Everything You Need to Know Before Picking an Egg Donor
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...

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!

7 Things About the Trigger Shot You Didn't Know
The Egg Whisperer Show
Get the full show notes: I often tell my patients that we should rename the Trigger Shot, the super unicorn sparkle shot, the egg launcher shot, or the EGG-cellerator shot.

The Egg Whisperer Show

I want to teach you how NOT to be my patient. Of course, there are exceptions to that statement. But in general,...

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.
