The Egg Whisperer Show

Submit your Ask The Egg Whisperer Questions on my website. I'm so grateful for the brave and thoughtful questions you send in every week. In this episode, we covered important topics around fertility, IVF, egg quality, transfer success, and more. Your stories inspire me, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey. 💛 Here are a few of the questions I answered in this week's show: Should my partner stop taking dutasteride and using the hot tub if his sperm tests are normal? What's the chance of success with an embryo that was re-biopsied and thawed/refrozen? For women over 40 with embryos that arrest at day 6 or 7, is a day 3 transfer a better option? Can a "lazy ovary" be boosted through supplements or other approaches? How should fibroids be addressed before an embryo transfer to improve success rates? Thank you again for trusting me with your questions and journeys.
