The Egg Whisperer Show

I love doing “Ask the Egg Whisperer” because you always ask the best questions.   Recently, Haley asked about the best lube for someone who has PCOS and is trying to conceive. I especially loved this question because it was so easy to answer: My favorite lube is the Good Clean Love Biogenesis Fertility Lubricant. It’s amazing because it is the only TTC lubricant without parabens, and it includes calcium and magnesium ions to support fertility. Plus it feels great and supports sperm health, too. So, no matter if you have PCOS or not - it’s the lube I recommend to all of my patients. To learn more about the Good Clean Love Love Biogenesis Fertility Lubricant (which is part of The Egg Whisperer Pre-TTC kit), head to draimee.org/prettckit Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Most fertility treatment hinges on the strategic use of drugs to help the body be as fertile as possible. My goal is to give each of my patients a personalized fertility plan with custom calendars of what to do, which drug to take, and when. Today on the podcast, I’m walking through fertility calendars (keeping things confidential, of course) and talking about the drugs I commonly use to give my patients the best chance at fertility success.  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.

You all enjoyed the conversation I had with Dr. Jenna McCarthy  yesterday about common IVF mistakes SO much that she’s coming back today on the podcast as part of the Live Q&A series. Jenna is a fellow fertility doctor and IVF specialist.  After our original interview aired, we got a lot of questions and comments from people who’d had their own mishaps during IVF. They were relieved to hear us talking about things that made them feel like they weren’t alone on their IVF journey. Mission accomplished! You are not alone, and there is a solution to just about every problem we’ve encountered (including sperm emergencies.)⠀⠀ I hope you’ll tune in to hear more about real life IVF mishaps.

Today, I’m excited to be joined by two members of the CryoFuture team: CEO and senior embryologist Sean Pae and Chief Operating Officer, Ginger Huang. CryoFuture is a cryogenic lab that stores frozen eggs and embryos in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we're talking basics here: how a cryo facility works, security considerations, and how their lab makes sure that there are no mixups. I know that many of my patients have a lot of questions about how embryos, eggs, and sperm are stored, and their safety, so we're playing a quick game of "safe or not safe." (spoiler because I don't want to stress anyone out who is trusting a cryobank with their own precious cargo: they'll be safe.) You'll hear us talk about floods, fire, earthquakes, and how specimens will be safe in the case of a car accident while being transported. You can tune in to learn more about the measures that CryoFuture takes to ensure safety, and how they monitor your cargo in transport. It's a fascinating look behind the scenes of how they handle things! Thank you so much for joining me, Sean and Ginger! I love working with you and love the care you extend to my patients and anyone going through IVF in the Bay Area. Learn more about Dr. Aimee at the website.

Dr. Shannon Clark is back on The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about the paper she recently co-authored, titled "Pregnancy After 40: Recommendations for Counseling, Evaluation, and Management From Preconception to Delivery." Whether you are a patient or a doctor, I know that this is a topic that will interest so many of you. I can't wait to talk to her about what should be included in preconception counseling after 40, the role of Assisted Reproductive Technologies, what you need to know about each trimester of pregnancy after 40, and what to consider regarding delivery. Dr. Shannon Clark is a double board certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist and Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist focusing on the care of women with maternal and/ or fetal complications of pregnancy. During her first year of residency, she realized her passion for taking care of women with complicated, or high-risk, pregnancies and subsequently pursued a fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Masters in Medical Science at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX, where she is an Associate Professor with roles as a clinician, researcher, and educator. She had her twins at age 43, and runs the popular "Babies After 35" account on Instagram, and "TikTocBabyDoc" on TikToc. Thank you for joining me again, Shannon! Read the full show notes here.

Today on the Egg Whisperer Show podcast, Dr. Geoffrey Sher joins me again to talk about his approach to care when it comes to IVF. We are discussing how he individualizes IVF protocols to optimize egg and embryo quality, giving his patients the best chance of IVF pregnancy. As he shares, there is no "one size fits all" approach to choosing the best protocol for IVF. It's no surprise that I agree with him. Protocols need to be customized, and are dependent on the woman's age and her ovarian reserve. Tune in as we talk about how to pick a protocol, the role of the trigger shot, the importance of hormones like estrogen and testosterone, and EZ-IVF versus mini IVF.

Abby Mercado and Kristyn Hodgdon are the co-founders of Rescripted. Both are mothers to IVF girl/boy twins. I'm honored to have them joining me to talk about "Rescripting" fertility prescriptions and the community they have created at Rescripted. In our discussion, you'll hear how sex ed is broken (we need to be teaching so much more than putting a condom on a banana), how 40% of women don't know what ovulation is, and all about their inspiring passion to change the way people learn and talk about fertility and reproduction. Here's what Abby has to say: "We went with the name re-scripted because we're going to create something new together. For us it was all about going back to basics. We cover fertility and pregnancy loss, and our future is really exciting. As we write, as we record videos, as we record podcasts, as we continue to put out media.... women really need answers as it relates to their reproductive, hormonal, and sexual health and wellness.  So that is us, and that's what we're proud to cover." Thank you for joining me, Abby and Kristyn! I love what you're doing, and so excited to share this conversation.
