Description

There’s so much to learn from each other, and I love that Melissa shared this question with us recently on an episode of Ask The Egg Whisperer. “I got pregnant pretty fast 3 times between 2018-2019 and they all miscarried at 5 weeks. I found out I had 2 fibroids 1.6 centimeters in my uterine cavity, and got them removed. I’m 35 and I haven’t been able to get pregnant since my surgery. Were the fibroids the real reason for my loss? Why can't I get pregnant as fast as before?” Thank you for bringing this up, Melissa. This is why I created the TUSHY Method, to give people a way to remember the five things to look into when they are having difficulty trying to conceive. This is what I’d suggest in figuring out your fertility diagnosis. U: Uterus: Based on your fibroids, we will then have an idea of what is going on with your uterus. Consider a saline infusion sonogram to look for scar tissue in the cavity. T: Fallopian Tubes: What else is happening? It’s important to consider your fallopian tubes and whether scar tissue is present. S: Sperm: Do a test (like meetfellow.com) to check how fast they're swimming. H: Hormones: Get your FSH, and Estradiol on cycle day three, along with your AMH level. This gives us an idea as to what's going on with your eggs. Y: Is Your genetic profile. Talk to your doc about the genetic tests they offer. In my answer (Melissa’s is the first question I answer in the episode), I also walk through the ANGEL Workup, which are the steps I recommend for anyone who has had a miscarriage. I hope this information helps Melissa get to the family that she deserves. If you want to tune in to the whole episode of “Ask the Egg Whisperer” you can find the link in my profile.
