Send us a textHow many eggs should you expect during IVF? Is 8 enough? Is 20 too many? In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols cracks open the real data behind egg retrieval numbers and answers the question everyone's asking: “Am I making enough eggs?”We break down what's normal by age, what counts as mature, and why having more eggs isn't always better. Learn how AMH, antral follicle count, and stimulation protocols impact your results—and why quality beats quantity every time. From global practices to your personal golden egg, we're setting realistic egg-spectations and busting fertility myths, one follicle at a time.Whether you're preparing for IVF or supporting someone who is, this episode brings the facts, the stats, and a few laughs to lighten the hormone-fueled ride.

In this insightful and informative episode of the pregnantish podcast, first airing in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week '25, we're joined by Dr. Karen Tang, a board-certified gynecologist and minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon and the author of "It's Not Hysteria: Everything You Need to Know About Your Reproductive Health (but Were Never Told)" From media stories to medical discussions, fertility and infertility is full of misconceptions! This episode delves into how and why we should shift the conversation from fear-based, negative messaging about reproductive health to one that's positive, empowering, and focused on achieving the reproductive goals people desire. This episode's Midroll features Dr. Lucky Sekhon, Board Certified OBGYN & Fertility Doctor who practices at RMA of NY, the episode sponsor, to tackle some of the more common myths and why sexual and reproductive health education needs a major overhaul. Both doctors in this conversation have used their platforms, including on social networks like Instagram and TikTok, to educate audiences and tackle misinformation. After all, in a recent pregnantish survey of over 800 people, we learned that social media is the #1 way people today access fertility information and education. With 1 in 6 facing infertility and 1 in 4 navigating pregnancy loss today, there's nothing niche about this topic. This episode is a celebration of breaking down barriers, busting myths and encouraging people to take control of their fertility so they can best advocate for their health. Thank you to episode sponsor RMA of New York, a global leader in reproductive medicine who is partnered with US Fertility and its network of premier reproductive medicine practices.

Send us a textWhen it comes to fertility, timing is everything. In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down the "window of opportunity"—the crucial period where certain fertility treatments are most effective.Using football analogies, Dr. Amols explains why some treatments, like IUI, can be done at almost any age, while others, like IVF, require a stronger ovarian reserve and should be pursued earlier. He also dives into family-building strategy, showing why those who want multiple children may need to think ahead and bank embryos early rather than waiting until options become limited.This episode covers:

I'm so excited to have Dr. Bruce Lessey of ReceptivaDX join me on the podcast. Dr. Lessey has dedicated his research life to studying the lining of the uterus and more specifically, how to help embryos stick better. His research led to the discovery of the role of BCL-6 in the lining of the uterus as a diagnostic test patients can have done by their doctors to guide them toward the best protocol for transfer success. The test isn't for women just going through IVF either. This test can also be done to help women get an endometriosis diagnosis without going through a laparoscopy surgery. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ In addition to being a Fertility Doctor at The Fertility Center of the Carolinas, in Greenville SC, Dr. Lessey is also the scientific advisor for Cicero DX. His work on identifying BLC6 became the key component of the Receptivadx test. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ I'm delighted to have him on the show! Many IVF patients have benefited greatly from the Receptivadx test, and I'm looking forward to asking him a lot of questions about his work. ⁠ Read the full show notes and transcript on Dr. Aimee's website Find out more about ReceptivaDX here: https://receptivadx.com/ Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

We will learn: The science-backed connection between your mindset and your fertility (and why most doctors never mention this) Specific action steps you can take right now to optimize your fertility journey How to transform your relationship with your body from adversary to ally, even when you feel like it's failing you   Raise your hand if your fertility journey has not gone exactly as planned. I know there are hands going up everywhere right now - in cars, in kitchens, on morning walks, in offices. Maybe you've been trying for months – or years – with no success. Maybe you got pregnant easily before, and now you're facing loss after loss. Or maybe you're just starting out, and nothing is working the way you thought it would. Here's what's wild – about one in six couples struggles with fertility. That's way more common than most people think. But you know what? That number doesn't tell the whole story. It doesn't show the nights you've cried yourself to sleep, or how hard it is to scroll through social media seeing pregnancy announcement after pregnancy announcement.  Let me tell you something I've learned the hard way – your body doesn't care if you've had easy pregnancies before. It doesn't care about your perfect timing or your vision board or your five-year plan. Some of us struggle for years to see that first positive test. Others, like me, get blindsided by loss after things have been easy. Some of us dive deep into fertility treatments, while others keep hearing those frustrating words: "unexplained infertility." But here's the truth – and I want you to really hear this – there's no competition in this pain. Whether you've been trying for five years or you've had multiple losses in one year, whether you're just starting this journey or feeling like you're losing hope – your story matters. Your pain is real. And that tiny spark of hope you're holding onto? Keep holding on. Today our guest is Dr. Gabriela Rosa, a world-renowned fertility specialist who's helped thousands of couples overcome what seemed like impossible odds to create their families. With over two decades of experience, she brings together cutting-edge reproductive science with a deep understanding of how our mental and emotional state impacts our fertility.

Hello, beautiful! I'm so glad you're here for this week's episode of The "So Now What?" Podcast.  If you're watching on YouTube, you'll notice I'm in a different setting than usual. I'm currently in Denver, attending the American Society of Reproductive Medicine  (ASRM) Annual Congress. This episode might sound a bit different, but it's coming straight from the heart, and I think it's one you'll connect with if you've been searching for recognition after leaving IVF or fertility treatments without the child you dreamed of. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about reuniting with my reproductive endocrinologist after six years of wondering what I'd say if we ever crossed paths again. This was the doctor who, back in 2018, told me my only frozen embryo wasn't viable for implantation. It was a moment that shifted everything for me and my journey to motherhood. If you've ever felt like you were left to figure out life on your own after fertility treatments, this episode is for you. I talk about what it was like to finally speak with him face-to-face and express gratitude for his efforts, even though the outcome wasn't what I'd hoped for. It was also an opportunity to tell him how I've moved forward—leaving my corporate career, becoming a life coach, and now dedicating myself to helping women like you who are navigating life after IVF. As you listen, I want you to think about what you would say if you ever had the chance to speak to your own Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) or fertility team again. What would you want them to know about where you are today? Whether or not you ever get that chance, it's important to acknowledge yourself for how far you've come and the life you're creating, even though it looks different than what you envisioned. After the episode, I encourage you to take a few minutes to write down what your conversation would look like. It's a powerful exercise in recognizing your strength, resilience, and everything you've achieved since your fertility journey ended. And if you're still feeling unsure about what's next, I'm here to help. Book a free Thrive Call with me, and together, we'll create a plan for how you can move forward feeling fulfilled, even without the children you hoped for. It's time to thrive again, and I'm here to walk that path with you. Key Takeaways: You're not alone in feeling left behind after fertility treatments. It's a common experience to feel lost without the support and guidance you once had. Think about what closure looks like for you. Even if you never speak to your RE again, you can still acknowledge what you've accomplished since that part of your life ended. Your story is yours to create. The narrative around living without children doesn't have to be one of loss or sadness. You have the power to rewrite your story into something beautiful and fulfilling.

What You Need To Know About Age + Fertility. Blissfully in love, thriving in pursuit of becoming a naturopathic doctor and healthy on a cellular level. Yet here we are, having tough conversations about starting a family. Let me tell you friends, those beautiful gifts you prayed for; chances are, you're living them out in this very moment and missing every single one. We often build our lives around "someday," which leads to a town called "nowhere." Today, I share with you another appointment of tears, confusion, and prayers on what to do next. Often, we shut down and isolate ourselves when life gets tough, but I am choosing to do the opposite. I seek to remain open, vulnerable, and honest about what my critical levels mean for me and my future family. I love you, thanks for sticking with me. Please know you are NOT ALONE in anything you are going through.References: Dr Natalie Crawford

I'm so excited to have Dr. Bruce Lessey of ReceptivaDX join me on the podcast. Dr. Lessey has dedicated his research life to studying the lining of the uterus and more specifically, how to help embryos stick better. His research led to the discovery of the role of BCL-6 in the lining of the uterus as a diagnostic test patients can have done by their doctors to guide them toward the best protocol for transfer success. The test isn't for women just going through IVF either. This test can also be done to help women get an endometriosis diagnosis without going through a laparoscopy surgery. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ In addition to being a Fertility Doctor at The Fertility Center of the Carolinas, in Greenville SC, Dr. Lessey is also the scientific advisor for Cicero DX. His work on identifying BLC6 became the key component of the Receptivadx test. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ I'm delighted to have him on the show! Many IVF patients have benefited greatly from the Receptivadx test, and I'm looking forward to asking him a lot of questions about his work. ⁠ Read the full show notes and transcript on Dr. Aimee's website Find out more about ReceptivaDX here: https://receptivadx.com/ Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Welcome to this week's episode, where we embark on a journey of hope and discovery as we delve into 'Age, Lifestyle, and the Untold Truths of Conception' with Meg Faure, the founder of Sense by Meg, and Dr. Jo Pottow, a leading expert in reproductive medicine. Our mission is to shed light on various fertility solutions, providing insights, guidance, and support to those navigating the path to parenthood. Age, Lifestyle, and the Untold Truths of Conception-Understanding Fertility Challenges Meg explains the decision of many couples to have children later in life as the main cause of infertility, environmental stresses, genetics, and other factors. Dr. Pottow agrees with this fact and explains that the age factor mainly affects women who decide to have babies later in life, especially past 35 years of age. Lifestyle factors such as heavy alcohol use, substance abuse are main causes of infertility in men. Secondary Infertility Secondary infertility, a term used to describe infertility experienced by couples after the birth of their first baby, is also explained by the specialist. History of having suffered mumps when young are the main causes of infertility in men, which could also contribute to infertility later if proper treatment is not administered. Fertility Solutions Discussed Dr. Pottow shares that the best thing is to seek help early and starts off with a consultation and a history, then runs some tests that assist in giving the person a firm diagnosis and then a plan to fix the issue. Some of the Infertility solutions that are easy to fix include: Weight management: Being overweight could be a cause of infertility. Losing some weight and eating a balanced diet is an easy solution that has worked for others. -Timing issues -Making sure you're doing all the checks and balances. -Ensuring that your tubes are open, ensuring that you are ovulating. -Ensuring that your hormones are all well balanced and normal and ensuring that you have sperm that can reach that egg are important factors. The IVF fertility solution Dr. also talks about the reproductive technologies and treatments that have revolutionized the field of fertility, offering new avenues for those seeking to build their families. The IVF solution, which Dr. recommends to comes in after a few months of trying natural conception methods. Meg and Dr. Pottow encourage couples to get into the journey with people, specialists who understand and support them , saying "You will get there with a plan with the right person."

September is Urology Awareness Month, which is quite necessary considering there are less than four hundred practicing Reproductive Urologists in the United States. This episode serves as an opportunity to understand the intense training it takes to become a Reproductive Urologist (RU), what role they play in men's health and reproductive health, as well as how they work in conjunction with Reproductive Endocrinologists.    In today's episode, Progyny's Chief Medical Officer and Reproductive Endocrinologist, Dr. Janet Choi gives insight into the role of RUs and how they differ from Reproductive Endocrinologists (REIs).  Dr. Choi expands on her own position as an REI; what kind of training she received, who she treats, and how male patients can benefit from seeing an RU if they are already seeing an REI.    Video mentioned in this episode: Reproductive Urologists Can Help Men with Infertility         Guest: Dr. Janet Choi, Chief Medical Officer at Progyny     Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny     For more information, visit Progyny's Podcast page and Progyny's Education page for more resources.

Sasha Hakman is not only a fertility doctor, she is a fertility patient, and today we are talking about ALL OF IT. In her podcast debut, Sasha (formerly known on IG as Dr. Fierce) talks about why female physicians have a greater percentage of infertility, and how that specifically affected her when she went through her OBGYN residency for four years, and then her REI fellowship for an additional three years. She talks about thinking about freezing her eggs, how she met her now-husband and why she decided to freeze embryos instead, and how, as a doctor, she was able to look at her husband's sperm under a microscope. She talks about "super ovulating," being "reckless" with her med doses, why she didn't do PGT testing, why SCH are more common in IVF pregnancies, and what it felt like to finally have her son. She also talks about exercise during TTC -- and why she is so passionate about it.  Follow her on IG at @sashahakmanmd for more.

One thing D-Bag Dads all have in common: they'll never stop doing stupid sh**. Happy Father's Day!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Reply to a fertility doctor concerning polygenic embryo screening, published by GeneSmith on May 29, 2023 on LessWrong. New LessWrong user grll_nrg, a fertility doctor, left a comment on my post about how to have polygenically screened children that brought up many of the common objections raised to polygenic embryo screening. I've heard these concerns brought up many times at conferences and in talks by professionals in the fertility industry. I thought other people might be interested in the discussion, so I decide to make a stand-alone post. Here's grll_nrg's original comment: Great post. Thank you. Fertility doctor here and a supporter of ART (assisted reproductive technologies) in general. A few thoughts (although you touched on a few of these below, worth emphasizing in my opinion): PGT-P has not been validated yet, which may take decades to do, if ever. The science in terms of GWAS isn't quite there yet IMHO - we don't know all the genes that are important for most traits and we may be inadvertently selecting against some desirable traits, for example. Comparing clinic success rates using CDC data is imperfect because of different patient characteristics, patient selection, and reporting bias. IVF pregnancies carry a significantly higher complication rate (hypertensive disorders, preterm birth, placental abnormalities, etc.) compared to spontaneous pregnancies - unclear if this is due to IVF or underlying infertility diagnosis. The risk-benefit calculus of PGT-P is going to be different for a couple who already needs to do IVF anyway to have a baby (low additional risk/cost) compared to a couple doing IVF just so that they can do PGT-P (higher additional risk/cost). IVF is notoriously inefficient at present. Depending on female partner age, each cycle may yield only very few embryos making the benefit and utility of PGT-P limited. It may not be practical, safe, or financially feasible to do multiple cycles of IVF to increase the cohort of transferable embryos. IVF is expensive and often not covered by insurance which creates access disparities. PGT-P would exacerbate these disparities in access. This is not unique to IVF I realize. Slippery-slope eugenics and discrimination are real ethical concerns that would need to be mitigated. In-vitro gametogenesis (IVG) would be a game-changer. The utility of PGT-P would be greatly enhanced if suddenly you had thousands of eggs and hundreds of embryos to select from. Thanks for the reply. I'm glad professionals from the ART field are reading this. PGT-P has not been validated yet, which may take decades to do, if ever. I think the ART field should probably reconsider what it considers acceptable evidence of "validation". In my mind, the question of "Has PGT-P been validated" should hinge on whether or not we can be confident that embryos selected via polygenic scores will display different trait values than those selected at random. For example, we want to know whether an embryo that has a low polygenic risk score for hypertension will indeed go on to develop hypertension at a lower rate. All the people I've heard criticize PGT-P seem to think that the ONLY way to do this is with some kind of randomized control where some embryos with certain polygenic risk scores are implanted and others are not, and we then wait 20-70 years to see whether or not the polygenically screened group develops diseases at a different rate than the control group. I think this view is incorrect and is only taken because people are blindly applying traditional validation methodology to PGT-P without asking whether it is necessary. Genes have a very special property that gives us a huge advantage over researchers trying to test whether or not a medication works; nature has already conducted a randomized control trial for us!

Imagine longing to have a baby. Trying to conceive for years and years. Or maybe suffering through miscarriage after miscarriage. Or knowing you or your partner have a genetic defect in your DNA that would cause a child painful suffering, hospitalizations or even an early death. These reasons — and many more — lead individuals and couples to seek the help of an infertility doctor.But what if that doctor was devious? What if he didn't exactly follow your wishes….AND YOU HAD NO IDEA YOU EVEN had to be so explicit in your directions …Because there aren't national or international laws that necessarily STATE WHAT THIS MAN DID WAS ILLEGAL or laws protecting against the inconceivable actions he took on the womb of unsuspecting mothers — but the story of Dr. Donald Cline's deceit would come to light and his nearly 100 children would come back to haunt him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Indiana fertility doctor impregnates over 50 patients allegedly with no consent. #meto #timesup #doctor #fertility #women

Is there a connection between the recent overturn of Roe v Wade and fertility treatments? Unfortunately, the implications for women's healthcare and reproductive care are far-reaching beyond simply allowing states to ban abortion. And there are a lot of considerations that reproductive-aged women may be facing now that they hadn't before. And having a chronic condition like PCOS only complicates matters more. I've been fielding questions about what these changing laws mean when it comes to women's health with questions like: Should I delete my period tracking app? What's the best option for birth control? How will the laws impact IVF? If I have embryos frozen in a state with personhood laws, should I move them? I've also been hearing from a lot of women who were planning to start a family but now are afraid of getting pregnant in case they find themselves in a situation where they may require emergency care or are forced to carry a pregnancy to term if there's a medical issue with the fetus. So I wanted to dedicate an episode to PCOS and fertility in a post-Roe era. Frankly, I have a lot of questions about the situation too! So I brought in Dr. Carolina Sueldo, a Double Board Certified Fertility Specialist, to go over how the changing legal landscape may impact fertility care in America. Dr. Sueldo completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the UCSF-Fresno Medical Education Program, then  went on to complete her fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) at the University of Connecticut while concurrently obtaining a Master in Science. Dr. Sueldo practices at Women's Specialty and Fertility Center and is also an Assistant Professor for the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UCSF-Fresno. She is board certified in both Obstetrics and Gynecology (ObGyn), as well as Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI). This Week We Talk About:  Why PCOS treatment should be based on whether you're trying to conceive or not How to track cycles when cycles are irregular Why you should be concerned about privacy of your data with apps you use and practitioners you work with Thinking about contraceptives in terms of first-line, second-line, and third-line options and why it's more important than ever to be proactive Increased pregnancy risks for people with PCOS Impact of state laws on IVF — exactly which procedures are affected and how that will decrease efficiency and success rates and increase costs Miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, and medical terminations     Mentioned in this episode PCOS Meal Prep Made Easy Workshop – In this hour-long workshop, I break down what foods you want to include for PCOS and what you may want to consider avoiding or minimizing. Learn my simple 3-step formula for planning meals with PCOS, which includes learning how to eat to balance blood sugar.   Where to find Dr. Carolina Sueldo, MD, FACOG, OBGYN/REI Work with Dr. Sueldo: Women's Specialty and Fertility Center Dr. Sueldo's Instagram: @drcarolinasueldo Dr. Sueldo's YouTube Channel: Dr Carolina Sueldo   Love the podcast?

Dr. Bendikson is an OB/GYN and a nationally recognized leader in the fertility field. She has gone through fertility testing herself and now counsels clients about family planning decisions like egg freezing and other fertility treatment options. This conversation demystifies the scary and overwhelming aspects of egg freezing and fertility testing. We talk about all the things - fertility age ranges, the quality and number of your eggs, and the technology behind testing. Join us as we talk about how we can become more educated and proactive with our fertility and family planning!   IN THIS EPISODE:   [03:56] About Dr. Bendikson and her passion for fertility awareness. [07:11] The intersection of fertility and culture and navigating difficult conversations around fertility testing. [13:48] The egg freezing process explained and answers to common questions. [27:11] Technological improvements in egg freezing and the difference of embryo freezing.  [33:00] Clarifying what fertility testing means for family planning.  [39:29] Dr. Bendikson's own experience with fertility testing and making decisions based on outliers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   Women in their twenties are encouraged to start thinking about their long-term family planning goals. You don't have to make any decisions but it's helpful to consider fertility testing as a way to learn and understand what your options are as you think about having kids in the future.  In the last 15 years, there have been advancements that have made the egg freezing experience easier. Improvements to medications have decreased the length of time that women experience being uncomfortable and it's also limited the amount of days of taking shots. You can't change the number or quality of your eggs. However, the number thing you can do is choose to freeze your eggs earlier rather than later. If you freeze your eggs in your late 20s and then wait to get pregnant in your late 30s, your chances of getting pregnant are that of your late 20 year old self - so that's really important to remember.    Resources:   https://kindbody.com/    Dr. Bendikson Website   https://instagram.com/drkristinbendikson   https://instagram.com/kindbody    BIO:   Dr. Bendikson did her residency training in OB/GYN at Harvard and completed her reproductive endocrine and infertility fellowship training at Cornell.

I'm so excited to have Dr. Bruce Lessey of ReceptivaDX join me on the podcast. Dr. Lessey has dedicated his research life to studying the lining of the uterus and more specifically, how to help embryos stick better. His research led to the discovery of the role of BCL-6 in the lining of the uterus as a diagnostic test patients can have done by their doctors to guide them toward the best protocol for transfer success. The test isn't for women just going through IVF either. This test can also be done to help women get an endometriosis diagnosis without going through a laparoscopy surgery. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ In addition to being a Fertility Doctor at The Fertility Center of the Carolinas, in Greenville SC, Dr. Lessey is also the scientific advisor for Cicero DX. His work on identifying BLC6 became the key component of the Receptivadx test. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ I'm delighted to have him on the show! Many IVF patients have benefited greatly from the Receptivadx test, and I'm looking forward to asking him a lot of questions about his work. ⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

Spike in Miscarriages, Fetal Deaths, Uterus Shedding: Fertility Doctor on Vaccine Side Effects in Pregnant Women

Spike in Miscarriages, Fetal Deaths, Uterus Shedding: Fertility Doctor on Vaccine Side Effects in Pregnant Women

In order to get a sense of what a fertility specialist is seeing on the front line, Facts Matter interviewed Dr. James Thorp, a physician MD board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, as well as maternal-fetal medicine. Dr. Thorp has practiced obstetrics for over 42 years and sees 6,000–7,000 high-risk pregnant patients a year. From his experience, Dr. Thorp said that although he has seen a spike in fetal death and adverse pregnancy outcomes after the mass vaccination campaign began, his attempts to quantify this effect have been hampered by the imposition of gag orders on physicians and nurses that were imposed in September 2021. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

Choosing a fertility doctor or clinic is a crucial decision in your fertility journey. Most women make their decisions based off SART data, insurance requirements, location and personal recommendations. While these are very important, in today's episode we not only look at them with a critical eye, but we also look deeper into other considerations that become equally if not more important as you grow and evolve in your fertility journey, and as you become more educated, empowered and knowledgeable about what is standing between you and your healthy baby. Nobody said I wasn't controversial, so let's start here. And remember, changing your mind is a sign of wisdom and maturity. This is YOUR experience and no one else's. YOU get to decide what's best for you, for your body, for your family and for your future.

How fertile are you? This may not be something you're even thinking about unless you're planning to try to conceive. But my guest today wants to change that. Dr. Aimee is passionate about empowering and educating every woman about her egg health and how fertile she is... whether she's thinking about trying to conceive in the near future or not. With more and more people putting conception on the back burner while they focus on their careers or delay family building for other reasons, it's important to understand the impact of time on our fertility and our chances of conceiving. Fortunately, there are some simple medical tests that can give us answers about our current fertility — taking into account our egg quantity and egg health — and make projections about what our fertility may look like 2 years from now, 5 years from now, etc! Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is a fertility specialist in the San Francisco Bay Area. Practicing for over 15 years, she has a specialization in IVF and has vast experience in helping women over 35 realize their dreams of becoming a mother. Her focus is on finding the sweet spot of where science and patient care meet, and empowering people to better understand their fertility. She launched Egg Freezing Party in 2014 to help educate people about their fertility preservation options. Since then, she's launched The Egg Whisperer Show, to further the reach of how she educates people. It's broadcast to YouTube, IGTV, Facebook, Twitter, and as a podcast of the same name. In addition, Dr. Aimee has simplified how people understand fertility by introducing the TUSHY Method, BALLS Method, and the Egg Whisperer DIET, as mnemonics to remind people about the basics of fertility diagnosis and care. This Week We Talk About:  The 3 major factors that affect our fertility and the only one we can control What the TUSHY method is and how to use it to evaluate your current egg health and fertility How fertility doctors are able to make predictions about your future fertility based on your current situation Why Dr. Aimee started the Egg Freezing Party to empower and educate women Who should consider freezing their eggs and why When to consider IUI vs IVF Creative and alternative family building Some tips to maintain hope throughout the process   Mentioned in this episode Losing Weight with PCOS – In this NEW live workshop & Q&A happening June 15th at 7 PM EST, we'll talk about all the reasons WHY it's so hard to lose weight with PCOS, why focusing on the scale is the WRONG approach, and what to focus on instead – and the best part is it doesn't involve giving up ANY of your favorite foods. It's happening June 15th and it WILL be recorded if you can't make it live, but of course you'll want to show up live to get YOUR questions answered!

Natalie Rolland is a mother and wife based on the Gold Coast, and owner of Altered Sense. I discovered Nat online when she was about halfway through her pregnancy, and quickly learned that she had a challenging experience to get to that point. I always find it so refreshing when I see women share their truth with such kindness, vulnerability and strength. In this episode Nat and I discuss her experience of fairly straight forward conception x3, followed by three miscarriages, back to back. She talks about her mindset at that time, and how much she was pushing for answers when her Doctor wasn't offering much. Nat and her husband came back with a DQAlpha match, and with the help of Dr Kee Ong (the same Fertility Doctor that has been supporting us) she went onto an immune protocol, and into a medicated IUI cycle. In this episode we talk about that experience, Nat's less than favourable pregnancy symptoms, and how that affected her view of pregnancy, and her incredible birth story. Spoiler alert - her hubby didn't make it!Nat is open, strong and resilient, and I truly admire her ability to move through all that she has in such a short amount of time. She really is a special soul to carry such a lightness about her, after all that she has been through. This episode is a must listen, I cannot wait to hear what you think!Connect with Nat on InstagramVisit Nat's business, Altered SenseGet your copy of Ripe.Use the code PODCAST for $5 off.The MooGoo products I mentioned in this episode are linked below, be sure to enter the code KATE15 at checkout for 15% off storewide, excluding Gift Voucher, Value Packs and Bulk Sizes.

After a woman's at-home DNA test reveals multiple half-siblings, she discovers a shocking scheme involving donor sperm and a popular fertility doctorA total of 94 cline siblings were discovered  or found during  the production  of this documentary which means the number could increase.44 other Fertility  doctors  have a similar  situation  or moral crime as Don cline.Director Lucie Jourdan's “Our Father,” a frustrating, tawdry documentary, rips a headline for trashy dramatic beats of an Indianapolis fertility doctor who inseminated an untold number of women with his sperm. The physician in question, Donald Cline, didn't ask the women for their permission. They continued with their lives believing their child's father was an unnamed medical student or their respective husband. Decades later, though, through the DNA test 23andMe, the now-grown children are not only discovering unknown half siblings, they're learning that Cline is their father. Much of the film is told through the eyes of Jacoba Ballard. Because of her blonde hair and blue eyes, in a family of brunettes, she always wondered about her origins. After using 23andMe, she found seven other half-siblings and began connecting the dots, ultimately spearheading the search for other siblings. Deeper, darker secrets are also revealed, like how the doctor would slip away to his office to masturbate while his female patient sat desperate and vulnerable—both emotionally and physically—in an adjoining room. The story carries an inherent grotesqueness, ready-made to churn the stomach. But Jourdan uses hackneyed techniques, often undermining, and worst yet, trivializing these crimes. Throughout the documentary, a rolling number keeps track of how many children are discovered by Ballard. It's a necessary breadcrumb for the viewer. The unnecessary part, however, springs from the sound of a man moaning whenever the number increases. In a film produced by Blumhouse, surely, the sound effect stems from a horror conceit. But in a documentary about a man masturbating, it's tasteless.Jourdan struggles to let the tragic stories shared by these men and women to breathe. A jagged and eerie score adds an unnecessary, overbearing mood and tone to their recounting. Staged scenes of Ballard dressed in a red hoodie, hunched over her computer as a web of papers and photos surround her, are closer to comical than serious. And the obvious reenactments of an actor playing Cline in scenes with the real-life Ballard are strained, at best; amateurish at worst. At every turn, Jourdan is determined to relegate this crime to a tacky TruTV documentary. For much of the film, the primary question eating at the victims is “why?”—what would drive Cline to inseminate these women? A conspiracy theory offered by one victim points toward cultish origins. While religion plays a large role with Cline, Jourdan isn't at all interested in parsing how Cline used his spirituality to absolve himself. Nor does she really delve into the inadequacy of rape laws. In fact, the best minute of the film arises when the state's prosecutor and a law scholar explain why charges couldn't be brought against the doctor. Partially because while a clause in Indiana law could result in charges, the inherent bias jurors have against women in cases not considered “clear” instances of rape would make the prospects of any prosecution untenable. Rather than dive through those nuances, Jourdan pushes quack theories that do the narrative little good. The whole picture slows to a crawl under the weight of these extraneous tangents, making one wish a clearer thesis dominated the proceedings.   This movie is strongest when it focuses on the victims: the mothers like Liz White and Dianna Kiesler, and their children. In this plastic documentary, they're the only tangible link to reality. Each recollection from a mother—explaining their want for a baby, their joy of having one, and their heartbreak and disgust discovering how their desires were leveraged for this doctor's jollies—renders palpable empathy. Likewise for the now adults dealing with unmoored self-identities, health ailments, and despair. Angela Ganote of Fox59, the one person who believed these women, who went out of their way to investigate Cline, imbues this unyielding documentary with additional gravitas whenever she speaks about her research. None of those components, unfortunately, can overcome a movie too interested in manifesting trending topics over telling an alarming, gut-wrenching story with respect. While what Cline did and the fight his victims took to find justice is a truth worth knowing and learning, Jourdan's crass documentary isn't the best vehicle for such weighty material.   ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

I'm so excited to have Dr. Bruce Lessey of ReceptivaDX join me on the podcast. Dr. Lessey has dedicated his research life to studying the lining of the uterus and more specifically, how to help embryos stick better. His research led to the discovery of the role of BCL-6 in the lining of the uterus as a diagnostic test patients can have done by their doctors to guide them toward the best protocol for transfer success. The test isn't for women just going through IVF either. This test can also be done to help women get an endometriosis diagnosis without going through a laparoscopy surgery. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ In addition to being a Fertility Doctor at The Fertility Center of the Carolinas, in Greenville SC, Dr. Lessey is also the scientific advisor for Cicero DX. His work on identifying BLC6 became the key component of the Receptivadx test. ⁠ ⠀ ⠀⁠ I'm delighted to have him on the show! Many IVF patients have benefited greatly from the Receptivadx test, and I'm looking forward to asking him a lot of questions about his work. ⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

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! Let’s go through what the first visit to a fertility doctor entails and how you can get the most out of it.   Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website   Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!   Join Egg Whisperer School   Checkout the podcast   Subscribe to the newsletter to get updates   Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America’s most well known fertility doctors.

The relationship you have with your fertility doctor is really important. But most of the time, these “relationships” tend to be one sided, where you are expected to just sit and wait for the doctor to do their magic or for science to be on your side. Now, say this with me: For a relationship to be productive, it can't be one sided.    When we think of doctors, we think of people whom we should just trust and  expect to have the answers. Believing this prevents a lot of healthy dialogue from happening, especially when it comes to your fertility journey.    On this episode of The FU Project Podcast, I break down how you can create a balanced relationship with your fertility doctor by examining the current structure of doctor's offices, what to look for in your visit and how to be your own advocate. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your confidence in the doctor's office.    What You'll Learn Why the doctor-patient relationship is the way it is What to do once you're in the appointment How to protect your fertility journey investment and  co-collaborate with your doctor And much more!   "I want you to protect your own investment into this business" - Tasha Blasi   Resources Mentioned Meditation course   How to connect with Tasha Tashablasi.com Connect with the health and fitness experts from the episode at support@tashablasi.com   How to get involved If you would like more information about The FU Project and my mission to get you pregnant so much faster and smarter than I did, please check out my website.   Enjoyed the Podcast?

In this week's episode, Gretchen and Tabitha talk about a crime that is as unconscionable as it is frightening. This crime is the epitome of invasion of privacy and destruction of lives. Rarely, you come across a crime where the victim or victims that have led care-free lives until suddenly, a new discovery changes everything for them. And the worst part is, even though they haven't been physically harmed, the emotional scars that develop as a result of this discovery, causes them to live in pain for the rest of their lives. Gretchen and Tabitha talk about Dr. Donald Cline, a fertility doctor from Indiana, who conceived numerous children without disclosing himself as the sperm donor to his patients. As of today, that number is 94 offspring. They talk about how a 35-year-old Jacoba, who was told that she was adopted, uncovered this disturbing truth using sites like ancestory.com and 23 and Me.“Oh, got through medical school so it's got the brains, the brain gene.” - Tabitha (11:26)Listen as both talk about the case in detail and go over tough moments that include Jacoba and her siblings meeting Dr. Client in person for the first time, who came to the meeting armed with a gun. You will learn about Angela Genote, the reporter who air the story and also met the disgraced doctor who pleaded him to drop the story altogether. Finally you will also hear about the obstacles the criminal justice system faced in prosecuting Dr. Cliene based on vague or unclear laws, lack of surety of how to pursue despite having DNA evidence and how Dr. Client got off with a $500 fine and suspended sentence.
