In this episode of Ask The Egg Whisperer, I answered your fertility questions live! These Q&A sessions are truly one of the highlights of my week. I love connecting with you directly and offering personalized insights to help you better understand your fertility and take the next best step forward. Whether you’re just getting started, in the middle of IVF, or thinking ahead to embryo transfer, I’m here to support you with answers grounded in science and compassion.

In this episode, we cover:

What to consider when you have only one embryo at 41 after freezing eggs in your 30s
Whether it’s safe to take NAD while pregnant or breastfeeding
How long it’s safe to be on Letrozole, especially with conditions like endometriosis, Hashimoto’s, and Lyme disease
If you should delay embryo transfer to focus on improving your health first
Whether Day 3 labs are still necessary when using Letrozole
How Type 2 diabetes, even when well-managed, might impact IVF outcomes
What changes can help improve egg maturity after a disappointing retrieval
How to stay hopeful, informed, and empowered in your fertility journey
