Fertility WOMAN, IVF and ICSIBy Darja WagnerApril 2, 2021Leave a comment

Aspirin and heparin to help implantation: Yes or No?   The moment a woman has one or two unsuccessful series of  IVF behind her, she becomes ready to do anything, really anything to make the next IVF cycle work. Many of the women I talk to have a long history of fertility treatments, so the…

Is PGS worth it? Probably not, and here is why There are people in this world such as fertility specialists on CHR (Center for Human Reproduction in New York) who are true magicians in making women pregnant and who really understand the issues surrounding low ovarian reserve or bad egg quality in women over forty.…

Do you know your AMH and FSH levels?

Fertility WOMAN, IVF and ICSIBy Darja WagnerFebruary 25, 2021Leave a comment

Do you know your AMH and FSH levels? My best friend is thirty-nine and is still postponing having a baby. We have discussed all kinds of fertility topics for years – from egg freezing, to low ovarian reserve, tracking ovulation etc., and still she would not even go to a doctor to find out about…

What is the value of a human egg? How much would you pay to your egg donor? Thousands of babies are being born each year as a result of egg donation.

Why are women advised egg donation earlier in the US than in Europe?

Fertility WOMAN, IVF and ICSIBy Darja WagnerJanuary 15, 2021Leave a comment

Why are women advised egg donation earlier in the US than in Europe? I often get emails from women around the world asking me when I think is the right point to enter an egg donation program. One would think that there should be a clear consensus on this in the medical community, right? Not…

Why antral follicle count is a number you need to know Antral follicle count is a reliable readout of how active your ovaries are. Together with AMH and FSH, antral follicle counts adds a precious information to what exactly the time is on your personal biological clock and how many eggs you have left. You can then build…

Blond hair, blue eyes? A fertility doctor explains what couples look for in an egg donor Deciding to pursue egg donation is a very difficult decision to make.

What REALLY happens when egg fuses with sperm cell

Fertility WOMAN, IVF and ICSIBy Darja WagnerMay 29, 2016

What REALLY happens when egg fuses with sperm cell Honestly, I never really wondered what exactly happens in a moment when egg and sperm unite.

Five over-35-fertility-news items I thought you may like to hear about

Fertility WOMAN, IVF and ICSIBy Darja WagnerMay 9, 2016

Five over-35-fertility-news items I thought you may like to hear about Sometimes I love to tell long stories and take a lot of time to research one single topic.
