The Egg Whisperer Show

There's no better week to talk about about sex, love, and relationships, and no one knows more about these topics than my friend, Dr. Renée Hilliard. She's joining me on the podcast today.. Dr. Hilliard is an OBGYN and Sexual Medicine Expert. She runs the popular "Seriously Sexy" program. She teaches people how to slow down and enjoy sex. We're going to talk about relationships, communication, desire, and how all of it relates to your fertility.

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 (pre COVID, of course). 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 Hysterosalpingogram Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

On the podcast today, I'm answering a question from Vicky who wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She wants to know "How much caffeine is ok for the 90 days pre IVF, during stim and after embryo transfer?" I get a lot of questions about how much caffeine is OK during IVF, and when patients are pregnant. It's my opinion that in the three months before IVF, drinking coffee is not going to hurt your fertility. However, this is a situation where it's best to go by the saying "everything in moderation." When it comes to caffeine during stim, I actually sometimes recommend that my patients consider drinking coffee. Why? The meds can make you feel super sleepy when that estrogen fog rolls in. Those same medications can also make you constipated, and a little bit of caffeine can certainly help with the problems of constipation too. After embryo transfer, same thing: those meds just make you feel so sleepy, and sometimes you need a little bit of a pick-me-up. However, once you're pregnant, coffee can make your heart race. It might make it harder for you to sleep, and cause insomnia, and that can be super irritating. So be careful if you're someone who feels a little anxious. You may want to consider limiting your intake. That said - "One to two cups per day don't drive an embryo away."

Today on the Egg Whisperer Show podcast, the first question I answer is from Ashley. She asked one of the most commonly asked questions that I get from my patients: "We did our first frozen embryo transfer last week and I just had my second positive beta test! We haven't had sex since before the transfer, what do you think about waiting until after the heartbeat or even until after the first trimester to resume having sex? Thanks so much! Love your show :)" So, most people don't talk about this very much, but when you're pregnant sometimes you feel a little bit more sexual than when you're not pregnant. This doesn't happen to everybody. But there are people that actually call me panicking about it. Feeling more sexual can also be really, really normal in pregnancy. So, certainly talk to your doctor to make sure they recommend the same thing. My show is about education and information. What I tell my patients is this: You can have sex up until the embryo transfer day. After the embryo transfer, I recommend having sex after your pregnancy test. Around eight days post transfer with really strong levels, then you can be sexual. And believe it or not, this is probably one of the most commonly asked questions of fertility doctors.

On today's episode, I'm sharing a recent Ask the Egg Whisperer session. In it, Aura wrote in to ask about menopause. She shares this, "I'm 36 years old and my period stopped in January of last year. Is it possible that I have started menopause? I really would like to have another child. What's your advice?" It is so hard to be in this kind of situation. You're not sure what is going on, and your period hasn't come for over a year. So what I would say is, "test don't guess." My recommendation would be to get your levels checked. See what your AMH level is. You don't have to wait for cycle day three to get your levels checked. Since your period hasn't started, you can do this any day of the week. Also check FSH, estradiol and progesterone too. These levels will provide answers. And the answer may not necessarily be what you were hoping to learn. The information will guide you toward what you should be considering next. To submit your own question to Dr. Aimee for a future episode of Ask The Egg Whisperer, click here.

Dr. Blake Evans has joined me a couple of times over the past weeks to talk about COVID19 and fertility. He recently published a paper entitled "COVID-19 vaccine and infertility: baseless claims and unfounded social media panic." I know that many fertility physicians have had patients call their offices because there have been rumors on social media about false claims that the COVID vaccine is unsafe for women trying to conceive and already pregnant. These claims are untrue. The vaccine is safe in pregnancy. It does not cause infertility, and it does not cause miscarriages. And because education and empowering you with the best information out there is part of my mission, I want to keep talking about this topic so that fertility patients can make informed decisions about getting the vaccine. Today on the podcast, I'm airing a second conversation I had with Dr. Blake Evans about the paper, and about what he and his co-authors found to be true about the COVID 19 vaccine and fertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding. The paper was published in "Fertility and Sterility" and is backed by ASRM (American Society for Reproductive Medicine). I hope you'll tune in and share with your friends and family. Here is a direct quote from the paper: COVID-19 vaccine truths for patients desiring conception or who are pregnant include: Available data indicate that COVID-19 vaccines do not cause infertility in women or men. In the randomized blinded Pfizer-BioNTech trial, a similar number of women conceived after receiving the vaccine as those who received the placebo. The coronavirus's spike protein and syncytin-1 (protein that mediates placental cell fusion) share small stretches of the same genetic code but are otherwise completely different in structure. The vaccine does not induce an immune reaction against the syncytin-1 placental protein. mRNA vaccines are taken up rapidly by muscle cells at the injection site and the mRNA is degraded in the cell once the protein is made so it does not cross the placenta. COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for women who are contemplating pregnancy or who are pregnant in order to minimize risks to themselves and their pregnancy. This offers reassuring information based on what they have found to be true about the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. You should speak to your own doctor about getting the vaccine if you have any concerns or questions and make a decision based on what is right for you.

On the podcast today, I'm answering a question from Diana who wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She has diminished ovarian reserve and wanted to know what she should do to have 2 children. Diminished ovarian reserve is a diagnosis often related to age, where the ovaries have a diminished supply of eggs. Here's what she had to say," Just got diagnosed with DOR (amh 0.37 and 8 follicles) and a large fibroid (9cm, asymptomatic until recently which is why I booked my appt) and trying to figure out next steps. How would you advise to proceed, as I was not able to find that much info about this (dor + fibroid). How many cycles do you think I would need for 2 live births?" I'm going to assume that Diana is about 37 years old (the average age of patients I see), and here's what I have to say: Knowing that you have eight follicles with a nine centimeter fibroid, I would say this let's take things in stages. Stage one is the diagnosis phase. It's important to take supplements to support your egg quality. We know another part of the diagnosis is the fibroid. Stage two: Create an IVF plan that is based on your diagnosis. I'd focus on creating embryos and freezing them. And if you're a patient of mine, we would talk about something called PGT-A, I know this sounds like an alphabet soup of fertility, but it stands for pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy. Stage three: We would then plan your embryo transfer. That would include a myomectomy to remove your fibroid. We don't want that fibroid to compete with the growing embryo or pregnancy. Leaving it puts you at higher risk of having preterm labor and preterm delivery. Talk to your doctor about the IVF protocol they're going to use for you. Talk to them about how many cycles they think that they're going to need to do for you to reach your family size goals, and then go for it. And before you do surgery, make sure you're seeing a surgeon for that fibroid that is super excited to make your uterus as strong as possible to carry a pregnancy. If you want to hear everything I have to say about Diana's question, tune in today's podcast episode at the link in my profile. It's episode #302 and titled, "I was just diagnosed with DOR (depleted ovarian reserve). How many IVF cycles do I need to do to have 2 children?"

There is truly no greater gift than giving someone the gift of love and life. When I read this question recently, on Ask The Egg Whisperer, my heart skipped a beat. Oleha wrote in to ask about how she could be a great gestational carrier for her sister. Here's what she wrote: "How can I make sure I am a great surrogate carrier for my 33 y/o sister and her husband? I am a 36-year-old mother of two (both uncomplicated pregnancies, but both required cesarean deliveries). I have been offering to be a gestational carrier for my sister since she survived a terrible car accident as a teenager. This summer I again offered to be a gestational carrier for her and her husband and they accepted! We have completed our psych evaluations and will soon begin the medical bit (sperm and egg collection, embryo creation, and PGA testing). We are hoping to transfer one lucky embryo February or March. What should I be doing now to help ensure a smooth transfer and a viable pregnancy? Thank you!" Here's what I shared on this episode: Oleha, your sister is so lucky to have you as a huge support person for her. What you're doing (for those of you who don't know) is called compassionate surrogacy. That's when you work with a family member to help you grow your family. You're literally giving your sister the gift of life. So I can't imagine anything more rewarding that you can give your sister. To answer your question, as far as what things you can do to give yourself the highest chance of a successful transfer, I would say number one: Look at your lifestyle and make sure you're as healthy as possible. I'm sure you're already doing this but start your prenatals now. I imagine your doctor already did a preconception panel, looking at things like vitamin D for example, your thyroid, and that they've probably looked to make sure that all your levels are optimized. Be sure you're getting plenty of sleep. If you want to be really picky, you can look at the environmental toxins in your life and see what you can do to reduce exposure. Make sure that your doctor also has on their checklist: doing a saline infusion sonogram. And then at the end of the day, when you know you've done all that you can, you've just got to say "let it go." It's also a great time to find a therapist who can support you, as you support your sister and her husband. At the end of the day, you're dealing with your sister's biology and DNA. And we know that when we're using someone else's DNA, things may not necessarily work out the first time. And that's just part of being human. I imagine that you and your sister already have a super tight bond and if an embryo didn't implant, you guys will get through it just like you've gotten through everything else in your life together. I would recommend having a heart to heart with her about how you're going to handle bad news so that it doesn't affect your strong bond. that I think does having that heart to heart with her about how you're going to handle different results and how that's going to make you feel and to make sure that it's not going to affect your relationship. There are also some other things that I recommend for anyone embarking on the compassionate surrogacy path, and I share the rest of those thoughts on the podcast episode, today. You can find the link in my profile. Be sure and look for episode #301 with the title "How can I be a great surrogate for my sister?"

There's so much to learn from each other, and I love that Melissa shared this question with us recently on an episode of Ask The Egg Whisperer. "I got pregnant pretty fast 3 times between 2018-2019 and they all miscarried at 5 weeks. I found out I had 2 fibroids 1.6 centimeters in my uterine cavity, and got them removed. I'm 35 and I haven't been able to get pregnant since my surgery. Were the fibroids the real reason for my loss? Why can't I get pregnant as fast as before?" Thank you for bringing this up, Melissa. This is why I created the TUSHY Method, to give people a way to remember the five things to look into when they are having difficulty trying to conceive. This is what I'd suggest in figuring out your fertility diagnosis. U: Uterus: Based on your fibroids, we will then have an idea of what is going on with your uterus. Consider a saline infusion sonogram to look for scar tissue in the cavity. T: Fallopian Tubes: What else is happening? It's important to consider your fallopian tubes and whether scar tissue is present. S: Sperm: Do a test (like meetfellow.com) to check how fast they're swimming. H: Hormones: Get your FSH, and Estradiol on cycle day three, along with your AMH level. This gives us an idea as to what's going on with your eggs. Y: Is Your genetic profile. Talk to your doc about the genetic tests they offer. In my answer (Melissa's is the first question I answer in the episode), I also walk through the ANGEL Workup, which are the steps I recommend for anyone who has had a miscarriage. I hope this information helps Melissa get to the family that she deserves. If you want to tune in to the whole episode of "Ask the Egg Whisperer" you can find the link in my profile.

Recently, Dr. Blake Evans and his colleagues released a paper entitled "COVID-19 vaccine and infertility: baseless claims and unfounded social media panic." The paper discusses some of the rumors that have been hitting social media about false claims that the COVID vaccine is unsafe for women. The vaccine is safe in pregnancy. It does not cause infertility, and it does not cause miscarriages - both things are rumors that have been circulating. I'm excited that I got to speak with Dr. Blake Evans last week, and I'm airing our conversation today on the podcast (it's also up on YouTube and on IGTV). In it, Dr. Evans shares the most accurate information about the COVID 19 vaccine and fertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding. The paper was published in "Sterility and Fertility" and is backed by ASRM (American Society for Reproductive Medicine). Here is a direct quote from the paper: COVID-19 vaccine truths for patients desiring conception or who are pregnant include: • Available data indicate that COVID-19 vaccines do not cause infertility in women or men. • In the randomized blinded Pfizer-BioNTech trial, a similar number of women conceived after receiving the vaccine as those who received the placebo. • The coronavirus's spike protein and syncytin-1 (protein that mediates placental cell fusion) share small stretches of the same genetic code but are otherwise completely different in structure.

These findings offer reassuring information based on what they have found to be true about the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. Of course, You should always speak to your own doctor about getting the vaccine if you have any concerns or questions and make a decision based on what is right for you.

If you're hoping to get pregnant at some point, a question on your mind may be, "how old is too old to have a baby?" It's a question I get all of the time, and so I want to shed some light on factors to consider when it comes to age and your fertility. One of the things you'll want to look at is your Chronological Age versus your Biological Age. One will tell you the age of your eggs based on how long you've been on the planet (chronological), and one will give a sense of the age of your eggs based on your age, genetics, and environmental factors (biological). Some women's eggs age faster or slower than others, and you can determine that by getting your hormones checked (the "H" of the TUSHY method). Visit TUSHYMethod.com for more information. In this episode, I am also sharing what I like to call my Egg Whisperer pearls of wisdom, which are six things you should be aware of about your fertility and how they change over time.

In today's podcast episode, the first question is from Elena. She shares, "I had an endometriosis removing surgery in June of 2019, and I didn't get pregnant. Then we started IVF. With a long protocol and I got 12 eggs, but only two of them made it to a blastocyst. I was overstimulated and we scheduled the transfer for December 1st. I also had elevated natural killer cells which were treated with cortisone. Now I got a negative pregnancy test. What would you do next? How can I help to improve my egg quality?" Here are my thoughts for Elena. Endometriosis can decrease egg quality,the number of mature eggs in an IVF cycle, reduce implantation potential and cause tubal issues. I would have you take supplements like: coq10 and N-Acetyl Cysteine. Since you had 12 eggs and two of them made it to blast, there's hope! Hope means to "Have Only Practical and Positive Expectations." This means being realistic, while keeping hope in your heart.

In this episode of Ask the Egg Whisperer, I take a question from Jamie. She writes, "Hi Dr. Aimee! I just turned 40 in October and had a miscarriage in November. I am starting IVF to get pregnant again more quickly due to my age and the length of time it usually takes me to get pregnant. Is it worth focusing on completing more than 1 cycle (say up to 3) if I only get 1 normal embryo from my first cycle? And then, focus on transfers with what I have? I am worried about transfers taking time due to failed transfers and/or miscarriage and losing more ovarian reserve due to time lost. I am awaiting the results of my AMH test. I am optimistic since I was just pregnant, however I know that age 40 is the beginning of a steep decline in fertility and every month counts." And here's what I would focus on, for Jamie and others in similar situations: What is your diagnosis? This is the first part of the Egg Whisperer DIET. Be sure and work through the TUSHY Method and speak to your doctor about completing those tests if you don't have a diagnosis. (The full explanation is at TUSHYMethod.com) The I of the diet is IVF and after your embryos are created you want to make sure you understand all the parts of embryo DIAMONDS. The other thing is preparing for your embryo transfer (This is the E of the egg whisperer diEt). This is what I refer to as endometrial testing or embryo transfer preparation. Sit down with your doctor and ask, "what is the likelihood that the embryo is going to implant? Should I try to do bank more?" I do think that it does make sense to consider more than one cycle before you complete the DIET. T = Transfer!

Today one of the 20 Ask the Egg Whisperer questions I'm answering comes from Helen, who asks if she should move on to donor eggs after having one failed IVF. She is 45. My short answer for Helen focuses on two things: The likelihood of being able to find a good egg at 45 is maybe 2% to 3%. A 45 yo may still have a healthy egg left. It is possible but chances are low. When I have a patient in a similar spot to Helen, I share this: If you're going to live the rest of your life wondering what might happen if you didn't do just one more cycle, you should give it a try. However, if you're ready to move towards something that's going to give you a much higher chance of pregnancy, my suggestion is to move on to donor eggs.

I started throwing Egg Freezing parties as a fun way for people to learn about fertility. There is humor. There is honest talk. Mostly, I throw them because I want every person to be empowered with knowledge about their fertility. It's really as simple. Egg Freezing parties are safe and surgery-free gatherings of women (and sometimes men) to learn more about the process of freezing your eggs (or sperm). Beyond that, we talk in general about fertility and how every woman (and man) can take a proactive role in preserving theirs.

In today's Ask The Egg Whisperer podcast episode, Fernanda asks a question about endometriosis: "Can surgery help determine if I have endometriosis? We have been trying to conceive for over 5 years now. Everything seems to be fine with us both, the only thing left for us to do is for me to have surgery to check for endometriosis. Is this something that you would recommend? Thank you so much!" I love Fernanda's question. Yes! Patients with endometriosis may benefit from surgery. But first, go back and double check that she's taken a look at everything I cover in a TUSHY check. She says she's been trying for over five years, so here's what I'd recommend before surgery: Check your tubes and do an ultrasound of the uterus and find out your follicle count. Make sure that there's no anatomic abnormalities: polyps, fibroids, or septum. Look at the sperm quality again, maybe do a sperm DNA fragmentation test. Look at all your preconception labs, including hormones, not just the FSH, estradiol, and AMH, but also thyroid vitamin D and prolactin. Last but not least, make sure you've done enough genetic screening: chromosome analysis and carrier screens.. If you want to hear my full answer to Fernanda's question, you can tune into episode 292 on the podcast, and go to the 10 minute mark. And, you'll also hear my answer to 20 more questions, all sent in by listeners. To submit your own question to Dr. Aimee for a future episode of Ask The Egg Whisperer, click here.

Ask the Egg Whisperer is one of my favorite shows to do. I love hearing from you! In a recent episode, Nina wrote in to ask about low sperm morphology and how to improve it. Here's what I had to say: Do another semen analysis first. You can go to meetfellow.com/eggwhisperer to do one from the comfort of your home. If the morphology is still low, do a sperm DNA fragmentation test. I would suggest getting to a urologist to check "under the hood" and see if there's a varicocele. Check his testosterone and look at his lifestyle and supplement list. Easy way to get his testosterone checked? http://trylgc.com/ballsmethod. And a cool test to assess sperm vs chronological age is: pathfertility.com/eggwhisperer Taking sperm friendly supplements like CoQ10, vitamin D and ConceptionXR from Theralogix. Use PRC code TUSHY for all their products. You can hear her question, and my answer, around the 16 minute mark from episode 291.

I'm excited to be joined by Nora DeBora from Naturally Nora in today's interview. She has over six years of coaching experience in education and holistic nutrition, movement and mindfulness. She has created a holistic approach and practice around preconception planning and that she is going to share that with us today on the podcast in this fertility expert Q&A series episode. As a holistic nutritionist, Nora recommends she shares that you are what you eat, and you're also what you assimilate, and what you digest. To reach optimal health she recommends that you: Remove inflammatory foods from your daily diets Replace those foods with nutrient dense fertility foods that nourish the body Repair the gut so that you can absorb nutrients and digest nutrients Rebalance your hormones by eating in support of your menstrual cycle Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

Today, I'm delighted to be joined by Nora DeBora of Naturally Nora on The Egg Whisperer Show. With over 6 years of coaching experience and education in holistic nutrition, movement and mindfulness, she has created a holistic practice around Preconception Planning that she's going to share with us. Tune in as we talk about how you can get into the best mindset for pregnancy, holistic nutrition strategies to prepare for pregnancy, and how to set up your environment to be as healthy and toxic free as possible. Some of her great tips include: Develop a daily meditation practice to help reduce stress. Stress feeds cortisol, which can impact fertility. Get in shape and reduce BMI when trying to conceive to lessen the possibility of hypertension, gestational diabetes, or blood clots. Getting in tune with your menstrual cycle, and nourishing yourself through the full cycle, and noticing energy levels each week. Limiting exposure to to Xenoestrogens which are endocrine disruptors and can be found in makeup, personal products, plastics, food, building supplies, and insecticides.

Recurrent pregnancy loss is heartbreaking and is the reason why I went to fertility medicine. Lauren shared her journey with us by asking this question at AskTheEggWhisperer.com: "Can antibiotics for endometritis help with recurrent miscarriage? I've been going through recurrent pregnancy loss, and have been going through testing to figure out a cause. We came up with a diagnosis of endometritis and I went through a round of antibiotics. Are there essential lifestyle changes I should also be making to lower my risk of yet another miscarriage? Could it really be as simple as a few weeks of antibiotics?" Tune in to hear my answer, and the answers to over 20 other questions (all from listeners and followers!).

Emily submitted a great question to AskTheEggWhisperer.com: "What can I do to thicken my uterine lining? (I'm 37 and we've been TTC for over 6 months. Obgyn wanted me to try progesterone before going to specialist. My issue is a thin lining of 5mm. What can help my lining?" My answer to her was: Let's start by asking your doctor if Asherman's syndrome has been ruled out. An HSG, saline sonogram and hysteroscopy can all help make this diagnosis and ultimately may help treat it too. You can also add medications and supplements like: estrogen, aspirin, l-arginine and vitamin E that may help. And get your TUSHY checked as well! #TUSHYMethod includes the 5 fertility tests you should do. To hear the answer to 20+ other questions, tune in!

In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing one of the past Ask The Egg Whisperer episodes. Sabah wrote in to ask about seed cycling, which is the practice of eating specific seeds at certain points in your menstrual cycle to help promote the healthy balance of estrogen and progesterone to regulate cycles, increase fertility, and ease PMS symptoms and other symptoms as a result of hormonal imbalances. Here's what she has to say, "Hi Dr Aimee does seed cycling actually work ? My cycles are currently 40 days with no known fertility issues just yet. Could seed cycling help with bringing my cycles back to 32 to 35 days as they were last year?" To submit your own question to Dr. Aimee for a future episode of Ask The Egg Whisperer, click here.

When a couple has a diagnosis of male factor infertility, it's important to know what to do and it's all part of my #BallsMethod. I love that Stephanie wrote in to "Ask the Egg Whisperer" to see if there was anything else she should consider. Here's what she says, "My husband has male factor infertility, everything seems fine on my end. We did IUI for the first time this month and it failed, I was on letrozole 2.5mg 2x/day CD3-CD7. They didn't measure my follicles or check my progesterone because they said I have a normal period and show no issues ovulating. Should I ask to have these checked for the next IUI round even though they say things are normal on my end? Last blood work and HSG was done was over a year ago."

Dr. Mira Aubuchon joins The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about PCOS. The facts: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome could make it more difficult for women to get pregnant. Contrary to its name, having PCOS doesn't mean your ovaries have cysts. It means your ovaries have a high number of follicles (tiny "cysts") containing eggs that are often unable to mature due to a hormone imbalance.⠀⁠ ⠀⁠ Symptoms of the condition include irregular or absent periods, high testosterone, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and acne. I call it HOPE Syndrome. H is for High testosterone. O is for Ovaries with a lot of follicles. P is for Periods that are irregular. E is for eating + exercise habits that you need to develop early on. ⁠ PCOS definitely has its challenges, but, having it does not mean you'll never have children or that your eggs cannot produce a healthy, beautiful baby. Plus, if you have it, you're not alone. Up to 10% of women have PCOS.⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

Ask the Egg Whisperer is one of my favorite times each week! I love getting to answer your questions. In this episode, Maria writes in to ask about the sperm DNA fragmentation test. "When should we ask for a sperm DNA fragmentation test? We had our first (failed) IUI in September and during it, my husband's semen analysis was significantly lower than the analysis we had done pre-treatment (which was done at a different lab). He is now undergoing more testing with a urologist including an ultrasound, a physical exam, and a repeat semen analysis. The outcome of current testing would either mean we try more IUIs or move on to IVF."
