Me and my husband have been trying for 3 months. I’ve used pre seed, lh strips, and an app. I’m going to try adding bbt. Wish us luck.
I wish you all the luck on your fertility journey ❤
Hey Dr. Shahine, Just checked your youtube, really great stuff.
I was wondering are you looking for a short or long form video editor ? Or Whole CZcams management ?
Thank you for reaching out, but I already have a team that handles this for me. Best wishes!
@@drlorashahine thank you for the reply Dr Shahine
Hello, I’m curious because I had a tubal 17 years ago. I have good monthly cycles. I’m wanted to know if I can still ovulate?
Could you do videos on endometritis and isthmoceles?
Thank you for watching 😊This is a great topic that I can discuss in a future post. Thank you for the suggestion

What is the best ovulation test available out there that’s accurate? Becuz me and my husband are trying 😊
Great video doc ! I’m just confused as I do have a 27 day cycle which is like a clock , (very regular) but I hardly have the thin cervical mucus . So does it mean I’m ovulating or not ?

I'm in a similar boat... 😔
What REALLY irks me is apps not working with a cycle longer than 38 days. I've been tracking with ovu kits on and off for a year and I'm very sure about my cycle, it's just longer than "normal" people have. If the app worked well it would predict it for me but now I do the math every time and it all adds up. I would love to hear your thoughts about this though, because there is always the little doubt in my head- am I doomed, or will we be able to get preggo?
Doc can I ask? If the obgyne know if how many weeks pregnant? And the due date the baby?
Yes the doctor should be able to know this after doing tests. Thank you for watching ❤

I know I'm not ovulating. My progesterone level was at 0.1 ng/mL 3 months post BC. It's been 6 months post BC and still no luck. Periods are regular just very light. Had an HSG done and tubes are open . I then thought it was my prolactin levels ,they're within normal, but on the higher end, at 17ng/mL. I had galactorrhea which is why i got prescribed cabergoline. I now think my thyroid is to blame. It could be that my thyroid levels might be preventing me from getting pregnant. These are my thyroid levels
My TSH 3 months post BC was
1.630 uIU/mL
2 months later
0.806 uIU/mL
My T4 is 1.48 ng/mL
(TPO ) Ab is

Yêu bác sĩ nhiều lắm đó ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great content, super informative! Just one thing though, can we please use "women" rather than "people". People do not ovulate, women do. Using terminology like people is confusing and especially unfair on women for whom English isn't their first language and for women trying to learn. Please don't erase women from something that only women do.
Love your content though ❤
I appreciate your feedback. Some people who ovulate or have eggs do not identify as women and some people with sperm do not identify as men. I do say men and women from time to time but trying to be inclusive and respectful❤
I agree with you, it's not only confusing, but biologically wrong. You can't be inclusive to everyone - there are people that identify as animals, yet we still refer to humans as people... For now, anyway.
Sorry, but to add to this, while you're trying to be inclusive and not offend the ~1% you're offending the remaining ~99%.
@@kzfingerprint absolutely agree with this. It also makes the content so much less trustworthy. If a DOCTOR can't figure out what a woman is, then humanity is lost.
