Dr. Geoffrey Sher is joining me again, and this time we are going to talk about implantation failure during IVF. Dr. Sher is co-founder of Sher Fertility Solutions (SFS) and an internationally renowned expert in the field of assisted reproductive technology, and influential in the births of more than 17,000 IVF babies. One day I hope that I'll be able to say the same thing about myself. Over the last 30 years, he has helped fashion the entire field of ART after training under the fathers of IVF, Dr. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. He established the first private IVF program in the United States in 1982, then later expanded his practice to include several centers throughout California before founding the first Sher Fertility Solutions in Las Vegas. He's also the author of several books, In Vitro Fertilization: The ART of Making Babies, which is now in its third edition. In this episode, we're talking about implantation failure during IVF. Many times I wonder why embryos do not stick and grow. Dr. Sher is discussing the role of the endometrium, the difference between implantation and miscarriage, and the three factors he considers when advising on treatment for implantation failure. Thank you for joining me, Dr. Sher! Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Today, I'm delighted to be joined on The Egg Whisperer Show by Marc Sherman of Organic Conceptions, a company he founded after a 20-year career in corporate America. The idea came after he and his wife Erin struggled with infertility, decided to adopt, and then unexpectedly found themselves pregnant. Realizing that this phenomenon occurs regularly, they decided to conduct the first-ever research project to better understand the insights, patterns, and commonalities from similar stories. They partnered with Ph.D. Kate Webster and conducted a multi-year study that uncovered 9 key emotional transitions that were common across these stories, and that are required for conception. Their program, The Journey to Parenthood & Beyond, helps couples identify, name, address, and overcome the suffering involved when struggling to conceive, resulting in healthier patients and better outcomes.

Dr. Camran Nezhat is world renowned for his work in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and he specializes in treating people with endometriosis. He is best known for inventing video-assisted endoscopy and was the first to perform groundbreaking advances in minimally invasive surgical procedures that have helped millions of patients around the globe. Without his contributions, we would not have video-assisted laparoscopy as we know it. To say that it's an honor to have him on the show is an understatement! In 2020, Dr. Nezhat was chosen by the AMA as an exceptional innovator whose contributions have revolutionized modern day surgery, and for that work he received the Distinguished Service Award for meritorious service in the science and art of medicine.

Whether you're an egg donor now, if you're considering it, or you know someone that is — I'm glad you're here. Young women are donating eggs at the time they are most fertile, often times not realizing the implications of what that means. I've had patients come to me in their 40s without enough healthy eggs of their own to conceive. When they share with me that they themselves donated their young and healthy eggs in their 20s or 30s, but that none are available for them, I feel frustrated and sad for them. Frustrated enough that I'm doing something about it. Freeze & Share is a program that helps young egg donors save some eggs for themselves should they need them, while helping another family conceive when they can't on their own. Suffice to say, I don't want anyone to look back at their egg donation and wish they'd known more. Here is your chance — I want to give you all the information I have so that you're equipped with the knowledge to make the best decision for your personal situation.

This episode is all about how to survive your HSG. Otherwise known as a hysterosalpingogram. That's a big scary word so let's break it down! Hystero = uterus Salpingo = tube Gram = picture of Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is basically a picture of your fallopian tubes. I prefer a gentle tube test with Exemfoam. I like to think of the fallopian tube as the embryo transport system. It's where the egg and sperm come together and it's how the embryo will travel to the uterus. Part of fertility screening is not just for FSH, estradiol, and AMH for women. It's not just to see how fast the swimmers are swimming. It's also important to make sure that the fallopian tubes are open! It's the "T" in the tushymethod.com In today's episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm talking more about HSG.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/how-to-be-emotionally-resilient-during-fertility-treatment-with-guest-abbe-feder "Is it possible to become emotionally resilient, so that you can handle all of the things that you face as a fertility patient without feeling overwhelmed and triggered constantly?" I get this question all. the. time, and today I'm excited to have Abbe Feder of Incircle Fertility on to share tips, tricks, and mindset shifts with us! Tip 1: Be kind to yourself, and know that things like baby announcements, or nosy questions from family members are triggering to many fertility patients. That doesn't make it easier, but it might help to know you're not alone in the feelings. Some of these triggers can come from unexpected places. Tip 2: To work through triggers: talk about the trigger, acknowledge the trigger, become aware of what triggers you, and then "figure out what works best for you to get past the trigger" when they do come up. Tip 3: Allow yourself to feel your emotions. Don't push them aside. Find a trusted friend, family member, spouse, partner or coach to help you. They don't have to understand what you're going through, the key is that they are able to listen to you and let you talk. Abbe Feder is a fertility coach and the founder and CEO of InCircle Fertility. She and her husband host the podcast Maculate Conception, and she is the creator of the (In)Fertility Cards of Affirmation. We had the pleasure of meeting at a panel with Fertility Rally and I could not be more excited to have her on the show to talk about how to be emotionally resilient during fertility treatment. Today, we're talking about what it means to be a fertility coach, how to find support for your journey, and how to develop more resiliency when facing the ups and downs of being a fertility patient.

What is PGT? In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm sharing all about Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). PGT is a revolutionary test we can use as part of IVF, and it analyzes the genetic makeup of embryos before implantation. This screening helps patients identify genetic abnormalities in embryos, ensuring that only embryos with the correct number of chromosomes and no detectable genetic issues are selected for transfer. PGT can be particularly beneficial for couples with a known history of genetic disorders, recurrent miscarriages, or those undergoing IVF treatment who want to increase their chances for a successful, healthy pregnancy. By testing embryos at this critical early stage, PGT offers hopeful parents a snapshot of their embryos' potential health and viability. While no test is 100% infallible, PGT is a helpful tool. Key Takeaways: - What is PGT? Understanding the basics and the role it plays in IVF. - Who should consider PGT and when is the right time? - The risks and benefits associated with PGT. - Insights into the process of embryo biopsy and genetic testing. - Pro tips on how to navigate PGT and make informed decisions.

Kristin and her husband, Steve, started a non-profit organization in honor of their daughter, London Quinn, who was born still at 39 weeks in July, 2021.

I feel quite privileged to have Kristin share her story, and the story of her daughter London with us. I know you will be moved by what she shares. We will be talking about her diagnosis of stage four endometriosis, how she learned about surrogacy, and how she, her husband and their gestational carrier navigated through the loss of London last year. She will also share additional resources for anyone experiencing loss as a surrogate and intended parent. And, you can learn more about "London is the Reason," and how to get involved. You may know Kristin McQuaid is a choreographer, dancer, designer, creative director, director, and producer. Her work has gone viral on "You Think You Can Dance," and "Dance Moms."

In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, which originally aired on the Fertility Docs Uncensored podcast (hosted by Dr. Abby Eblen, Dr. Susan Hudson, and Dr. Carrie Bedient). Dr. Aimee discusses the significance of checking fallopian tubes as a vital part of fertility evaluations. The panel delves into the various methods used for tubal testing, including what Dr. Aimee likes to call the 'Gentle Tube Test' using ExEm Foam, HSG (hysterosalpingogram), and ultrasound using FemVue.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/fertility-support-everything-you-need-to-know-for-yourself-and-others This episode is all about how to care for yourself, and includes loving tips on how family and friends can support someone in fertility treatment, too. Self-care is anything but selfish. It can come in the form of setting healthy boundaries in relationships, having clear communication or simply giving ourselves a break. As a fertility patient when we prioritize these things it helps us bring forward our best selves for every situation and makes the journey more supportive. In this Egg Whisperer show, I share suggestions for patients and friends and family members of patients to help their fertility journey be one where they feel supported and loved. My hope is that you're able to apply this, no matter your situation, and find your fertility journey is better as a result.

In addition to this innovative approach, Cascade Cryobank is dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of donors. They conduct comprehensive mental health evaluations and offer the most expansive gene panel in the industry. With a fresh and diverse donor catalog and a commitment to transparency, Cascade Cryobank is not only redefining industry norms but also leading the way in fostering open and honest donor-recipient relationships.

The journey and motivations behind founding Cascade Cryobank. Insight into the screening and selection process for sperm donors. Advice for individuals and couples considering sperm donation. The importance of mental health in donor selection. The future of sperm banks and the impact of Cascade Cryobank's innovative approaches.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/pregnancy-after-ivf When you're pregnant after IVF, you're likely beaming with joy while at the same time trying to keep negative, worrisome thoughts in check. If you're like so many of the fertility patients I see, then you may be hyper-aware of your body, emotions and sensitive to the what-ifs of pregnancy after fertility treatment. Now you're pregnant, and yes, you may have dreamed of this moment for quite some time. But it's okay not to love every second of being pregnant. You are not alone! And you do not have to manage these feelings by yourself or with the help of Google (In fact, please make a pact with me right now that you'll do your best to avoid Google). Save yourself the heartache and talk to me, your OBGYN or tune into today's podcast episode where I'm sharing all about what to expect, and how to navigate the first few months of being pregnant after IVF.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/when-it-comes-to-your-fertility-what-is-fact-vs-fiction I know there are a lot of fertility myths out there, and some can be downright perplexing if you're trying to do everything you can to have a successful pregnancy. And, when you've been a fertility doctor for a while, let me tell you, you will hear it all.⁠ ⁠ So in this episode, I'm tackling TWENTY of the most common fertility myths in a little thing I like to call "Fertility: Fact or Fiction."⁠ ⁠ I love talking about these types of things because once you know the truth, you also have a better idea of what may be happening in your own body. I think most people now realize that sperm does in fact matter when you're TTC.⁠ ⁠ But, do you need both of your fallopian tubes?⁠ ⁠ Is marijuana safe when you're TTC?⁠ ⁠ Can someone born without a uterus have a uterine transplant?⁠ ⁠ Is an ovarian cyst something to be concerned about?⁠ ⁠ Of course, these questions matter, and I want everyone to feel comfortable asking their doctor about them (and for answers to the above: no, no, yes, no).⁠ Do you have questions about IVF, and what to expect?

She represents hundreds of Intended Parents, Donors, and Surrogates a year. Additionally, Amanda has personal experience in third party assisted reproduction, having been an egg donor. In today's show we are going to explain what family formation law is. As a fertility patient, it's important that you understand some of the basic legal pieces that you might want to have in place for your journey, whether that be for IVF, or if you're going to be using donor eggs, donor sperm, or using a gestational carrier. I very much love Amanda's thoughtful and caring approach to making family formation law approachable. As she says, "healthy families are formed through honest communication and centering the needs of the future child." Amanda received her J.D. from UCLA law on a Dean's Merit Scholarship in 2012. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern University in 2008.

PCOS is one of the most common and most misunderstood conditions that we treat as reproductive endocrinologists, and this week I'm delighted to be joined on the podcast by Dr. Lucky Sekhon of RMA of New York to talk all about it. PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome, and that name can lead to some confusion. A lot of people think that they probably have cysts in their ovaries. The truth is that all women have multiple cysts (which are really small follicles that house eggs) in their ovaries. Those with PCOS have follicles that look like what we call a "string of pearls" on the periphery of their ovaries, and often have irregular (or no) cycles.

Dr. Meivys Garcia is joining me on the podcast today! She is an amazing Canadian fertility doctor, and she's guiding us through her approach to fertility care when a frozen embryo transfer doesn't work. She will describe every step, one at a time. We will also get personal. Knowing the heartbreak of having failed embryo transfers during her own fertility journey, Dr. Garcia knows all too well what it is like to be a fertility patient. She's going to share her journey and share her wisdom based on her experience as a patient and as a fertility expert. I'm going to be honest and open about this; one of the hardest parts of walking the fertility journey with patients is when we have loss. Whether that be the loss of a pregnancy or the loss of a frozen embryo, it's heart wrenching for me, and for the patient. Today's podcast episode will be about holding space for loss, and how to move on when you've had difficult news. It's about what you can learn from the unfortunate events. It's also about the hope and courage it takes to be a fertility patient, and the admiration that Dr. Garcia and I have for every patient we've worked with.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/supporting-fertility-with-mind-body-strategies-techniques-with-dr-alice-domar As you know, I encourage all fertility patients to support themselves throughout their fertility journey from a mind and body perspective. I'm beyond delighted to have Alice D. Domar, Ph.D back on the podcast to talk about how to support fertility with mind/body strategies and techniques. She is currently the Chief Compassion Officer at Inception, an associate professor in obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology, part-time, at Harvard Medical School, and a senior staff psychologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Dr. Domar established the first ever Mind/Body Center for Women's Health ~ as well as the very first Mind/Body Program for Fertility. She now teaches people strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and distress through relaxation, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and yoga. Research continues to show that mind/body infertility programs not only improves psychological symptoms, but also increases pregnancy rates.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/becoming-a-changemaker-on-your-fertility-journey-with-guest-alex-budak Alex Budak is an author and faculty member at Berkeley Haas School of Business. He recently wrote a book called "Becoming a Changemaker." If there is anything I know about fertility patients it's that you all know a lot about being on a journey that often involves embracing change. You become more resilient, and you follow a "growth" mindset. You cling to hope and you let it lead the way forward. It's no surprise that I would have a social entrepreneur and changemaker on the show. You have a lot in common with what Alex teaches and writes about: "Developing a changemaker mindset often requires holding two seemingly contradictory traits simultaneously: Having a strong personal vision yet being open to collaborating with others. Employing drive and determination to push through barrier after barrier yet knowing when to step back and recharge." Today we're talking about how to become a Changemaker on your fertility journey. Here are three traits he believes a changemaker has: 1. There's always another way 2. Existing at the edges 3. Learned Hopefulness / Learned Optimism You can learn more about Alex and get his book here: https://www.alexbudak.com/ Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/5-novel-treatments-for-pcos PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome. Many people interpret it to mean you have big cysts on your ovaries, but that's not true at all. When I hear PCOS I think of it as a call to, &ldquoPlease Confirm this Ovary Syndrome." So much is misunderstood about PCOS! Women are often told, "oh you don't need to worry about it until you're ready to have babies." That could not be further from the truth.

Today on the Egg Whisperer Show podcast, Dr. Geoffrey Sher joins me again to talk about his approach to care when it comes to IVF. We are discussing how he individualizes IVF protocols to optimize egg and embryo quality, giving his patients the best chance of IVF pregnancy. As he shares, there is no "one size fits all" approach to choosing the best protocol for IVF. It's no surprise that I agree with him. Protocols need to be customized, and are dependent on the woman's age and her ovarian reserve. Tune in as we talk about how to pick a protocol, the role of the trigger shot, the importance of hormones like estrogen and testosterone, and EZ-IVF versus mini IVF.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/saved-by-hope-with-guest-jenny-lowe Today on The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm honored to be joined by Jenny Lowe, the author of "Saved by Hope." Jenny has an amazing story. On her fertility journey, she has gone through IUI, IVF, had ovarian cancer, and later she and her husband used donor eggs to create embryos carried by a surrogate to realize their dream of growing their family. In our interview, Jenny is so transparent about everything she went through. She is open about the challenges she faced in fertility treatment, she explains how IVF saved her life, and she opens up about being nervous about bonding with her child. She talks about how her husband approached the topic of using a donor egg, being a donor conceived person himself. There is so much goodness and hope in our conversation. I know that anyone who has been in fertility treatment, or who has had cancer impact their fertility will be inspired by what she has to share. Thank you for being on the show, Jenny!

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/preparing-for-embryo-transfer On today's podcast episode, I'm talking about preparing for embryo transfer. I find that it's helpful to think about embryo transfer the same way you might think about having a very special guest over for dinner. What are you going to do if you have a very special person over? You're going to make sure everything is absolutely perfect. When it comes to preparing for an embryo transfer, you want to take the same approach. Your metaphorical home in the house analogy is your uterus. The devastation of doing more tests and finding out that something might be wrong that you have to fix is kind of a pain, but the devastation of going through a transfer that doesn't work is also pretty darn awful. Because I work so hard to help families, if I can do anything to prevent someone from not experiencing the devastation of a negative embryo transfer, I'm going to do everything possible to clean up that house and make sure it's perfect. What I recommend is that people do 3 tests before embryo transfer to make sure your uterus is absolutely perfect prior to your embryo transfer.They are: Hysteroscopy Saline Infusion, Sonogram, and Hysterosalpingogram.

She specializes in infertility, preimplantation genetic testing, and preconception genetic counselling. After seeing patients who came from other clinics where access to a genetic counsellor was not available, she saw the negative impact this had on their care. She has since joined Instagram to help provide education on fertility genetics to help bridge this gap. Meaghan is passionate about genetics, and works together with patients so they can feel empowered to make decisions about their fertility treatment that are best for them. I'm delighted to have her join me on the podcast today to discuss mosaic embryos, genetics, and your fertility. We are going to discuss the success rates of transferring mosaic embryos, understanding the different rankings of mosaic embryos, and the misconceptions about mosaics.

See the full show notes: https://draimee.org/is-it-time-to-see-a-fertility-specialist If you're eager to get pregnant and are wondering if it's time to see a fertility specialist, you might be right. There are a number of factors to take into account when deciding whether it's time to see a fertility specialist. Of course there are a lot more details about each of these items in the podcast episode today, but here is a sneak peek of the 6 reason that may be telling you it's time to see a fertility expert: 1. If you're over 35: schedule an appointment if you've been trying for 6 months. 2. If you're over 37: consider seeing a fertility specialist (and not wait before seeking professional advice) to get your TUSHY checked. 3. If you have irregular cycles, make an appointment to see what may be causing that irregularity.. 4. Painful periods. If you think your periods are more painful than average, or you are worried about the pain you're experiencing, you may suffer from endometriosis, which can make it more difficult to get pregnant. A fertility expert can help with a diagnosis and treatment.. 5. Heavy bleeding. If your periods seem especially heavy, this may be a sign that there is something blocking your ability to get pregnant. 6. Male factor or sperm issues. It takes an egg and a sperm to make a baby so if your male partner or sperm donor has a chronic medical problems, is drinking, smoking or partaking in drugs, or is overweight, a fertility specialist can help determine if that is playing a role.
