How to Prevent Infertility
The Egg Whisperer Show
I’ve yet to meet someone that dreamed of the day they could become my patient. You may dream of your wedding day. Or maybe you may fantasize about your next vacation destination, or the day you buy a house or seeing your future child graduate from high school. But I’m guessing that when you think of those milestones in life, my bet is that nowhere in that world are you thinking about me — a fertility doctor? It’s just not happening. And here’s the thing — while I love my patients and have been known to tell a good joke or two, it’s my honest hope that I never have to meet...

Ten Things Fertility Patients Should Stop Doing
The Egg Whisperer Show
As a fertility doctor, I help my patients create the family they want, or preserve their fertility for whatever the future may hold. Part of why I love what I do is that I get to understand the whole person that I treat. Not just their body, but their emotional well-being too. We can’t look at humans with tunnel vision. Nor can we look at fertility that way either. The act of going through fertility treatment is as emotional as it is physical. Today on the podcast, I’m sharing the ten things to STOP doing if you’re a fertility patient. Would you like to learn more about IVF? The...

info_outlineAs 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.
