The Egg Whisperer Show

Recently, Yamilka sent a question in to "Ask The Egg Whisperer," and here's what she said: "I am from Florida, 36 years old. I'd like to start the fertility process on my own. However, I'm overweight have type two diabetes and sleep apnea. I was diagnosed with PCOS. For the last couple of years, my doctors weren't clear if I have it or not. I have regular cycles that lasts around 32 days and I want to do IUI or IVF soon. What are the possibilities of me receiving treatment successfully?" My short answer is that Yamilka's chances of having a healthy pregnancy at age 36 are really, really good. While she does have PCOS, I would want to see what we can do to help you be even healthier. One thing that has helped patients of mine with similar situations is seeing a doctor, like Stephanie Fein, who specializes in fertility, and helping people reach their body size goals.

Recently, a listener sent a question in to Ask the Egg Whisperer. Here's what she asked, "Hi, Dr. Aimee. I recently had an FET(Frozen Embryo Transfer) that ended in a miscarriage at six and a half weeks with a high grade, PGS tested embryo. I did the era test. We did the transfer on the right day. I was wondering what should my progesterone level be before and after the frozen embryo transfer?" My short answer is this: before the frozen embryo transfer, on the lining check day, you want it to be less than one. I like it to be around 0.5. On the transfer date, I don't check progesterone level, but if there's a concern that someone's having a reaction to the progesterone, I check it. I like it to be at least 20, if you're doing intramuscular progesterone. The next week, with a pregnancy test, I always check progesterone with my HCG levels. I like the progesterone level to be over 20, ideally around 30. Tune in to hear the full answer to this question and many others.

Recently, a listener sent this question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer: "Hi Dr. Aimee! Thank you for all the work you're doing and for giving us the opportunity to ask questions. I listened to your last show on the ERA test. And I would like to know whether an ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) test can be done to figure out the best implantation window in the case of a natural FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) cycle?" I always love answering these questions. Let's look at the basics of IVF before we talk about the ERA test. I like to think of it in three stages: 1. Egg and Sperm come together to make an embryo 2. Embryo transfer preparation 3. Embryo transfer The answer is: Yes, I do the ERA test in natural cycle transfers as well, because I want to get it right. I want to know exactly when a patient should do their trigger shot. I want to know exactly what time I should be doing that transfer, so that I never look back and say, "Oh, I wonder if the reason why this test is negative is because I didn't get the timing right."
