Can you conceive with one fallopian tube while ovulating on the opposite side? 🧬

If you’ve been told you can’t get pregnant this month because you’re ovulating on the “wrong side”—take a breath. It’s not a dead end. Whether you have a blocked tube or a missing one, your body is more intuitive than a “normal” scan might suggest. You can have a “perfect” scan on one side and still find success on the other.

Dr. Tortoriello, Medical Director of , explains the “Elephant Trunk” effect. Your fallopian tubes aren’t static; they are active and can actually reach across the pelvic fluid to pick up an egg from the opposite o***y.

In reproductive health, proximity matters—but it isn’t everything. Don’t count yourself out just because the anatomy looks “non-optimal” on paper.
Follow for the science-backed “why” behind your fertility journey. ✨

The "Why" Behind Your Diagnosis

A fertility journey is rarely "one size fits all." Conditions like PCOS, Endometriosis, and Male Factor infertility all require a specific, medical roadmap.

We look deep into how these factors—from thyroid health to uterine structures—specifically impact your ability to conceive. Understanding the "Why" behind your diagnosis is the first step toward a protocol that actually works.

Swipe through to learn how these 8 conditions impact fertility:

PCOS: Hormonal "noise" that can stop ovulation.

Endometriosis: Chronic inflammation that can affect egg quality.

Male Factor: Challenges with s***m count, motility, or morphology.

DOR: Lower egg count or quality, often related to age.

Thyroid Disorders: Disruptions to the "metabolic clock" needed for a healthy cycle.

Tubal Factor: Mechanical roadblocks in the fallopian tubes.

Autoimmune: An overactive immune system affecting implantation.

Structural: Fibroids or polyps acting as hurdles to a safe pregnancy.

Follow us to see how we approach complex fertility cases with tailored protocols.

We know the "black goo" from patches or the "weepy" mood swings can be a lot to handle. That’s why we’ve rounded up our best clinical hacks, application tips, and the "Red Flags" to watch for in this guide.

Prolactin is often the "silent culprit" behind irregular cycles and difficulty conceiving. 🧐

While this hormone is essential for milk production during breastfeeding, having high levels at other times can "switch off" ovulation. Made by the pituitary gland, your prolactin levels can be impacted by several factors:

High stress or sleep deprivation

Pituitary disorders or tumors

Medications like antidepressants or antipsychotics

Why we check it: We investigate these levels to troubleshoot ovulation issues and infertility. The good news? If your levels are elevated, it is often very treatable with medication! 💊

Unpopular Opinion: The "wait" is harder than the "work." ☕️

We spend weeks preparing for the meds, the scans, and the midnight alarms. That’s the "Work." But no one truly prepares us for the mental toll of the 36 hours after the trigger shot. The "Wait."

Suddenly, the busy schedule stops, and the silence feels loud. It's the shift from being in total control to having no control at all. If you find the waiting harder than the doing, you aren't alone.

Is it Day 1 of your IVF cycle yet? 🩸 Understanding the "4 PM Rule" is a game-changer for your baseline scheduling and medication timing.

When you’re on an infertility journey, every day counts. But identifying the official start of your period for a can be confusing—especially with early spotting.

The Checklist: > ✅ Day 1 (Full Flow): Requires a pad/tampon. ❌ Spotting: Just a smear/spot. This is NOT Day 1.

Why this matters: Accurate reporting ensures your or starts on the exact right biological window.

Early bleeding can be brown or pink. If you're unsure, track the color and call us! We are here to help you get the protocol exactly right.

Stop stressing about being stressed. 🤍

One of the biggest burdens of a health journey is the pressure to "stay positive" so your treatment works. But here is the truth: your medicine is strong, and your body is resilient. You don’t have to be perfectly zen for your treatment to be effective.

We suggest mind-body practices like gentle stretching or deep breathing not because you "must" do them to get better, but because you deserve to feel a little lighter today.

Remember:

Your treatment is working, even on your most stressful days.

Finding calm helps your body, but it isn't a requirement for medical success.

A few mindful minutes can be enough to reset your day.

You don't need perfection. You just need to be kind to yourself.

TSH levels and your thyroid health play a massive, often hidden role in your fertility journey. 🦋

Your thyroid is like the "master controller" of your metabolism, and when your TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is out of balance, it can directly impact ovulation, cycle regularity, and even implantation.

Why we test TSH for fertility:

Optimizing for pregnancy: While "normal" lab ranges are broad, the ideal TSH for conception is often narrower (typically under 2.5 mIU/L).

Supporting early pregnancy: Proper thyroid function is critical for the baby’s development in the first trimester.

Identifying silent issues: You can have "subclinical" issues with no symptoms that still affect your ability to get pregnant.

The good news? Thyroid imbalances are often very manageable with the right support and medication. 💊

Have you had your TSH checked recently? Let us know in the comments if you’ve ever had a "borderline" result! 👇

Our Story

Many of our fertility patients are working professionals who have very busy schedules. We respect the value of your time and have therefore structured our program to run on a tight time schedule for all appointments in a sincere effort to minimize delays and inconveniences.

Sher Fertility Institute New York also attracts many patients from out of town and out of the country. Whenever possible, we work to coordinate fertility and IVF treatment with our patients’ Ob/Gyns which helps reduce the amount of time spent in our fertility clinic offices. Our protocols and treatment approach have effectively shortened the treatment period – in most cases couples don’t need to spend longer than 8-10 days onsite. Because we understand that New York City is one of the most popular destinations in the world, we have arranged special, discounted accommodations at several of the leading hotels within walking distance of our center.

Sher Fertility Institute’s cutting-edge protocols, unique IVF package plans and outstanding success rates complete the picture as to why we are the logical choice for you to reach your dream of having a baby.
