tongue diagnosis and pregnancy

Submitted by StillHopefull on Sat, 2011-11-12 14:56.
  • RE, Embryologist, OB/GYN, Dr. TCM,..

Hello,
I would like to know if the aspects of our tongue need to be "perfect" in order to get pregnant. I sometimes have red spots on my tongue (tip or edges) and also tend to have a "white" tongue. Can pregnancy occur even if my tongue looks like this or can pregnancy only occur when my tongue looks "healthy"?
 
Thank you.

IUI with donor semen

Submitted by R.P on Fri, 2010-10-29 17:14.
  • RE, Embryologist, OB/GYN, Dr. TCM,..

Hello,

I am planning to do an IUI with donor semen.  I had an HSG test and all other blood work for fertility workup.  Everything checked out fine.

I really like my gynecologist and she said that she can do an IUI with donor semen at her office.  Some friends are recommending going to the fertility clinic instead and working with an RE.  Is there a big difference in doing IUI at the ob/gyn office versus RE's office?  If the sperm sample is alaready prepared for and IUI, is there anything else that needs to be done?

Treatment approach for ovarian cyst(s)

Submitted by Michaele on Wed, 2010-09-22 07:58.
  • RE, Embryologist, OB/GYN, Dr. TCM,..

I was contacted by an RE to work w/a client w/low ovarian reserve and high stress.  The client was 8 weeks into oral birth control leading to IVF retrieval and transfer.  An ovarian cyst was recognized, client scheduled the first acupuncture treatment leading to a slight shrinkage of the cyst.  Two weeks later the cyst was larger and at that time the RE asked client to stop the birth control pills, wait for menses (thought to occur w/in one to three weeks following the last birth control pill) and then begin birth control pills again.

6 Weeks 4 Days Low Rising HCG But Heatbeat found

Submitted by Large Family on Tue, 2010-08-03 16:05.
  • RE, Embryologist, OB/GYN, Dr. TCM,..

I have a large family and I am pregnant for the tenth time (last two pregnancies were m/c)

My levels seem to not be doing what they should be and I am really concerned after all I have read online. The Doctor told me it is probably an ectopic or a m/c and due to
the fact the scan showed everything where it should be I am really
worrying. I do not have my HCG done again until Friday and a scan again
next week.

I haven't had any bleeding but also no pregnancy symptoms which is
the same as when I had my m/c's. With my children I had morning
