It only takes one!

Posted on 12:32 by Unknown
Now some of you that read my last post are thinking - "Sure it's easy for him to say that you only need one embryo but I KNOW that I need more than that..." But I remain steadfast in my view that measurement of ovarian reserve can only get you so far.For example, here is another clinical vignette right out of our practice here at Dominion Fertility:TM is a 37 year old with a history of slightly irregular periods who had been treated previously at another fertility clinic. She was successful in 2004 conceiving after a cycle of CC/FSH/IUI. In 2006...

Can my endometrium be too thick?

Posted on 07:20 by Unknown
Wow, what a terrible blogger I have been these past few weeks. No new posts for a while and no insightful hints for the 3 regular readers of this blog (sorry Mom, I promise to call this week!). I could make up some incredible story about how I have been performing 80 hours of community service a week or that I have been traveling to South America with certain public officials from South Carolina or that I have been sick for weeks with the Swine Flu....
