How to Survive Your HSG Procedure show art How to Survive Your HSG Procedure

The Egg Whisperer Show

This episode is all about how to survive your HSG. Otherwise known as a hysterosalpingogram. That’s a big scary word so let’s break it down! Hystero = uterus Salpingo = tube Gram = picture of Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is basically a picture of your fallopian tubes. I like to think of the fallopian tube as the embryo transport system. It’s where the egg and sperm come together and it’s how the embryo will travel to the uterus. Part of fertility screening is not just for FSH, estradiol, and AMH for women. It’s not just to see how fast the swimmers are swimming. It’s also important...

5 Novel Treatments for PMOS (PCOS) show art 5 Novel Treatments for PMOS (PCOS)

The Egg Whisperer Show

PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and it was recently renamed to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome).  With the old name, many people interpretted it to mean you have big cysts on your ovaries, but that's not true at all. When I heard PCOS, I think of it as a call to, "Please 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...

More Episodes
Most fertility treatment hinges on the strategic use of drugs to help the body be as fertile as possible. My goal is to give each of my patients a personalized fertility plan with custom calendars of what to do, which drug to take, and when.

Today on the podcast, I’m walking through fertility calendars (keeping things confidential, of course) and talking about the drugs I commonly use to give my patients the best chance at fertility success. 

Do you have questions about IVF?
The next live class call is on Monday, June 15, 2026 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom.
