      Can you please help me out. I just done my egg retrieval and now I have a upset stomach and my stomach is becoming bigger then it was. Is there any home natural remedy to cure? Do you now how long will this Symptom go away?

    This brought me to tears, my retrieval should be in a few days. You have such great information, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I was wondering, I’ve heard that if you feel up to it you should have intercourse after the retrieval. It’s possible there are eggs left behind and with all the hormones you “could “ get pregnant that way? Have you heard this/ recommend?

    New subscriber here. Love your videos! If u do egg retrieval cycles multiple times within a short time frame - does it mean you’re more likely to get more eggs in the next cycle (cause u still kind of have the hormones from the previous cycle) a bit? Thanks!

    My egg retrival is tomorrow but
    My doc suggested i freeze the embryo and do the transfer after two cycles, Do you think it's possible for me to still go for my transfer this cycle and not have any complications because of the pcos??

    Dr, you talked about an increase in the progesterone. I'm afraid coz I have PMDD and very sensitive to progesterone in general. Is it going to have an increase proportionate to the number of eggs?

    • @drlorashahine

      Progesterone levels are typically higher after egg retrieval than in a natural cycle but it’s a temporary elevation
