Dr. Merhi, a renowned fertility doctor and the founder of Rejuvenating Fertility Center (RFC), is dedicated to promoting brand awareness and providing cutting-edge fertility treatments to a targeted audience of women who are trying to conceive but struggling with miscarriages, embryo implantation failure, and chemical pregnancies. With a strong presence on social media platforms such as Instagram (@dr_merhi and @rejuvenatingfertilitycenter), Dr. Merhi aims to connect with women seeking solutions for these emotionally draining fertility issues.
Miscarriages, chemical pregnancies, and failed embryo transfer attempts can be caused by various factors, some of which can be easily fixed. Here are 8 novel protocols to consider following these experiences, that are implemented at RFC:
STEP #1: LOOKING INSIDE THE UTERUS BY A DETAILED HYSTEROSCOPY: This helps detecting and removing scars from pervious surgeries such as D&C, polyp or fibroid removal surgeries. It can also removes a septum (a woman could be born with one) which can lowers the blood flow to the uterus.
STEP #2: PRP (PLATELET-RICH PLASMA) INJECTIONS BY A HYSTEROSCOPY INTO THE LINING : At RFC, PRP injections into the lining by hysteroscopy is utilized to treat thin lining and Asherman’s syndrome. This therapy involves injecting the patient’s own concentrated platelets & plasma to stimulate tissue regeneration (i.e., increase thickness of the lining) and improve stickiness of the lining thus aiming to enhance the chances of implantation.
STEP #3: PRP + HCG WASH INFUSION INTO THE LINING OF THE UTERUS: Infusing PRP and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin which is the pregnancy hormone) into the uterine lining 1 to 3 days before the actual day of the embryo transfer is a strategic method used in assisted reproduction at RFC. This combined therapy aims to optimize endometrial receptivity (i.e., stickiness) by stimulating the natural glue for the embryo.
STEP #4: EMBRYO GLUE: Embryo Glue has the basic composition of a rich embryo culture medium and contains albumin and a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (glue). It helps the embryo stick better to the uterus, increasing the chances of successful implantation. It also prevents displacements of the embryos, reducing the risk of embryos moving out of place during and after embryo transfer.
STEP #5: MODIFIED NATURAL FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) CYCLE: The body estrogen & progesterone could be better than the synthetic estrogen & progesterone supplementation given by most fertility clinics. At RFC, this approach involves inducing the patient’s own ovulation thus triggering her body to produce its own estrogen & progesterone.
STEP #6: ADD-ON MEDICATIONS: Medications such as Viagra (sildenafil) vaginally as well as oral Vitamin E, Tamoxifen, Aspirin, Prednisone, Neupogen, Plaquenil, and Tacrolimus could help provide better uterine environment especially in women with immune disorders such as Hashimoto’s, Lupus, and others.
STEP #7: INTRALIPIDS and IVIG INFUSIONS: Intralipid infusions and IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) are treatments used for fertility issues related to immune system problems. Intralipid infusions deliver a special fat solution intravenously to potentially improve embryo implantation by lowering the woman’s NK (Natural Killer) cells. IVIG uses antibodies from donated blood to suppress immune reactions that might hinder pregnancy.
STEP #8: ENDOMETRIAL RECEPTIVITY ANALYSIS (ERA): The ERA cycle is a test to check if the uterus is ready for embryo implantation during fertility treatments. It involves taking a small sample of the uterine lining to analyze “when is the most receptive day” in the woman’s cycle. This helps fertility doctors time the day of embryo transfer better, thus improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Over the past few years, RFC has focused on integrating cutting-edge technologies into fertility treatments. Dr. Merhi’s team is dedicated to addressing female and male infertility issues by offering new diagnostic tests and treatment options. The RFC care model emphasizes personalized treatment plans and comprehensive support for mental well-being. Exploring the potential of Artificial Intelligence has enabled improved embryo selection and optimized treatment timing.
For anyone seeking advanced fertility treatments and personalized care, RFC is at the forefront of innovative solutions. To learn more about Dr. Merhi and RFC’s services, visit their website at www.rejuvenatingfertility.com and www.rfcbahamas.com
