I had a surgical abortion, I have concerns about my future fertility?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I have concerns about my future fertility and hope you can shed some light on my concerns. I am 20 years old and when I was 14 had a surgical abortion when I was just over 11 weeks gone. I have concerns that I may have scar tissue in the uterus due to minimal periods but lately different period pains. After having the abortion I had an implant put in and after that had a second implant which I have recently had removed about 1 month ago. Of course my body is still adjusting but something tells me something isn’t right. My period came exactly 1 week after the removal of my implant and lasted about 5 days which was fairly light. And exactly when my next period was due, it came on time but again very light. Please could you help me understand what may be wrong due to previous operation and having light periods. Thank you.



I have been taking synthroid for at least 10 years, now want to get pregnant?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I’m a 31 year old female who has been taking synthroid for at least 10 years and who also wishes to get pregnant in the coming months. I stopped birth control in December. Had a normal period in January and February. In February my synthroid dose was changed from 50 mcg to 25 mcg grams because it tested below normal range. I have not had a period in over 60 days. Could my synthroid change have stopped my periods? Will going back on the old dosage bring them back? Time is of the essence in this matter. Recent lab works shows my TSH levels back within normal range.

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Hello please help me and my wife. Me and my wife have been trying to have a child for two years. She eats healthy. Exercises daily most of the time. But her periods are irregular and for the past three days she’s been having symptoms of pregnancy but two tests came back negative one took today and one took last Tuesday. She’s 4 weeks late period (we think) her last period was last month 19-26. Idk if her hcg are just too low or what. But 99% of the time of her period or about two days before she gets breast pain. But she hasn’t got breast pain. She has weird feeling stomach. Some pain in the pelvic area. Dizzy sometimes. Better sense of smell. But still no positive.

My fallopian tubes are blocked do you recommend I freeze my eggs?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

HI I am a Female 6 days away from 33. 6 years ago I had an atopic pregnancy. Tried for years to get pregnant again only to find out that both of my fallopian tubes are blocked. The doctor told me my best bet is to just have them removed. Then do in vitro. I am not married and work two jobs. I am worried that I’m getting too old and time is slipping away. Do you recommend freezing my eggs. For when I’m ready to go along with the surgery?



Our fertility doctor suggests an Ultrasound, Abdominal Vessels procedure, need second doctor opinion?

Posted on by — 6 Comments ↓

Hi, We’ve been having problem getting pregnant and have been seeing a fertility doctor. Every time my wife was around ovulation time she would go to the doctor and receive a intra-vaginal ultrasound. When we received the claim it listed, among others, an expensive procedure called “Ultrasound, Abdominal Vessels”. Is this a necessary exam to establish whether she was ovulating? What is this exam normally used for?



I had a semen analysis, need second doctor opinion and more advice?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

31 male. No medication. I had a vasectomy 2 years ago and it took roughly 6 months of semen analysis saying 1 or rnms. My urologist had me bring a sample and said I’m sterile. He used a microscope. I wanted a clear lab result so at a year I went and received 2 clear samples!! After the lab spilled 2 of them in transit. I thought about the issues and had 1 more test done last month to make sure and the result was sperm present. So again my urologist had me bring a sample in and he said without a doubt I’m sterile. I asked why the lab said there were sperm and he said sometimes they don’t know what they are looking at. It was quest diagnostics. Now I’m unsure. Can a lab be wrong? Or trust my dr.

In response to my previous question ( http://questiondoctors.com/i-had-a-semen-analysis-not-convinced-lab-analyzed-it-correctly/) of different dr and lab results from vasectomy. It says few sperm observed 1-5hpf from an uncentrifuged specimen.

Sample was qns for concentration



I have been prescribed euthyrox and dostinex for infertility, need second opinion?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I am a 36yr old female. I have recently begun procedures to investigate infertility. My free TW levels are 1.24. My TSH levels are 4.42 and my prolactin levels are 36.72. I have been prescribed euthyrox and dostinex. Can you tell me if this is appropriate medication? I am on no other medication, have regular periods and have no medical complaints. Unfortunately, the medical care provided but the state is generally accepted as poor in the country where I live and I would love a second opinion before I start perhaps unnecessary drugs.

Trying to conceive but no success, need solution?

Posted on by — 6 Comments ↓

We are married for approx 4.5 years and trying to conceive since then but no success. We started treatment for same around 1 year ago. My sperm count are 15 mill/ml. My wife’s AMH level is 0.68 ng/ml and FSH is 13.35 mIu/ml We tried two failed IUIs. Due to my low sperm count and her low AMH levels our doctor is suggesting for OD IVF for successful IVF. I do not want to go with donor egg IVF at this stage. I see it as a last resort only. What option do we have? Can we do IVF with my wife’s egg? I did some research on internet and found AMH test is relatively new and it only predicts about overian reserve not about the egg quality. Even, women having 0.1 AMH have conceived naturally. I found if she takes following contents for 3 months her egg quality and hormone levels can be improved. DHEA, 25mg thrice a day. CoQ 10, 100 mg daily Folic Acid 1mg/day Greens: wheat grass 2 shots/day, or, spirulina 3000mg/day Omega-3 2000mg/day Vitamin D 1000 IU/day Can you please prescribe for above contents and also for improving my sperm count? I plan to do AMH test again after taking medicines for 3 months. Regards
