To help myself and my fertility patients, I've adopted a "float through life" mindset—emphasizing mindfulness, calmness, adaptability, and acceptance. Whether you're going through IVF or simply exploring your fertility options, cultivating a positive mindset can help you feel more grounded and supported in the process. In this episode, I share how mindfulness and a flexible mindset can be powerful tools for fertility patients. Instead of being consumed by stress or uncertainty, you'll learn how to approach IVF and your fertility journey with more ease, presence, and hope. This shift toward a positive mindset doesn't mean ignoring challenges—it means embracing tools that allow you to move through them with greater strength and grace. In this episode, we cover: How to embrace situations as they come without spiraling when plans change The power of mindfulness and accepting impermanence in difficult times Ways to stay flexible, cultivate gratitude, and detach from rigid outcomes Why humor, lightheartedness, and community support matter in tough moments Practical steps for prioritizing self-care, limiting overthinking, and trusting the journey Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Read the notes on Dr. Aimee's website. I had the pleasure of being interviewed on the Reset Mantra podcast with host Sabeena Maharjan, where I shared one of my core beliefs: "Knowledge is power. Test, don't guess." In our conversation, I opened up about my journey as a physician and why I'm so passionate about empowering people to take charge of their health. Too often, we rely on assumptions or outdated information—when in reality, the answers are often just a test away. Whether it's fertility, wellness, or any aspect of life, I believe in using evidence and data to guide our choices. If you're ready to break free from guesswork and embrace a more informed, proactive approach, tune in to my episode on Reset Mantra. Let's reset the way we think about health—together. In this episode, we cover:The basics of egg freezing and why I call it "fertility assurance" rather than "fertility insurance" Success rates and the importance of age when freezing eggs The emotional side of fertility and why my mantra is "Test, don't guess" Fertility testing every woman should know and what the results reveal How supplements, lifestyle, faith, and science all play a role in reproductive health Find The Reset Mantra on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/@theresetmantra Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

When it comes to DOR, aka Diminished Ovarian Reserve, I will forever be reminding you, your friend, your friend's mom and anyone else who will listen: "diminished" does not mean "zero"! That's why I'm so happy to have Dr. Geoffrey Sher back on the show to talk all about egg stimulation specifically for women with a diminished ovarian reserve. Just because you may have gotten a DOR diagnosis does not mean your fertility journey ends here. In fact, there are still many ways that you can work with your doctor to give your remaining eggs the best chance at success. Like I always say: all it takes is one good egg! Here are just a few things we talked about in this amazing conversation: What you need to know about egg quality and how it declines over time What we can do to give eggs the best chance during IVF Why you might choose birth control (you read that right!) in this situation Resources: Contact Dr. Sher on his website Follow Dr. Sher on Instagram Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

We're talking all about donor conception and infertility advocacy on today's podcast episode with my wonderful guest, Victoria Nino. Victoria is the creator of Expecting Anything, a blog where she candidly shares her journey through infertility, IVF and motherhood through donor eggs. She is also the founder of Infertility Unfiltered, a platform dedicated to sharing raw, honest stories about infertility without the pressure of a positive outcome. Victoria has published her first children's book, Our Hearts Match, which helps parents have important conversations with their donor-conceived children and to emphasize the bond that parents share with their children outside of DNA. She is on a mission to normalize donor conception, and I couldn't be more thrilled to have her on the show. Her work offers a message of hope, resilience, and understanding for those on their own fertility journey.

Discover all the answers to some of the most common questions you may have about your menstrual cycle, hormones in your menstrual cycle, ovulation, implantation, and the 2ww (two week wait). If you are trying to get pregnant, you may have heard the term—two week wait, the often nervous time of waiting between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test. For many, this is a dreaded time because it's hard to know exactly what is happening. But by learning more about your cycle, you can have more knowledge about what might happen. The implantation window is during the two week wait. Since progesterone is the hormone responsible for supporting implantation, it must be present during the entire implantation window. You can track your progesterone during this window by tracking PdG, progesterone in urine. Proov has unique testing capabilities to test PdG during the implantation window to confirm successful ovulation. Studies show PdG levels are incredibly important for implantation and pregnancy success, for example, women with high PdG during the implantation window were 75% more likely to get pregnant. In contrast, women with low PdG had a miscarriage rate of 90%. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

I'm talking all about the benefits of known sperm donation with Danielle Winston of The Seed Scout @theseedscout on today's brand new episode of The Egg Whisperer Show.⁠ ⁠ When Danielle and her partner, practicing pediatrician Dr. Paige Kennedy-Winston, were looking to build their own family, they quickly realized the space of sperm banking was riddled with roadblocks for most families.⁠ ⁠ The process was highly impersonal, the anonymity and lack of diversity adding to the problem, and options seemed extremely limited. That's when Danielle and Dr. Kennedy-Winston took matters into their own hands and found their own donor. ⁠ ⁠ They got the idea for their sperm donor matchmaking concierge service, The Seed Scout, from their own first-hand experience. With Danielle's business and law background and Dr. Kennedy-Winston's pediatric experience, they made The Seed Scout a reality by taking a human-centered, ethical approach to known sperm donation that's founded on the belief that it's a basic human right to know the identity of one's donor and genetic origins.⁠ ⁠ In this conversation, Danielle and I talked all about:⁠ ⁠ 💙How The Seed Scout is different from traditional sperm banks⁠ 💙The extensive screening process used to make sure donors are aligned with their clients⁠ 💙Why it was so important to learn about and build from the perspective of donor-conceived individuals⁠ 💙How The Seed Scout guides families through the legal and logistical aspects of donor conception to ensure a smooth, ethical process⁠ 💙How they balance the seriousness of family planning with creating a fun and fulfilling experience for their clients⁠ ⁠ If you're curious about sperm donation and want to understand the process, your most ethical options, and how you can actually make this fun, you're not going to want to miss this episode!⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

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.

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.

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.

Should I delay my transfer after a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis and endometriosis? That was one of the thoughtful questions I answered in this week's Ask The Egg Whisperer LIVE Q&A! I love going live to answer real questions from this amazing community. Whether you're just beginning to think about growing your family or navigating your way through IVF, this space is for learning, connection, and support. Here are a few more questions I covered in this week's episode: 💬 What do you suggest for fragile eggs after 5 IVF cycles? I have very low blast rates. 💬 We had a failed cycle, and we're exploring options to address DNA fragmentation for my partner. 💬 I've had 4 egg retrievals, but no blasts—even after trying TESE and Omnitrope. What's next? 💬 Is cabergoline helpful for adenomyosis—especially in shrinking the uterus before a frozen embryo transfer? It's always incredible to see the support you all give each other in the comments during the live! Your strength, curiosity, and compassion make this community so special.

As part of the IVF cycle, patients are given hormones which stimulates the ovaries to allow all the possible follicles and eggs to grow. The good news is that this often allows us to capture as many healthy eggs as possible in one cycle, giving a patient a better chance at a healthy embryo. One possible side effect is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. Dr. Nichole Barker of Seattle Reproductive Medicine joins me on the podcast today to talk all about OHSS. What do you need to know before IVF? What are the symptoms of OHSS? What's the protocol for a patient (and her doctor) should she have symptoms?⠀ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by Dr. Laura Londra, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and fertility expert, to talk about a topic that is as important as it is urgent: ectopic pregnancy. While rare, ectopic pregnancies are potentially life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. That's why it's essential to know the signs and understand the risks. Dr. Londra helps break down what an ectopic pregnancy is, how it's diagnosed, and how it's treated. We talk about the early warning signs, including what symptoms to look for after IVF or natural conception, and the medical and surgical options available. We also discuss what having an ectopic pregnancy might mean for future fertility and what steps can be taken to reduce the risk of recurrence. This episode is filled with compassionate, clear, and essential information that every patient should know. In this episode, we cover: What an ectopic pregnancy is and where it can occur The early warning signs and symptoms to watch for How ectopic pregnancies are diagnosed and confirmed Treatment options, including medication and surgery What to consider when trying to conceive after an ectopic pregnancy Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website You can find Dr. Laura Londra here.

In this episode of Ask the Egg Whisperer, Dr. Aimee responds to presubmitted questions about IVF, miscarriage, egg quality, and fertility options at different stages of life. Topics include: Navigating repeated miscarriage and failed transfers with euploid embryos, and whether to consider adding medications like steroids or intralipids for future cycles. A listener asks about ovarian PRP and whether there's any emerging research on reversing premature menopause, especially for younger women diagnosed in their teens. When do natural pregnancy losses signal it's time to consider IVF? Is it appropriate to begin a donor egg cycle with only a basic ultrasound and no other testing, especially in a post-menopausal patient? What might cause healthy-looking embryos to arrest between day 3 and day 5, and what else can be done to improve blast formation and egg quality? Is it safe to continue baby aspirin during early pregnancy after PCOS and a prior miscarriage, especially when unusual symptoms like bloody discharge appear? A listener is deciding between IUI and IVF after receiving different advice from two doctors, and wants help understanding which supplements, tests, and steps to prioritize when trying to conceive at 39. This episode covers a wide spectrum of fertility experiences and offers expert insight into what to ask, what to expect, and how to advocate for your reproductive goals.

Today, I'm so honored to have Kristin McQuaid joining me to talk about a very touching and powerful topic: support for surrogate mothers and intended parents through infant loss. 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."

"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.

I encourage all of my patients to find what I refer to as a "cabana boy." I like the idea of someone fanning them with a big palm leaf, and taking care of their every need while they relax and take it easy during fertility treatment. Since it can be hard to find a good cabana boy these days, I am always on the lookout for ways to make things easier for my patients. Still, eating right is super important during fertility treatment, AND meal prep and planning can be one more thing to add to your "plate" during an already busy time. When I found out about Methodology, I knew I had to have CEO Julie Nguyen on The Egg Whisperer Show. I know you'll be inspired by Julie's story of how she started Methodology as a way to eat better, and eat healthier, while still having quick and easy options for a busy life. In this episode you will learn about how gut health impacts your overall health, easy ways to eat a cleaner diet, and how some of those ailments (eczema, asthma, and sometimes sleep issues) you have might be the result of what you're eating.. Our current culture provides so many opportunities to pick up fast and processed foods, and while that seems like a faster option, it's not always your best option. I hope you'll join Julie and I as we talk about ways to fix this, especially during a time when you are looking for ways to eat healthier and have easy food prep options. Julie Nguyen is the Founder & CEO of Methodology, a company that makes high-quality, fully cooked meals for busy professionals. Julie holds a BA in Economics from Stanford, and started Methodology after discovering that her own diet was negatively impacting her health and causing eczema, asthma, and poor sleep. Six years, Two nutritionists, 3 personal trainers, and an enormous excel sheet later, Julie had unlocked the keys to tracking her own eating habits and that was the start of Methodology.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Geoffrey Sher of Sher Fertility Solutions. He is an internationally renowned fertility expert. He trained under "The Fathers of IVF, " Drs. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards in the UK. In 1982 he established the 1st private (non-university based) IVF program in the US.

He is the author of " In Vitro Fertilization, the A.R.T. of Making Babies" and (more recently), "Unexplained IVF failure and Recurrent pregnancy loss: The Immunologic Link"." Today he's joining me to talk about Immunologic Implantation Dysfunction (IID), which may be a factor in unexplained IVF failure and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). He will be talking about how the endometrial lining plays an important role in embryo implantation, because as he shares, "you can't put a good seed in bad soil, or a bad seed in good soil."
