Fertility Support: Everything You Need to Know for Yourself and Others
The Egg Whisperer Show
This episode is all about how to care for yourself, and includes loving tips on how family and friends can support someone in fertility treatment, too. Self-care is anything but selfish. It can come in the form of setting healthy boundaries in relationships, having clear communication or simply giving ourselves a break. As a fertility patient when we prioritize these things it helps us bring forward our best selves for every situation and makes the journey more supportive. In this Egg Whisperer show, I share suggestions for patients and friends and family members of patients to help their...

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. It doesn’t matter if it’s one month of trying or 2 years…. “Trying to get pregnant” can be painful, and the phrase itself is defeatist. The mindset it establishes is one based on fear vs. love. I like to lead from a place of love, and encourage my patients to think positively. For that reason, I...

We'll also be talking more about her book, which came out this year, titled "The Anatomy of Anxiety." Dr. Ellen Vora...

Getting the Most Out of Your First Visit with a Fertility Doctor
The Egg Whisperer Show
Regardless of who you see for fertility care, you deserve the best—personalized treatment. I realize that not everyone can come to see me, and I won’t be around forever. This information is a valuable resource as you begin your fertility journey, whoever it is with and whenever it takes place. The inspiration behind this topic? Well—it started with some snooping. Several times each day, I hear my receptionist answer the phone and new patients on the other end asking what they can expect at a new patient consult. The mystery is about to be revealed! Do you have questions about...

Whether you’re local to me (San Francisco) or halfway around the world, it doesn’t matter.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About Fertility if You Are Over 40
The Egg Whisperer Show
Talking about your fertility when you’re over 40 is not easy, but I want women to stop apologizing for desiring a family. Times have changed. It’s okay to want a baby over 40. It’s not crazy, nor selfish. My approach is for all of my patients to be given their best chance at a healthy pregnancy in the shortest period of time. How do we do this? It starts by not believing everything you read. There’s an international headline I saw recently on BBC news that fertility doctors are exploiting older women and “dealing false hope”. Do I believe that fertility doctors...
