The Future of Fertility Care is Now

The Future of Fertility Care is Now
I’m sharing my vision for the future of fertility care, and why it’s time for a major shift in how we support people who are trying to conceive. Fertility struggles affect 1 in 6 couples worldwide, yet far too many people face stigma, delays in diagnosis, and fragmented care. I believe we need a new model, one that puts patients first, embraces technology, and recognizes fertility as a vital part of our overall health. I’ll walk you through how I think fertility care can evolve to be more proactive, inclusive, and empowering. From early testing and education to AI-driven support and more human-centered clinics, this episode is all about imagining what’s possible, and how we can get there. In this episode, I cover: - Why we need a patient-first approach to fertility care - The role of early testing and fertility awareness in better outcomes - How technology and AI can support personalized treatment - What inclusive, stigma-free care looks like - My vision for the next generation of fertility clinics .

Four Things You Should Know About Starting a PCOS Revolution (HOPE Syndrome)
On today's Egg Whisperer Show podcast episode, I'm sharing the four things you need to know about PCOS.

5 Novel Treatments for PCOS
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?

When is it Time to See a Fertility Expert?
06/11/2025
When is it Time to See a Fertility Expert?
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. If you’re over 35: schedule an appointment if you’ve been trying for 6 months. 2. If you’re over 37: consider seeing a fertility specialist (and not wait before seeking professional advice) to get your TUSHY checked. 3. If you have irregular cycles, make an appointment to see what may be causing that irregularity.. 4. Painful periods. If you think your periods are more painful than average, or you are worried about the pain you’re experiencing, you may suffer from endometriosis, which can make it more difficult to get pregnant. A fertility expert can help with a diagnosis and treatment.. 5. Heavy bleeding. If your periods seem especially heavy, this may be a sign that there is something blocking your ability to get pregnant. 6. Male factor or sperm issues. It takes an egg and a sperm to make a baby so if your male partner or sperm donor has a chronic medical problems, is drinking, smoking or partaking in drugs, or is overweight, a fertility specialist can help determine if that is playing a role. Do you have questions about IVF, and what to expect?

DOR Decreased NOT Depleted Ovarian Reserve
06/10/2025
DOR Decreased NOT Depleted Ovarian Reserve
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 episode, I'll be sharing more about DOR. At some point, every one with a uterus will go through it. I'll talk about when egg reserves tend to decline, what tests you can take to determine your egg reserve levels, what you can do to keep your eggs healthy, and when you might consider using donor eggs.

Top 5 Fertility Trends and Products for Your Fertility Journey with Sara Jensen of Hugh and Grace

Top 5 Fertility Trends and Products for Your Fertility Journey with Sara Jensen of Hugh and Grace
This interview was originally hosted by Sara Jensen of Hugh & Grace. We are diving into the Top 5 Fertility Trends I’ve seen over the past few years. We are also talking about the importance of being mindful of the products that you use and the role of toxins in our environment on infertility. I love that Sara is so dedicated to promoting holistic hormonal health and that she is as passionate about her mission at Hugh & Grace as I am about helping anyone who wants to bring more love into the world. You know that my goal is to empower people to understand their fertility diagnosis, explore treatment options, and help people avoid those heartbreaking moments where they say “I wish I would have known this sooner.” Together, Sara and I are on a mission to spread love and knowledge far and wide. Let's dive into the top five fertility trends that are shaping the landscape: 1. Openness & Sharing: More and more individuals are bravely sharing their fertility journeys with loved ones, fostering a supportive community of understanding and empathy. 2. Egg Freezing: Egg freezing isn't solely about finding the perfect partner anymore—it's about taking charge of your fertility journey, regardless of relationship status. 3. IVF Beyond Infertility: IVF is no longer reserved solely for those facing infertility; it's become a powerful tool for preserving fertility and empowering individuals and couples alike. 4. Delayed Parenthood: With life's milestones taking precedence, many are embarking on their parenthood journey later in life, prioritizing education, career, and financial stability. 5. Surrogacy Spotlight: Surrogacy is gaining traction, especially among women over 45 who are determined to expand their families. Sara's genuine passion for holistic wellness and her understanding of how the products we use every day can impact your fertility shines through in everything she does. I love that Hugh & Grace has created fertility friendly products for skin, health, and home. AND, I’m super excited that they’ve just released a Glow and Grow Set that offers a great introduction to their best fertility supporting products.

New Treatments for Recurrent Implantation Failure with guest Dr. Jenna Turocy
In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, Dr. Jenna Turocy is joining me to talk about new treatment options for recurrent implantation failure. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is determined when embryos of good quality fail to implant following several in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycles. The good news is that there is treatment for this, and Dr. Turocy has been researching it. The types of treatments that Dr. Jenna has studied include: 💙 intrauterine administration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells ahead of embryo transfer (which helps the uterus accept the embryo) 💙 intrauterine platelet rich plasma before embryo transfer (which helps the tissue of the uterus grow and rejuvenate) 💙 subcutaneous granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (which treats a thin endometrium) You all know that I love sharing the latest in technology, especially when it can help fertility patients get and stay pregnant. Thank you, Jenna, for joining me and sharing these novel treatments for RIF. Thank you for joining me, Jenna!

Everything You Need to Know Before Picking an Egg Donor
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 is a program that helps young egg donors save some eggs for themselves should they need them, while helping another family conceive when they can’t on their own. Suffice to say, I don’t want anyone to look back at their egg donation and wish they’d known more. Here is your chance — I want to give you all the information I have so that you’re equipped with the knowledge to make the best decision for your personal situation.

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.

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.

10 Things to Avoid if Trying to Conceive
Read the full show notes: Last year in the United States a baby was born every 8 seconds. That‘s roughly 3.8 Million babies born last year alone! You don’t have to be a fertility doctor to know what that means. Millions of people just like you were trying to conceive. Research tells us that most couples conceive within six cycles of timed intercourse, but many others (roughly 10% of couples) are struggling with fertility. Here’s the funny thing about what I do. I want to teach you how NOT to be my patient. Of course, there are exceptions to that statement. But in general, I’d much prefer to share with you what I’ve learned about preparing for pregnancy in hopes that it makes your journey to parenthood easier. A journey that goes without needing to see me. Do you have questions about IVF, and what to expect?

When it Comes to Your Fertility: What is Fact vs. Fiction?

When it Comes to Your Fertility: What is Fact vs. Fiction?
Read the full show notes: I know there are a lot of fertility myths out there, and some can be downright perplexing if you’re trying to do everything you can to have a successful pregnancy. And, when you’ve been a fertility doctor for a while, let me tell you, you will hear it all. So in this episode, I’m tackling TWENTY of the most common fertility myths in a little thing I like to call “Fertility: Fact or Fiction.” I love talking about these types of things because once you know the truth, you also have a better idea of what may be happening in your own body. I think most people now realize that sperm does in fact matter when you’re TTC. But, do you need both of your fallopian tubes? Is marijuana safe when you’re TTC? Can someone born without a uterus have a uterine transplant? Is an ovarian cyst something to be concerned about? Of course, these questions matter, and I want everyone to feel comfortable asking their doctor about them (and for answers to the above: no, no, yes, no). Do you have questions about IVF, and what to expect? The next live class call is on Monday, June 16, 2025 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom. Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America’s most well known fertility doctors. Her success rate at baby-making is what gives future parents hope when all hope is lost.

At Home Insemination with Mosie Baby
Imagine an insemination kit with a syringe specifically designed for the female body that you can use with your partner or sperm donor in the comfort of your own home. I'm delighted to have Maureen Brown, co-founder of Mosie Baby joining me on the this week to talk about the home insemination kit that she and her husband designed after being faced with infertility.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ As you know, I really love innovative products and ideas that help people reach their goals. Anything that helps demystify fertility and helps women get pregnant is a win in my book. What I love about the Mosie Baby story is that Maureen and her husband decided to create a product that they could not find and wished existed during their fertility journey. We talk about how the kit was invented, her own experience using it, how it works, and about some of her favorite success stories. Would you like to learn more about IVF?

How to Prevent Infertility

How to Prevent Infertility
I’ve yet to meet someone that dreamed of the day they could become my patient. You may dream of your wedding day. Or maybe you may fantasize about your next vacation destination, or the day you buy a house or seeing your future child graduate from high school. But I’m guessing that when you think of those milestones in life, my bet is that nowhere in that world are you thinking about me — a fertility doctor? It’s just not happening. And here’s the thing — while I love my patients and have been known to tell a good joke or two, it’s my honest hope that I never have to meet you. That’s because deep down, I want to PREVENT infertility. My job as a doctor is to do my best to ensure I educate you enough that many of you will never need to visit me. Of course, many of you may become my patients, and I truly do love the work I get to do. Today on the podcast, I’m making the bold move to outline how you can go about not becoming my patient. If you follow Patagonia clothing company, it’s sort of like how they have ads that say, “Don’t Buy This Shirt.” They are a company that’s about sustainability. They don’t want you to buy another shirt. Well, I guess I’m the Patagonia of fertility medicine. I don’t want you to need my services. Do you have a diagnosis of "unexplained infertility" and want to get to the bottom of what's going on? Dr. Aimee will explain the 5 tests you need to get a diagnosis before treatment.

The Truth About Fertility Drugs

The Truth About Fertility Drugs
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.
