Dr Randy Morris MD-The BOARD CERTIFIED fertility expert with weekly TTC tips on InfertilityTV

Hello this is Dr. Randy Morris. I am a Board Certified Fertility Expert and the Medical Director at the world renowned IVF1 fertility center in Naperville, Illinois. And this is Infertility TV

There are many apps and websites that have calculators that supposedly help women to conceive. But do they help? A new study suggests that most fertility calculators are inaccurate and may actually hurt your chances for getting pregnant.

The concept behind online fertility calculators is simple. A woman typically needs to know the date of her last menstrual period, and the average length of her cycles. The calculator then tells her which days she'll have the best chance of conceiving.

Researchers from Cornell Medical College studied twenty websites and thirty-three apps that were the top results in an online search. The researchers put the same information into each fertility calculator: the same date for the last menstrual period, and an average menstrual cycle length of 28 days.

We know that given those numbers that ovulation is likely to be on day fourteen. Peak fertility would be on days twelve through fourteen. The next best days would be day ten and eleven.

What the researchers found is shocking! Only one website and three apps correctly predicted the peak time for fertility. Several did not even predict the day of ovulation correctly.

Our advice, do not rely on online fertility calculators to help you achieve pregnancy. They might actually have the opposite effect.

Found out dates and medication....it's so many 😔

They called, I had them talk to my husband, negative. 

I then instantly felt terrible for my husband as he was so hopeful... I wished I could take the phone back.  He was so sad.  

I already knew what my body was telling me... he has no physical feeling except what I tell him and then he just still hangs on for hope that I am just being pessimistic. 

After we hugged and cried a bit he kissed me and said “we are a team”  I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

(We work together if anyone is wondering why we were in the same room)  :)

Hey Lovelies,

We did our embryo transfer on March 25th and then went home with the knowledge that I was now PUPO. Mind fuck. Then, all there is to do is wait. So I waited. And waited. And waited some more. My clinic doesn’t test…

Hey Lovelies,

So in the last post about the transferI mentioned being PUPO. This is a term that is bandied about within the infertility community but is not a term that RE offices use and my councilor does not approve of it. It stands for “Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise”. It’s a way to deal with the uncertainty created in the time after…

IVF Cycle: Embryo Transfer Update

IVF Cycle: Embryo Transfer Update

Hello Lovelies,

Embryo transfer was a very cool experience. It was so cool that I said to my therapist a few days later that I actually LIKED the IVF journey. And, without any hint of irony, I think I meant it at that point! It’s just so magical, you get to SEE the living thing that they are going to put back inside you and then you WATCH IT HAPPEN.

Surreal.

Incredible.

AMAZING.

Here’s how it all…

Micro Post: Embryos Or Babies

Click on image to learn more about #MicroblogMondays.

Hey Lovelies,

I want to take a really close look at a dichotomy I experienced during IVF. The idea of when life starts and what constitutes a human baby became very confusing to me this month. Let’s start this by saying that I’m 110% pro-choice, and that I am VERY against any personhood bills that have been put out in the last year. I don’t…
