Thomas asks…
Why has my gynae asked me to be at the clinic after ovulation?
I am unable to concieve. I’ve visited a gyane last week….he said that i will be ovulating in 2 days and i shud have sex every alternate day to concieve.
he’s asked me to see him after 2 days as the egg is going to pop from the follicle by then. IS THERE ANY MEDICAL PROCEDURE TO HELP THE SPERM FUSE WITH THE EGG AFTER SEX????
I am just curious wat he’s going to do next??? Has anyone been thru the same situation.
PS: I am not under any treatment like IUI or IVF….my doc encourages natural conception.
Michelle answers:
Well she may want to see if you progesterone levels are good enough after Ovulation most docs see u on the 7th day after ovulation and expect levels to be at least 12-15 some higher if not you may not be ovulatin or you are not producing healthy eggs and need clomid good luck this is what happed to me
the only procedure to get egg – sperm together is ivf

Sandy asks…
Does anyone in the world have an answer to this question? I am lost!?
Ok, I will try to make this short. After i had my last daughter, I had the Essure procedure done. For those of you who dont know, it is when they put microscopic coils in your tubes and when they let go the tubes expand, causing the tubes to grow and scar around the coils. The coils go out into the uterus just a bit from what I am told. Now here is what I cannot seem to get an answer to. Do those coils have to be removed before you get pregnant? It is meant to be a permanant sterilization but my hubby and I want more. My original decision to do this was cervical cancer, I had it. It has been gone for 5 years. WHOO HOO! Anyways, I have been told I can do IVF and carry a baby with the coils, then I was told it could be harmful to the baby cause they stick out a little in to the uterus. Cause the coils aren’t hard metal like I thought. Then I was told I should just go to this clinic outof state, get them removed and I could get my tubes reconstructed and get pregnant the natural way. I don’t know what to do or what is right. No one seems to know much about this essure to tell me. By the way, either way I could pay from 8000$ TO 16,000$ so the only difference would be if I could get my insurance company to pay something and the clinic for removal only takes payment before.
Michelle answers:
From what I could find on the net about it, its a permanent form of birth control, which is highly unlikely to be reverseable and should never be used if you want more kids… There hasnt been any real studies on using IVF while having these in place so there really isnt a way to tell if you will be able to carry a baby to term with them in, or if you can carry a baby after removing them because there is always the chance for scar tissue…. Your best bet would probably be to call many OB doctor specialists to interview to see if any have experience in dealing with carrying a baby from this form of birth control and go from there.

Ken asks…
Is my blood sugar too high?
Hi, I’m hoping someone may be able to help.
I had a midwife appointment this morning – my midwife is on holiday so I seen a locum. Anyway, she gave me the blood test results including the test for gestational diabetes (blood sugar). The level was 6.7 which she said was fine but I have since been nosing around on the net and am worried that this may be high. I hadn’t eaten a meal prior to the blood being taken (apart from a Nutrigrain bar on the way to the clinic) so am wondering if this would have counted as a “fasting blood sugar level”. If it is then I am sure that it should have been lower.
Just a little worried as I am also measuring just over 2 weeks bigger than I should. If this was a natural pregnancy then I wouldn’t be too worried as sometimes due dates can be a little out but since we had IVF (or rather Frozen Embryo Transfer) our dates of conception etc are exact.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Ana – had wondered about that but didn’t think that it would have showed in my blood so quickly as I had only eaten it 5-10 mins before the blood was taken. Thanks again for your help!
Michelle answers:
Sounds fine. The Nutrigrain bar would have contributed (it is loaded with sugar too) so it would have contributed to the reading, so you would not have counted as a “fasting blood sugar level”.

Mary asks…
To those who have/had their positive pregnancy test. It is OK to laugh?
I don’t know if this has to do with anything, if anything it is funny
Today I am day +8, after egg transfer of 2 grade 1 embryos. I have my BT on Monday and the nurse at the clinic tells me that the earliest they can detect any HcG is no sooner then day +10, but we all know what the 2 week wait is like 🙂 At the moment I can’t imagine my body is not doing anything natural at the moment due to this IVF cycle and all the meds and all that, anyway to get to the point, other then the AF pains, and the tender (.)(.) from the crinone gel I reckon, my nibbles are so dry and hard and itchy (sorry tmi) more the left then the right, but don’t know if this has anything to do with anything I just wanted to know if others have had something similar, or maybe it is just a laugh and a reaction of all the meds I have had over the last month. Heres hoping it is a positive
Michelle answers:
