Today on the Egg Whisperer Show, I’m delighted to have the inventor of the IVF Pyramid joining me! 

So often in IVF, we talk about things in terms of depletion. What are you losing? For example, you start off with a certain number of eggs at the beginning of the cycle. That’s called the antral follicle count. As the cycle progresses sometimes not all of those eggs grow. In the end, for example, you may gain two healthy embryo...

The time to talk about "everything I can possibly do to give myself the best chance of pregnancy success" is BEFORE your embryo transfer. Not after. This is why I discuss tests like the ERA test and Receptivadx test with all my patients before transfer. Every embryo is important to me and I want to make sure I'm doing the very best job for every patient I meet.⠀⁠

Ever wondered what the heck AMH stands for? It’s been a hot topic recently, as women are getting their AMH levels tested. AMH is short for Anti-Müllerian Hormone – a nifty little hormone secreted by the egg-surrounding cells in your ovaries. Think of it as a fertility fortune-teller with a murky crystal ball, giving you some valuable clues into...

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...

I do this with my patients all the time.

There’s a lot of truth-telling that goes on in my office, and often myth-busting is necessary to get to the truth.

Perhaps you can relate — there are so many headlines and hearsay stories about fertility. Do you struggle to disseminate between what is evidence-based and what is not?

I don’t care where you live or who your doctor is. My goal is to shar...
