I have been on the shot for 3 months and am looking to get pregnant. Although I hear nothing but horror stories about the shot. I was wondering if you were to take fertility drugs if it would help speed up the process. If not is there anything I can do, such as home remedies to clean it out of my system. I am finding it rather disappointing that it could take up to a year plus before I can become pregnat. Please help me out. Thanks Paige.

We were one of your patients back in year 2000. After 7 years of marriage and frustrations of not having a baby, a friend of ours told us about you. And thank God with all your help and all your staff we were blessed enough to have a BABY GIRL, and the best thing is that after conceiving her through Artificial Insamination, we were once again blessed with two more girls in a matter of three years.
I still am so thankful, and I am referring a good friend mine to come and see you. Hopefully you can also do your best to help her. Thanks again. Cristina

Good morning Dr. Jain, I have married to my wife for four years and we been trying for six years already. I already have one 19 year old boy but my wife does not have any kids. We went to a fertility center and found out that she had endometriosoes and most of it was removed by the fertility center. And we have tried two times invitro-fertilation but with no results. She produces eggs but once my sperm starts developing inside here and they get to 7 to 8 splits inside the eggs they stop developing. Just to make sure I also had test on my sperm and testicles and everything was ok with me. But my is such a wonderful person and so am I and we would really like to have children especially for her. As an Expert in your field can you answer why does the eggs stop developing in side of her and also the eggs that we leave to get frozen also stop developing?

Hi! Well I’ve been with my husband for 10 years. I have PCOS and have to take provera every month to even have a cycle. I have been treated with Clomid before unsuccesfully. I don’t have the means for IVF, we are struggling pretty bad with the current economy. I am 30 years old and feel the need to have a complete family. Can you help? Every negative pregnancy is like a stab at my heart. Any advice or assistance? Thanks!

[...] If a woman reaches forty years, the quality of her eggs declines. A thirty year old woman can be able to freeze the eggs and use them later. The woman can stay until she finds a good partner who is ready to use the sperm. It is possible for a woman to conceive when she is forty years with a thirty year old egg. These were some of the fertility reproductive issues that were discovered by Dr. John Jain. [...]
