Getting Pregnant Questions - Page 12 of 13

Dear Dr Brain, I'm 41 years old with irregular cycle, every two months. I had past history of faliure of induction with clomophine tablets when I was 39 years old. Do I need to use contraceptive method or not, as I do not want more kids now. Many Thanks.

Hi, what if I have lining problems and can not get over 6mm? Is there any drug to grow lining to inbed embryos?

Dear Professor Brian, could you please explain what is meant by embryo transfer & blastocyst transfer? And the rates of pregnancies associated with them? Many thanks for your help.

I had IVF treatment at MFS in 2009 and I have a 19 month old baby boy. In october 2011 I became pregnant naturally but after 11 weeks I had a miscarriage. The baby's growth stopped in 9 weeks. Now I'm worried about what we will do to achieve a future pregnancy. Please guide me thanks, waiting for your reply.

My eggs are no good but will I be able to have ivf using my own eggs?

Advice please... I'm 30, diagnosed with mild endometriosis and failed to concieve after 9 months - I had only 3 temp shifts on charting and egg on clearblue monitor, with luteal phases of 11dpo. I was started on 50mg clomid for 3 months and day 21 progesterones were 27 month 1 and 2 but had egg on monitor every month with 11dpo luteal phase. I was told this was borderline for ovulation and started on 100mg and discharged back to GP but now my day 21 is only 20! Am I definately not ovulating with those progesterone levels? What can I do next? Do you think I should stop clomid or do I need progesterone supplements? Many thanks, Emma

I have just been reading your page on obesity and the chances of becoming pregnant - in which it explains that the chances of becoming pregnant are reduced due to the extra weight, I am about to start IVF at MFS and have been informed that my weight will not have an effect on the success of the treatment, I have a BMI of 31 and am just under 15 stone - which information is correct? Thank you.

I am in my thirties with an andromist in my uterus but I would love to get pregnant by artificial insemination with an anomimous sperm donor. I don't know the cost or how many treatments I would have to get. I need to know so I can save the money or use what I have got. Thank you for your discretions and your help. Laurna
