We just discovered my husband suffers Y Chromosome microdeletion, which was unknowninlgy, genetically passed from his father. He has severe oligospermia. Now, we’re trying ICSI but I fear if it will get passed to our male child. Gender selection isn’t allowed in my country. What can we do? I’m so new to this.

My doctor suggested me to eat a moderately healthy diet and allow myself an occasional binge during IVF. However, being desperate to conceive, I went on this crazy IVF diet – only consuming gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based, no sugar diet but now I’m at the breaking point and am wondering if this was all a good […]

I’ve been recommended to undergo diagnostic hysteroscopy to see if everything is ok. I’ve never been under anesthesia but my doctor recommended I could get it because of how nervous I am. The other option is to just do it in-office but I wonder how painful it could be? I’m leaning towards the second option […]

My last period was light and felt quite dry. I’ve never had a dry period. It was also delayed by 4 days. I wasn’t dehydrated or anything but did sleep very late a few nights around the time. I’m 37 and haven’t frozen my eggs still. Should I be concerned?

I finally gathered the courage to consult with a fertility expert after trying for over 18 months. I don’t know what questions to ask or what to expect? Any tips for the first IVF appointment?

Hi, did you give up coffee when TTC with IVF? I love coffee but my doctor suggests it can affect my iron levels, so I should cut back. How many cups of coffee can one safely have?

Did anyone have no usable embryos in the first cycle but saw any improvement with your embryos in 2nd or 3rd cycle in the next few months? Did you eventually succeed? We had 8 eggs but no good embryos in one cycle and I’m not sure what to expect. Please advise.

We got 19 eggs and 11 of them fertilized. I’m nervous about the final results; trying to see how many turn to healthy blastocycts. Please share with me how many blasts or normal PGT embryos did it take for you to conceive one baby? I cannot afford to do this all again.

After the long IVF journey, I imagined the only challenge was getting pregnant and rest of the journey would be smooth. No one warned me how taxing it could be. At first the anxiety of the pregnancy test, then waiting for every ultrasound, every test. Every little cramp makes me want to reach out to […]

We did not find any clear reasons as to what might have caused the failure and the vague responses from the clinic were unhelpful. The doctor was trying to convince us it’s the age factor but 37 isn’t too old, so I’m not quite sure that was the only reason especially since we have more […]
