Recently, April wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer a question. She and her husband are 40, and he was diagnosed with male factor oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT). His sperm meet the criteria for IVF, and here is what she asks, "We were given surprisingly good odds for success and I'm skeptical.I've had one successful pregnancy 15 years ago. Our doctor gave us 60-70% chance of pregnancy using ivf, icsi and genetic testing of embryos. Do you feel this is an accurate assessment of our odds of success? Or is the clinic just trying to get us to do ivf by sugar coating things?" Tune in to hear my answer to this question, and 9 others be sure and tune in to this episode.

Recently, Bree from Oregon wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She asked if I'd talk about when a natural FET is indicated, as she has had three failed euploid FETs, and would like to increase her chances of pregnancy with her remaining 6 embryos. Here's her question, "Hi Dr. Aimee, thanks for all you do! Can you talk about when a natural FET is indicated? I've had three failed euploid FETs with an ERA and increasing medication intervention each cycle. My RE has suggested trying a natural FET since I was able to get pregnant on a letrozole IUI in 2019 (but miscarried just before 10 weeks). What are the pros/cons of natural, and would you agree with this approach next? I have 6 embryos left and if I cannot get pregnant, my wife would go next, but she really doesn't want to carry and I desperately do. Thanks for your thoughts!"

Recently, Jane wrote in to Ask the Egg Whisperer from Massachusetts. She's already done one round of IVF, and she "was happy with the number of eggs and fertilization but was disappointment about only one euploid with just OK grades." She's about to do a second round of IVF, and asks, "which protocol would you use for my case to potentially increase the number of normal embryos? Many thanks!"
