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.

Cheryl sent in a great question to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She is 39. Here's what she asked,   "Thank you for your show, Dr. Aimee. I had two IVF cycles, but my egg maturation rate is very low (54%, 10%).    My AHM level is 0.67. My doctor did not find any signs of endometriosis, but some signs of adenomyosis.  I saw there are four potential reasons for low maturation rates: 1) my age; 2) wrong IVF stimulation protocol; 3) endometriosis; 4) reproductive autoimmune failure.  Are there any tests that I can do to figure this out?" You can tune in for more information about adenomyosis and endometriosis, and you can also hear the answers to other listener submitted questions.   Follow on Apple Podcasts Follow on Spotify   Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

Recently, Eliza sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here's what she asked, "I have chronic endometritis, and I am finding very little on what the correct treatment process looks like. I’m already on a 2nd repeat course of antibiotics after 2nd biopsy still came back positive for CD 138 stromal cells.  My MD is suggesting to go straight into a transfer after second round of antibiotics without an additional biopsy. I’m afraid I may have an antibiotic resistant form and am wondering if you ever perform endometrial scarring or D&C to treat it?  Would you recommend to have a confirmation that the endometritis is gone before implanting? Also I am already on depot lupron 2nd month for endometriosis. Is it a concern that I will not get a period that would shed the bad cells somehow before a transfer? Would love your input on how you deal with resistant endometritis and implantation outcomes."

Today, I'm delighted to be joined on The Egg Whisperer Show by Marc Sherman of Organic Conceptions, a company he founded after a 20-year career in corporate America. The idea came after he and his wife Erin struggled with infertility, decided to adopt, and then unexpectedly found themselves pregnant. Realizing that this phenomenon occurs regularly, they decided to conduct the first-ever research project to better understand the insights, patterns, and commonalities from similar stories. They partnered with Ph.D. Kate Webster and conducted a multi-year study that uncovered 9 key emotional transitions that were common across these stories, and that are required for conception. Their program, The Journey to Parenthood & Beyond, helps couples identify, name, address, and overcome the suffering involved when struggling to conceive, resulting in healthier patients and better outcomes.

I'm so excited to have Dr. Bruce Lessey of ReceptivaDX join me on the podcast. Dr. Lessey has dedicated his research life to studying the lining of the uterus and more specifically, how to help embryos stick better. His research led to the discovery of the role of BCL-6 in the lining of the uterus as a diagnostic test patients can have done by their doctors to guide them toward the best protocol for transfer success. The test isn’t for women just going through IVF either. This test can also be done to help women get an endometriosis diagnosis without going through a laparoscopy surgery. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ In addition to being a Fertility Doctor at The Fertility Center of the Carolinas, in Greenville SC, Dr. Lessey is also the scientific advisor for Cicero DX. His work on identifying BLC6 became the key component of the Receptivadx test. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ I’m delighted to have him on the show! Many IVF patients have benefited greatly from the Receptivadx test, and I’m looking forward to asking him a lot of questions about his work. ⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

Recently, Jess sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here is what she had to say, "I’m 41, have been trying for 7 years to have a baby. My husband is 39 and has tested fine, no issues. We’ve went through two IVF rounds in 2018. My husband and I have tried basically every fertility treatment and have not yet had a baby. I got pregnant out of the blue in 2017 but it ended up being a blighted embryo. I have uterine didelphys (double uterus) with a complete septum and two cervixes.  Based on all the tests over the years, low ovarian reserve seems to be the main issue. I’ve never received a formal diagnosis. It’s always been “unexplained”. Do you have any resources or guidance you can please point me to?"
