Fertility Q&A - Genetics, Blocked Tubes, Mature Eggs, and Fertility Supplements

Dr. Crawford answers your voicemail questions.

Questions answered:

  1. How common is infertility among male carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene? How do I have the conversation with my sons about it?

  2. I am 32, going through IVF, and just found out I have blocked tubes and a hydrosalpinx. My doctor doesn’t recommend surgery and wants to aspirate the fluid before an embryo transfer. Is this the appropriate protocol?

  3. I froze my eggs and am confused by the results. Only 11 of my 17 eggs were frozen due to maturity. 

  4. What are your thoughts on continuing fertility supplements once you get pregnant?
