Description

Okay, so you’ve harvested eggs—now what? 🤯
That question is exactly why Dr. Carrie Bedient is joining us today. As Southern Nevada’s first female board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, a fertility expert at The Fertility Center of Las Vegas, and co-host of the Fertility Docs Uncensored podcast, Dr. Bedient has a gift for simplifying what often feels overwhelming.

In this episode, we break down what happens after egg retrieval:
✅ How embryos are created
✅ Genetic testing—when it helps and what to consider
✅ Deciding whether to use donor eggs and/or move toward surrogacy
✅ Emotional fatigue and decision overwhelm
✅ What to expect from your embryology team
✅ The science and the emotion behind your next steps

If you’re deep in IVF, considering donor eggs, or staring down a dozen fertility decisions with no idea where to start—this is your roadmap. You'll walk away feeling more confident, informed, and empowered in your fertility journey.
