.., when I had my 1st embryo transfer, since I am very sensitive to pain or discomfort, my fertility doctor recommended me that they will do this procedure using General Anaesthesia just in case if I am not able to bear through. Finally, She did the embryo transfer without general anaesthesia though I had lot of pain which I beared. The result went finally to biochemical pregnancy. Now I have a 2nd embryo transfer planned soon again with general anaesthesia, but wanted to check if with anaesthesia is it still okay to proceed? Do you have cases where you have to do Embryo Transfer with the help of general anaesthesia? Is there any problem doing so.?

@EggWhisperer 5 жыл бұрын

my concern with diabetes = increased risk for pre-eclampsia associated with it. And twins automatically comes with an increased risk of pre-eclampsia. You would have two very high risk factors for pre-eclampsia. And the reason why pre-eclampsia is so dangerous (Aside from maternal risk) is the risk associated with premature babies. I want everyone I meet to have one healthy baby. But when you're transferring two into the uterus of someone with diabetes, you're putting that person at an unacceptable risk of fetal and maternal complications.

Hi 😊 I had my egg retrieval and have 3 genetically normal embryos. I did the ERA test on 4/9, results came back pre-receptive, so starting my progesterone on 5/1 and transfer 5/7. My question is should I be concerned that my last period ended two days early, which hasn't happened before to me. Then today 4/29, I spotted. These are both different for me. Could this be because of the meds? I'm currently just doing estradiol shots. Should I be concerned? I really appreciate your insight. Thank you 🥰

@EggWhisperer 4 жыл бұрын

I am so happy to hear that you have 3 embryos. This is so great. As far as spotting while on the estrogen injection it could be: 1. early in your cycle and still part of your period (doesn't sound like it) 2. Maybe an ovarian cyst (unlikely because you did the ERA this past cycle and didn't ovulate and probably had a lining check) 3. Uterine polyp or cervical polyp. 4. From sex . If you haven't had a saline sonogram, it may be a good time to do it. If you were my patient I would have you come back in for another lining check and speculum exam to see what's going on then we would decide whether to continue with the transfer or not. Sending you positive fertility vibes!
