A few questions regarding teeth and feeding babies....

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 12:16:18 -0600

Okay all you veteran mommies.. and maybe the doctors have some input?

1. Christian just turned 7 months old and he has NO teeth yet! It seems like all the babies around his age and even younger have at least 1, some even have 3 or 4.. should I be concerned?

2.I'm concerned about how much he is eating. His weight is exactly average.. and he's slightly longer than average.. but the way he eats I'd expect him to have fat rolls the size of my leg or something. He drinks about 6 to 7 bottles (6-8 oz) a day... (His dr said he should be eating between 24 and 32 oz of formula.. so he's definietly drinking morer than he has to....) but he's also eating 3-4 stage 2 jars of baby food a day plus a big bowl of cereal! He cries and cries for more.. so of course I let him eat it.. he's not overweight.. and he's drinking enough formula, so why not, right? But is he eating too much? Could it hurt him?

3.Why aren't you supposed to give babies egg whites? I was reading in my what to expect the first year and it suggested giving babies his age chunks of cheese or bread or egg yolk or even ground hamburger to self feed. I let him self feed with baby food, crackers, graham crackers, suckers, candy canes, biter biscuits etc... and I give him bites of what we eat sometimes... but why not egg whites? It seems like some scrambled eggs would be a good thing for him to chew on? Is it an "allergy prevention" thing? Because if so his doctor says that all of that is boloney. And should I really give him those things... if he has no teeth?

4.Last question.. sorry there are soooooooo many.. he's not crawling or scooting at all.. he can sit up by himself, mostly.. and he doesn't roll over often.. should I be worried about that? He CAN roll over, we've seen him do it but he doesn't seem to like to... and he wants to move.. he's gotten up on his arms in crawling position but then he just stops...

Thanks for reading all that.. and if you have any input on even one of the questions it will be much appreciated.

clomid higher dosage = more eggs?

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:50:55 -0600

hello, I was on 50mg for 3 cycles.. I ovulated all three cycles but the third cycle I developed a huge cyst (9cm, he is considering that poor ovulation)

so my RE is putting me on 100mg of clomid with IUI and HCG trigger shot.

will the higher dosage of clomid result in more eggs?

What tests can tell me if the quality of my eggs are good?

Possible to ovulate more than one egg when you haven't had a period in months?

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:51:02 -0600

I went through several months of lupron depot for endometriosis. My doctor said I could check OPK's around 9 weeks after my last injection. I've been checking for over a week and yesterday finally got a +!! But I've had terrible terrible pains on both sides. Could it possibly be that I am about to ovulate more than one egg since I haven't had a period in over 5 months? I never noted ovulation to be this painful before and from both ovaries. Thank you so much!!

diminished ovarian reserve and immature eggs

How common is diminished ovarian reserve or immature eggs in someone less than 35?

All eggs immature after an IVF retrieval.

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:57:34 -0600

My wife and I have had two IVF treatments from different fertility facilities. On our first visit the Doctors found polyps and surgically removed them. After they were removed all of her tests came back positive given her the green light for IVF. Before going for retrieval she had about 5 follicles well with in the range for mature eggs. They retrieved 20 eggs and all of them were very immature. We then went to a different Dr. and my wife was responding well to all of the IVF drugs, because of past experience he waited one extra day before doing the retrieval and got 13 eggs. All very immature (3 extremely immature and 10 very immature, at an M1 stage). We were told that this is extremely rare and that is possible that she doesn’t have any eggs capable of maturing but this not likely. The next step the Dr. wants to do is change her protocol. Maybe use different drugs and wait even longer for the HCG shoot. Does it sound like we are on the correct path in getting this resolved? Are there facilities around NYC area that specializes in unexplained infertility that we should be speaking to before proceeding with another IVF? Any help with explaining what might be happening here and what we should be doing would be greatly appreciated.

How common is it to consistantly ovulate immature eggs?

Beta 130 on 12dpo...

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:41:52 -0600

What do you guys think? More than one in there? Or is it just a good strong healhty SINGLE bean? =) I've read so many posts from women with twins that had beta's above 120 after 12dpo, but then again there is no proof, I'm just so curious. I had 3 eggs... YIKES lol. I'll repost my next set of numbers. I hope they more than doubled!!

immature eggs and trying to conceive

What causes immature or bad eggs and how common is it?

Can you tell how many eggs were released based on progesterone levels?

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 12:30:33 -0600

I had my progesterone tested on CD 26 and it was 123.73! The nurse said this was very good and I should take a HPT if no AF by CD32. My questions is, from that number, can I know how many eggs were released? Does a higher progesterone number mean you had a higher chance of conception?

3rd Clomid Cycle, Ovulation pains on both sides, think I released two eggs?

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:25:27 -0600

I always have slight cramping after ovulation too and this time I can feel it where both my ovaries are...

Think I ovulated from both sides?

Low E2

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:18:41 -0600

I have low E2 this IUI cycle (2 mature follicles and E2 is @ 110). My lining is ok at 8.5, but I'm still worried. It was low last cycle too. Does this mean that I have poor quality eggs? What are some other possible reasons for low E2?

How will I do with minimal stim/Lupron Stop protocol?

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:52:18 -0600

Hi Doctor,

I know you can't predict how I'll do, since I'm not your patient. But I'm wondering if I'll have enough eggs at retrieval. Two months ago, I had an antral follicle count of 17, normal Day 3 labs, etc. I'll be 36 in December. I requested that my RE be conservative with my first IVF cycle (now), because I'm afraid of OHSS and other bad side effects. So he put me on 10 units of Lupron (beginning 1 week after my +OPK), 75 Gonal-F, and 75 iu of Menopur.

However, I'm now wondering if this will result in only a few eggs. We'd like to have a few to freeze for later.

Do you think I'll have enough? Will the above protocol lower my risk of nasty side effects?

Thanks!

Christine

What days to take Clomid, 3-7 or 5-9?

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:21:58 -0600

What difference does it make if you take clomid days 3-7 or 5-9? Is it true there are more eggs days 3-7 but 5-9 is more stable?

Been trying to have our first baby for 3 years as of October 2008. My husband is 24 and I am 23. We were best friends in high school, I've known him since I was 6 years old. We've been together 6 years on November 2nd =)

Been married for 3 years. Bought our first house a month before we got married. We are hard working and honest mid-west people. =)

After stopping birth conrtol pills I did not have a period for 13 months. Then once I got a period every month I tried naturally for a year, nothing. So I went to the Dr and found out I do not ovulate on my own (even though I get a period each month I fall into the 20% of women who get a false period but do not ovulate) I'm on clomid right now. First round 50 mg. No ovulation.

Second round 50 mg. No ovulation, but on huge follicle at least. Progesterone level 0.8 on cd 25.

Third Round 100 mg... still awaiting the results.

The goal is to get me to ovulate on my own so I can finally get pregnant!! I've had a HSG, u/s, bloodwork. We are awaiting the results of DH's semen analysis right now.

I was told I may have a sub septate uterus. I have a SIS this month to get that checked out. May have to get it fixed soon.

Working part time now and going to school for nursing. Every day is a challenge, but I know my time to be a mother is closer than ever and I am very very thankful. I know there is a time and place for everything and soon my life will change. I am already very blessed and I realize why it was meant to be that we waited to be parents (although it does not ease the pain). I wish you all the best and if we only truly believe we will be mothers then we will achieve it =)

Docs: What percentage of eggs get thru oviducts?

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:13:40 -0600

My doc explained the anatomy of the oviducts and ovaries to me, but he didn't know about what percentage of ovulated eggs make it into and thru the oviducts. Do you know?

true or false

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 01:31:21 -0600

if you have an irregular cycle, you could have another egg released from your ovaries while you are still having your period. That egg could get fertilized in the fallopian tubes, and enter the uterus after your period ends. It would then implant, and then you'd be pregnant.
