5 Novel Treatments for PCOS show art 5 Novel Treatments for PCOS

The Egg Whisperer Show

PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome. Many people interpret it to mean you have big cysts on your ovaries, but that's not true at all. When I hear PCOS I think of it as a call to, &ldquoPlease Confirm this Ovary Syndrome”. So much is misunderstood about PCOS! Women are often told, “oh you don’t need to worry about it until you’re ready to have babies.” That could not be further from the truth. Today on the podcast, I'm talking about 5 novel treatments for PCOS. Would you like to learn more about IVF? The next live class call is on Monday, June 16, 2025 at 4pm PST, where...

The Egg Whisperer Show

If you’re eager to get pregnant and are wondering if it’s time to see a fertility specialist, you might be right. There are a number of factors to take into account when deciding whether it’s time to see a fertility specialist. Of course there are a lot more details about each of these items in the podcast episode today, but here is a sneak peek of the 6 reason that may be telling you it’s time to see a fertility expert:   1.

DOR Decreased NOT Depleted Ovarian Reserve show art DOR Decreased NOT Depleted Ovarian Reserve

The Egg Whisperer Show

There are a lot misunderstandings around what the term DOR means. Often times when people first hear about DOR, they believe that that the "D" of DOR means "depleted" ovarian reserve. This is not true! To set the record straight, DOR means "decreased" ovarian reserve. The other thing that happens when the word "decreased" gets mixed up for "depleted," is that many people next assume that getting a DOR diagnosis means that they will need to use donor eggs in order to get pregnant. This is also not true! With DOR, you still have eggs, you just don't have as many eggs as you once did. In this...

The Egg Whisperer Show

Whether you’re an egg donor now, if you’re considering it, or you know someone that is — I’m glad you’re here. Young women are donating eggs at the time they are most fertile, often times not realizing the implications of what that means. I’ve had patients come to me in their 40s without enough healthy eggs of their own to conceive. When they share with me that they themselves donated their young and healthy eggs in their 20s or 30s, but that none are available for them, I feel frustrated and sad for them. Frustrated enough that I’m doing something about it. Freeze & Share...

When you're pregnant after IVF, you’re likely beaming with joy while at the same time trying to keep negative, worrisome thoughts in check.  If you’re like so many of the fertility patients I see, then you may be hyper-aware of your body, emotions and sensitive to the what-ifs of pregnancy after fertility treatment.  Now you’re pregnant, and yes, you may have dreamed of this moment for quite some time. But it’s okay not to love every second of being pregnant. You are not alone!  And you do not have to manage these feelings by yourself or with the help of Google (In...

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.
