Hi Dr, I wonder if you can help me, I have just finish my 2nd IVF both resulting in negative results, on my first one only had 3 egg collect as they could not get to one of my ovaries, out of 3 2 fertilise and they put them back on day 2, on my second I had 18 folicles even that my MHA is only 5.4 and I am 39 years old, of the 18 we had 6 eggs collected and 100% fertilazation I had 2 embrios put back of top quality one of 8 cell and one morula but again no pregnancy. I got an under active thyroid that is very dificult to control and I was told that I had antibodies from that us well but my Dr never checked on that I am on tablet for my thyroid but nothing for my untibodies, and I heard that that can give problems with implantation ?
Also my husband and I don't have any infertility issues the only reason for OVF is because I was sterilise 8 years ego and I do have 3 children with my ex husband with no problems to get pregnant at all.
Do you think that my problem is implantation? Or my thyroid? Or my age?
Please help me, thank you.

yes they all could play a part. Thryod antibodies can attach directly to the invading embryo and activate the complment system that can lead to failure. Of course age is always an issue but most times not the ONLY issue so all diagnosis must be consdiered and treated. I am available if you should need me.

Thank you Dr. Braverman, on my second IVF my clinic done a test showing that I had antibodies but they didn't do anything about it and for I understand I should of being medicated to prevent another negative result? I am not happy with them and I am going for a revise consultation on Monday do you think is on my rights to ask them for a refund or help with my next cycle ? Or I just move clinics?
Alao I have being thinking if I should have a reversal sterilisation and let nature take it course, do you think I will have a chance of pregnancy doing that?
thank you.

“I express true gratitude every day for meeting Dr. B”

I worked with Dr. B's office while I cycled in Florida and with our miracle drug Neupogen, we have our little miracle, a baby girl!
“We are so Grateful!”

We came back to Dr. B after he helped us have a beautiful baby boy. We became pregnant again due to Dr. B. He is a genius and we are so grateful he was able to complete our family!
“Dr Braverman helped us achieve our dream of becoming parents.”

I cannot recommend Dr Braverman highly enough, I found him incredibly easy to work with and the distance was never an issue. My son is a true miracle and we are so thankful to Our Medical Team and his amazing team for changing our world.
“For the first time in years I felt progress. I felt my hope increasing.”

I delivered a healthy and beautiful baby boy in Jan 2013. He is ours and he is sooo precious and its all thanks to the positive support and amazing treatment Dr Braverman gave me.

If there is anyone contemplating working with Dr. B out of state, do not feel discouraged, he is more available then most doctors locally.
“He is a wonderful Dr who helped us achieve our dream of having a second child.”

I'm so grateful for my healthy baby girl who came a few weeks early but very healthy. She is a true miracle and I am so thankful to Our Medical Team for making this possible.
