The Egg Whisperer Show

Amanda Troxler has been practicing family formation law since 2013. She represents hundreds of Intended Parents, Donors, and Surrogates a year. Additionally, Amanda has personal experience in third party assisted reproduction, having been an egg donor. In today's show we are going to explain what family formation law is. As a fertility patient, it's important that you understand some of the basic legal pieces that you might want to have in place for your journey, whether that be for IVF, or if you're going to be using donor eggs, donor sperm, or using a gestational carrier. I very much love Amanda's thoughtful and caring approach to making family formation law approachable. As she says, "healthy families are formed through honest communication and centering the needs of the future child." Amanda received her J.D. from UCLA law on a Dean's Merit Scholarship in 2012. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern University in 2008. Amanda is a member of the Academy of California Adoption-ART Lawyers ("ACAL"), Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy ("SEEDS"), and American Society of Reproductive Medicine ("ASRM").

Just being pregnant can put your anxiety into overdrive—even if you haven't had any fertility issues or faced a pregnancy loss. Everything in your world is changing, including your body, your relationships with other people, and of course, your future! It can be nerve wracking, and it's also an amazing and wonderful time to embrace. I know that for women who have faced a pregnancy loss or infertility that pregnancy, especially the first trimester, can be really really challenging. Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I'm sharing an interview with Dr. Alice Domar. She is a cognitive behavior psychologist and a pioneer in the field of Mind/Body medicine. As executive director of the Domar Center for Mind/Body Health at Boston IVF, and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, she conducts on-going ground-breaking research which focuses on the relationship between stress and infertility.

I'm speaking with Dr. Aaron Spitz. He's not only a urologist specializing male sexual function, he's also the author of The Penis Book.
