The Egg Whisperer Show

Jennifer sent in a great question to "Ask the Egg Whisperer." She is 38, and from Seattle. Here's what she wrote," Hi Fertility Queen, you are the BEST! I'm 38 years old & diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. I've been through 5 rounds of IVF and have 2 5AA frozen embryos right now.  My husband and I want 2 kids therefore tried to bank another embryo but the 5th round failed therefore we are moving on to a FET.  I did a mock transfer and the BCL6 from the Receptiva came back positive therefore we are doing 2 Depot Lupron shots a month apart prior to the real transfer. My environment is good (healthy eating, lots of exercise, limited toxins in our beauty and cleaning products, great therapist). I'm taking a Prenatal with folate and DHA, Vitamin D, & Vitamin E.  Are there any other supplements I should take?  I've heard NAC may be good for endometriosis. Is there anything else I can do to prepare for this transfer?  I am willing to do whatever it takes to help my pregnancy chances.  Thank you so much!" The brief answer for Jennifer is this: 1. Have you done the ERA test on the two embryos you have? 2. Do you have symptoms of endometriosis? Consider the ReceptivaDX test, as it can determine if you might have silent endometriosis.  3. What other medications does your doctor have you on in addition to Depot? Tune in to hear my recommendations, and what I do for patients in similar situations, along with my answers to ten other listener questions.

I'm delighted to have Dr. Ramy Ghayda join me today to talk about sperm, and the importance of sperm DNA Fragmentation testing and how to improve sperm health. When trying to conceive it takes both an egg and sperm cell. And, as you'll hear Dr. Ghayda explain, we now have access to more tests for male factor infertility, and they are more affordable and accessible than ever. He and I both believe it's very important for people, and fertility patients (everyone, really!) to know their options and to be educated about what they can do to improve sperm quality, to test sperm quality. This can help make the whole journey the best it can be, and be one that hopefully leads to good outcomes.  Dr. Ghayda is a reproductive urologist. He is currently an assistant professor at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio and the Chief Medical Officer at Legacy, a company that is revolutionizing how men and couples test and freeze sperm, from home.

In this episode, I'm joined by one of my favorite fellow fertility doctors - Dr. Natalie Crawford, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, co-founder of Fora Fertility in Austin, Texas, host of the As a Woman podcast, and author of the brand-new book The Fertility Formula.  Dr. Crawford's journey into reproductive medicine is deeply personal: after experiencing four pregnancy losses and feeling dismissed by the medical system, she channeled that pain into a career dedicated to making sure no patient ever feels unheard or uninformed. Her book brings together the science of hormones, inflammation, cycle tracking, lifestyle, and fertility treatment in a way that is truly empowering and accessible. In our conversation, Natalie and I get honest about what modern fertility medicine often gets wrong, and what we can actually do about it. We explore how chronic inflammation is quietly hijacking fertility, how your menstrual cycle is far more than just a monthly event, and why the "it's just your age" or "it's just bad luck" narratives do a real disservice to patients. This is the kind of honest, science-backed, whole-body conversation I wish every fertility patient could have before they ever walked into a clinic. Read the full show notes on my website. In this episode, we cover: How chronic inflammation affects egg and sperm quality, hormonal signaling, and IVF outcomes, and what you can do to lower your inflammatory burden Why your menstrual cycle is a vital sign, and how to track it accurately to detect ovulation disorders before they cost you time The connection between fertility and long-term overall health, and why unexplained infertility may be a symptom of deeper metabolic imbalance How age impacts fertility  and why it's not the whole story when it comes to egg quality and cellular health Myth-busting: diet alone, cannabis use while trying to conceive, and whether fertility is just about luck When to seek a problem-focused appointment (not just wait for your annual exam) for irregular, painful, or missing periods Why lifestyle optimization and fertility treatment are not either/or, and how to do both without guilt or confusion Resources: The Fertility Formula by Dr. Natalie Crawford -  available wherever books are sold  Dr. Natalie Crawford online: @NatalieCrawfordMD (Instagram/social media) As a Woman Podcast, hosted by Dr. Natalie Crawford Fora Fertility: Dr. Crawford's practice in Austin, Texas: forafertility.com Natural Cycles app (for BBT-based cycle tracking) Oura Ring (wearable for basal body temperature tracking)  Apple Watch (wearable for BBT/cycle tracking with Natural Cycles)   Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with the incredible Dr. John Norian, a board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist with HRC Fertility in Pasadena and Rancho Cucamonga, California. Dr. Norian completed his residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, his fellowship at the NIH, and has served as a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Public Health Service, providing care to military families. He is a passionate advocate for anyone on a fertility journey, regardless of relationship status or anatomy. We dive deep into some of the most frustrating and complex scenarios that can arise during an IVF cycle:  the ones that leave patients (and sometimes doctors!) searching for answers. Dr. Norian brings his signature warmth, humor, and clinical depth to each challenge, and I think you'll walk away from this episode feeling more informed, empowered, and a little less alone if you've faced any of these situations yourself. In this episode, we cover: What to do when no eggs are retrieved at egg retrieval, including how trigger shot issues and empty follicle syndrome are investigated How to handle immature eggs and what protocol changes (like adjusting trigger timing or adding FSH) can improve egg maturity in future cycles Causes of failed fertilization and solutions like ICSI, calcium ionophore, and PICSI What to do when there's no sperm on retrieval day, including sperm emergencies, unexpected testosterone use, and surgical sperm retrieval options Why embryos may arrest before reaching blastocyst stage and how egg energy (mitochondrial health) plays a role Managing chromosomally abnormal embryos and when to consider karyotyping for recurrent IVF failure Thin uterine lining solutions, from injectable estrogen protocols to Viagra, pentoxifylline, vitamin E, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy Handling uterine fluid before transfer and options for patients who cannot tolerate injections or hormones Resources:Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Find Dr. John Norian at his website.

Today on the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can create your own personalized IVF Plan. Have you ever used Google Maps and been redirected midway via a better route? Alternatively, maybe you're proactive in managing traffic and go directly to Waze to get you from point A to point B in the most time effective way? These apps are well-loved and widely used because they remove obstacles out of an otherwise potentially painful process, and they do so with data. I bring the beauty of Google Maps into my fertility care by serving as a personal navigator for every one of my patient's IVF care and talked about it here. We tell these apps where we want to go, they determine our starting point and formulate a plan. It's not a one-size fits-all-route; it is customized and updated in real-time to avoid the proverbial bumps along the way. I would get lost daily without this personalized navigation.

Secondary infertility affects so many of my patients. In today's podcast episode, I'm talking about what happens when someone has no trouble getting pregnant for baby number one and then struggles to conceive another child. People in this situation often don't know what to do because this is so new to them. I'm sharing everything you need to know about secondary infertility: the causes, treatments, and some of my tips. The truth is, secondary infertility is overwhelming and upsetting. You want to make sure that you have people around that support you, so I also encourage you to share this episode with your family and friends, so they know how to support you going through something that can be soul-crushing. I'm a very positive person, but I understand how hard it is to be a fertility patient.  Read the full show notes and transcript on Dr. Aimee's website Buy Dr. Aimee's Book "The Egg Whisperer Way" on Amazon!

I'm joined by extraordinary women who are changing the way women understand our fertility cycles: Toni Weschler, internationally respected women's health educator and author of the landmark book Taking Charge of Your Fertility (translated into 12 languages), and Sabrina Nowicki, engineer, product designer, fertility awareness method practitioner, and CEO of Cyclisity -  the new app built as the perfect companion to Toni's book. What makes this collaboration even more special? Toni is Sabrina's aunt, and their bond has been at the heart of this project from the very beginning. We are talking about why so many women have never been taught the basics of their own cycles, and how the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) offers a science-backed, no-algorithm, no-black-box approach to understanding your body. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating a fertility treatment cycle, or simply want to take charge of your reproductive health, this conversation will change the way you think about your cycle: from drama to data. Read the full show notes on my website. In this episode, we cover: What the Fertility Awareness Method actually is,  and how it's completely different from the outdated rhythm method The two primary fertility signs (basal body temperature and cervical fluid) and why the symptothermal method is more reliable than tracking one sign alone How Cyclisity was built to mirror the exact terminology and rules in Taking Charge of Your Fertility  making it a true companion to the book Why Cyclisity uses no predictive algorithms and gives you full transparency into how each day of your cycle is classified How FAM charting can help fertility patients bring richer, more actionable data to their doctor, potentially expediting diagnosis and treatment The common mistakes beginners make when starting to chart, and how the app is designed to support learning and reduce errors Cyclisity's commitment to user privacy: self-funded, no data selling, no ads, with the option to store your data only on your phone or personal iCloud Resources: Cyclisity app (Apple App Store): https://www.cyclisity.com/ Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler: tcoyf.com Cycle Savvy by Toni Weschler (for teens): available online Cyclisity on Instagram: @cyclisity Cyclisity on TikTok: @cyclisityapp Sabrina Nowicki on Instagram & TikTok: @wanderingsabrina Buy Dr. Aimee's Book "The Egg Whisperer Way" on Amazon!

On today's podcast episode, I'm talking about preparing for embryo transfer. I find that it's helpful to think about embryo transfer the same way you might think about having a very special guest over for dinner. What are you going to do if you have a very special person over? You're going to make sure everything is absolutely perfect. When it comes to preparing for an embryo transfer, you want to take the same approach. Your metaphorical home in the house analogy is your uterus. The devastation of doing more tests and finding out that something might be wrong that you have to fix is kind of a pain, but the devastation of going through a transfer that doesn't work is also pretty darn awful. Because I work so hard to help families, if I can do anything to prevent someone from not experiencing the devastation of a negative embryo transfer, I'm going to do everything possible to clean up that house and make sure it's perfect. What I recommend is that people do 3 tests before embryo transfer to make sure your uterus is absolutely perfect prior to your embryo transfer.They are: Hysteroscopy Saline Infusion, Sonogram, and Hysterosalpingogram.

In early 2019, Gina, Jen, and Maya came together as mamas on a mission to transform the landscape of embryo donation. Each of them had a different fertility journey that had a connection to embryo donation, and wanted to make embryo donation better understood, more inclusive, and more accessible. And, they wanted to bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and child well being. I'm so excited to have them on the show. In this episode (which is Part 1 of 2), we're covering donating embryos. Gina and Jen will be talking about options for people who want to donate their embryos, including the psychological considerations, and what patients should know before donating embryos to another family.

In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with my friend and fellow "Aimee," Aimee Raupp -  bestselling author, fertility expert, and licensed acupuncturist who has spent over 20 years helping women around the world improve their fertility using an integrative approach that blends Western science with Eastern wisdom. Aimee has just released an updated edition of her landmark book Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, with modern protocols designed especially for women in their late thirties and forties. She also shares her own deeply personal fertility journey, including conceiving naturally at 40 and navigating a devastating miscarriage at 45. Together we dig into what's really driving the fertility crisis and it's not just age. We explore why the word "infertile" needs to be retired, how environmental toxins and chronic stress are quietly disrupting reproductive health, and why unexplained infertility is really just an unexplored diagnosis. We also talk about the powerful role of joy, nervous system regulation, and the latest research showing the ovaries are wired directly to the nervous system. Plus, we discuss cutting-edge options like ovarian PRP rejuvenation and how to create a "no regret plan" for your fertility journey. In this episode, we cover: Why fertility rates are declining even among women in their twenties and why it's not just about age The environmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, and nutrient depletion silently harming reproductive health Why the labels "infertile" and "unexplained infertility" are harmful and what's usually hiding underneath The role of inflammation, immune dysregulation, gut health, and metabolic stress in fertility challenges How joy, pleasure, and nervous system regulation directly influence hormones and egg quality Practical lifestyle shifts, lab work, and prep protocols for egg freezing and IVF Ovarian PRP rejuvenation: what the latest research shows and who it may help Resources: Aimee Raupp's website: aimeeraupp.com Yes, You Can Get Pregnant by Aimee Raupp (revised edition for 2026, now available): https://amzn.to/4s0vQfS Aimee Raupp on Instagram and TikTok @aimeeraupp The Egg Whisperer Show podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts Dr. Aimee's Supplement Stack information My Book, The Egg Whisperer Way comes out in Summer of 2026.

In this episode, I break down my "Angel Workup" -  the five essential steps every person should take after experiencing a miscarriage.  As a reproductive endocrinologist and miscarriage expert, I'm sharing the framework I created as part of my Miscarriage Revolution so you can feel empowered, informed, and ready to move forward. Read the full show notes on my website. This episode covers the A.N.G.E.L. workup:  a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to understanding why a miscarriage happened and what you can do next. We talk about the role of age, autoimmune conditions, uterine anatomy, nutrition, genetics, endocrinology, and lifestyle factors. I also walk you through how to collect pregnancy tissue for genetic testing, why you should never blame yourself, and how both female and male partners play a role in preventing future losses. In this episode, we cover: The A.N.G.E.L. workup: Age, Autoimmune diseases, and Anatomy -  including AMH, FSH, estradiol, antral follicle count, and uterine anomalies like septums Why nutrition matters for fertility and miscarriage prevention, including plant-based diets, celiac disease screening, and the HOPE approach for PCOS Genetic testing for both partners -  karyotype, carrier screening, sperm DNA fragmentation, and pregnancy tissue testing using the Anora test How to safely collect pregnancy tissue at home for genetic analysis Endocrine factors like thyroid disorders, high prolactin, and diabetes that can contribute to miscarriage Lifestyle changes for both partners - BMI, alcohol, smoking, and "sperm bootcamp" Why self-blame after miscarriage is common but unfounded, and how testing can provide real answers Resources: The Egg Whisperer School: eggwhispererschool.com The Anora Test (pregnancy tissue genetic testing): anora test by Natera The Egg Whisperer Show podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts Dr. Aimee's Supplement Stack information My Book, The Egg Whisperer Way comes out in Summer of 2026.

I am so excited to share this conversation with you. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mark Ratner, Chief Science Officer at Theralogix, to talk about a topic I've become incredibly passionate about: NAD+ and its role in egg quality and fertility. If you've been wondering what NAD+ actually is, why your eggs need it, and whether supplementation could make a real difference in your IVF or egg freezing outcomes, this is a must-listen. We get into the science of how NAD+ and sirtuins work together in our cells, why their decline with age is such a big deal for egg health, and the emerging research — from mouse studies to a promising new human trial — suggesting that boosting NAD+ levels could improve fertilization and pregnancy rates. I also share a personal story about a patient whose results completely blew me away after she started NAD+ supplementation on her own. This is the kind of conversation that gets me fired up about the future of fertility medicine. In this episode, we cover: What NAD+ is and how it's present in every cell of your body The role of mitochondria in egg development and why eggs require more energy than any other cell What sirtuins are and how SIRT1 appears to regulate ovarian reserve How the age-related decline in NAD+ and sirtuins creates a "double whammy" for egg quality The connection between NAD+, chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy), and diminished ovarian reserve Key findings from mouse studies and a new human study showing doubled fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates with NAD+ boosting How to start supplementing and what to look for My Book, The Egg Whisperer Way comes out in Summer of 2026.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ramy Ghayda, an experienced urologist and the Chief Medical Officer at Legacy, to dive deep into the world of male fertility. Dr. Ghayda brings his expertise in urology and male infertility to discuss why it's "always nice to have sperm on ice,"a phrase I say often because preserving male fertility is just as important as egg freezing. We explore Legacy's revolutionary approach to men's reproductive health, a digital fertility clinic that provides everything from at-home semen analysis and sperm freezing to DNA fragmentation testing, telehealth consultations, and nutritional support: all designed to fill the gap in fertility care that has traditionally focused only on women. Throughout our conversation, Dr. Ghayda and I discuss the alarming decline in male fertility rates over the past few decades and what's causing it; from environmental toxins and endocrine-disrupting chemicals to lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and sleep. We talk about why fertility should be considered the sixth vital sign and how infertile men face higher risks of chronic diseases later in life. Dr. Ghayda also shares his passion for breaking the taboos around male infertility, rebalancing the emotional workload in couples struggling to conceive, and helping men understand that they are 50% of the fertility equation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in optimizing their reproductive health or supporting their partner through the fertility journey.
