Tips for Top Mental Health for Fertility Patients with guest Dr. Anna Glezer
The Egg Whisperer Show
Today I’m joined by Dr. and we are talking all about how to stay in top mental health as a fertility patient. Fertility patients know that treatment feels like being on a roller coaster. It's a time that can be full of optimism and disappointment, and because it can feel isolating, I include "Therapist" in my foundations of building your own Fertility TEAM (Therapist, Eating healthy and Exercise, Acupuncture, Mindfulness and Meditation are the basics). I love that Dr. Glezer explains how to approach the whole picture of mental health: getting support, taking...

What is IUI? History of IUI and Explanation of How IUI Works with guest Dr. Geoffrey Sher
The Egg Whisperer Show
Dr. Geoffrey Sher is back, and we are talking about Intrauterine Insemination, or IUI. In 1982, Dr. Sher and his colleagues were the first to wash sperm, and then put it through a centrifuge process.

ReceptivaDX Test and How it Can Help You with guest Dr. Bruce Lessey
The Egg Whisperer Show
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. ...

How to Deal with a Negative Pregnancy Test
The Egg Whisperer Show
Is your pregnancy test negative, again? Let’s get real. It sucks when we do everything we can in our power to make something happen, and it just doesn’t. If you’ve ever wanted to get pregnant, and have seen a negative result on the test, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

I like to lead from a place of love, and encourage my patients to think positively. For that reason, I...
