I'm delighted to be joined by Dr. Jessica Mann for a discussion about Asherman's Syndrome. As a fertility doctor at IRMS Reproductive Medicine in New Jersey, Dr. Mann is sharing her professional expertise and personal experience with Asherman's Syndrome.    Also known as "intrauterine scarring," Asherman's is an acquired condition (meaning you're not born with it). Some patients with Asherman's have difficulty getting pregnant. The good news is that there are ways to diagnose this syndrome and treatments are available. I'm excited to have Dr. Mann explain both to us tonight.   Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

In this episode, Dr. Aimee talks to Dr. Renée Hilliard , an OBGYN and sex, love, and relationship expert. Subscribe to the newsletter to get updates Join the Egg Whisperer School Read the whole article on my blog Here's Dr. Renée describing her work, in her own words: "I’ve been practicing gynecology for over 20 years. I’ve had so many patients that have had challenges around sex like not having the pleasure that they want during sex or experiencing pain during sex and not being able to communicate well with their partners. For some, this results in not being able to achieve orgasms. There are also challenges many experiences after menopause like vaginal dryness or pain that affects the quality of sex. Statistics show that over 20 percent of people are in sexless relationships, but I think the figure is probably closer to 30 percent. Many people have sex less than once a month and I’m sure you recognize that as well in your practice. I find that during fertility care many people start having issues around intimacy. When a couple is going through fertility treatment sex can start to feel more like a chore and doesn’t have the pleasure that it once had. (That’s if they ever had a lot of pleasure from sex). I’ve been able to develop tools that can help patients communicate better with their partners and tune into their bodies. Many are then able to experience pleasure in a more profound way. I’m really proud of couples and individuals that make that kind of progress."

I have patients that come to me from all over the world. There’s one question I always ask when reviewing their IVF cycle history. What was your embryo quality? I hear time and time again from patients that they don’t know it because their doctor told them embryo quality doesn’t matter with IVF. That’s simply not true! Just like diamonds in a jewelry store. Quality matters. Just like there is a grading system for diamonds, there is also a grading system for embryos. It’s important for you to know that this exists and to ask for your embryo grade. When it comes to getting pregnant and IVF, the implantation rate is determined by the embryo quality and rating. Read the full article on my website.  Sign up to get my newsletter.

Whether you’re doing an endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) or a frozen embryo transfer, this episode is for you. Doing an ERA test is like doing everything you would normally do for a frozen embryo transfer cycle except instead of showing up at the lab for a transfer, we remove cells from the uterine lining (the endometrium) to analyze first in Dr. Aimee's office.

On the journey to growing a family, more and more people are choosing donor eggs or sperm as an option. As a community, it's time to further the conversation about how to embrace donor conception as an option because the fact is: every woman will run out of eggs at some point in her life, and it doesn't change the fact that she may still want to grow her family. I'm delighted to have author, and therapist, Jana Rupnow on the podcast this week to talk about donor conception. Find the full show notes on my website.

I do this with my patients all of the time. There’s a lot of truth-telling that goes on in my office, and often myth-busting is necessary to get to the truth. Perhaps you can relate — there are so many headlines and hearsay stories about fertility. Do you struggle to disseminate between what is evidence-based science and what is not? I don’t care where you live or who your doctor is. My goal is to share what I know in the event that it’s even the tiniest bit helpful to you and your fertility journey.

"I believe it’s important for all women — not just those trying to get pregnant — to understand their menstrual cycle." — Lindsey Meisel As a fertility doctor, I agree with her as I’ve seen the complexities and confusion that can arise with menstrual cycles. In this episode, Dr. Aimee and Lindsey talk about: - Ovulation Tracking - Late Ovulation - Mistakes people make when trying to conceive - What the Ava Bracelet tracks - How Lindsey used the bracelet in her own fertility journey Read the whole article here: https://draimee.org/ovulation-tracking-with-the-ava-bracelet Subscribe to the newsletter to get updates: https://draimee.org/blog Please note: I am not paid by Ava to write this post or have this discussion.
