Fertility Q&A - Periods, Varicocele, PCOS, and More

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. Questions Answered: 1. Not TTC yet. Very heavy periods with clots, PCOS, normal labs and imaging, dismissed by doctors — could this be PCOS or a clotting disorder, and what testing is appropriate? 2. 9 weeks pregnant after 5 early losses and treated Asherman’s — is it safe to continue Lovenox into the second trimester? 3. Low blast rate after IVF with known varicocele — does repairing a varicocele improve IVF outcomes? 4. 25, no period a year after stopping the pill, poor response to Clomid — should I switch to letrozole, and what are my future pregnancy options? 5. PCOS with very high AMH/AFC starting letrozole — is a trigger shot safe, or does it raise OHSS risk?
