My husband and I are currently in our first cycle of IUI. Our fertility Dr let us know we could do either IUI or IVF, we decided to do IUI just because it will help u meet our deductible and co insurance a lot sooner. So I hope that we are successful in our first round, especially since we’ve been trying for over a year and a half now. I feel like anything can help benefit us as we make our way through this process of having a family
God bless those of you struggling. I’m not sure why this video was recommended or why i clicked it but hey i learned some new things today so I’m grateful. Also i love your last name! If we would have been school mates i would have been that annoying friend who , every time they saw you would sing your last name to you … for no reason 😊 😅
Another option other than discarding embryos is embryo adoption/donation. That way you are helping another family build their family and you don't have to feel the guilt of "ending" the embryo's life by discarding them.
I've thought about this, but my other concern is having a biological kid out there that may one day want to know who their biological parents are. Or that we will always wonder about it.
I'd like to further add to this and ask that people also consider and line up a surrogate for any additional embryos✌️ this is assuming they want to keep all of them of course❤️
If otherwise healthy with no complaints, why do some clinics treat overweight people and some not? I'm aware of the challenges and risks but the differences are so wide from clinic to clinic and another comment, they are generally not refusing to treat people with other medical conditions.
Amazing video Dr.Lora . Your explanation is so spot on ❤ . Really appreciate it . God bless ya and your family ❤. I have a uterine polyp about 1cm , no symptoms though, have been trying for 2 years , and my doc suggested IUI. All other tests are normal ( good egg reserve , fallopian tubes normal , sperm analysis normal etc )She said removing it surgically is the best but since wait times are longer for surgeries could go for IUI in the mean time . Could you please comment on polyps and their effect on conceiving . Thanks a ton in advance ❤
Great question - I know the standards in the US are very high and high tech options like ICSI and genetic testing are used to increase success but they also increase cost
Could you please do a video on low AMH levels. I was diagnosed with a very low AMH at age 32. I am also on a low dose of thyroid medication because my numbers were a tiny bit low. I have normal cycles, don’t seem to have difficulties getting pregnant but keeping the pregnancy past a handful of weeks. What does IVF look like with these type of issues

i am going through this journey and need to make a decision between choosing tests. Your videos have been the most helpful thank you so much. Such a pure heart and very well educated. Where are you located I would do anything to meet you and potentially be a patient of yours.
Very insightful! My husband was diagnosed with Sertoli Only Cell Syndrome which causes him to be sterile. What would be the best way for us to have a child? I’m 36 years old, and I have mild endometriosis.
does taking the FSH medication to stimulates egg grow will have any side effects? like speeding up the rates of loosing dormant follicules? any cons to the ovaries? if failed IUI, when can to the second time or going into IVF?
This explain is very much easy and understnding the 2 way how to selection of IUI ＆IVF. This is a special question, but in Japan, it is said that pregnant women over the age of 35 are giving birth at an advanced age, and the ovaries themselves become stale. Please give me the latest information on the relationship between the age of the ovary and sperm respectively.👏👴
Thank you for this. I am 41 and all is good and I want at least 2 kids. But, I am single and would love to have a family with a partner and one big con is I dont know the donor irl and idk how many other kids are in the world thanks to him. IVF is no option for me because of the cost and the more intensive procedure. I always wanted a family but Mr Right never came my way. I never delayed it in sake of career eg. The clinics I´ve been to said my chances of a sucessful pregnancy by IUI are reason they only treat me with extra hormones and monitoring and would rather not go for IUI. I am really torn. I want my babies and I know I dont have much time left anymore. My question is, do you have experience with a woman my age and a sponatnous IUI aka only my own cycle monitoring, having an ultra at day of ovulation a cycle before IUI and then repeat, so go for IUI the next cylce without extra hormones? I know the chance is only 0% if I don´t have an IUI or a partner.
Is it possible to do an episode of trigger shot explaining? For example can you do hcg injection to trigger ovulation (trigger shot for natural ivf) ever month constantly for 6 months? Will it increase the chance of getting cancer, including thyroid cancer? Thank you!
Question - with ICSI, are we forcing the egg and sperm to "like eachother" and in a way, going against how nature would normally have it where the egg sort of "calls out" to the sperm it likes best. Pardon my non intellectual way of saying it but it makes me wonder if ICSI is somehow forcing these genetic materials together in a way that they otherwise would never come together and if so what are the repercussions for any subsequent children born from that pairing?

Hi dr. I m 32 yrs and married for 6yrs. I have done 4 iui under two doctrs. Only i have irregular menstruation , and control thyroxin with medicines. I have done laporoscopy test and found that i have no any tube blocks ,adhesive or any other. In all iui procedures ,i have done scan on 12 th day of my period cycle. There were 2or 3matured follicles . Got injections and done iui in 13th day or 14th day. Can u pls explain me what may be the reasons to fail my iui.

I had two unsuccessful IUI procedures where they only gave me Clomid and had me track my own ovulation. No ultrasound or trigger shot. Is this normal? Should they have monitored me for ovulation before doing the procedure? I feel like it was so unknown and I felt disconnected and wanted to have more insight and them to want more insight. Thoughts?
Not every clinic is able to offer mid cycle ultrasounds but I often do for that very reason. Reassuring to see the mature follicle and access uterine lining.
Hallo doctor thank you for making so useful video on you tube. It’s really helpful. I m 38 old and having 1 daughter. I stayed long relationship with my husband like almost 8 yr but I used to go vocation every year for 3 week. Since last year April I reunited with my husband here in my country. We tried making baby but it not success all the times. But in October last year I had miscarriage at 6weeks pregnant. 😢😢😢so yesterday I went to consult doctor and did all my necessary check up and doctor said my tubes is in ok but I have some limit eeg in ovaries and my husband sperm count and mobility is also limit. So doctor suggested me to going to start IUI process.so next week doctor said he will make file for that procedure. But I am worrying how it goes and I would like to go any procedure that have more chances of conceiving at one time and without failing. As I am already in 38 and my husband 41. Please kindly suggest me doctor. Do I need to take any medicine that helps to improve my egg and any medication for my husband sperm count.???
My fallopian tubes are partially closed (both). I was thinking of IUI but now it seems that IVF is the way. Is there a way to unblock my fallopian tubes without surgery ?
I'm so sorry for the failed IUI Lorie. This is a great question. I would advise you to consult your medical provider, as I can't give medical advice to personal situations on social media.

I had my tube tied and cut I think I was really out of it and my obgyn moved out of state and I can't get my records. How can I get pregnant in my situation?
Many of my patients conceive with one open fallopian tube without IVF! There are many things to consider in IUI vs IVF but one tube does not mean IVF is the only option😀
Do you recommend talking to my doctor before I plan to conceive? I don't like my doctors and don't want them too involved, until it's necessary. I'm not sure if it's needed as the average person who gets pregnant naturally, probably didn't tell there doctor until they were pregnant.
Most people start trying without seeing a doctor. But if you have a chronic medical condition or you’re taking prescription medication to treat some thing, it’s a good idea to check in and get pre-conception counseling.
Hi doctor lora, may i ask what procedure i should choose between two because i am diagnosed of hydrosalpinx and my other fallopian tube is already totally removed. Hope to get noticed this message from u

Hello thank you for your video. What’s ur opinion on someone with past ectopic surgery no tube removal but the tube is blocked. Right tube clear . I’ve seen a fertility clinic have completed everything hsg- which showed blocked tube, sonogram test - showed eggs ovaries and everything looks good and healthy except blocked tube . No recommendation for surgery on it doc said leave it be but she recommended IVF. IVF is too costly. IUI is an option but doc says I have higher chance of another ectopic but still small chance of ectopic with IVF likely but I guess not as high. What’s my chances of trying on my own - exercise, better diet? Hubby did semen analysis his sperm has 2% morphology. Suggestions?

Grading of embryos involves fragmentation and quality of the embryo. It’s a beauty contest and some ‘ugly’ embryos can still turn into beautiful babies. The number has to do with how hatched the embryo is out of the zone pellucida and the letters describe the quality of 2 parts of the blastocyst. First letter describes the cells of the inner cell mass (will become the baby) and the second letter describes the cells of the trophectoderm (will become the placenta)
Me and my wife from the uk have being trying for 19 month now we have had one miscarriage 6 month ago and 3 week ago I done a seman analysis and I have 18% count out of 32% am 29 year old
Me and my hubby very healthy and check everything is ok. My husband had stress of work as i am housewife and quit the job. 1st round we had done IUI failed and now we are trying 2nd time for IUI. My age is 37 soon 38. My husband age 41. My husband dont enjoy the sex .is that the reason we can’t pregnant? Please advise doctor🙏
Text books say 1 year if less than 35 years old and 6 months if 35 years or older but I don’t think it’s ever too soon the get testing, reassurance, education
Yes because they encourage release of more eggs BUT higher risk of multiples and the meds are very expensive without a high overall chance of success compared to IVF. Good to reviews pros and cons with your doctor
Dr. Shahine, I am 47 with very good hormonal readings and my husband's semen analysis is not good. Do you recommend that we try with a couple of IUI cycles first? Many thanks for all your magical work and noble mission! 💐

My wife and I want to do IVF but the problem I have after doing fertility test I recorded zero sperm count due to blocked sperm duct. Is it possible for sperm to retrieved direct from testicles
Vanteru, I have a lot of resourceful information about IUI on my Instagram account, my blog posts on my website drlorashahine.com that can be helpful to answer your question :-)
Thank you for reaching out! I would love to help you, but it’s best to see someone near you since fertility care is typically ongoing and multiple visits. I love connecting and educating and wish I could care for more patients but we all have limitations.
It’s tough to know everything about your personal case but in general IVF controls for more variables and can have a higher chance of success than IUI. Best wishes to you!
Hi Dr Shahine, i had my left ovary and fallopian tube taken out due to large cyst on my left ovary twice in 2 years. I am 36 and my fertility test are normal. Do you suggest IUI option for me?
Hello, question for you, im 36, have had 3 miscarriages around the 5-6 week mark for all, one chemical pregnancy, and to end on a happy note gave birth to my daughter who came a month early in the middle of those miscarriages. Looking into fertility clinics now in my area. My question is I have a feeling it could be related to chromosomes, does IUI help at all with that? Or is IVF the better route?

Hello mam, Me and my husband going for IUI 1st cycle.reason for IUI is my husband is having problem with sperm morphology, having 1 percent out of 4.sperm count is good. Will this be successful. Whats the chance of success rate? Whats your insights or suggestions here?
Hello Dr, Lora. It's already a 12 days after IUI.I am not seeing any changes in my body. I am just tensed that will this successful. Any suggestions can you give me?

Yes. It’s best practices to transfer a single embryo and have one healthy baby at a time since multiple gestation is associated with a high-risk pregnancy. But very often people have embryos frozen from one egg retrieval that they can use in the future to try again.
@@drlorashahine hi thank u so much for all your help im 3 days late on my period jist took a test i hope its accurate as it says im.pregnant but should i do another test in a few days time?
I’m 32 years old, trying to get pregnant 3 years and never happened, i did hsg my falopian tube and uterus are completely ok, i have ovulation and normal menstrual cycle. These days i’m taking Clomifene and Gonal F 75 ie and I’ll do IUI for the firs time. Do i have chance to get pregnant from the first time IUI ?!

As long as you are ovulating and trying, there’s always a chance. Limiting factor can just be that there are fewer eggs that are able to do all they need to do at age 45 but I have seen it happen! Best wishes to you.
The IUI catheter was easy to use and comfortable, making the procedure less daunting. Thanks, Makeamom for providing such an amazing kit.
Oh my! This is very insightful. Thanks doc. The algorithm brought me to your HSG video and it's been a blessing.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for watching!

Hello thank you for your video. What’s ur opinion on someone with past ectopic surgery no tube removal but the tube is blocked. Right tube clear . I’ve seen a fertility clinic have completed everything hsg- which showed blocked tube, sonogram test - showed eggs ovaries and everything looks good and healthy except blocked tube . No recommendation for surgery on it doc said leave it be but she recommended IVF. IVF is too costly. IUI is an option but doc says I have higher chance of another ectopic but still small chance of ectopic with IVF likely but I guess not as high. What’s my chances of trying on my own - exercise, better diet? Hubby did semen analysis his sperm has 2% morphology. Suggestions?

Text books say 1 year if less than 35 years old and 6 months if 35 years or older but I don’t think it’s ever too soon the get testing, reassurance, education
Would the injectables (Gonal F) improve IUI success?
Yes because they encourage release of more eggs BUT higher risk of multiples and the meds are very expensive without a high overall chance of success compared to IVF. Good to reviews pros and cons with your doctor
I made successful ivf baby
Dr. Shahine, I am 47 with very good hormonal readings and my husband's semen analysis is not good. Do you recommend that we try with a couple of IUI cycles first?
Many thanks for all your magical work and noble mission! 💐

My wife and I want to do IVF but the problem I have after doing fertility test I recorded zero sperm count due to blocked sperm duct. Is it possible for sperm to retrieved direct from testicles
Simply Google your question 😅
After iui is there any symptoms occur that indicates pregnancy .please tell me about this.
Vanteru, I have a lot of resourceful information about IUI on my Instagram account, my blog posts on my website drlorashahine.com that can be helpful to answer your question :-)
Do you offer video consultations?
Thank you for reaching out! I would love to help you, but it’s best to see someone near you since fertility care is typically ongoing and multiple visits. I love connecting and educating and wish I could care for more patients but we all have limitations.
My dr denied my IUI and wants us to do a Mini IVF. He was concern I was only 26 and trying for 3 years. What do you think?
It’s tough to know everything about your personal case but in general IVF controls for more variables and can have a higher chance of success than IUI. Best wishes to you!
Hi Dr Shahine, i had my left ovary and fallopian tube taken out due to large cyst on my left ovary twice in 2 years. I am 36 and my fertility test are normal. Do you suggest IUI option for me?
I recommend a check up, evaluation first (make sure that right tube is open) and review all options with a fertility specialist. Best wishes to you!
Hello, question for you, im 36, have had 3 miscarriages around the 5-6 week mark for all, one chemical pregnancy, and to end on a happy note gave birth to my daughter who came a month early in the middle of those miscarriages. Looking into fertility clinics now in my area. My question is I have a feeling it could be related to chromosomes, does IUI help at all with that? Or is IVF the better route?
IUI does not screen for chromosome rearrangements like IVF can. IVF can decrease risk of miscarriage but not 💯- best wishes

Me and my husband going for IUI 1st cycle.reason for IUI is my husband is having problem with sperm morphology, having 1 percent out of 4.sperm count is good. Will this be successful. Whats the chance of success rate?

IUI success depends on son age of both partners, fertility diagnosis, etc but about 20% each try for most people ❤️🤞🍍

With ivf can the couple choose to have more than 1 child?
Yes. It’s best practices to transfer a single embryo and have one healthy baby at a time since multiple gestation is associated with a high-risk pregnancy. But very often people have embryos frozen from one egg retrieval that they can use in the future to try again.
@@drlorashahine hi i will defo bear that in mind thank u 😃
@@drlorashahine hi thank u so much for all your help im 3 days late on my period jist took a test i hope its accurate as it says im.pregnant but should i do another test in a few days time?
I’m 32 years old, trying to get pregnant 3 years and never happened, i did hsg my falopian tube and uterus are completely ok, i have ovulation and normal menstrual cycle.
These days i’m taking Clomifene and Gonal F 75 ie and I’ll do IUI for the firs time.
Do i have chance to get pregnant from the first time IUI ?!
I’m so sad, all my friends have childrens, i feel so unhappy 😞
Try not to get discouraged. God has a plan for all of us and he knows our heart’s desires. Trust the process. 🙏🏻

What if the hysterosalpingography shows everything is good, the semen analysis is good, but there's very few eggs?
I'm 45 and my labs came back at 0.1 % , but my husband's sperm count was extremely high , can I still get pregnant with those numbers ?
As long as you are ovulating and trying, there’s always a chance. Limiting factor can just be that there are fewer eggs that are able to do all they need to do at age 45 but I have seen it happen! Best wishes to you.
No don't, your too old to get prego
🙏💯💯
