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. We will be talking about all of this, along with her redesigned mobile app FertiCalmPro (which contains more than 500 solutions to the events and situations most likely to cause distress for anyone experiencing infertility), and her new program with Best Shot. This discussion about the mind/body connection is so very important, because the mental and emotional strain on fertility patients is something that doesn't get enough attention.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/pcos-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-cysts Do you know what I think of PCOS? I think the name should really be "Please Confirm this Ovary Syndrome." I'm telling you, I find that there's no condition that's more misdiagnosed than PCOS. Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I'm talking about PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Did you know that celebrities like Jillian Michaels and Posh Spice both have PCOS? A few PCOS facts: PCOS does not equal infertility. You may have a harder time getting pregnant if you have PCOS, because you may not be ovulating frequently or regularly. It's difficult only because it's hard to know when you're ovulating. When you do ovulate with PCOS, you are likely to ovulate multiple eggs, making you very fertile! Every time you ovulate, you make a cyst of ovulation. Ovulating multiple eggs is what creates multiple cysts, which is where you get the name: Poly (multiple) cystic (cystic). Some symptoms may include: hair loss of the scalp, hirsutism (or hair on your body in areas like the chin, upper abdomen, lower abdomen or back), high testosterone levels, high insulin levels, higher estrogen levels, and higher BMI. You can help manage PCOS by a paleo-like or mediterranean diet, taking birth control pills which can lower testosterone, or other testosterone-lowering drugs, and supplements.
