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 july month 2018 i start my ivf treatment..so happy..after 5 month my embryo at frozen..this is my 1st ivf..so nerveous also..very usefull details about ivf..plz give me many tips for suscess my ivf...tq
I lost the ability to have kids naturally at the age of 15 cause some freak accident, long story, but coming back at 18 and gaining back hope that i can still be this woman ive always wanted to be, not all my options are gone and its been hard feeling the same as any girl my age, alot can just pop out babies on accident so youre videos have made it apparent that i am as normal as anyone that could be here or existing, i think i love you
Day The Baby ahhhh I’m so glad my videos have been able to help you!! 😍😍
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.
rachel damasco thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!!
Dr.Aimme is my favorite Dr! She’s so much fun

Content that can actually help us. I hope all those who are trying are able to. Best of luck. Sending baby dust to all trying.
Thank you!! ❤️💕
I agree with acupuncture.... just started that and I feel a whole lot better
Thank you so so much for this video! I wish my doctor was as fun and nice as you! We have what we decided to call "Harvest day" in two days and we want prolonged cultivation, so then Wednesday we would transfer our hopefully future baba, for now our little baby bean :) I am hoping it sticks and we have a heathy baby bouncing around my tummy (not really!!) soon:)
Having my transfer this Friday 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sidika Nowak sending you virtual hugs and positive vibes!!
Thanks for sharing this video!
Hi Dr. Aimee! This is a FANTASTIC video! I am not a new patient to IVF, however, I learned a lot from this! I am curious, what is your treatment for BCL6? Thank you for all that you do!
Yes ! I would love to hear about BCL6.Can BCl6 goes off after loosing weight? I have read somewhere not only because of endometriosis but blocked tube also makes this test positive.
Thank you SOOOOOO much for launching this video! You really helped me!
Thank you for such a sweet comment!
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
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.
@@EggWhisperer thanks so much for your prompt response. I will check with the new centre about the possible time.
Take good care and stay safe!
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.
euroCARE IVF Center CYPRUS yessss!!!!
My progesterone shots don’t hurt at all 🤷🏻♀️ good luck everyone!
Please talk about thin lining 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would talk to your doc about; 1. different protocols 2. rule out scar tissue 3. add l-arginine and vitamin E 3. natural cycle transfer
Can I just tell you how much I love your videos? Thank you 😊
Glad you like them!
How is the implantation rate for women with endometriosis (and having healthy, tested embryos)?
It can be lower this is why I recommend talking to your doc about treating endo + adenomyosis prior to transfer if needed. Ask your doc if they think you need to.
I just LOVE this woman!
Hi Dr. Aimee. For a retroverted uterus, is a full bladder required? Any challenges with this type of anatomy?
One more question: is there a bromelain capsule brand that you recommend? Thank you ☺️
For a retroverted uterus, I recommend a bladder that isn't full. I would just have someone not empty prior to IUI if you have a retroverted uterus. I don't have a bromelain brand I recommend. thank you for your great questions!
I’m on egg stimulation Now is frozen embryo r fresh embryo which has high chances of implantation
Ask your doc based on your history which is better for you. Fresh is usually just as good as frozen however there are situations where frozen IS better. Your doc will know if frozen is better for you.
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.
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.
@@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.
You are truly hilarious! love it!
These 10 days of waiting are so awful. I don't know what to think all the time 😕
Hi doctor... thanks A lot for your videos. We are getting ready for our second transfer. This one is going to be a frozen one, the first one was a fresh, and it failed, I would like to have the link for the prenatal vitamins that you prefer. I searched on Amazon and I couldn't find it ❤❤ thanks again
I had hysteroscopy in July after that I had egg retrieval process and now planning for embryo transfer, do I need to go for another hysteroscopy before transfer?
If your doc thinks you may have a polyp or if you have symptoms of that, yes! I would do that otherwise no need but ask your doc too!
Hello. Thank you for the information. Where is your clinic? I would like to make an appointment to speak to you.
Draimee.org for details
Hello Dr. Aimee..All your videos are wonderful and informative. I had 2 Embryo transfer failures and planning a third one, what different protocol should I follow for success,
Should I go for Endometrium scraping or ERA test or anything else, Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
God Bless you.
My most recent FET failed. My era showed I was receptive with 192 hours of progesterone. 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. My embryo was thawed 24 hours prior to transfer too and it was a fully hatched day 5. I’m so confused and would love some insight.
I am sorry this happened to you :( Here's what i would do if it were me: 1. get your official reports
2. make sure all the info was entered correctly on the ERA worksheet submitted to Igenomix. 3. Review the information and then plug everything in here: clinics.myigenomix.com/pet/calculator
3. get it all together and make a post-FET consult to talk to your doc so you can have clarity, closure and a plan forward.
-You have the best IVF channel in all of TH-camland, Dr Aimee
-I suffered a first trimester loss after my first round of IVF. My doctor checked the natural killer levels and said mine her high. My doctor said IIV intralipid helps with that (I’m not sure how, to be honest), but I didn’t go forward with it because I was scared. Any thoughts
On that Dr Aimee. I’m just so scared, sad, and intimidated.
Dr. Aimee, can Yasmin work in place of Apri prior to a frozen embryo transfer if one is having bad side effects to Apri?
yes ! that should be an option too
Such a beautiful video 😊😊😘
Love this video. I had surgery to remove polyps in January. I'm due for my transfer soon and requested a hysteroscopy but my doctor said it wasnt necessary since surgery went well. Would you recommend I still do a hysteroscopy? Would love a response soon as my transfer is due in August. Thank you!
It's always a good idea to check again and see if your gut is telling you to do so. A saline sonogram is an easy enough test to do.
My doctor told me he does not recommend acupuncture. What are the reasons it would not recommend it for a patient?
I am going on a trip a few weeks before transfer. I haven’t drank in 4months. Is it ok to have a drink or 2 during my trip?
Hiii can you talk about vaginismus patient who going through ivf procedure
Is it okay to take just 5 mg of diazepam vs. 10 mg when the patient is under 100 lbs on the day of transfer?
Yes! I dose based on body size too. If heavier then 10 mg, if lighter then 5 mg.
@@EggWhisperer Thank you!
How long before your FET should you start acupuncture treatment
Jaspreet Kaur I tell my patients to do it if it helps them de stress. They also do it on the day of their transfer.
Do you have any video or info to compare Fresh Embryo Transfer vs Frozen Embryo Transfer ?
Yes! Thank you for this. I did bring this up on some of my upcoming shows that haven’t aired yet. I will see about doing one specifically about this. I have written a show called “your ivf options” that I haven’t done yet but I will! Thank you for asking and pushing me to do it
Hello Dr. Aimee, curious question for you - Who decides what sex of the embryo is transferred? Is is random, based on quality, or selected by the patient? Of course assuming genetic testing is performed. Thanks!
In most clinics, patients are given their official reports and then they choose!
Gracias, thank you, abrigado, merci!
Hi mam.... am from india.... mam in ivf my fetus heartbeat stop at 10 th week what I supposed to do now..... does it affect my second time ivf.... please reply am very nervous
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.
Thankful for your videos 🤗
Glad you like them!
Unfortunately my 1st embryo transfer was failed in this month.i m 29.now I have 5 embryos (pgs tested). How to clean my uterus naturally?
debika jana I’m really sorry. I know how hard you worked to get to transfer. I’m happy to hear your have 5 still frozen! Best thing to do if you haven’t is make sure you have done a saline sonogram to rule out polyps, consider a mock cycle and do the ERA test if your doc offers it. Talk to your doc about what you can do to improve chances. And keep in touch! Sending positive thoughts your way!
My 2nd transfer was successfull,but 1 wk after pregnancy conform,I had miscarriage..even my 1st transfer was chemical pregnancy..before 2nd transfer I have hysteroscopy ..now doctor suggest me some antibiotics for now me and my husband both..& before my 3rd transfer some steroid..doctor told that it some thing could be uterus prblm.. what should I do?

Im planning to do my FET this year. How soon should i start acupuncture ? how many times should you recommend it for me to do it? And my doctor told me to talk folic acid and vitamin D but didnt told me about the other APA and DHA vitamins. Is it ok to take them all at the same time?
The prenatal vitamin she recommended is $80 with no reviews. Anyone have another suggestion?
Hi . It was an informative video. I recently had my egg collection and got 8 eggs. Where only 2 were of good quality. Those 2 embryos (Grade 2) has been frozen now. Now what shall I do improve my chances after ET ?
Can I start exercising from today untill embryo transfer?
How old are you? And were they frozen as day 3 embryos or day 5?
@@EggWhisperer I'm 27 years old. Those 2 frozen eggs are day 3 embryos
Swathi N having young eggs is good.
Swathi N if you were a patient of mine I would tell you low impact low intensity exercise is safe. If you were at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation then I would say not to
@@EggWhisperer thanks for the info. No I don't have hyper stimulation. I have few queries doctor please answer
1. Is grade 2 (day 3 ) good to be a blastocyst?
2.Within how many days day 3 embryo will implant after embryo transfer
3. I'm really scared what if those 2 embryos doesn't grow inside to a blastocyst after transfer. Give me some positive hope :(
Can you share the brand of the Prenatal? It’s not clear in the picture.
Not sure where you live: theralogix.com/products/theranatal-complete-prenatal-vitamin is a great one. use prc code TUSHY for the prc price too!
Hi Dr Aimee, how may prep my uterus for transfer? Had egg retrial and 1 embryo made it to freeze. What should I ask my doctor at this point. All you suggested...i do some... I will watch my weight and will look into acupuncture.
Hoping you were successful. Eating healthy, exercising and taking prenatal is the best thing you can do. And ask your doc this very thing. Make sure you’ve taken a careful close look at the cavity first.
Hi Dr. Aimee! I am currently in the process of going through prep for a FET. I’m 33 and ovulate rather regularly. (Doing IVF for MFI). Going to be doing a long lupron protocol? What are your thoughts regarding outcomes for that protocol vs no long lupron? Looking forward to your reply! Thank you!!
Long lupron protocols are great. Issue though with young people is that you can't use lupron as a trigger shot if you experience symptoms of OHSS. HCG is the only option as a trigger shot. I hope your cycle is successful! Sending love on your IVF journey!
I just did my embryo transfer today. Can you explain what is 5 AA embryo I google information but will like if you explain better to me. Please and thank you
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.
Egg Whisperer Show o interesting you explained so well thank you. I read the chances of a 5 AA is 60 % thanks for replying back to me .
M Rivera chances are higher if it’s known to have normal chromosomes. If you were my patient and it was a day 5 blast I would say 85%
@@EggWhisperer this make me so happy and hopeful . Thank you for the replys .💗🙏
What about 3ab blastocyst..my fet in this month..
Dear Dr, I am wondering how many days should have progesterone before FET, my clinic has standard protocol is 6days, like start from day19 to day20 and transfer at day21. I am not sure why is 6day. I heard other clinic has 5days. I am kind of warriors.
Mengyun Nie you can start day 15 and transfer day 20 or start day 15 and transfer day 21. I start progesterone once the lining is above 8 mm and my goal is 9 or above
Mam recently picsi method was done for my wife. 9 eggs collected and 3 degenerated 6 unfertilised. Don't know why. Please help me
I did nothing and guess what ? It didnt work my first fet back on February/2020
is a full bladder required for fet? my doctor says I don't need it and that my sonohystereogram was my mock cycle.
Hi Dr, after Embryo transfer how many hrs after should you space the suppositories. Is 6 hourly or 8hrly. Thank u
Hi Dr Aimee
I am 50 will be preparing for an embryo transfer, I noticed estrace 2mgx2 a day my body will not aborsbe to thicken my lining...should I try delestrogen what is your take on this? Thank you
Can you post the link for the prenatal vitamin? Thank you!
I found The Egg Whisper from 90.7. I am looking to be connected with someone who knows and understands the legality around donating eggs. (Not fertilized). I have 17 and would like to donate them to someone I know. As I understand it, it will cost several thousand dollars for someone else to use my eggs. Best option is to discard them? I would really like to speak with someone in this space that knows and understands the legality. I've received a lot of mixed messages.
Hello, thank you for the information.
Does PCOS affect IVF?!
Thank you soo much dr aimee
Question: please if one with pcos has a prolactin level of 30.96, a high AMH ABOVE 50 does that affect the chance for a successful ivf?
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.
Thank you soo much Dr
Great video Dr. Aimee! I had trouble seeing the pic of the recommended prenatal pills. What brand is it?

Dr. Three questions:
1. I am a slow pace runner 🏃🏻♀️ and running release my stress tremendously. Do you recommend go to back to run after the egg retrieval in those weeks or days before the Embryo transfer? And after the transfer when can I run back again ?
2. 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.
Hi.My age is 31. I have 6 frozen embryo.grade (3ab and 2ab).is there possiblity to became success.Thank you
i`m o positive and my husband is A positive does that affect our odds?
Anastacia Tyman your blood type shouldn’t affect your chances of pregnancy
This is my 2 round of ivf first didn't go so well I had an ectopic on the first round this time im doing an frozen embryo transfer can you please tell how long does it take till transfer like after how long after my cycle
I'm sorry you had that experience. Typically, I transfer about 3 weeks after period start. You can use hormones to transfer even later. I have patients take 2 weeks of estrogen and then one week of estrogen + progesterone (3 week cycle of meds). I'll be on instagram live doing a q+a Thursday july 30th 4PM PST: instagram.com/eggwhisperer/ and Friday at 5PM PST. Hope you'll join.
Thank you for your reply my doctor told me to come on my second cycle on the second day to see my endometrial lining so your saying I have to take 3 weeks of injections 😟 I had my egg retrieval 2 weeks ago had , a week ago had my first cycle and my second cycle we be on august 17 and btw I've been following you on Instagram for a while now
I have question, can I travel (relaxing country) few days after transfer?
Before transfer does doctor check progesterone level? My doctor didn’t check is it normal ?
When do you recommend accupuncture before and after transfer please ?
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
Hi Mam.. Good Day! I am planning for my embryo transfer in next 3 months. Currently I am 72 kg with BMI 31.9. What do you suggest me for a successful embryo transfer?I must mention I had 2 failed ET earlier in 2019. I will hopefully have 2 embryos transferred and their grades are: 2AB and 4AC. Please suggest me tips for a successful implantation this time.
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.
Mam I am 32 years old. I have done laparoscopy and hysteroscopy and have another 2 embryos saved for 2nd transfer if the frst one doesn’t come out successful. I haven’t done ERA testing yet.
Hello Dr. Aimee,
I just watched your vlog today and I had so much hope. But the sad thing is my first embryo transplant not successful, and I have a schedule for another transplant this coming November, is traveling about 1 to 2 hours affect the embryo? Please tell me if it could harm. Thank you
gretchen vidal I am wishing you the best for this next transfer!!! I’m sorry this last one wasn’t successful. As far as travel if you feel like it could then don’t travel. Perhaps stay longer at the clinic and do acupuncture before you leave if they have that as an option. The reality though is that it doesn’t matter. You can feel really confident that you can go home and even if it’s a long drive know that it won’t hurt a thing
@@EggWhisperer I'm so glad to read your reply about my message. And thank you Doc. Aimee for the advice, and about acupuncture I would totally do it, I will ask my friend so is working in traditional clinic here in South Korea. God bless your show, it really help a lot. ♡♡♡
@@gretchenvidal9232 you're so welcome
Hi I have done egg retrieval they said must stay till I get my menses so I want to know how many days will it take to embryo transfer please reply thank you 😊
I'm going to try my IVF the second time around the first time I had an ectopic pregnancy my question is is it true that it unsafe to bending over for any reasons like pick up something or doing house chores what can do or not and when is it safe to clean or cook any detail will help!!
I just ask patients to avoid heavy lifting, high impact and high intensity exercises after the transfer. Daily activities like usual chores and benign are safe. I'm sorry to hear about your ectopic. I'm sure your docs have done this but consider a HSG before you transfer and if you have a hydrosalpinx, make sure the tube is removed before your next transfer.
@@EggWhisperer thank you
Hi Dr would you say Pilates is ok if not doing yoga, thanks in advance.
cupcakes Thompson I do think Pilates is a great form of exercise but when your ovaries are swollen from Stim meds I recommend listening to your body. If you feel too swollen to do Pilates then skip it.

Thanks Dr, im using donor egg, I just wanna try keep active.
Exercising 4 hours a week and finding things that bring you joy are super important !
Hello, I wondered if it's ok to take the prenatal 2 or 3 months before the transfer? Or is it not necessary. Have a nice day.
It’s a great idea to start before ! I highly recommend it
@@EggWhisperer Thank you very much for your answer ! I will start my IFV journey in June so for the prep I will take the prenatal. Have a nice day 😊
What's an embyro
What is the prenatal you recommend. I cant see the name clearly.

How many days after ovulation should a frozen embryo be transferred in a natural cycle ???
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 🥰
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!
@@EggWhisperer thank you so much! I feel like have better questions to ask my doctor. I have an appointment on 5/1 in the morning for a lining check. I will ask about a saline sonogram. Is that similar to what they do with the mock transfer? The day of my ERA he did something similar along with the biopsy. Appreciate you!
@@WinberryHome Yes! That's what I do too :) I love your doc already! Reach out and see what they say again. Sending you positive thoughts.
@@EggWhisperer thanks again! I am glad my doc is doing the procedures you would do. That makes me feel better, because I love how thorough you are. Maybe he is just not explaining much and I really like to try and understand the root causes. If I lived closer, I would totally choose you to be my doctor. Hopefully, I can share soon about a successful transfer. I would hate to lose any of our precious embabies. Thanks for taking your time to answer.

What tests u recommended one ERA what's second one
The second one is receptivadx.com
My doctor actually prefers an empty bladder at transfer, so 🤷♀🤷♀
Hi dr Aimee, I’m 41 yrs old. Trying to conceive for 1yr. I been taking prenatal pill since October last year. My last period was feb 24. I’m wondering why period stopped suddenly. Eversince I have no problem with my period very normal. My estradiol is 11 and fsh is 50.4. What is that mean? Do u have any advice what should I do? Do u think I still get pregnant because of FSH? Thank u
My 2nd transfer was successfull,but 1 wk after pregnancy conform,I had miscarriage..even my 1st transfer was chemical pregnancy..before 2nd transfer I have hysteroscopy ..now doctor suggest me some antibiotics for now me and my husband both..& before my 3rd transfer some steroid..doctor told that it some thing could be uterus prblm.. what should I do? Plz help me..
debika jana my heart goes out to you
I'm not sure if you have access to the Receptivadx.com test. If you don't, I would recommend you: get an HSG done. If you have a hydrosalpinx, consider removing it. If not, consider this protocol: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30328740
Hi Mam, I am Devi 36 years old, conceived and delivered my first child naturally , while we struggled for the second one. It’s 9 years we tried . And we have started IVF and heading for our first transfer on December 11 2020. My embryo grades are 4cb and 4 cc. Can u tell me based on ur experience have embryos with such grades been successful for patients . Hoping that they stick. But in case they don’t, then I wish to go for a second egg retrieval . And if I go for my second egg retrieval will I be getting the same grade of eggs ?
Hi Dr Can I eat pineapple core on my day of transfer ?
jolie makambu you can! But I wouldn’t unless it’s something you like to eat and it’s something you’ve eaten before. The core is very fibrous and it’s hard to eat.
Thnk you very much.
You are the best 👍🏿
My bmi is 35 i think ... 100kgs and 169cms tall. Im starting ivf in 9 weeks. This is our public funding in nz. So i will have to transfer straight away. What bmi should i aim for?
april lawson I don’t focus on the bmi as much as other things like: blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and your happiness :) if you’re bmi is 35 do what you can to slowwwwwwly lose weight to 30 but if you’re really healthy then I’m less worried about the BMI. So keep track of the things I have mentioned and talk to your doctor about what your goals should be for the very highest chances for pregnancy. And this is a great questions for my Instagram live on Tuesdays so do join if you’d like.
Awsome good insight, i appreciate it. And definitely will follow your insta
Lovely presentation doc.

Do you have to be on your cycle on 2nd day to do your embro transfer?
No, you don’t!
Hello Doctor , beautiful video .. my mock embryo transfer was quite painful for me , pain was while passing the catheter through my cervix .. though my gynaecologist did not find it difficult . As soon as she took it out I was fine .. is it okay to have pain while embryo transfer .? My FET is due next month
Yes it’s okay for it to be uncomfortable. I offer all my patients a valium 30 minutes prior. This should really help. Ask your doctor if they can do the same thing for you too.
@@EggWhisperer thank you so much 😊thanks for all your videos as well
@@dradisingh ahh so sweet. You’re welcome!
@@EggWhisperer Dear Dr. Amiee , I am currently on HRT - Progynova 2mg tablet and estradiol gel .. it was my Day 7 of this cycle yesterday and I had vaginal candidiasis which got diagnosed yesterday . As advised by my gynac I started Candid V3 , vaginal tablets for 3 days . Looks better to me today .Will this candidiasis affect my FET ? FET might be on 7th - 8th Jan ( D5 blastocysts grade A) .
@@dradisingh if you were my patient I would cancel the transfer of it didn’t resolve completely by transfer day
My 1st transfer failed. Have 2 frozen embryos..disheartened to try round 2.
They were frozen at day 2 ..grade A. Is there a chance where in it can get spoiled/ fermented after thaw?
M2 there is a chance an embryo won’t survive but I think the chance I worry about is whether they will progress after thaw. Why did they freeze day 2? Was there a particular reason for that?
@@EggWhisperer thanks for writing back. No reason was given to us. In total, we had 4 embryos, 2 transferred on day 2, 2 frozen on day 2 . Doc didn't even justify why day 2 . 🤷♀️
@@user-nm2je4db4t Ask the following: 1. How did my eggs look at egg retrieval? 2. How did the sperm look? 3. Why did you freeze on day 2 rather than wait? 4. What did we learn from this cycle? 5. What would you do differently after reviewing the answers from my questions in another cycle and what did we learn from this IVF cycle about why I'm not getting pregnant? 6. What is your expert advice re: what I should be doing next?
@@EggWhisperer thanks so much. Im defi gonna ask them these and many more. Ur videos have helped me get a clearer picture of this treatment, n ur replies have instilled confidence in me for try 2 . Keep up the good work ..best wishes dr.
