Dr. Natalie Crawford answers voicemail questions about TTC and fertility.
Questions Answered:
If you do a frozen embryo transfer and get pregnant, and you continue tracking your basal body temperature, if you have a large decrease in your basal body temperature, does that mean anything? And should you just stop tracking at all after you do have success and get pregnant with your basal body temperature to decrease any anxiety?
Could working overnight and day shifts as a nurse impact my trying to conceive journey?
When should I be talking to my doctor about my light periods after stopping birth control? What pre-screenings could my husband or I do?
I usually have cycles that range from 45 to 48 days. I've been tracking my ovulation at home, and it seems I'm ovulating around day 33. Should I be concerned about this cycle length?
I've been trying to conceive for about 10-11 months. Everything is good on my end and my husband's end. They recently prescribed me Letrozole and said I can do timed intercourse with that, or I could do an IUI this cycle. What would you recommend?
