It seems like everyone is doing IVF. You hear about it in the news. You hear about it in different articles. You hear about it from your neighbors, your friends, so many different people are doing IVF. Everyone is giving different bits of information, but what are you supposed to believe? Today I want to share about the risks of IVF so you know what you're getting yourself into. IVF allows you to preserve embryos for the future, genetically test embryos, and it does offer the highest pregnancy rate of current fertility treatments. In this episode, I'm sharing: - The basics of IVF: fertility preservation and genetic testing - Managing the stress and emotional side of IVF treatment - The physical impact of IVF on your body - OHSS - The chances of pregnancy with IVF (it's not 100%) - IVF and chance of multiples (twins, triplets) - Myths about IVF Do you have questions about IVF, and what to expect?

In this episode, I'm joined by one of my favorite fellow fertility doctors - Dr. Natalie Crawford, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, co-founder of Fora Fertility in Austin, Texas, host of the As a Woman podcast, and author of the brand-new book The Fertility Formula. Dr. Crawford's journey into reproductive medicine is deeply personal: after experiencing four pregnancy losses and feeling dismissed by the medical system, she channeled that pain into a career dedicated to making sure no patient ever feels unheard or uninformed. Her book brings together the science of hormones, inflammation, cycle tracking, lifestyle, and fertility treatment in a way that is truly empowering and accessible. In our conversation, Natalie and I get honest about what modern fertility medicine often gets wrong, and what we can actually do about it. We explore how chronic inflammation is quietly hijacking fertility, how your menstrual cycle is far more than just a monthly event, and why the "it's just your age" or "it's just bad luck" narratives do a real disservice to patients. This is the kind of honest, science-backed, whole-body conversation I wish every fertility patient could have before they ever walked into a clinic. Read the full show notes on my website.

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with the incredible Dr. John Norian, a board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist with HRC Fertility in Pasadena and Rancho Cucamonga, California. Dr. Norian completed his residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, his fellowship at the NIH, and has served as a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Public Health Service, providing care to military families. He is a passionate advocate for anyone on a fertility journey, regardless of relationship status or anatomy. We dive deep into some of the most frustrating and complex scenarios that can arise during an IVF cycle: the ones that leave patients (and sometimes doctors!) searching for answers. Dr. Norian brings his signature warmth, humor, and clinical depth to each challenge, and I think you'll walk away from this episode feeling more informed, empowered, and a little less alone if you've faced any of these situations yourself.

Today on the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can create your own personalized IVF Plan. Have you ever used Google Maps and been redirected midway via a better route? Alternatively, maybe you're proactive in managing traffic and go directly to Waze to get you from point A to point B in the most time effective way? These apps are well-loved and widely used because they remove obstacles out of an otherwise potentially painful process, and they do so with data. I bring the beauty of Google Maps into my fertility care by serving as a personal navigator for every one of my patient's IVF care and talked about it here. We tell these apps where we want to go, they determine our starting point and formulate a plan. It's not a one-size fits-all-route; it is customized and updated in real-time to avoid the proverbial bumps along the way. I would get lost daily without this personalized navigation.

Secondary infertility affects so many of my patients. In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about what happens when someone has no trouble getting pregnant for baby number one and then struggles to conceive another child. People in this situation often don't know what to do because this is so new to them. I'm sharing everything you need to know about secondary infertility: the causes, treatments, and some of my tips. The truth is, secondary infertility is overwhelming and upsetting. You want to make sure that you have people around that support you, so I also encourage you to share this episode with your family and friends, so they know how to support you going through something that can be soul-crushing. I'm a very positive person, but I understand how hard it is to be a fertility patient.

I'm joined by extraordinary women who are changing the way women understand our fertility cycles: Toni Weschler, internationally respected women's health educator and author of the landmark book Taking Charge of Your Fertility (translated into 12 languages), and Sabrina Nowicki, engineer, product designer, fertility awareness method practitioner, and CEO of Cyclicity - the new app built as the perfect companion to Toni's book. What makes this collaboration even more special? Toni is Sabrina's aunt, and their bond has been at the heart of this project from the very beginning. We are talking about why so many women have never been taught the basics of their own cycles, and how the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) offers a science-backed, no-algorithm, no-black-box approach to understanding your body. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating a fertility treatment cycle, or simply want to take charge of your reproductive health, this conversation will change the way you think about your cycle: from drama to data. Read the full show notes on my website. In this episode, we cover: What the Fertility Awareness Method actually is, and how it's completely different from the outdated rhythm methodThe two primary fertility signs (basal body temperature and cervical fluid) and why the symptothermal method is more reliable than tracking one sign aloneHow Cyclicity was built to mirror the exact terminology and rules in Taking Charge of Your Fertility making it a true companion to the bookWhy Cyclicity uses no predictive algorithms and gives you full transparency into how each day of your cycle is classifiedHow FAM charting can help fertility patients bring richer, more actionable data to their doctor, potentially expediting diagnosis and treatmentThe common mistakes beginners make when starting to chart, and how the app is designed to support learning and reduce errorsCyclicity's commitment to user privacy: self-funded, no data selling, no ads, with the option to store your data only on your phone or personal iCloud Resources: Cyclicity app (Apple App Store): https://www.cyclisity.com/Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler: tcoyf.comCycle Savvy by Toni Weschler (for teens): available onlineCyclicity on Instagram: @cyclisityCyclicity on TikTok: @cyclisityappSabrina Nowicki on Instagram & TikTok: @wanderingsabrina Buy Dr. Aimee's Book "The Egg Whisperer Way" on Amazon!

On today's podcast episode, I'm talking about preparing for embryo transfer. I find that it's helpful to think about embryo transfer the same way you might think about having a very special guest over for dinner. What are you going to do if you have a very special person over? You're going to make sure everything is absolutely perfect. When it comes to preparing for an embryo transfer, you want to take the same approach. Your metaphorical home in the house analogy is your uterus. The devastation of doing more tests and finding out that something might be wrong that you have to fix is kind of a pain, but the devastation of going through a transfer that doesn't work is also pretty darn awful. Because I work so hard to help families, if I can do anything to prevent someone from not experiencing the devastation of a negative embryo transfer, I'm going to do everything possible to clean up that house and make sure it's perfect. What I recommend is that people do 3 tests before embryo transfer to make sure your uterus is absolutely perfect prior to your embryo transfer.They are: Hysteroscopy Saline Infusion, Sonogram, and Hysterosalpingogram.

In early 2019, Gina, Jen, and Maya came together as mamas on a mission to transform the landscape of embryo donation. Each of them had a different fertility journey that had a connection to embryo donation, and wanted to make embryo donation better understood, more inclusive, and more accessible. And, they wanted to bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and child well being. I'm so excited to have them on the show. In this episode (which is Part 1 of 2), we're covering donating embryos. Gina and Jen will be talking about options for people who want to donate their embryos, including the psychological considerations, and what patients should know before donating embryos to another family.

In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with my friend and fellow "Aimee," Aimee Raupp - bestselling author, fertility expert, and licensed acupuncturist who has spent over 20 years helping women around the world improve their fertility using an integrative approach that blends Western science with Eastern wisdom. Aimee has just released an updated edition of her landmark book Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, with modern protocols designed especially for women in their late thirties and forties. She also shares her own deeply personal fertility journey, including conceiving naturally at 40 and navigating a devastating miscarriage at 45. Together we dig into what's really driving the fertility crisis and it's not just age. We explore why the word "infertile" needs to be retired, how environmental toxins and chronic stress are quietly disrupting reproductive health, and why unexplained infertility is really just an unexplored diagnosis. We also talk about the powerful role of joy, nervous system regulation, and the latest research showing the ovaries are wired directly to the nervous system. Plus, we discuss cutting-edge options like ovarian PRP rejuvenation and how to create a "no regret plan" for your fertility journey.

As a reproductive endocrinologist and miscarriage expert, I'm sharing the framework I created as part of my Miscarriage Revolution so you can feel empowered, informed, and ready to move forward. Read the full show notes on my website. This episode covers the A.N.G.E.L. workup: a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to understanding why a miscarriage happened and what you can do next. We talk about the role of age, autoimmune conditions, uterine anatomy, nutrition, genetics, endocrinology, and lifestyle factors. I also walk you through how to collect pregnancy tissue for genetic testing, why you should never blame yourself, and how both female and male partners play a role in preventing future losses.

I am so excited to share this conversation with you. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mark Ratner, Chief Science Officer at Theralogix, to talk about a topic I've become incredibly passionate about: NAD+ and its role in egg quality and fertility. If you've been wondering what NAD+ actually is, why your eggs need it, and whether supplementation could make a real difference in your IVF or egg freezing outcomes, this is a must-listen. We get into the science of how NAD+ and sirtuins work together in our cells, why their decline with age is such a big deal for egg health, and the emerging research — from mouse studies to a promising new human trial — suggesting that boosting NAD+ levels could improve fertilization and pregnancy rates. I also share a personal story about a patient whose results completely blew me away after she started NAD+ supplementation on her own. This is the kind of conversation that gets me fired up about the future of fertility medicine.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ramy Ghayda, an experienced urologist and the Chief Medical Officer at Legacy, to dive deep into the world of male fertility. Dr. Ghayda brings his expertise in urology and male infertility to discuss why it's "always nice to have sperm on ice,"a phrase I say often because preserving male fertility is just as important as egg freezing. We explore Legacy's revolutionary approach to men's reproductive health, a digital fertility clinic that provides everything from at-home semen analysis and sperm freezing to DNA fragmentation testing, telehealth consultations, and nutritional support: all designed to fill the gap in fertility care that has traditionally focused only on women. Throughout our conversation, Dr. Ghayda and I discuss the alarming decline in male fertility rates over the past few decades and what's causing it; from environmental toxins and endocrine-disrupting chemicals to lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and sleep. We talk about why fertility should be considered the sixth vital sign and how infertile men face higher risks of chronic diseases later in life. Dr. Ghayda also shares his passion for breaking the taboos around male infertility, rebalancing the emotional workload in couples struggling to conceive, and helping men understand that they are 50% of the fertility equation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in optimizing their reproductive health or supporting their partner through the fertility journey.

Does sperm really matter? If you tuned into the conversation with Dr. Paul Turek and I earlier this week, you'll know that of course it matters! It truly does take both sperm and an egg to make a baby. Today I'll review the sperm question a bit, and explain why it matters. AND, I'll give you a lot more info about how to improve sperm quality. Here's the thing: I know that guys want to hear what they want to hear. They have selective listening. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I had someone email me recently and say "My husband's sperm tested out GREAT, and when we went over the results with the doctor we heard two different things. He thinks he heard our doctor say that it means he can just keep drinking, smoking, and enjoying marijuana and doesn't need to make any lifestyle changes. I heard something very different, which was that he should still cut back until we are pregnant. Can you help settle this for us?" And while it's an unpopular answer (at least with the guys), my response is: Men should cut back or abstain from drinking, and smoking (marijuana too) if you're TTC. Here are a few of the things I suggest to anyone bringing the sperm side of the equation to the baby making situation: - consider freezing your own sperm for future use when you are young. - get in the best shape of your life if you're trying to conceive. Sperm matters, and men's health is directly related to their sperm quality. - take some prenatal vitamins. Yes, really. Many of the same supplements that I recommend for egg quality also are great for sperm quality. - cut back on smoking, drinking, and drug use. Marijuana negatively impacts sperm. - don't cook your balls: avoid hot tubs, using your laptop on your lap, and other situations that may create high temps for the area. - find ways to cut back on stress, if you live a stressful life. Mindfulness and meditation are great for everyone. Read the full transcript and article about this at my website. Do you have questions about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.
