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 podcast, I'm talking about 5 novel treatments for PCOS. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

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 the Executive Director of the Domar Centers for Mind/Body Health and the Director of Integrative Care at Boston IVF. She is an Associate Professor Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology, at Harvard Medical School. 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. Be sure and check out Dr. Domar's books and resources for more information. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Visit Dr. Domar's site to find her books and programs.

I am delighted to have Larkin McPhee joining me today on The Egg Whisperer Show. She is going to bring attention to something that is near and dear to my heart, and that is her new NOVA special, Fighting for Fertility. I have had the pleasure of working with Larkin on Fighting for Fertility, which is about fertility and assisted reproductive technology and its contribution to the remarkable diversity of the modern family. Larkin is a Peabody and Emmy Award winning director, producer, and writer of documentary films. Her films have covered topics ranging from personal finance with Suze Orman to nuclear power to the illness of depression. Meticulous research, outstanding characters, and powerful storytelling make her films extraordinarily compelling. Her skills as a director, writer, and documentarian bring beauty and clarity to any topic. Her documentaries impart a deep knowledge of the subject matter and provide viewers with a blueprint for positive change. Larkin is well known for her intimate sensitive portrayals of people in critically acclaimed films such as Depression: Out of the Shadows, a primetime PBS special on the illness of depression, Dying to Be Thin, a NOVA special on eating disorders, and Children By Design, one hour of an eight-hour PBS series called Secret of Life on the marvels and perils of the genetic revolution.

I'm so excited that Dr. Kevin Osteen is joining me this week for the Egg Whisperer Show. He is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and Adjunct Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Meharry Medical College. Since the 1990s, Dr. Osteen's research program has focused on environmental endocrine disruptors and how they impact endometriosis. His laboratory developed "organ-on-a-chip" technology, which is a tiny plastic "chip" about the size of a USB thumb drive that mimics the workings of the microenvironment of a human organ. Dr. Osteen's team created the first endometrium and endometriosis chip models. These "organ-on-a-chip" models provide a way to test and observe what happens in "normal" endometrium, and in those that have endometriosis. This technology changes the way doctors study this disease. Dr. Osteen and I are talking about the organ-on-a-chip technology, endometriosis, and endocrine disruptors, and reproductive health. I'm excited to have him on the show, and hope you'll join us for this exciting and very timely conversation. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Learn more about Dr. Osteen here.

I'm joined by Dr. Rahi Victory in this episode. Dr. Victory is an OBGYN in Canada, where he has two clinics. I'm excited to have him on the show today to talk about how to become an advocate for yourself, and how to make sure that your care is your doctor's priority.⁠ ⁠ Dr. Victory and I are both very like-minded in the way that we approach patient care: we want you to be an active part of your care and we want you to be a part of our decision making when it comes to deciding on a treatment plan. It's a joy to talk to Dr. Victory about transparency and honesty and how patients can become their own advocates and make sure they get the kind of care they deserve on their journey.⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's websiteVisit Dr. Victory's website.

Regardless of who you see for fertility care, you deserve the best—personalized treatment. I realize that not everyone can come to see me, and I won't be around forever. This information is a valuable resource as you begin your fertility journey, whoever it is with and whenever it takes place. The inspiration behind this topic? Well—it started with some snooping. Several times each day, I hear my receptionist answer the phone and new patients on the other end asking what they can expect at a new patient consult. The mystery is about to be revealed!

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.

Have you ever used Google Maps Have you ever used Google Maps and been redirected midway via a better route? Think about this show as your personalized navigation tool for fertility and IVF, as Dr. Aimee shares the five things you need to know before, during, and after IVF to support yourself. 1. Be clear on why you're considering IVF. Why are you doing IVF? 2. Realize your relationships may change. This is something I ask my patients to think about before, during, and after IVF. 3. Develop a plan for unused embryos. When you're going through IVF this is likely the last thing you want to think or talk about. 4. Know that pregnancy isn't always easy. Developing a support system is important during IVF and fertility treatment. 5. Understand that your feelings may linger. The feelings you had when you had a hard time getting pregnant can sometimes continue during pregnancy, after pregnancy, and beyond. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

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.

Meaghan Doyle is the owner and genetic counselor at DNAide Genetic Counselling. 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.

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.

I use Depot Lupron in my practice quite a bit for patients who have implantation issues, mostly related to endometriosis. We can also use it for women who have fibroid uterus, adenomyosis, as well. Tune in, and I hope you get a chuckle just like I do when I share this stuff with you. Today on the Egg Whisperer Show Podcast, I'm sharing about the 10 things that you need to know to survive Depot Lupron. Think of this as your Depot Lupron survival guide. Here is a sampling of the top 5: 1. The first thing to realize is that you have to be prepared for dryness. I'm talking like communion wafer level of dryness. We're talking about dryness in your vagina. Thank you, Depot Lupron. 2. Practice self care. 3. Mood change can occur with Depot Lupron, so you want to be prepared and be a proactive participant in what's happening. 4. Eat like an adult, not like a garbage disposal teenager. 5. Keep your eye on the prize. As one of my patients says, "My race is not done yet, but I know love conquers all eventually. I'm here for it and I'm going to fight the good fight until I'm done. You can, too. Let's go, girl." Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm really excited to be joined by Dr. Ellen Vora. I feel we are very much alike. She's passionate about easing the real suffering that people experience from anxiety and mental health issues. I can't wait to have her come on and share some new insights about anxiety (it turns out it's not just a "neck up" problem), the difference between "false" anxiety and true anxiety, and how to handle the anxiety that often comes up as a fertility patient. We'll also be talking more about her book, which came out this year, titled "The Anatomy of Anxiety." Dr. Ellen Vora is a holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root. Dr. Vora received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University, and she is board-certified in psychiatry and integrative holistic medicine. She lives in New York City with her husband and daughter. Read the full transcript on Dr. Aimee's Website. Visit Dr. Ellen Vora's site.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Anna Glezer, MD and we are talking all about how to stay in top mental health as a fertility patient. Fertility patients know that treatment feels like being on a roller coaster. It's a time that can be full of optimism and disappointment, and because it can feel isolating, I include "Therapist" in my foundations of building your own Fertility TEAM (Therapist, Eating healthy and Exercise, Acupuncture, Mindfulness and Meditation are the basics). I love that Dr. Glezer explains how to approach the whole picture of mental health: getting support, taking good care of yourself, getting enough sleep, finding someone to talk to, eating well, doing some physical activity, and finding an integrative psychologist to work with if that feels right. As you'll hear her say, "For anyone who's listening, who might be having a little bit of a hard time with their emotional and psychological health: you're not alone. This is really common. And you should absolutely reach out to get the help that you need." Read the full transcript on Dr. Aimee's website. Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Stress and pregnancy go hand in hand. Heck, stress and living life go hand in hand! While some stress is healthy, and actually a helpful motivator to us, too much can send us into a mental (and sometimes physical) tailspin. Dr. Coleman Allen joins me on today's podcast episode Before I get into my top 10 list of things you need to know from the show, I wanted to touch on one of my favorite parts of our discussion. I particularly liked her perspective on something I hear from patients time and again. "I want to get pregnant naturally". Dr. Allen's response was more perfect than any I've heard, and one I hope will bring you peace of mind should this be something you desire, too: "It still takes all of the natural miracles to become pregnant. With fertility treatment, and all it entails you're simply facilitating a natural process to happen. Nobody can force an egg to fertilize or make an embryo grow and divide. Only nature can make an embryo attach." Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Would you like to learn about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Today on The Egg Whisperer podcast, my dear friend Dr. Jenna McCarthy is joining me to talk all about the most common IVF mistakes. Our intent is to share as much information as we can with you so you'll go into an IVF cycle aware, empowered and feeling comfortable with what is going on. We want people to avoid these mistakes and also hear that they're common, they happen, and there's always something you can do if you're dealing with an issue.⠀ We're talking about troubleshooting needle and syringe issues, the importance of not eating or drinking before your egg retrieval, timing of the trigger shot, sperm emergencies, and medication dosage issues and more. We're basically talking about everything we've seen in our combined 20+ years of doing IVF. ⠀ Read the full show notes here.

Dr. Geoffrey Sher is back, and we are going to be covering a very important topic: why do you need to do PGT testing if you're doing IVF (or do you?) Dr. Sher is the co-founder of Sher Fertility Solutions (SFS) and internationally renowned expert in the field of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) and has been influential in the births of over 17,000 IVF babies. Around 2005, Dr. Sher's team published the first paper that showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that if you were able to fully karyotype the embryo cells that a euploid embryo would have an excellent chance. Today there is hardly an IVF program in the world that is not doing PGS/PGT-A to assess embryo viability. Today, we are discussing if PGT is needed for all IVF cycles, the role DOR plays in assessing if PGT is useful, and other maternal chromosomal and genetic abnormalities that may mean you'd want to consider PGT. Plus, he's addressing the concern that some patients have around the possibility that PGT may harm an embryo (short answer: if done correctly it does not).

I love doing "Ask the Egg Whisperer" because you always ask the best questions. Recently, Haley asked about the best lube for someone who has PCOS and is trying to conceive. I especially loved this question because it was so easy to answer: My favorite lube is the Good Clean Love Biogenesis Fertility Lubricant. It's amazing because it is the only TTC lubricant without parabens, and it includes calcium and magnesium ions to support fertility. Plus it feels great and supports sperm health, too. So, no matter if you have PCOS or not - it's the lube I recommend to all of my patients.

Today, I'm excited to be joined by two members of the CryoFuture team: CEO and senior embryologist Sean Pae and Chief Operating Officer, Ginger Huang. CryoFuture is a cryogenic lab that stores frozen eggs and embryos in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we're talking basics here: how a cryo facility works, security considerations, and how their lab makes sure that there are no mixups. I know that many of my patients have a lot of questions about how embryos, eggs, and sperm are stored, and their safety, so we're playing a quick game of "safe or not safe." (spoiler because I don't want to stress anyone out who is trusting a cryobank with their own precious cargo: they'll be safe.) You'll hear us talk about floods, fire, earthquakes, and how specimens will be safe in the case of a car accident while being transported. You can tune in to learn more about the measures that CryoFuture takes to ensure safety, and how they monitor your cargo in transport. It's a fascinating look behind the scenes of how they handle things! Thank you so much for joining me, Sean and Ginger!

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.

I'm honored to have them joining me to talk about "Rescripting" fertility prescriptions and the community they have created at Rescripted. In our discussion, you'll hear how sex ed is broken (we need to be teaching so much more than putting a condom on a banana), how 40% of women don't know what ovulation is, and all about their inspiring passion to change the way people learn and talk about fertility and reproduction. Here's what Abby has to say: "We went with the name re-scripted because we're going to create something new together. For us it was all about going back to basics. We cover fertility and pregnancy loss, and our future is really exciting. As we write, as we record videos, as we record podcasts, as we continue to put out media.... women really need answers as it relates to their reproductive, hormonal, and sexual health and wellness. So that is us, and that's what we're proud to cover." Thank you for joining me, Abby and Kristyn! I love what you're doing, and so excited to share this conversation.

I am so excited to have Dr. Stephanie Fein joining me today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast. We are talking about a topic that can be quite sensitive: optimizing your fertility through weight loss. There's no better person to talk about this today than Stephanie. She earned her medical degree from UC Irvine, completed her internal medicine residency at UCLA where she also received a master's in public health. She's passionate about weight loss and motherhood and loves to help women optimize their fertility through weight loss. She's sharing her philosophy and perspective on weight loss and fertility, which is to make it guilt-free, deprivation-free, and frustration-free. She is also sharing how weight, insulin and inflammation have an impact on your hormones when you are trying to conceive, and we talk about the connection between IVF success rates and weight loss.

Today on the podcast, I'm delighted to be speaking to Dr. Lucky Sekhon, or as many of her patients call her, Dr. Lucky. She is a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York, a large New York City based IVF center. She was born and raised in Toronto, Canada and moved to NYC to complete her OB/GYN residency training. We're going to be talking about genetic testing & fertility, and everything you need to know before trying to conceive. Genetic testing can sound kind of intimidating to people, and it shouldn't be! Genetics play a huge role in our fertility, and like I always say, "the more you know, the better things will go." Dr. Lucky is here to tell us more about it. I feel lucky ;-) to have her on the show, and so honored that she's here to share her wisdom with us. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's Website.

Dr. Geoffrey Sher is back, and we are talking about Intrauterine Insemination, or IUI. In 1982, Dr. Sher and his colleagues were the first to wash sperm, and then put it through a centrifuge process. After an incubation period, they used a catheter to inject the sperm into the uterine cavity of a patient. He's a true pioneer, and this was the first time IUI had been done!. I know you will enjoy learning more about IUI from him. We're sharing about how IUI works, and why it's recommended for some patients. We also discuss the differences between IUI and IVF, and when you might pick one over the other. Read the whole show notes on my website.
