When to stop taking Q10, before or after pregnant?
Avena30sFemale
I am now awaiting embryo transfer . When should I stop taking Q10? Should I stop now or after I get pregnant?
I don't think CoQ10 helps. If you want to stop means you can stop now.

Yap30sFemale
My husband has got cryptozoospermia and microdeletion AZF. We have failed a few IVF cycles. Will his condition affect embryo implantation? How can we increase o...
The genetic implication has been noted here. So this genetic implication will be passed down to the offspring, possibly. So when the embryo is also affected by the condition, sometimes like implantation, of course, it would be low. All these are the factors th...

Day-3 embryo vs Day-5 Blastocysts
Suzanne30sFemale
How to choose Day-3 or Day-5 blastocyst? Which has a higher success pregnancy rate?
When you undergo an OPU, not all the eggs that your doctor retrieved can be fertilised and become an embryo due to natural selection. For example, if the doctor manages to retrieve 10 eggs during the OPU, perhaps 7 or 6 will be fertilised. Not all the fertilis...

How long should I wait to start IVF after I have COVID?

Your embryo transfer will not be affected by your hemorrhoid. But you are going to feel very uncomfortable. So if you were planning to for frozen transfer, I would recommend to get operated first. remove the hemorrhoid. So at least when you get pregnant then ...

Belle Lim30sFemale
I am 39. I have had 2 IUI treatments and both ended in failure. My husband's motility and morphology are bad. How can we increase our IVF success rates?
I would suggest you to go for ICSI because your husband's sperm motility and morphology are low. ICSI is a procedure in IVF in which the sperm will be directly injected into the egg in the lab.
You mentioned that your husband's sperm motility and morpholog...

Does high testosterone level affect the success rates of IVF?
Wong30sFemale
I have high testosterone levels - 1.53nmol/L. Will it affect my IVF success rates?
For some women with high testosterone levels such as those who have PCOS, it may affect their IVF success rates. But I think that it is more related to PCOS.
Sometimes, for those with really high testosterone levels, we will prescribe medicine like Diane 35...
