Have you been told your AMH is low—and that time is running out?If you've ever felt panic after seeing your AMH results or were told IVF is your only option, this episode will completely reframe what that number actually means. AMH is one of the most overemphasized labs in fertility care, yet it doesn't measure egg quality, ovulation health, or your true ability to conceive naturally.In this episode, you'll learn...-What AMH is truly measuring (and what it never tells you about your fertility)-The real factors that impact egg quality, ovulation, and implantation success-The root causes that can suppress AMH levels—and how addressing them can improve fertility outcomesPress play now to learn why your AMH number is just data—not your destiny—and what actually moves the needle when you're trying to conceive naturally.

In this episode, I'm answering your questions — the real ones. The ones you sent me quietly on Instagram. The ones that sit heavy in your chest at 2am. We're talking about: – Have I actually found joy again… without constantly thinking my baby should be here? – How to handle not getting grace from the people around us – What to do when you feel like your body failed you – Navigating strained relationships after stillbirth – Trying to conceive again (TTC) and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it – Regrets about hospital decisions and the “what ifs” that won't let go – Pregnancy after loss (PAL) and living in two realities at once – The anger that comes with feeling like you have to “start over” Nothing is off limits here. I share what this has looked like in my own life — the messy middle, the guilt, the growth, the perspective shifts that took years to land. I don't offer perfect answers, because there aren't any. But I do offer honesty. If you've ever wondered whether joy is allowed… If you've wrestled with resentment toward your body… If your relationships changed and you don't recognize them anymore… If you're TTC again while terrified… This episode is for you. You're not dramatic. You're not broken. You're grieving. And I'm right here with you. ❤️‍

In today's episode, I feature a private coaching client Jenn, who shares her three-year journey to pregnancy while navigating a PCOS diagnosis. She recounts her frustrating experiences with conventional medicine, which often left her feeling dismissed and hopeless. After taking her health into her own hands and working with Nora, Jenn learned to understand her body, stopped treatments that were masking the root issues, and successfully conceived naturally. Her story is a powerful testament to self-advocacy. Episode Highlights: Meet Jenn, a dedicated teacher whose fertility journey took unexpected turns after coming off birth control. What started as a quest to start a family became a battle for answers after a rushed PCOS diagnosis and a series of medical frustrations. Determined to take charge of her health, Jenn dives into research, challenges her diagnosis, and begins exploring holistic and alternative care. Her search leads her to Nora, whose guidance helps uncover the truth about Jenn's body and a powerful shift in her fertility story. From heartbreak to healing, Jenn opens up about loss, resilience, and the life-changing moment she realized her body could do what she once thought it couldn't. Now in her third trimester, Jenn shares what pregnancy with PCOS really looks like, and the empowering mindset that's carried her through. Her journey is a reminder that reclaiming your health starts with self-advocacy, patience, and trust in your body's wisdom.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, we explain the initial fertility workup for patients seeing a fertility specialist for the first time. This includes evaluation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, sperm, and ovarian reserve using AMH testing. We discuss how fertility physicians assess egg count and why each component of the evaluation is important. We review ovulation tracking methods, including ovulation predictor kits, and explain how they are used to properly time intercourse. Timed intercourse is discussed as a first-line fertility treatment option, including when it may be effective and when additional intervention is recommended. We also cover fertility medications such as letrozole and clomiphene citrate, used with timed intercourse or with ultrasound follicular monitoring to track egg development. The role of Ovidrel in triggering ovulation and improving timing is explained, along with its benefits. Finally, we discuss intrauterine insemination and the use of the FemVue catheter, which can help deliver sperm more effectively to a specific fallopian tube. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of fertility treatment options that do not involve IVF. This podcast was sponsored by IVF Florida.

In this episode, I talk about the most fantastic mess that is life after stillbirth. This is emotional whiplash at its finest...Loss mamas are out here doing the damn thing every single day—showing up, parenting, working, laughing—and still grieving, spiraling, and holding a whole lot beneath the surface. Two things can be true at once, and they usually are.I share a moment where I blurted out something dark but completely factual… and the person on the receiving end said absolutely nothing. We get into how grief conversations have evolved (or haven't), why people don't know what to do with us, and how wildly inappropriate things still get said to our faces—like, “I would have died if something happened to my baby.” Cool. Thanks. Super helpful.This episode is about the messiness, the awkwardness, the growth, the rage, the humor, and the reality of living after stillbirth. It's about surviving, adapting, and learning how to exist in a world that's uncomfortable with our truth.If you're a loss mama trying to hold it together while falling apart, this one's for you.Welcome to the fantastic mess.

In today's episode, I sit down with Jes Reynolds, who challenges the common myths surrounding HG and reveals how it often signals deeper physiological imbalances, from nutrient deficiencies to hidden toxicities.

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm diving into the ten things I tell my fertility patients to stop doing every single day in my practice. As a fertility specialist who's been working with patients for years, I've noticed certain patterns and behaviors that can make the fertility journey more stressful than it needs to be. Whether you're just starting fertility treatments, in the middle of IVF, or trying to conceive naturally, this episode is packed with practical, science-based advice that will help you navigate this process with less stress and more confidence. I'm sharing the real talk about everything from baby showers to coffee consumption, and yes, even the prescription for ejaculation that sounds silly coming from a doctor's mouth but is scientifically valid. Read the full show notes and transcript on Dr. Aimee's website Throughout this episode, I explore the physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors that impact fertility treatment success. I discuss why it's okay to set boundaries, how to optimize sperm health, what you really need to know about exercise during IVF, and why that cup of coffee you've been avoiding is actually perfectly fine. My goal is to help you feel empowered to make informed decisions, reduce unnecessary stress, and approach your fertility journey with a positive mental attitude. I want you to stop doing things that don't serve you and start focusing on what actually matters for your fertility success. In this episode, we cover: Why you should skip baby showers and learn to say no without guilt during fertility treatment The truth about alcohol consumption during fertility treatments and when moderation is okay Exercise guidelines before and after egg retrieval, and why listening to your body is crucial Why abstaining from sex during fertility treatment is actually counterproductive and how frequent ejaculation improves sperm quality The importance of keeping your fertility journey private and choosing your support circle carefully How to choose sperm-friendly lubricants and avoid products that harm fertility Why stress about stress is unnecessary and how to build your fertility support team The impact of heat exposure on male fertility and why "cooking your balls" is a real concern Why you don't need to give up coffee during fertility treatment and the science behind caffeine consumption The power of positive mental attitude (PMA) and stopping negative thinking patterns Do you have questions about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

She also has years of experience working with clinics on patient support strategies, so she sees both sides: what patients need, and what is still missing in the system.We talked about why fertility coaching can be such a powerful complement to medical treatment, how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of TTC, and how to protect your mental wellbeing, even when things do not go as planned.What we discuss in this episode:The power of coaching and how it can support people emotionally through treatmentHow Sarah's own journey inspired her work in fertility and patient experienceWhat fertility clinics are doing (and not doing) to better support patientsCoping with anxiety, stress, and overwhelm while TTCStrategies for building resilience and staying hopefulTips for advocating for yourself in appointments and with providersThe Positivity Planner and how journaling can support your mental wellbeingThe importance of community, connection, and being heardWhat Sarah wishes everyone struggling with infertility knewIf you are feeling like you have no one to talk to, or like you are supposed to just keep going while your heart is breaking, this one is for you.This episode is sponsored by Access FertilityWorried about the financial pressure of treatment?

  Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. What is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)? OHSS is a condition that can occur after ovarian stimulation, most often during IVF cycles, when the ovaries respond excessively to fertility medications. Who is at highest risk for OHSS? Patients at increased risk include women with a high egg count, younger patients, and patients with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Does pregnancy increase the risk of OHSS? Yes; a fresh embryo transfer can increase the risk because the pregnancy hormone (hCG) may worsen or prolong OHSS symptoms. How has the risk of OHSS decreased in modern IVF treatment? The use of GnRH agonist (Lupron) trigger shots has dramatically reduced the risk by quickly lowering estrogen levels and preventing severe symptoms. How is OHSS treated? Treatment focuses on symptom management; medications such as cabergoline (Dostinex) and letrozole may be used to lower estrogen levels and shorten symptom duration. When should patients call their doctor about OHSS symptoms? Patients should call immediately if they experience low urine output, an inability to drink fluids, severe abdominal pain, shortness of breath, or pain or swelling in the arms or legs. Why is it important to call your doctor if you are concerned? OHSS can be serious, and early evaluation and treatment are critical. Patients should always contact their doctor if they are worried about symptoms. This podcast was sponsored by U.S. Fertility.

In this episode, I talk about the part of grief that doesn't fit the mold—the way loss makes you different, and how few people truly understand the way we navigate the world afterward. There's an unexpected empowerment that comes from owning that difference. From letting go of how grief should look. From stopping the need to be understood. And from building a life after loss in the way you need to, not the way others expect. If you've ever felt like a misfit in your grief, about how you're doing this and am looking for guidance on owning it, this one is for you. JOIN LOSSLINK.COM to find your loss posse ************************************* NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, they are joined by Ravi Agarwal, MD, from Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area in San Ramon. In this episode, they discussed the unique fertility challenges for women over 40 trying to conceive. Challenges include changes in egg number and egg quality that can affect their chances of conception and carrying a pregnancy. The hosts and their guest discuss how age impacts fertility, how testing guides treatment decisions, and why a personalized approach is essential. During this episode, the docs answered the following questions: What are the biggest fertility challenges women face after age 40? Women over 40 commonly experience both a decreased number of eggs and declining egg quality. As eggs age, they are more likely to have genetic abnormalities, which can make conception more difficult and increase the risk of miscarriage. Why does egg quality decline with age? Egg quality declines due to age-related genetic changes. A higher percentage of eggs become chromosomally abnormal over time, making it harder to achieve a healthy pregnancy. What fertility testing is recommended for women over 40? Testing often includes: AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) to estimate ovarian reserve. Antral follicle count via ultrasound to assess how many eggs are present in the ovaries. These tests help predict treatment response and guide next steps. Can having more eggs help offset poor egg quality? In some women over 40, a higher egg number may partially compensate for reduced egg quality, increasing the likelihood of finding a genetically healthy egg. Do all women over 40 need IVF? No. Not every woman over 40 requires IVF. Some women can conceive without treatment, some are good IVF candidates, and others may not benefit from IVF at all. How do doctors decide which treatment is best after age 40? Treatment decisions are individualized and based on age, egg reserve, egg quality, medical history, and personal goals.

In today's episode, I sit down with OB-GYN Dr. Hannah Ryles to explore how exercise and movement can powerfully boost fertility for both men and women. We dive into tailored exercise guidelines for preconception, spotlighting the differences for healthy weight versus those managing metabolic or inflammatory conditions, and unpack the benefits of cycle-syncing workouts. Dr. Ryles also shares insights on how men can support their fertility through movement, while highlighting what to avoid. Above all, we discuss how exercise, mindfulness, and stress management can transform reproductive health into a nurturing, empowering journey, even during IVF. Episode Highlights: Discover how Dr. Hannah Ryles, a University of Chicago OB-GYN and advisor for ExpectFit, is redefining what movement means for women in every stage of their reproductive journey. Learn how her early years in Japan shaped her unique perspective on exercise and why her medical training revealed striking differences in how active women experience pregnancy, labor, and recovery. Unpacking the myth that exercise has to mean "hard workouts" while also exploring how joyful, everyday movement can transform not just fitness, but fertility. Dr. Ryles shares her expert take on how to move intentionally during preconception, what activity levels best support women with conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, and how tuning into your body (and cycle) can guide your energy and intensity. You'll also hear how movement can calm inflammation, support hormonal balance, and even play a role in IVF success, plus what men need to know about exercise and fertility (and what to avoid). Finally, a powerful client story reminds us that fertility thrives on balance Dr. Ryles leaves listeners with a vital message about movement and fertility If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center with special guest Lauren Makler, Founder of Cofertility. In this episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored, the Docs welcome back Lauren Makler for a deeper dive into how to choose an egg donor—and why selecting a reputable, ethical organization matters. Lauren explains that not all donor agencies operate with the same standards, so intended parents should ensure the group they partner with strictly follows guidelines set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. These include essential criteria such as donor age (typically 21–34) and comprehensive medical, psychological, and lifestyle screening. Lauren also highlights a recent study showing that donors over age 25 often have better outcomes, potentially due to increased emotional maturity and readiness for the medical demands of the process. She emphasizes the importance of reviewing a donor's anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) level to predict egg yield and notes that nicotine, marijuana, and excessive alcohol use can disqualify a donor because of their impact on fertility. Further screening, including family medical history and genetic carrier testing, ensures compatibility between donor and intended parents. The Cofertility team recognizes that families have different pathways; some prioritize speed and choose frozen donor eggs, while others prefer to wait for the ideal donor match. Cofertility enhances this process by offering donor videos, giving families a more personal connection beyond written profiles so that both parties have the best possible experience.
