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)
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...
