I use Depot Lupron in my practice quite a bit for patients who have implantation issues, mostly related to endometriosis. We can also use it for women who have fibroid uterus, adenomyosis, as well. Tune in, and I hope you get a chuckle just like I do when I share this stuff with you. Today on the Egg Whisperer Show Podcast, I'm sharing about the 10 things that you need to know to survive Depot Lupron. Think of this as your Depot Lupron survival guide. Here is a sampling of the top 5: 1. The first thing to realize is that you have to be prepared for dryness. I'm talking like communion wafer level of dryness. We're talking about dryness in your vagina. Thank you, Depot Lupron. 2. Practice self care. 3. Mood change can occur with Depot Lupron, so you want to be prepared and be a proactive participant in what's happening. 4. Eat like an adult, not like a garbage disposal teenager. 5. Keep your eye on the prize. As one of my patients says, "My race is not done yet, but I know love conquers all eventually. I'm here for it and I'm going to fight the good fight until I'm done. You can, too. Let's go, girl." Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Dr. Geoffrey Sher is joining me again, and this time we are going to talk about implantation failure during IVF. Dr. Sher is co-founder of Sher Fertility Solutions (SFS) and an internationally renowned expert in the field of assisted reproductive technology, and influential in the births of more than 17,000 IVF babies. One day I hope that I'll be able to say the same thing about myself. Over the last 30 years, he has helped fashion the entire field of ART after training under the fathers of IVF, Dr. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. He established the first private IVF program in the United States in 1982, then later expanded his practice to include several centers throughout California before founding the first Sher Fertility Solutions in Las Vegas. He's also the author of several books, In Vitro Fertilization: The ART of Making Babies, which is now in its third edition. In this episode, we're talking about implantation failure during IVF. Many times I wonder why embryos do not stick and grow. Dr. Sher is discussing the role of the endometrium, the difference between implantation and miscarriage, and the three factors he considers when advising on treatment for implantation failure.

Should I delay my transfer after a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis and endometriosis? That was one of the thoughtful questions I answered in this week's Ask The Egg Whisperer LIVE Q&A! I love going live to answer real questions from this amazing community. Whether you're just beginning to think about growing your family or navigating your way through IVF, this space is for learning, connection, and support. Here are a few more questions I covered in this week's episode: 💬 What do you suggest for fragile eggs after 5 IVF cycles? I have very low blast rates. 💬 We had a failed cycle, and we're exploring options to address DNA fragmentation for my partner. 💬 I've had 4 egg retrievals, but no blasts—even after trying TESE and Omnitrope. What's next? 💬 Is cabergoline helpful for adenomyosis—especially in shrinking the uterus before a frozen embryo transfer? It's always incredible to see the support you all give each other in the comments during the live! Your strength, curiosity, and compassion make this community so special. Whether you're asking or listening in, I hope you walked away feeling more informed, prepared, and hopeful. 📺 You can catch the replay now on Instagram, and be sure to check out The Egg Whisperer Show on YouTube. 🎧 The podcast is also available on Spotify and Apple!
