The Egg Whisperer Show

One of the most common questions I get asked is “Why didn't my IUI work?" It’s a great question because there are many factors that come into play with intrauterine insemination. If you're my patient, we'd start by checking the Fallopian tubes, uterus, and sperm quality first.⠀ But let's say you've done the #TUSHYcheck, the tubes are clear and everything else looks good. So why doesn't IUI work?  The answer I share with my patients is: because you're human. Yes, it's really as simple as that. ⠀ To put IUI into perspective, 90% of the time it doesn't work. ⠀ So if your IUI didn't work, I want you to know that there's nothing wrong with you, and you're normal, and human. It's that simple.⠀ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website here.   Do you have questions getting a diagnosis with the TUSHY Method and IVF?Join Dr. Aimee for the upcoming IVF Class.

Imagine an insemination kit with a syringe specifically designed for the female body that you can use with your partner or sperm donor in the comfort of your own home. I'm delighted to have Maureen Brown, co-founder of Mosie Baby joining me on the this week to talk about the home insemination kit that she and her husband designed after being faced with infertility.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ As you know, I really love innovative products and ideas that help people reach their goals. Anything that helps demystify fertility and helps women get pregnant is a win in my book. What I love about the Mosie Baby story is that Maureen and her husband decided to create a product that they could not find and wished existed during their fertility journey. We talk about how the kit was invented, her own experience using it, how it works, and about some of her favorite success stories.

Dr. Geoffrey Sher is back, and we are talking about Intrauterine Insemination, or IUI. In 1982, Dr. Sher and his colleagues were the first to wash sperm, and then put it through a centrifuge process. After an incubation period, they used a catheter to inject the sperm into the uterine cavity of a patient. He's a true pioneer, and this was the first time IUI had been done!. I know you will enjoy learning more about IUI from him. We're sharing about how IUI works, and why it's recommended for some patients. We also discuss the differences between IUI and IVF, and when you might pick one over the other. Read the whole show notes on my website.

Today on The Egg Whisperer podcast, my dear friend Dr. Jenna McCarthy is joining me to talk all about the most common IVF mistakes. Our intent is to share as much information as we can with you so you’ll go into an IVF cycle aware, empowered and feeling comfortable with what is going on. We want people to avoid these mistakes and also hear that they're common, they happen, and there’s always something you can do if you’re dealing with an issue.⠀ We’re talking about troubleshooting needle and syringe issues, the importance of not eating or drinking before your egg retrieval, timing of the trigger shot, sperm emergencies, and medication dosage issues and more. We’re basically talking about everything we’ve seen in our combined 20+ years of doing IVF. ⠀ Read the full show notes here.  Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

I get asked questions about IVF daily, from my patients and from those seeking treatment elsewhere in the United States and beyond. While the steps involved in IVF are generally the same, the factors to consider and the patient’s needs are all unique. While I can’t cover all scenarios in a single show (or blog post), I do want to recap some of the most common questions I get and answer some specific inquiries that were emailed to me. There’s a chance you have the same question as someone else. Read all of the show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Lucy Lines began her career as an embryologist, starting at Monash IVF in Melbourne in 2001. She worked in fertility clinics around the world, and consulted in clinics throughout Europe, the UK, and Australia. She realized that in addition to creating babies, she also loves learning and helping people. Having faced infertility and IVF herself, she now works as an educator and coach for fertility patients. Her Instagram account is refreshing and informative, and I love that she says she will, "happily answer all the questions you've saved for the day you got to meet an embryologist." I've met a few embryologists myself, and I love Lucy's great energy. Join us today on the Egg Whisperer Show Podcast as I ask Lucy all about being an embryologist and we talk all about embryos and bust a few myths together. Read the full show notes on the website.
