The Egg Whisperer Show

Stephanie Levich is an author, and founder and president of Family Match Consulting, an egg donor and surrogacy agency in Los Angeles. Her recent book is titled "From the Start: A Book About Love and Making Families." I'm excited to have her join me on the show today to talk about how to find the best surrogate and egg donor. In this conversation, Stephanie and I are talking about adoption, surrogacy, and egg donation. We discuss how to navigate the process of finding egg donors and surrogates, and different ways intended parents manage their emotions and the mental health side of modern family building.

Today on the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can create your own personalized IVF Plan. Have you ever used Google Maps and been redirected midway via a better route? Alternatively, maybe you’re proactive in managing traffic and go directly to Waze to get you from point A to point B in the most time effective way? These apps are well-loved and widely used because they remove obstacles out of an otherwise potentially painful process, and they do so with data. I bring the beauty of Google Maps into my fertility care by serving as a personal navigator for every one of my patient’s IVF care and talked about it here. We tell these apps where we want to go, they determine our starting point and formulate a plan. It’s not a one-size fits-all-route; it is customized and updated in real-time to avoid the proverbial bumps along the way. I would get lost daily without this personalized navigation.

I’m so excited to have Maya, Jen, and Gina of EM•POWER with Moxi back for part two of our discussion about embryo donation! Today, we’re talking all about becoming a parent through embryo donation. Maya became a mother through embryo donation, and she is sharing about the emotional shift that comes with choosing to become a parent to a baby that doesn’t share your DNA. She also talks about some things to consider when you’re deciding if embryo donation is the right choice for you to grow your family. We also talk about genetic counseling, Empower with Moxi’s “Moxi Matching” service, and other ways that Empower with Moxi is supporting the community. The journey of becoming a parent through embryo donation is very special, and I’m so honored to have Maya, Jen, and Gina back to share more about the options, considerations, and beauty of embryo donation.  If you want to watch part 1 (Everything You Need to Know about Donating Embryos), you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXU6Nrz1nJQ You can find out more about EM•POWER with Moxi at their website: https://www.empowerwithmoxi.com/ Get the Egg Whisperer Conception Kit: https://goodcleanlove.com/products/egg-whisperer-pre-ttc-kit Subscribe to the newsletter to get updates: https://draimee.org/blog Check out the podcast: https://draimee.org/the-egg-whisperer-show-podcast Join the TUSHY Method Class: https://the-egg-whisperer-school.teachable.com/p/the-tushy-method Join Egg Freezing Class: https://the-egg-whisperer-school.teachable.com/p/egg-freezing-party/ Buy Your Fertility Pants: https://egg-whisperer.myshopify.com/ Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America’s most well known fertility doctors.

Stress and pregnancy go hand in hand. Heck, stress and living life go hand in hand! While some stress is healthy, and actually a helpful motivator to us, too much can send us into a mental (and sometimes physical) tailspin. Dr. Coleman Allen joins me on today's podcast episode Before I get into my top 10 list of things you need to know from the show, I wanted to touch on one of my favorite parts of our discussion. I particularly liked her perspective on something I hear from patients time and again. “I want to get pregnant naturally”. Dr. Allen’s response was more perfect than any I’ve heard, and one I hope will bring you peace of mind should this be something you desire, too: “It still takes all of the natural miracles to become pregnant. With fertility treatment, and all it entails you’re simply facilitating a natural process to happen. Nobody can force an egg to fertilize or make an embryo grow and divide. Only nature can make an embryo attach.” Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!
