I’ve been binge watching every single video for the last month and then my lymphatic massage therapist/ pelvic floor therapist recommended I watch your videos and that you are local in Austin, TX! I then realized I already had been watching your videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to share so so much helpful information ❤

Great info, have been really enjoying and learning a lot from your videos! I would love a deep dive into how the placenta works!

Very good info here, thank you! @ this point it’s not the info I need but I wondered if the uterine lining could be the case of bleeding in pregnancy? I am currently 14 weeks pregnant after 7 long years of IVF! We r elated to be welcoming a baby girl this June! Throughout my pregnancy so far I’ve had random spotting but on Christmas Day I had a HUGE bleed! Like dripping out of me, filling an overnight maxi pad in under 10 minutes!!! I went to emergency and got checked and saw baby was all good on the scan BUT nobody including my OBGYN can tell me why this happen or if it could happen again. I’ve had early MC in the past and I’m told that with the point I’m @ it’s unlikely I was would MC again but it’s extremely stressful nonetheless

With regard to patients who have had uterine adhesions/scar tissue removed, how quickly can it return (if it does). My care team has told me it takes many months, but I’m skeptical based on continued thin lining during medicated cycle ultrasounds. Would love to hear about your experience with these kind of situations.

I know a few people that struggled for years to have a baby so needed IVF, and then went on to have multiple more kids naturally and fairly quickly. Is there a reason why they struggle to have baby no. 1, and then have no issues with the rest?

Thank you for this amazing information! Recurrent pregnancy loss here. We've moved into the realm of reproductive immunology, but our RE thinks it is "voodoo magic." Do high NK cells and cytokines really warrant IVIG/intralipids, plaquenil, metfomin, and prednisone? Does Arvigo Mayan massage help with low femoral artery flow? Can you carry a child if your partner has 2 matching HLA alleles? I'm in my 40's and don't have time to keep going down rabbit holes. Thanks for considering answering these questions.

Do you have any other tips for thickening uterine lining?

@SI-ni7tt 6 ай бұрын

How should small uterus be treated? I am 21 years old and have no menstruation since year and a half, before this my menstruation maybe was fake (without ovulation), what is the safest treatment? The hypoplastic is stage one.

I’ve been told there is a concern about the stickiness of my lining is there any ways I can try to improve that?

After embryotransfer do you recomand to still take melatonin?

@auroojhussain5487 Ай бұрын

Can you take melatonin while pregnant? I took it for six months prior to my IVF cycle. I stopped using it after my fresh embryo transfer. Would love to know the answer

@kaitlintrump7677 7 ай бұрын

My uterine lining last month was 0.66cm at CD16 on ultrasound is that thin ? I’ve been having a period blood flow for 24only on my period then my period completely stops. Can thin lining cause very short period?

Can you talk about hyperplasia and abnormal bleeding caused by it?

Is 5mg of melatonin a night too much? The lowest i have seen available in stores is 3mg i think

@MononokeDreams 3 ай бұрын

My uterine lining at the end of my progesterone taking was 16.7mm, I asked my doctor if it was too much, and he said it was fine, which contradicts the guidelines I see online. Should I be worried?
