Do Men Have a Biological Clock?  ⁠The short answer is, yes! Absolutely.⁠ I don’t claim to be an expert on men’s reproductive health, but given it is 50% of the equation when it comes to getting pregnant, I care a great deal about it.⁠ ⁠ I get questions all of the time from patients about their partner’s sperm. My trusted go-to person for the latest information on those little swimmers is Dr. Paul Turek, who I like to call, “The Sperm Whisperer.”⁠ Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast, Dr. Turek joins me to talk about the definition of male infertility, preventative fertility healthcare for men, when couples should seek treatment, how age impacts male fertility, and how to improve sperm quality.⁠ Thank you for joining me, Dr. Turek!   You can read the full show notes here.

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 show notes at Dr. Aimee's website. Do you have questions about how embryo quality plays a role in IVF?Dr. Aimee will answer your questions in The IVF Class.

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.⠀ Do you have questions getting a diagnosis with the TUSHY Method?Join Dr. Aimee for the upcoming TUSHY Method Class.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Geoffrey Sher of Sher Fertility Solutions. He is an internationally renowned fertility expert. He trained under “The Fathers of IVF, ” Drs. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards in the UK. In 1982 he established the 1st private (non-university based) IVF program in the US. Over a career spanning almost 40 years Dr. Sher has been influential in the births of over 17000 IVF babies and has helped fashion the entire field of ART. He is the author of “ In Vitro Fertilization, the A.R.T. of Making Babies” and (more recently), “Unexplained IVF failure and Recurrent pregnancy loss: The Immunologic Link”." Today he's joining me to talk about Immunologic Implantation Dysfunction (IID), which may be a factor in unexplained IVF failure and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). He will be talking about how the endometrial lining plays an important role in embryo implantation, because as he shares, "you can't put a good seed in bad soil, or a bad seed in good soil."

Last year in the United States a baby was born every 8 seconds. That‘s roughly 3.8 Million babies born last year alone! You don’t have to be a fertility doctor to know what that means. Millions of people just like you were trying to conceive. Research tells us that most couples conceive within six cycles of timed intercourse, but many others (roughly 10% of couples) are struggling with fertility. Here’s the funny thing about what I do. I want to teach you how NOT to be my patient. Of course, there are exceptions to that statement. But in general, I’d much prefer to share with you what I’ve learned about preparing for pregnancy in hopes that it makes your journey to parenthood easier. A journey that goes without needing to see me.  Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Do you want to learn about the TUSHY Method?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The TUSHY Method Class.

Discover all the answers to some of the most common questions you may have about your menstrual cycle, hormones in your menstrual cycle, ovulation, implantation, and the 2ww (two week wait).  If you are trying to get pregnant, you may have heard the term—two week wait, the often nervous time of waiting between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test. For many, this is a dreaded time because it’s hard to know exactly what is happening. But by learning more about your cycle, you can have more knowledge about what might happen.  The implantation window is during the two week wait. Since progesterone is the hormone responsible for supporting implantation, it must be present during the entire implantation window. You can track your progesterone during this window by tracking PdG, progesterone in urine.  Proov has unique testing capabilities to test PdG during the implantation window to confirm successful ovulation.  Studies show PdG levels are incredibly important for implantation and pregnancy success, for example, women with high PdG during the implantation window were 75% more likely to get pregnant. In contrast, women with low PdG had a miscarriage rate of 90%.  You can find more about tracking your implantation window and PdG at Proov: https://proovtest.com/products/proov-test-strips Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

IVF is a very emotional journey. It can be riddled with fear, doubt, and is full of periods of waiting and wondering. For my patients, I want to reduce any emotional or physical burdens by creating an IVF checklist for them. It covers the core essentials of everything we need to do, so there are no conversations that begin with, “I wish I would have…” down the road. I don’t want you to have to wonder if you’ve done everything you can to have a successful IVF outcome. This is true if you’re my patient, or you live half-way across the world. I want to equip you with a complete IVF checklist. I want you to feel prepared going into IVF so there is less chance of having any regrets if things don’t pan out as you hope they will. Of course, this can’t serve as your only guidance during IVF. Please discuss anything and everything with your doctor!
