Episode Summary:In this episode of the Conceive Baby Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Lisa Lee, Scientific Director at Thrive Fertility to discuss what happens after egg collection during an IVF cycle. I speak a lot about the importance of creating healthy eggs and sperm but today we delve into what happens after. What happens after your precious egg and sperm are collected? Dr Lee shares her experience and insights into the intricate process, explaining what happens to eggs and sperm after collection, how they are fertilized, and the factors influencing embryo viability. Dr Lee demystifies grading (AA or CC) and shares her insights into laboratory technologies enhancing fertilization. Dr Lee also emphasizes the importance of your health in the 90 days leading up to ovulation, when egg and sperm are developing, to optimise both egg and sperm quality at collection, as well as sharing her insights into the technologies and techniques used to enhance embryo development after collection. This in depth episode offers invaluable insights for anyone considering or undergoing an IVF cycle.Key Takeaways:Role of an Embryologist: Embryologists are crucial in the IVF process, from handling eggs and sperm to fertilization and embryo culture. They are often referred to as the "actual baby makers."Egg and Sperm Quality: The quality of eggs and sperm is paramount. Factors such as age and lifestyle significantly impact these gametes, influencing the success of fertilization.Embryo Grading: Embryos are graded (AA, BB, CC, etc.) based on the quality of the inner cell mass and the trophectoderm. This ranking helps embryologists choose the best embryos for transfer.Advanced Techniques: Cutting-edge techniques like ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), laser-assisted hatching, and various sperm preparation methods are used to optimize fertilization and embryo development.Communication and Trust: Patients should actively communicate with their medical team and can trust in the regulated and high-standard processes of IVF clinics.Timestamp Summary0:03 The Role of an Embryologist in the IVF Process6:20 The Crucial Role of Embryologists in the IVF Process15:07 Embryo Development Milestones and Grading for Successful Pregnancy20:06 Understanding Embryo Grading and Its Impact on IVF Success23:41 Advanced IVF Technologies Mimic Natural Body Processes30:33 Navigating the IVF Journey with Trust and Proactive QuestionsAbout the Guest:Dr. Lisa Lee is the Scientific Director at Thrive Fertility, with a distinguished career spanning multiple fertility clinics across Hong Kong and Australia.

Jessica Manns, an embryologist and creator of the Instagram account 'Explaining IVF', discusses the complex procedures involved in an IVF cycle and the importance of understanding the process. She explains that IVF stands for in vitro fertilisation and involves retrieving eggs from a woman's body, fertilising them with sperm in a lab, and transferring the resulting embryos into the woman's uterus. Jessica also discusses the role of ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and PGT (preimplantation genetic testing) in IVF. She shares success stories and highlights the potential of AI in improving success rates in IVF.

What do embryologists do when they own stake in the company? If you're Professor Alison Campbell, Chief Scientific Officer and equity owner at Care Fertility, you'd build massive datasets to train a machine learning system to predict live births. With Alison we dive into: Their proprietary Caremaps-AI system (Saving 10 weeks of Embryologist time per year) Why CARE is building a machine learning system rather than using AI software already on the market How she pitted 10 of her best embryologists against an AI software she was skeptical of (And who won!) The one AI solution she likes for egg freezing (Why CARE Fertility uses that rather than building their own)

IVF is a process that involves creating an embryo in a lab. To help explain the process of creating those embryos, I'm joined today by embryologist, Salu Ribeiro. We're are talking about what happens in the lab, after eggs have been retrieved, what makes a "golden egg," and how fertilization works. We'll explain some of the terms  you may hear when you're doing IVF: ICSI (which is Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and PICSI (which is physiological ICSI, where sperm are first chosen for ICSI). And, we talk about how embryos grow, and what an embryologist looks for in eggs, sperm, and embryos. I love talking to Salu about embryos, and this conversation is a lot of fun!

According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 6 couples struggles with infertility. Just because you're struggling with conception doesn't mean that your dreams of having a family can't come true.⁠ ⁠ There has been an increase in interest in in-vitro fertilization, or IVF. ⁠ IVF is a medical procedure where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside of the body in a laboratory, and then the fertilized egg, or embryo, is transferred to a woman's uterus with the goal of establishing a successful pregnancy.⁠ ⁠ There can be a lot of confusion when you're starting this journey.⁠ That's why we loved chatting on IG Live with Jessica Manns of @ExplainingIVF. Jessica is an Embryologist, IVF + Infertility Educator.⁠ ⁠ During this Live, Jessica gave us an introduction to IVF, including what to expect and how it works. Plus, we discussed some of the mental health implications of IVF, what to ask your physician, and more. ⁠ Learn more about Jessica Manns and ExplainingIVF: https://linktr.ee/explainingivf Get tested for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals with Million Marker's Detect & Detox Test Kit: https://www.millionmarker.com/

As many of you may know, a big part of my path to parenthood involved many rounds of IVF cycles. Back then we really didn't know much about what was happening with our embryos and just blindly trusted that the miracle workers in the lab of our reproductive center knew best. These days, we're so lucky to have people like this episode's guest who is helping thousands of people learn about the ins and outs of their embryos.  Alease Daniel Barnes graduated from North Carolina State University in 2018 with a degree in Genetics and a minor in Biotechnology. While at NCSU, she developed a passion for reproductive health, women's health and comprehensive sex education, but wasn't sure how that would translate into a career. Her degrees gave her great lab experience and she wanted to utilize that while also working with patients. Alease went into the field right after graduation and over the years, she realized just how little information there is on what actually goes on behind the scenes in the lab. She then decided to create her Instagram and Tiktok, and it's grown into a great way to educate patients. Infertility is not an easy journey and she believes understanding what happens in the lab can help give patients peace of mind during their treatment. Her pages have now grown to over 170k followers and have been featured on Buzzfeed, Good Morning America, mom.com and more. In this episode, you'll hear from Alease about: Embryo grading The embryo freezing process All about the PGTA testing What to ask about your reproductive endocrinologist and their lab Ways to connect with Alease: www.aleasetheembryologist@gmail.com Tiktok: @aleasetheembryologist Instagram: @alease_the_embryologist For more information on Josephine Atluri Mindful Coaching, LLC and the Responding to Life podcast, please visit www.jatluri.com.

Dr. Sunday Crider started her infertility profession after finishing a PhD in Cell Biology and Biochemistry from Texas Tech University. She worked as an Embryologist at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, as well as New England Medical Center in Boston, before coming back home to Texas to build two IVF programs as Laboratory Director. She has also served as off- site Director for New Directions Fertility Center in Phoenix and Cryobank America in Dallas. Leaving the clinical environment in 2013, Dr. Crider began consulting in the surrogacy field as Chief Scientific Liaison, Case Manager, and co-owner of a surrogacy firm. Recognizing the need to offer a more personalized approach, she launched The Surrogacy Consultant in 2019. Between her IVF and Surrogacy years, she's been a part of building thousands of families. Ethics in the surrogacy community are one of Dr. Sunday's top priorities. She is a member of the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy (SEEDS), where she has acted as Vice President since 2021. During that time, she has served on the Standards Committee, drafting, and implementing guidelines and standards for surrogacy and egg donation. Listen as Dr. Sunday Crider discuss with Ellen and Jenn: • How a trip to Belize, studying butterflies, introduced her to IVF. • Making the hard decision to leave work and a team she loved to move back to Texas to direct a lab. • Frequent travel making it difficult to spend the time she wanted with her young family. • Retiring as a full-time embryologist to start a surrogacy agency. • Consulting for the FDA, working on FDA lab audits. • Changing the surrogacy matching process to increase success. • How the new Texas laws have influenced her process. • FDA inspections and ensuring the health and safety of patients.

Did you know: We can take cells from the outside of an embryo and test them?  Formerly, “embryo biopsies” were done only if there was a risk of serious disease like cystic fibrosis. It wasn't routinely done because taking a cell or two from an embryo that is only 8 cells brought with it the possibility of damaging the embryo.   Nowadays, the cells are taken later and aren't part of the inner cell mass that becomes the actual fetus. These cells still have the information embryologists are looking for (does it have the correct number of chromosomes), but the procedure doesn't incur the same risk. Why do it at all? This level of testing gives doctors and patients more information about the health of the embryo and its possibility of yielding a successful pregnancy. Let's talk about “assisted hatching” — it may make Anne and Ruby think of Austin Powers, but come on, Jurassic Park, right? Remember the dino egg hatching during the tour?  These days, assisted hatching is done with a laser on Day 3 (it used to be done with acid and THE EMBRYOLOGIST'S MOUTH). Basically, the idea is to create a tiny hole in the “shell” so cells can ooze out during development and be collected for testing. Rest assured, hatching is a normal part of the process of implantation, laser-wielding Embryologist or no.  For more fascinating science (and movie references), you really need to listen to this episode. It's seriously jaw-dropping how far we've come in fertility treatment.  Get more information on Julia, Ruby, Anne, fertility, Embryology, and treatment at www.seattlefertility.com.

Content Warning: There is discussion of animal testing some listeners may find difficult.  Continuing our digital/audio tour of a fertility clinic, we're stopping off at the Lab, a place full of lovely humans, according to Ruby and Anne. One of those lovely humans is Embryologist, Julia Aliabadi. Julia graduated from the University of Washington in 1992 with a Zoology degree (which apparently is a common path for folks who end up in Embryology). She first worked in andrology before joining Seattle Reproductive Medicine in 2005. So, what actually happens in the lab with the sperm and eggs and embryos? Well, life in the lab has changed as technology has evolved. For example, Embryologists used to test sperm's penetrative abilities by introducing it to animal eggs and see if it could get through. These days, there's a process called ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) where a tiny needle injects the sperm directly into the center of the egg. Why do this? Well, as Anne says, “Life is a struggle!” and there's a lot more involved in reproduction (no matter how it's achieved) than most of us know.  If you're curious what goes on in a fertility lab, this is a great introduction and tour. It's also a great mini-tour of some of the history of fertility treatments: imagine making your own pipettes! Or doing all your embryo freezing at one time because the freezer took three hours to complete a cycle. Or realizing embryos actually do better when we look at them less. So since we no longer get a daily update, what happens between Day Zero and Day Five? And how do strippers work into all this???

"Mama, where do babies come from?" Is this a question you've had your kids ask and don't even know where to begin?

Estela and Hera ask Alease Barnes (also known as Alease The Embryologist) about her career, what it's like being one of the only Black Embryologists in her field, and "technically" how babies are made.

Today Michelle is speaking With Lucy Lines of Two Lines Fertility. They talk about: What information is missing in sex ed in highschool Why it is so hard to get pregnant Egg quality, egg reserve and what happens to eggs over a person's lifetime Lifespan on eggs and sperm Ovulation timing with sex Embryo health, quality and rating (and if that actually matters) Advice for people navigating the IVF experience Lucy's Bio As a fully trained and clinically experienced embryologist Lucy has had the good fortune to travel the world practising her craft in IVF labs in Australia, Sweden, Ireland and the UK. Over her first 17 years in the fertility ‘industry' she became increasingly frustrated over the ‘business' aspect that was creeping into the large IVF companies and the huge gaps that was creating for patients accessing those services. After a redundancy at 37 weeks pregnant, (and at 44 years of age) she saw an opportunity to fill those gaps - with education, care, support, guidance and space for women and couples experiencing difficulties with their fertility - totally independent of the big businesses! She now offers her services through Two Lines Fertility - with her signature program; IVF WTF, her website and blog, e-courses and, of course, 1:1 support, she now helps women and couples feel empowered, and more importantly EDUCATED and in control of their fertility, whether they are right at the beginning of considering growing their families, in the depths of IVF treatment, or anywhere in between LUCY'S LINKS Lucy's Website Lucy on Instagram Lucy on Facebook IMPORTANT LINKS Work With Michelle Grab The Infertility Stress Relief Toolkit For FREE Sign Up For Michelle's Email List

In this episode we talk to Embryologist, Alease Daniel. Alease graduated from North Carolina State University in 2018 with a degree in Genetics and has been passionate about reproductive health and infertility ever since. As an embryologist she noticed the lack of education on what happened behind the scenes in the lab, so she created her Instagram, Tiktok and now website, to educate on all things IVF! We discuss IVF, the behind the scenes, common questions and the overturn of Roe v Wade. To connect with Alease, follow her at on IG @alease_the_embryologist TikTok @aleasetheembryologist or at her website Home | Alease The Embryologist. 

We didn't think we'd be rushing to get out this episode recorded for an August launch a week after we recorded, but we also didn't anticipate the Supreme Court would be overturning 50 years of precedent with Roe v. Wade this past week either. We are angry, frustrated, and scared but want to get this information out there to people that need it. In this interview with Alease Daniel, an embryologist and TikTok creator also known as @AleaseTheEmbryologist, we dig into all things LGBTQ+ fertility and family planning, from buying sperm safely to trans fertility preservation. We also discuss, in depth, the impacts overturning Roe v. Wade will now have on IVF in states where abortion is banned at conception. This is an episode you don't want to miss!

In this episode we're talking to some incredibly passionate people who absolutely love their jobs - meet the Embryologists and learn about the highs and lows of their work as we talk to 3 female and one male embryologist - in a field that is over 75% female. We hear from Alease Daniel, Victoria Wigley, Dani Smale, and Giles Palmer about what makes them happy and sad in their work.  What was discussed:  Why Alease chose to share her work on social media to dispel the mystery about the lab and how it can empower patients  How Labs can be understaffed and embryologists are undervalued and their opinions aren't valued.  Burnout but it's still a job - they don't want to be worked to death and the human aspect of the embryologist isn't considered.  Lack of training in delivering bad news How when Victoria was working as a lab manager meant she could spend more time with patients - not been able to do that previously, so didn't have the opportunity to build rapport  How she realized there was a gap in the info from the lab side - eg. lots of questions from patients about add-ons that make patients feel vulnerable  The benefit of having someone impartial to go through them to make an informed decision to go back to the clinic and feel more in control  WHow being an Emrbyologist is always a topic of conversation at dinner parties always fascinates people.  How you go on the journey with patients so when it doesn't work or they lose the baby, it's heartbreaking  Embryologists are scientists and aren't trained in the emotional side  Talks about a study of over 1k embryologists - looking at mental health and presented as a poster at Fertility 2022 Job needs a lot of skills, as there is little automation.  Need good hand and eye coordination Often work alone  but often don't do the whole cycle Can be very stressful  Daily appraisal - why didn't this person get pregnant  Time Commitment - every weekend, on a rota, often on call - mission-critical equipment is on alarms  Job changes all the time About 75% are female to male in embryology  The embryology population is ageing out  This series of The Fertility Podcast is sponsored by https://www.tmrw.org/ (TMRW)  SOCIALS: We really want to hear your thoughts on whether this matters to you.
