Dos and Don'ts of Fertility Treatment

In this episode, I'm answering the most common questions I get about fertility treatment—the ones my patients ask me 20 times a day. Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, going through IUI, or navigating IVF, I'm covering the practical guidance you need about medications, lifestyle choices, and what's safe during your fertility journey. Tune in on Dr. Aimee's Website. I explore what matters most when dealing with infertility: what's safe during treatment, what to avoid, and how to optimize your egg quality without unnecessary restrictions. From managing IVF medication side effects to understanding when you can exercise or travel, I'm giving you practical fertility doctor advice you can use during ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer. In this episode, we cover: • Progesterone administration (oral vs. vaginal) and managing side effects • Alcohol and coffee consumption during fertility treatment and pregnancy • Exercise guidelines during IVF based on your cycle stage • Safe medications for colds, constipation, nausea, and pain • What's safe for reproductive health: Botox, hair coloring, massage, saunas • Sex during fertility treatment—timing and the concept of "outercourse" • Travel, acupuncture, and lifestyle adjustments for preconception health Other ways to connect: Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips Join Egg Whisperer School Subscribe to the newsletter to get updates Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America's most well known fertility doctors.
