The Egg Whisperer Show

The last year has been especially challenging for those in fertility treatment. 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.

Starting a fertility treatment to then be told that you're over-responding and can't move forward is so disappointing for fertility patients. And I love that Dr. Blake Evans has done research on this issue for IUI patients and he's joining me on The Egg Whisperer Show to share his research findings and provide guidance for us all and to talk about when you should consider canceling your IUI.

I'm speaking with Dr. Aaron Spitz. He's not only a urologist specializing male sexual function, he's also the author of The Penis Book. I'm delighted that he is able to join us to talk about men's reproductive health. Aaron has an amazing breadth of knowledge about male sexual health and he approaches all of the information with a sense of humor and levity that I know you're going to love. ⁠ ⁠ Get ready for us to dive into questions about what foods to choose for optimal reproductive health, what he means by "sexercise," why porn isn't good for your sex life, and what healthy choices men can make to keep their sex drive in "solid" shape. ⁠ ⁠ If you have a penis or know someone who has a penis, this is the interview for you.

Recently, Kim sent in a question to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She is 44 and has type 2 diabetes. She wants to know if she should continue trying to get pregnant with her own eggs, or consider other options. Here's what she had to say, "I have had 2 normal pregnancies in the past, with the last one 10 years ago. I have a boy and a girl; my husband and I have tried to conceive for the past 4 years naturally without success. We went to a fertility clinic and have done all test possible everything came back good besides that I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with 11.4 A1C and reduced it to 7 in 3 months, my AMH level was 0.25. We have done an IUI cycle last month, and it was unsuccessful, and we are trying IUI for the second time with clomid and obedril shot as the last time. Are we doing the right thing or are we wasting time? I would really like to avoid IVF if possible, plus I would like to use my own eggs if possible. Thank you!"

IVF is a process that involves creating an embryo in a lab. To help explain the process of creating those embryos, I'm joined today by embryologist, Salu Ribeiro. We're are talking about what happens in the lab, after eggs have been retrieved, what makes a "golden egg," and how fertilization works. We'll explain some of the terms you may hear when you're doing IVF: ICSI (which is Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and PICSI (which is physiological ICSI, where sperm are first chosen for ICSI). And, we talk about how embryos grow, and what an embryologist looks for in eggs, sperm, and embryos. I love talking to Salu about embryos, and this conversation is a lot of fun!

Meaghan Doyle is a genetic counsellor at Markham Fertility Centre in Ontario, Canada, specializing 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.

Cheryl sent in a great question to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She is 39. Here's what she asked, "Thank you for your show, Dr. Aimee. I had two IVF cycles, but my egg maturation rate is very low (54%, 10%). My AHM level is 0.67. My doctor did not find any signs of endometriosis, but some signs of adenomyosis. I saw there are four potential reasons for low maturation rates: 1) my age; 2) wrong IVF stimulation protocol; 3) endometriosis; 4) reproductive autoimmune failure. Are there any tests that I can do to figure this out?"

Recently, Eliza sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here's what she asked, "I have chronic endometritis, and I am finding very little on what the correct treatment process looks like. I'm already on a 2nd repeat course of antibiotics after 2nd biopsy still came back positive for CD 138 stromal cells. My MD is suggesting to go straight into a transfer after second round of antibiotics without an additional biopsy. I'm afraid I may have an antibiotic resistant form and am wondering if you ever perform endometrial scarring or D&C to treat it? Would you recommend to have a confirmation that the endometritis is gone before implanting? Also I am already on depot lupron 2nd month for endometriosis. Is it a concern that I will not get a period that would shed the bad cells somehow before a transfer? Would love your input on how you deal with resistant endometritis and implantation outcomes."

I'm so excited to have Dr. Bruce Lessey of ReceptivaDX join me on the podcast. Dr. Lessey has dedicated his research life to studying the lining of the uterus and more specifically, how to help embryos stick better. His research led to the discovery of the role of BCL-6 in the lining of the uterus as a diagnostic test patients can have done by their doctors to guide them toward the best protocol for transfer success. The test isn't for women just going through IVF either. This test can also be done to help women get an endometriosis diagnosis without going through a laparoscopy surgery. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ In addition to being a Fertility Doctor at The Fertility Center of the Carolinas, in Greenville SC, Dr. Lessey is also the scientific advisor for Cicero DX. His work on identifying BLC6 became the key component of the Receptivadx test. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ I'm delighted to have him on the show! Many IVF patients have benefited greatly from the Receptivadx test, and I'm looking forward to asking him a lot of questions about his work. ⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

Recently, Jess sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here is what she had to say, "I'm 41, have been trying for 7 years to have a baby. My husband is 39 and has tested fine, no issues. We've went through two IVF rounds in 2018. My husband and I have tried basically every fertility treatment and have not yet had a baby. I got pregnant out of the blue in 2017 but it ended up being a blighted embryo. I have uterine didelphys (double uterus) with a complete septum and two cervixes. Based on all the tests over the years, low ovarian reserve seems to be the main issue. I've never received a formal diagnosis. It's always been "unexplained".

Recently, Isiuwa sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here is what she had to say, "I am a 42 year old woman who started IVF in 2019 that ended in a failure. I also did an HSG and was told that I have blocked fallopian tubes. I recently experienced my second IVF failure. This second round, I decided to genetically test my embryos (2 euploid and 1 aneuploid/low mosaic). Now that I have 2 failed cycles, I am seeking your advice on what you think I should do differently this time around. I am thinking of requesting the following tests to start with: 1. An ERA and Receptivadx tests. 2. Immunology tests such as thrombophilia and killer cells test. 3. A natural or modified natural cycle. Thanks so much and I await your guidance."

Dr. Zaher Merhi joins Dr. Aimee for this episode of Ask The Egg Whisperers. The first question we take is from Janice, who shares this, "My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past two years. I am 36 and my husband is 43. In January 2020, we decided to get a fertility workup. My uterus was fine, tubes clear and hormone levels normal. Should I continue with high doses of medication or perhaps think of doing mini-IVF? Can high medicated doses affect egg quality? Is there anything you can recommend so that I can increase my chances of getting a normal embryo w/ my next round?"

In this episode, Dr. Aimee is joined by Dr. John Norian. Recently, Emma wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer a question from Wisconsin. Here's what she had to say, "I'm 33. My husband had treatment for a brain tumor four years ago, and his sperm did not come back. Luckily before his treatment, he froze 16 vials of unwashed sperm in the UK (England), where we're from. We had it shipped to Wisconsin, where we live now. We've tried IUI and have not been successful. We're now doing IVF with only five vials left. My question is how many vials do you need for one IVF? How will we know if this sperm is sparkling without losing a vial for testing? My AMH is 1.6. My FSH is 7.3. We want two kids. I wish we had better information about IUI success and had not used so many of our frozen vials on IUI. Now we have only five vials left. How do we make the best chance of achieving our family dreams?" Tune in to hear the answer to this question, and others.

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.

Recently, Renee sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She wanted to know if there is a way to determine egg health, prior to fertilization. Here's her question, "Is there a way to determine the health of my eggs prior to fertilization? I'm trying to conceive naturally. I have five healthy babies, but I had one with a random, non hereditary, genetic deletion. She died at six months old. And as much as I want another child, I'm terrified at the idea of possibly having another child with medical complications. Since I'm 35. Now I see the statistics on down syndrome. It makes me afraid to try for another baby." Tune in to hear the answer to this question, and others.

Dr. Ramy Ghayda is back today for the Fertility Expert Series. He and I are talking all about how men can test, freeze and store sperm. His company, Legacy, is doing really great things, for sperm freezing. And, at the same time you freeze your sperm, you can get an analysis and sperm fragmentation testing. The magic of this service is that it allows men to collect sperm from home, and then send it off to a lab. From there, it can be used for IVF, or it can be frozen and stored for later use.

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. Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

Recently, a 43 year old listener sent in a question about how many embryos (statistically) she would need to freeze to have a significant chance at a live birth. Here's her question, "Statistically, how many embryos (day two or day three) would a 43 year old woman have to freeze to have one live birth? I know that everyone is different, but I'm trying to get a sense of math and attrition rate. I am 43, almost 44. AMH is 0.4. I have DOR and Hashimoto's, and I'm being treated by an endocrinologist and functional doctor because of my DOR. My RE has recommended that we freeze day two embryos. I'm trying to see what I would need to bank to reach a statistically significant chance of having a live birth." You can tune in for my full answer, along with the answer to other questions.

Joyce sent in a great question to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here's what she asked, "Do you think an Estradiol level of 3,800 right before retrieval is too high? Will it affect egg quality?" My short answer: First, an Estradiol level of 3,800 doesn't worry me at all. I would make sure to ask your doctor, "what are my risks of having moderate to severe OHSS and what can I do to not have that?" I would also ask them for an emergency number in case you are feeling crummy and need some help and assistance. You can tune in for more information about OHSS and treatment, and you can also hear the answers to other listener submitted questions.

Recently, Brittany sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She has a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, and wants to know how many rounds of IUI she should do before moving to IVF. Here's her question: "Hi Dr. Aimee! I am a 33 year old woman. My husband is the same age and we have been trying for about two years. I want multiple children. I had a case of PID. My IUD got infected when I was 20. The only diagnosis they have for me (I've been to two different clinics) is unexplained infertility. They say my tubes might be scarred from PID, but the saline histogram showed no abnormalities and perfect openings. Maybe endometriosis runs in my family, maybe it's PCOS. There are no definites on anything. So we've just started our first IUI with Femera, so I'm trying to stay positive. How many rounds should I do before moving on to IVF? And what can you suggest or recommend for my situation? I'm supplementing and exercising, walking with lightweights, doing yoga and trying to remain light and positive, please help." I'm glad that Brittany shared all of this background information. While she's been given this unexplained sort of diagnosis, it feels like there likely is an explanation. Whenever I have a young patient like her (and it sounds like everything else is great: No fibroids, no polyps, good sperm), the tubes in my mind are blocked until proven otherwise. She should talk to her doctor, and he may want to ask for a hysterosalpingogram or a laparoscopy, which give more information than a saline histogram. A couple of other things to consider: Since Brittany had an infection with an IUD, I worry that she could also get an infection from an IUI, which stands for intrauterine insemination. She might consider doing another test to look at her fallopian tubes. I would say because of the infection that she had from the IUD, it's possible that the fallopian tubes might be blocked and IVF is the way to go to build her family.

In this episode, a listener asks about the reasons she did not get any embryos in her latest round of IVF. She is 37, and had 25 eggs retrieved. Here's what she has to say, "What are some of the reasons to get no embryos after a round of IVF? I'm 33 years old and me to 3.7 had 25 eggs retrieved, 10 mature fertilized, but none made it to day five. I'm heartbroken and confused." I agree that this is heart breaking, and confusing. I would recommend speaking to your IVF doctor, and ask why they think why things haven't worked until now. Get all of the information you can about your fertility diagnosis. IVF can give you a lot of great information, so ask your doctor very specifically for all your official reports. You want to know about the information from on the day of egg retrieval. Ask your doctor if there were there any physical characteristics that they saw in your eggs that would lead them to believe that this could possibly happen. Ask if there was there something about the eggs that makes them think that this could be an quality issue. And then also ask, if there something about the sperm that makes them think this could be a sperm quality issue, and lastly ask about the genetic screening that you've done and get those results.

In this episode, Jess writes in to Ask the Egg Whisperer why her period is late. She's getting ready to do IVF and worries that stress might be impacting her cycle. Here's what she asks, "Hi, Dr. Aimee. I've had my baseline scan. It was fine, but my period is now 10 days late. Why? I've taken a pregnancy test and it is negative. Have I scared my period away worrying about starting IVF? How can I get my period to come? It's always so regular that I'm really frustrated. I want to get started. Please help." My short answer for Jess is that if she were my patient, I would make sure that we check baseline levels of Estradiol, Progesterone, FSH, and sometimes HCG as well. We want to see what's going on with your body, and look to see if there is a cyst. There is no need to sit at home and worry. Be sure and check with your doctor.

Recently, Brianna wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer a question. On this episode, Dr. Aimee is joined by Dr. Gayane Ambartsumyan of Reproductive Partners Medical Group. So, Brianna is getting answers from two Egg Whisperers! Here's what Brianna asked, "I'm a medical student, third year, in Chicago. I am 26, and my husband is 31. We stopped using contraception June of 2019. We were not truly trying, but hoping at the same time. I started getting worried in June of 2020 and began tracking BBT, cervical mucus, and LH strips. That's a whole lot of tracking day three! My FSH is 10, AFC is 19, AMH is 2.94 and day 21 progesterone is 10.8. We are starting to get really discouraged. The last four months have been really tough with the time and mental energy is taking a toll on already busy lives. My husband is also a doctor. We are so excited to become parents. And aren't sure if we should explore IVF at this time? What is the best route for our hopeful family? Thank you for being so wonderful and helping educate, uplift, and empower so many women." Our short answer is that Brianna could look at ways to reduce stress. She could also consider completing the TUSHY Method set of tests: a Fallopian tube test, a sperm count, and a genetic or carrier screen.

Recently, Rose from Iran sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here's what her message said, "I'm 36 years old. I've had three miscarriages all at around eight weeks of pregnancy. I've asked for PGD chromosome X testing or PGS testing, because doctors couldn't give that to me in Iran. Do you think I might be a good candidate for IVF?" My short answer is that yes, Rose might want to consider IVF and additional genetic testing. The genetic integrity will tell us that embryo has the ability to turn into a viable pregnancy. And then, the quality of the embryo tells us the implantation potential of that embryo. You can tune in to the episode for my full explanation, and my answers to other listener questions.
