The Egg Whisperer Show

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!

Today, on The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm sharing a video hosted by Dr. Nabil Arrach.  In this video, you'll get a behind the scenes look at my work and learn about some of what's coming up (The Egg Whisperer App!) and how I originally got the name "The Egg Whisperer."   Plus, I am sharing about how I work with patients. I know that I approach things a little differently than many doctors. I come from a family of OB GYNs (my grandfather and father), and I love being able to treat patients the way I would want my own family to be treated. This means that sometimes, patients come to my house to get shots. It means that I talk to people about what happens if the treatment we have planned doesn't work for them. Each treatment is personalized for each patient, and each patient gets my undivided attention.   Because for me, it all comes down to love. Fertility patients want to bring more love into the world, and I feel I am the luckiest person around, knowing that I get to help them do just that.   If you want to learn more, I invite you to tune in. And, I want to give Dr. Arrach and his team a very special thank you including me on their show!   You can find Progenesis Academy by clicking here.   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.

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show, my dear friend Dr. Jenna McCarthy is joining me to talk all about the most common IVF mistakes. Our intent is to share as much information as we can with you so you’ll go into an IVF cycle aware, empowered and feeling comfortable with what is going on. We want people to avoid these mistakes and also hear that they're common, they happen, and there’s always something you can do if you’re dealing with an issue.⠀ We’re talking about troubleshooting needle and syringe issues, the importance of not eating or drinking before your egg retrieval, timing of the trigger shot, sperm emergencies, and medication dosage issues and more. We’re basically talking about everything we’ve seen in our combined 20+ years of doing IVF. ⠀ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

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.

I am so excited to have Dr. Stephanie Fein joining me today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast. We are talking about a topic that can be quite sensitive: optimizing your fertility through weight loss. There’s no better person to talk about this today than Stephanie. She earned her medical degree from UC Irvine, completed her internal medicine residency at UCLA where she also received a master’s in public health. She’s passionate about weight loss and motherhood and loves to help women optimize their fertility through weight loss. She’s sharing her philosophy and perspective on weight loss and fertility, which is to make it guilt-free, deprivation-free, and frustration-free. She is also sharing how weight, insulin and inflammation have an impact on your hormones when you are trying to conceive, and we talk about the connection between IVF success rates and weight loss.

Today on the podcast, I’m delighted to be speaking to Dr. Lucky Sekhon, or as many of her patients call her, Dr. Lucky. She is a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York, a large New York City based IVF center. She was born and raised in Toronto, Canada and moved to NYC to complete her OB/GYN residency training. We’re going to be talking about genetic testing & fertility, and everything you need to know before trying to conceive.   Genetic testing can sound kind of intimidating to people, and it shouldn’t be! Genetics play a huge role in our fertility, and like I always say, “the more you know, the better things will go.” Dr. Lucky is here to tell us more about it. I feel lucky ;-) to have her on the show, and so honored that she’s here to share her wisdom with us.   Read the full show notes and transcript on my website.   Follow on Apple Podcasts Follow on Spotify   Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.
