Sarah wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer, and she sent the following question, "I have done 12 embryo transfers over the past 2 years (failed due to several reasons). During the transfers, my lining always thickened nicely (minimum 9), I have never had a problem with thin lining. All my cycles were medicated and not natural FETs. However, for the past 2 cycles, my lining has been thin (doesn't exceed 5). What could be the reason?" Tune in to hear my answer and answers to other questions.

In this episode of Ask The Egg Whisperer, Maree writes in with this question," Hi Dr Aimee! Love your jokes and sense of humour. We are so lucky to have you as a positive beacon of hope on this fertility journey. I am 40 years old, my AMH is.46, and FSH is 8. At my first retrieval, we fertilized 2 eggs. One made it to day 5, no blast, the second blasted! But it was not genetically normal. Is it useful to get the embryo report from the lab even though the blastocyst wasn't genetically normal? Can the grading of the egg still be useful in learning more about my egg quality?" Tune in to hear my answer and answers to other questions.

I have patients that come to me from all over the world. There's one question I always ask when reviewing their IVF cycle history. What was your embryo quality? I hear time and time again from patients that they don't know it because their doctor told them embryo quality doesn't matter with IVF. That's simply not true! Just like diamonds in a jewelry store. Quality matters. Just like there is a grading system for diamonds, there is also a grading system for embryos. It's important for you to know that this exists and to ask for your embryo grade. When it comes to getting pregnant and IVF, the implantation rate is determined by the embryo quality and rating. Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

One of the most common questions I get asked is "Why didn't my IUI work?" It's a great question because there are many factors that come into play with intrauterine insemination. If you're my patient, we'd start by checking the Fallopian tubes, uterus, and sperm quality first.⠀ But let's say you've done the #TUSHYcheck, the tubes are clear and everything else looks good. So why doesn't IUI work? ⠀ The answer I share with my patients is: because you're human. Yes, it's really as simple as that. ⠀ To put IUI into perspective, 90% of the time it doesn't work. ⠀ So if your IUI didn't work, I want you to know that there's nothing wrong with you, and you're normal, and human. It's that simple.⠀ Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Today on Ask The Egg Whisperer, I'm answering a question from Diana. She is 37 years old and lives in Hungary. Here's what Diana has to say, "I had stage four endometriosis surgery in 2016, and we've been trying to conceive for one year. We had an IVF in December. Only one embryo turned into a blast, but did not stick around. I don't seem to produce many eggs. My IVF doctor wants to do a long protocol now. What do you think, should I do endometriosis surgery first because of my issues, and then IVF (maybe a long protocol)?"

In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about egg and sperm quality. The topic was introduced in a recent Ask The Egg Whisperer session by Nicky who asked, "Are there any supplements or treatments you can recommend for helping Day 3 embryos reach blastocyst?" And to answer this, I want to share about a mnemonic, called AGE. Embryos, or blastocysts have everything to do with your Age Genetics Environment Of course, you can't control how old you are, nor can you control the genetics you were born with, or that your partner was born with. However, if you have the ability to freeze eggs, sperm, or embryos, then you can preserve your fertility by doing so. And, you can control your environment by sleeping well, exercising, most days of the week, having a diet rich in antioxidants and following an anti-inflammatory type diet, avoiding the environmental toxins.

Live with Lucy Lines! Today, Lucy and I are answering your embryology questions on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast, as part of the Fertility Expert Series.
