ADVICE

Support Early Pregnancy With Progesterone

  • Supplement progesterone when indicated to support implantation and early pregnancy, especially in IVF. In IVF without progesterone support, success rates fall significantly.
INSIGHT

Most Miscarriages Are Chromosomal

  • The most common cause of miscarriage is random chromosomal errors, not parental actions. Recurrent pregnancy loss panels find a cause in only about 50% of cases.
ADVICE

Avoid Alcohol While Trying To Conceive

  • Avoid alcohol when trying to conceive and in pregnancy; professional societies advise no safe level. Men can improve sperm quality within 3 months by stopping alcohol and optimizing lifestyle.
