The Egg Whisperer Show

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.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Judy Simon and Dr. Angela Thyer back to the podcast to talk all about their brand new book, Getting to Baby. Dr. Angela is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, and Judy is a registered dietitian nutritionist who specializes in reproductive health.

What you fuel your body with during this journey makes a difference, and based on Dr. Angela and Judy's work, that difference can be huge. They've already helped thousands of women who were struggling with infertility thanks to this blueprint, and I know they're going to help so many more with this book.
