The Egg Whisperer Show

As a fertility doctor, I help my patients create the family they want, or preserve their fertility for whatever the future may hold. Part of why I love what I do is that I get to understand the whole person that I treat. Not just their body, but their emotional well-being too. We can't look at humans with tunnel vision. Nor can we look at fertility that way either. The act of going through fertility treatment is as emotional as it is physical. Today on the podcast, I'm sharing the ten things to STOP doing if you're a fertility patient.

Dr. Deborah Simmons provides specialized counseling for infertility-related trauma and pregnancy loss. She works with clinics around the country. She is passionate about helping fertility patients (she calls them "pre-parents") as they work through the journey of becoming a parent, whether that be through IUI, IVF, donor eggs, donor sperm, donor embryos, or surrogacy. She shares so many great insights about how to handle the mental-wellness side of things when you're going through fertility treatment. Here are few key items she shares: For yourself: Find compassion for yourself throughout treatment If partnered: Looking to your partner and acknowledging their feelings about the journey With friends: Let them know what you need while also honoring what you need With Co-workers: Let them know you're having "medical problems" and don't feel you have to share everything.

I started throwing Egg Freezing parties as a fun way for people to learn about fertility. There is humor. There is honest talk. Mostly, I throw them because I want every person to be empowered with knowledge about their fertility. It's really as simple as that. Egg Freezing parties are safe and surgery-free gatherings of women (and sometimes men) to learn more about the process of freezing your eggs (or sperm). Beyond that, we talk in general about fertility and how every woman (and man) can take a proactive role in preserving theirs. I started Egg Freezing parties for a simple reason. Older women were in my office struggling with fertility only to wish they had known more when they were younger. Had someone told them to get their fertility levels checked and to consider the option of preserving their eggs they most certainly would have. I don't want to hear years from now that women wished they'd known more about their fertility. This is what drives me to throw parties to make sure everyone knows they have options!

Dr. Ramy Ghayda is back today for the Fertility Expert Series. He and I are talking all about how men can test, freeze and store sperm. His company, Legacy, is doing really great things, for sperm freezing. And, at the same time you freeze your sperm, you can get an analysis and sperm fragmentation testing. The magic of this service is that it allows men to collect sperm from home, and then send it off to a lab. From there, it can be used for IVF, or it can be frozen and stored for later use. Tune in to learn more about Dr. Ghayda and learn all about sperm. Tune in to our original interview here and read the transcript on Dr. Aimee's website.

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast I'm excited to have Jon Waldman as my guest. He is a Winnipeg-based writer talking to us about his recent book, Swimming Aimlessly: One Man's Journey through Infertility and What We Can All Learn from It. In 2009, Jon and his wife embarked on a six-year journey through infertility, which concluded in 2015 with the birth of their daughter. Jon is joining me to talk about his journey, and how infertility impacts men. I'm deeply grateful that he is sharing his story with the world, because we don't always hear about the impact that infertility has on men from an emotional and psychological standpoint. Infertility is so difficult for everyone involved, and Jon shares his story with authenticity, humor, and love.
