Could High ESR Levels Effect Chances Of Conceiving?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
I have had some blood tests and found that the ESR level is 35 mm/hr. The normal levels are 3-12. So, what does this mean and what is the solution. The reason I have been asked to do theses tests is that I had a miscarriage in Jan 2009, then I had an ectopic pregancy in July 2010 and another miscariage in Jan 2011. We are planning to start our IVF treatment soon ( medications from a couple of days later) and hence wanted to know how the hifh ESR level impacts it and should we wait or go ahead with the IVF treatment?

Hello,
High ESR means there is an infection somewhere in the body. You should investigate yourself for the cause of infection. First treat the cause for high ESR. In my opinion, you should go for IUI for early results after follicular study after taking clomiphene from day 2.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
