The Egg Whisperer Show

Recently, Kelly sent a question in to Ask the Egg Whisperer. She is 31 and lives in California. Here's what she has to say, "I'm in the middle of an IVF cycle and I was deemed a poor responder. My AMH is 3.1. My follicle count was 27 at baseline. I only had nine follicles that were responding on day eight. I was told is due to my BMI, but I feel like the protocol just wasn't aggressive enough. I'm thinking of canceling and advocating for a new protocol. What would you suggest for me? I want three to four children and our diagnosis is male factor infertility. My husband is 38, and has 2% morphology. I have one blocked tube and was told it's scar tissue, but it's not in hydrosalpinx. I love the show and I have learned so much." You can tune in to hear the answer to Kelly's question, along with other listener questions.

Recently, Piper sent in a question to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here's what she asked, "My wife and I have learned so much. I've had two failed frozen embryo transfers, reciprocal IVF with my wife's embryos. They were poor quality day three embryos. And my wife's latest retrieval yielded three PGT normal embryos. Would you recommend a medicated FET or more of a natural FET with no birth control pills, ovulation trigger shot, and progesterone supplementation only if necessary? Why? What levels do you like a progesterone estrogen to be on the day of the FET? We are so excited and we feel like we actually have a shot with, with these gorgeous new embryos. Thank you so much for your time. You're the best. " You can tune in to hear the answer to Piper's question, along with other listener questions.

Recently, Jessica sent in a question to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here's what she asked, "In terms of adding HGH to a protocol, does it add any benefit to do it during stims, or is it better to prime with it before your IVF cycle starts? My doctor's having me take Aygestin five days after ovulation for 10 days, then we'll schedule my baseline. Can I try naturally this month? I hate wasting a month and possibly a good egg." There are lots of ways of doing HGH priming, and I am sharing what I do with my patients as an answer to Jessica's question. You can tune in to hear the answer, along with other listener questions.

Recently, Amy sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here is her question, "We just finished our fifth IVF cycle and we finally have two PGS normal embryos. I am in shock. We're preparing for a December transfer. I had two transfers in the past. The first one resulted in my son in 2017. And unfortunately the second one resulted in a miscarriage at eight weeks. My new fertility doctor wants to stick with the same protocol, since both of my two transfers were technically successful. I just turned 38 and I do have mild endometriosis. I had a surgery in 2013 to confirm that, so this makes me nervous. Should I continue with the same protocol? Is there anything else I should do before transfer?"
