You had an early miscarriage! TTC tips for your next pregnancy
At InfertilityTV, we get lots of questions from you the viewers. A common question we get is, what to do after an early miscarriage. The first thing we recommend? DON’T PANIC!! For what to do next stay tuned.
It turns out that early miscarriages are extremely common. The majority of women will have at least one early miscarriage at some point during their lives. In fact, many women have had an early miscarriage and didn’t even know it. Sometimes, that period that you had which was a week late was really an early miscarriage. Often, you may have had a positive pregnancy test at home or in the doctor’s office and then start bleeding a day or two later. This is also an early miscarriage.
The first thing to do is to make sure that the pregnancy has passed completely. This is especially important if you were able to see the pregnancy on ultrasound. One way to do this is to have your doctor get blood tests to follow your hCG levels until they are negative.
Once you are sure you have completed the miscarriage, wait for your period to come and then start trying to get pregnant right away. This is important. In the past, doctors used to tell patients to wait for several months to try to get pregnant again. Now, however, we have very good evidence that your chances for getting pregnant again and your chances for having a live birth are BETTER if you don’t wait.
Women who have had one early miscarriage are NOT at greater risk for a second early miscarriage compared to women who have never had an early miscarriage at all. So don’t assume that just because you miscarried once that it will happen again.
Monitoring in your doctor’s office can help reassure you that your next pregnancy is doing well. As soon as you think you might be pregnant, contact your OB or fertility specialist. Blood tests every few days and then ultrasounds can help determine whether you might be at risk for another early miscarraige.
Out InfertilityTV Bottom line is that most women who have an early miscarriage will be able to have a baby. Trying again immediately is an easy an effective way to increase your chances to get pregnant

What's the best time of year to get pregnant? TTC Tips for MAX fertility
Scientists have known for a long time that there is a considerable difference in how many babies are born in different seasons. Today on InfertilityTV we are going to use this information to show you when you are most likely to be able to get pregnant.
The first thing you need to know about when your peak seasonal fertility is that geography matters. Women who live in warm temperature climates have a different fertility pattern than women who live in colder climates.
In warm climates, such as the southern states in the USA, there are less births in the spring. This means that conceptions in the previous hot summer were lower. The same pattern is seen in India, Israel and Taiwan.
August is usually the hottest month in the northern hemisphere. Scientists have found that in a warm climate, a hotter August produces less babies than a more moderate August.
This impact of temperature does not seem to occur in cooler climates like the northern United States, Canada and European countries or at least its not as important
It is not known why these temperature fluctuations affect fertility. One explanation may simply be that couples are not having intercourse as frequently in the hotter summer months. Another theory points to the possibility that heat can reduce sperm numbers and movement.
So our InfertilityTV Bottom line is this. If you live in a warm region, concentrate your efforts on trying to get pregnant when its a little cooler such as the fall or spring. If you live in a cooler climate,. Don’t worry about the time of year, it probably wont have much effect.

IVF - Why Eggs Don't Fertilize
Sometimes during IVF, the eggs don't fertilize.. Why does this happen? Find out in this episode of InfertilityTV with IVF Expert, Dr Randy Morris.
We can divide fertilization failure into three categories. 1) Problems with the sperm 2) Problems with the egg and 3) A combination of problems.
#IVF #ICSI #FertilizationFailure
So there are three major barriers that sperm must get past in order to release their contents into the egg. There are abnormalities that can occur in sperm that can cause one or more of these steps to fail.
Fortunately, we have a technology called ICSI that can bypass these problems. ICSI involves injected a sperm directly inside the egg. As a result, ICSI is an excellent technique for bypassing any problem which makes it harder for a sperm to get inside the egg
Even if a sperm is injected into an egg using ICSI, problems within the egg may still prevent the process of fertilization from being completed.
Unfortunately, we do not have accurate testing which can identify which sperm or eggs may have abnormalities that will prevent fertilization. Using ICSI, we can bypass most if not all of the SPERM problems but not the EGG problems.
There are no known technologies that can fix these sperm or egg problems. Unless technology changes dramatically, attempts at fertilization are never going to be perfect.
