The Egg Whisperer Show

I’m honored to be joined by Dr. Carol Burton, who is a reproductive biologist practicing clinical embryology. Her active research interests span reproductive biology, from basic embryology to cutting edge artificial intelligence applications for IVF. She is the founder of ARTCompass, which is a free open source image based embryology survey tool, and she is the recent author of The Thin Pink Line: Regulating Reproduction. Her book is truly all about empowering people by educating them about present-day drivers of access, structural inequality, and quality of care issues in reproduction. I am glad that Dr. Burton is bringing them to light so we can address them and change things. No discussion of infertility would be complete without this discussion.

Dr. Geoffrey Sher is joining me again, and this time we are going to talk about implantation failure during IVF. Dr. Sher is co-founder of Sher Fertility Solutions (SFS) and an internationally renowned expert in the field of assisted reproductive technology, and influential in the births of more than 17,000 IVF babies. One day I hope that I’ll be able to say the same thing about myself. Over the last 30 years, he has helped fashion the entire field of ART after training under the fathers of IVF, Dr. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. He established the first private IVF program in the United States in 1982, then later expanded his practice to include several centers throughout California before founding the first Sher Fertility Solutions in Las Vegas. He’s also the author of several books, In Vitro Fertilization: The ART of Making Babies, which is now in its third edition. In this episode, we're talking about implantation failure during IVF. Many times I wonder why embryos do not stick and grow. Dr. Sher is discussing the role of the endometrium, the difference between implantation and miscarriage, and the three factors he considers when advising on treatment for implantation failure.

Meaghan Doyle is a genetic counsellor at Markham Fertility Centre in Ontario, Canada, specializing in infertility, preimplantation genetic testing, and preconception genetic counselling. After seeing patients who came from other clinics where access to a genetic counsellor was not available, she saw the negative impact this had on their care. She has since joined Instagram to help provide education on fertility genetics to help bridge this gap. Meaghan is passionate about genetics, and works together with patients so they can feel empowered to make decisions about their fertility treatment that are best for them. I'm delighted to have her join me on the podcast today to discuss mosaic embryos, genetics, and your fertility. We are going to discuss the success rates of transferring mosaic embryos, understanding the different rankings of mosaic embryos, and the misconceptions about mosaics.
