The Egg Whisperer Show

I'm thrilled to share a special episode of The Egg Whisperer Show that originally aired on Pregnantish with Andrea Syrtash. In this episode, Andrea interviews the incredible Clare Crawley from The Bachelor about her fertility journey. Clare has been so brave in sharing her story, and as one of my patients, it's been a privilege to support her along the way. She opens up about her struggles with fertility, her decision to pursue surrogacy, and the ups and downs of finding love while navigating these challenges. In the second part of the episode, I talk about a supplement I recommend to all my patients—TruNiagen—and the powerful benefits of NAD+ for fertility and overall health. This is a must-listen if you're on your own fertility journey or want to learn more about how to support your body!

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.

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.

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.

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I'm honored to be sharing a conversation all about endometrial analysis. Originally hosted by Tiffany Stankewicz and Nasser Al Asmar of Igenomix / Vitrolife Group, this interview included Dr. Allison Rodgers and Dr. Aimee We did a deep dive on how endometrial analysis works, and the tools that are available for fertility patients to get a better understanding of what may be happening with their endometrial lining. We also talk about how endometrial receptivity testing can lead to better outcomes for patients. The truth is that up to 30% of women have pathogenic bacteria in their endometrial lining that can negatively affect an embryo's ability to implant, and the good news is that there are simple antibiotics that can improve the lining. Dr. Rodgers and I have both had a lot of experience using the tools that Igenomix has created to test the endometrium, and we have both found that they can improve a patient's chance for a successful pregnancy. They call the trio of tests "Endometrio" and it includes EMMA, ALICE, and ERA. These three tests do the following: ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) - The ERA test evaluates the stage of an endometrium to determine if a receptive or non-receptive genetic profile is present at the time of biopsy. EMMA (Endometrial Microbiome Metagenomic Analysis) - A screening test to evaluate the endometrium at the microbiological level. ALICE (Analysis of Infectious Chronic Endometritis) - ALICE detects the bacteria causing chronic endometritis to improve your patient's reproductive prognosis. Tune in to learn more about endometrial analysis and how these tests, and the science behind them, can give fertility patients more insights about their endometrium, implantation, and chances for pregnancy. Thank you for hosting, Tiffany and Nasser, and thank you for the great discussion, Allison! You can tune in to all of the discussions hosted by Igenomix at ASRM on YouTube.

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. I know when patients hear "diminished" when it comes to their eggs, they think it's all over. They imagine they've gone from having a whole bunch of gorgeous, high-quality eggs right to having none at all. The truth is, every ovulating human on earth is going to go through DOR. And when it happens, it happens slowly, over time. There's no emergency "eggs-it" that all your eggs run through all of a sudden, taking all your fertility journey goals with them. 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! Dr. Sher had so many excellent insights to share in this episode. 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 If you or someone you care about is wondering what to do after a DOR diagnosis, tune in to this episode of the podcast at the link in my profile. I promise, there's still so much hope for you and your dreams Thank you once again for a great conversation, Dr. Sher!

The relationship between sleep and fertility isn't something that's talked about very much. I'm excited to have sleep expert, Dr. Sara Nowakowski, joining me today. We all know sleep is important, but did you know that sleep helps you recover from illness and rebound from life challenges? It also helps with mood regulation and decreases depression and anxiety, and it has been shown to help memory consolidation. Plus, there is scientific evidence to show that sleep impacts hormones, has varying effects during the different phases of a woman's reproductive life (when trying to conceive, during pregnancy, and during perimenopause and menopause). Sara is sharing some of the findings about this, along with some tips on improving sleeping habits. Sara Nowakowski, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Baylor College of Medicine and treats patients with insomnia and other sleep disorders at the Baylor Sleep Medicine Clinic. She is also a Research Health Scientist at the Houston VA, where she conducts research on sleep and women's health. Thank you for joining me, Sara!

While it's started to be used as an anti-aging drug, I've been exploring its potential for reproductive health, especially in improving fertility and delaying menopause. In this episode, I share my personal experience taking Rapamycin, including how it's affected my skin, menstrual cycles, and overall health. We'll also get into the science behind it and how it may be beneficial for women going through menopause or undergoing fertility treatments like IVF. While I'm passionate about this topic, I want to emphasize that this is not medical advice—always consult your doctor before considering any new treatments. I also share how my alcohol-free lifestyle supports my approach to healthy aging and fertility. Key points covered include: How Rapamycin may help delay menopause, reverse its effects, and support fertility treatments. Some of the potential side effects, like cystic acne and mouth sores. Why I started using and prescribing Rapamycin for longevity and helping women improve fertility later in life. My personal experience with Rapamycin, including smoother skin, regular cycles, and no gray hair at 48. The importance of consulting your doctor before trying Rapamycin, as this podcast is informational and not meant as medical advice. Get the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

If you know me, you know that I believe hope is an important part of anyone's fertility journey. And, as a doctor, I feel it's very important to explore every option that is out there with a patient so that they can become a parent. I loved getting to talk to Amanda Casgar of Hysterical about what the TTC journey looks like as we age, and speaking about the possibilities that open up when someone is ready to consider donor eggs. On the one hand, I believe in the fertility of every patient that I meet. I know that you may have been to other doctors, and for many people, your hope is to have a pregnancy with your own eggs. And on the other hand, I know that there may be a time after a patient has tried different protocols or done several transfers that they are ready to try something else. They may know that beyond anything else, they want to be a parent, and for their own heart they need to have tried every thing possible with their own eggs before choosing other paths. The truth is that any pregnancy is a miracle. DNA is not required to become a parent. And if your heart is set on it: you will become a mother, one way or another. So thank you for having this very open and transparent conversation with me, Amanda. I love that you're asking all sorts of questions about pregnancy, and menopause, and donor eggs. I loved our discussion so much that I've asked to re-air it on my own podcast today. For more information and content about menopause, check out Hysterical.

I'm honored to be hosting Tara Lipinski for a conversation about her fertility journey. You likely know Tara as an Olympic figure skater, winning gold in 1998. She's also been a commentator for NBC, and at 41 she and her husband Todd are now sharing the story of their journey towards parenthood.⁠ ⁠ In People, Tara shared that "In the last five years, I've been under anesthesia 24 times, had four miscarriages, four D&Cs [dilation and curettage], six failed transfers, eight retrievals and was diagnosed with endometriosis with two subsequent major surgeries."⁠ ⁠ While she's lived a good deal of her life in the spotlight, she is just now ready to step into sharing about this journey with others. She and her husband have started their own podcast, "Unexpecting." I know you'll be inspired by her strength, her openness, and her determination. ⁠ ⁠ As she shared in People, " To get through this has really shown me how strong I am. You think as an athlete, 'Oh, I'm so strong and am able to get through anything,' and little did I know that this journey would actually teach me that I could do that. I was really put up to the test so many times where I thought, 'Oh, I have fallen down so hard I don't know how I'm going to get back up.'" ⁠ ⁠ Through it all, I haven't given up," she says. "My urge to become a mother is what had gotten me through and has kept me going. I've never wanted anything more."⁠ You can watch our conversation on Instagram, here.

There are so many important processes in our bodies that are controlled or affected directly by the health of our gut microbiome, and fertility is one of them. In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by Josh Dech to talk about improving gut health for fertility. Josh is an ex-paramedic and Holistic Nutritionist, specializing in Crohn's, Colitis and other related gut issues. He's helped to reverse over 250 cases of Crohn's and colitis, and is a medical lecturer at Priority Health Academy, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and inflammatory bowel disease. He's also the host of ReversABLE, a top podcast about gut health. I often talk about how important it is to fuel your body for it to feel the strongest it can as you go through your fertility journey, (that's why the E in fertility TEAM stands for "eating and exercise",) and gut health is a big part of the equation. This episode covers: How gut health specifically impacts fertility, and what are the key connections between the two. The role the gut plays in regulating hormones. Some of the ways that poor gut health can negatively impact fertility and what to watch out for. How gut health plays into caring for conditions like PCOS and endometriosis The steps you can take to improve gut health and boost your chances of conception.

I'm excited to share that today on The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm airing an interview where Dr. Susan Fox hosted me on her podcast! We dive into a topic I'm passionate about—egg freezing—and Dr. Fox asks whether I involve acupuncturists during egg freezing cycles. The answer is YES! I truly believe that building a "Fertility TEAM" is essential for a joyful and supported fertility journey. For me, TEAM stands for Therapy, Eating, Exercise, Acupuncture, Mindfulness, and Meditation. It's not just about getting through tough moments; it's about feeling supported and empowered throughout the entire process. As you'll hear me share, there's no better time to build your fertility TEAM than at the beginning of your journey. The time to build it isn't when you have a devastating result. It's important to be supported throughout the process because it's not easy, and I want the journey to be one of joy. Acupuncture plays a huge role in helping patients feel more relaxed, improve recovery, and even feel stronger in early pregnancy. The right acupuncturist, with a true specialty in fertility, can be a game-changer. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website. Find Dr. Susan Fox's podcast here.

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.

In early 2019, Gina, Jen, and Maya came together as mamas on a mission to transform the landscape of embryo donation. Each of them had a different fertility journey that had a connection to embryo donation, and wanted to make embryo donation better understood, more inclusive, and more accessible. And, they wanted to bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and child well being. I'm so excited to have them on the show. In this episode (which is Part 1 of 2), we're covering donating embryos. Gina and Jen will be talking about options for people who want to donate their embryos, including the psychological considerations, and what patients should know before donating embryos to another family. I love what EM•POWER with Moxi does, and I am delighted to have partnered with EM•POWER with Moxi to help guide patients through the things to consider if you are looking at embryo donation as a disposition option or a family building choice.

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 Check out Dr. Mira Aubuchon at MCRM Fertility.

I encourage all of my patients to work with an acupuncturist during fertility treatment. ⁠ ⁠ Acupuncture is the "A" in my TEAM (Therapist, Eating well, Acupuncture, and Meditation), and there are many evidence based reasons to consider doing acupuncture during treatment. On the blog, I'm sharing a conversation with Judy Tognetti, a local acupuncturist. ⁠ ⁠ Here's her explanation of how acupuncture works for fertility patients:⁠ ⁠ "Fertility acupuncture is based on the concept of using the nervous system, lymphatic system, and balancing hormones. By utilizing certain points in the body, we're able to adjust the hormones. If we use electrical stimulation, we're able to secrete neurotransmitters. At certain amplitudes, we can secrete serotonin, dopamine, whatever it is that we're trying to secrete.⁠ ⁠ Other than that, we're using needle points that are selected over the ovaries or over the uterus to drive blood flow, increase lymphatic circulation, and balance the hormones. Basically, in a nutshell, that's what it's doing while we're doing it."⁠ ⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Visit Judy Tognetti at her website.

I love sharing the latest studies with you. I'm so excited to interview Dr. Blake Evans on the Egg Whisperer Show podcast today to share his published findings about testicular sperm and IVF outcomes. Testicular sperm (or sperm taken from the testicle as opposed to ejaculated sperm) in some cases may improve the rate of blastocyst development and pregnancy rates for those who have first tried IVF unsuccessfully with ejaculated sperm. I'm delighted to have Dr. Evans on the podcast to share his findings, and to talk about what you can do to optimize sperm quality and increase your own IVF success rates.

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show Podcast, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Paul Turek. I like to call him "The Sperm Whisperer," because he is a wealth of knowledge in all things male reproductive health. In our discussion, we're talking about what it means to be on team "pecker checker," (his words) and why Dr. Turek feels that men are often medically underserved, as far as reproductive health goes. As he shares, women tend to be more proactive, and have a monthly cycle that allows them to be more in tune with what is going on with their bodies. We're also talking about these interesting questions: How long should you abstain before IUI? What do you look for in healthy sperm? How can a man improve sperm quality? What can a man do to support his female partner during fertility treatment? Thank you so much for joining me, Dr. Turek! You can tune in to this episode on Dr. Aimee's website.

I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Carol Curchoe, who is a reproductive biologist practicing clinical embryology. Her active research interests span reproductive biology, from basic embryology to cutting edge artificial intelligence applications for IVF. She is the founder of ARTCompass, which is a free open source image based embryology survey tool, and she is the recent author of The Thin Pink Line: Regulating Reproduction. Her book is truly all about empowering people by educating them about present-day drivers of access, structural inequality, and quality of care issues in reproduction. I am glad that Dr. Burton is bringing them to light so we can address them and change things. No discussion of infertility would be complete without this discussion.

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).

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.
