The Egg Whisperer Show

Dr. Kate O'Leary joins Dr. Aimee to talk all about fertility treatment options for military families. As a former military doctor and Lieutenant Colonel with the US Air Force, she has expert fertility advice that today's men and women in the military need to hear. We're covering the infertility factors that are unique to men and women in the military, fertility treatment options for active military and veterans, and what those in the military can do to preserve their fertility. Knowing that there are unique stresses involved with serving in the armed forces, I'm especially interested in talking to her about how these brave men and women can grow their families with the support and love they deserve.

As part of the IVF cycle, patients are given hormones which stimulates the ovaries to allow all the possible follicles and eggs to grow. The good news is that this often allows us to capture as many healthy eggs as possible in one cycle, giving a patient a better chance at a healthy embryo. One possible side effect is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. Dr. Nichole Barker of Seattle Reproductive Medicine joins me on the podcast today to talk all about OHSS. What do you need to know before IVF? What are the symptoms of OHSS? What's the protocol for a patient (and her doctor) should she have symptoms?⠀ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

I get asked questions about IVF daily, from my patients and from those seeking treatment elsewhere in the United States and beyond. While the steps involved in IVF are generally the same, the factors to consider and the patient's needs are all unique. While I can't cover all scenarios in a single show (or blog post), I do want to recap some of the most common questions I get and answer some specific inquiries that were emailed to me. There's a chance you have the same question as someone else. Read all of the show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

You likely already know Heidi Murkoff - she is the author of the internationally bestselling What to Expect series of pregnancy and parenting guides, which includes What to Expect When You're Expecting. (And knowing how beloved this book is, it probably comes as no surprise that this popular book has sold over 40 million copies in 42 languages). It goes without saying that I am beyond honored to have her join me today as the guest on The Egg Whisperer Show. In this conversation, we're talking about what inspired Heidi to write the first What to Expect When You're Expecting, her community of 20 million moms, the non profit she founded that helps at-risk moms, and what's changed since the book first came out 25 years ago. Time magazine named Heidi one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2011, and she and her husband Erik have received numerous awards for their humanitarian work, including, in June of 2022, the highest award given to civilians by the department of defense, the Fisher Distinguished Civilian Humanitarian award.

As a fertility doctor at IRMS Reproductive Medicine in New Jersey, Dr. Mann is sharing her professional expertise and personal experience with Asherman's Syndrome. Also known as "intrauterine scarring," Asherman's is an acquired condition (meaning you're not born with it). Some patients with Asherman's have difficulty getting pregnant.

Dr. Eric Forman is the medical and lab director at Columbia University Fertility Center where he oversees the medical practice as well as IVF embryology and andrology labs, while also actively seeing patients. He set the standard for eSETs (elective single embryo transfers) across the globe. And, he revolutionized how we freeze eggs, with his research proving that the rapid vitrification technology does not increase the risk of genetic abnormalities in embryos. Dr. Forman is joining me today on the Egg Whisperer Show podcast to discuss a hot topic in fertility medicine: PGT-A. We are going to discuss preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), the science behind this testing, and a recent paper, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Live Birth with or Without Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy).
