The Egg Whisperer Show

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 their fertility options. There is humor. There is honest talk. Most importantly, you will learn about clear steps you can take after the party is over. This is not merely an information session, this is meant to inspire action!

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 share what I know in the event that it's even the tiniest bit helpful to you and your fertility journey.

I'm excited to share this episode, where I joined Dr. Kirti Patel to talk all about egg freezing on The Gynarchy Podcast. We discuss why egg freezing matters, how it works, and what every woman should know about her fertility options. As a fertility specialist with deep roots in women's health (and a family legacy in OB/GYN), I'm passionate about empowering women with the knowledge and choices they deserve. In this conversation, I share my personal journey, the inspiration behind my work, and why I believe education is the key to reproductive autonomy. During our interview, Dr. Patel and I dive into the evolving landscape of egg freezing, the cultural and societal factors influencing women's choices, and the realities (both medical and emotional) of fertility preservation. We discuss the science, the misconceptions, and the importance of making informed decisions, whether you're considering egg freezing for yourself or just want to better understand your reproductive health. My goal is to demystify the process and help women feel confident, not fearful, about their options. In this episode, we cover: My personal and professional journey into fertility medicine, including generational influences and early experiences in my father's practice The origins and evolution of "egg freezing parties" and how they've become a platform for education and empowerment The step-by-step process of egg freezing, including preparation, testing, and what to expect physically and emotionally Common side effects, risks, and the psychological impact of fertility treatments The role of genetics, age, and lifestyle in fertility planning, and how to personalize your approach Debunking myths: egg freezing as an "insurance policy," who should consider it, and the realities of success rates The intersection of workplace benefits, societal pressures, and reproductive rights in the context of fertility care Resources: Dr. Kirti Patel's website and The Gynarchy podcast (go subscribe!)

Have you ever wondered what actually happens to your frozen eggs, embryos, and sperm after they leave the fertility clinic? In this episode I'm uncovering the hidden world of cryostorage: from how your reproductive tissues are kept safe for years, to why storage prices vary so wildly, to how private equity has quietly taken over parts of the fertility industry and what that means for patients. If you have anything frozen or are planning to, this conversation will change how you think about where your samples live. My guest is Charlie Boyer, co-founder and CEO of Generations Cryovault, an independent cryostorage company. Charlie brings years of experience in cryogenic storage — starting in cord blood banking before pivoting to fertility storage with a mission to bring transparency, fair pricing, and rigorous safety standards to an industry he saw as the "Wild West." In this episode, we cover: How frozen eggs, embryos, and sperm are cared for over years of storage and what "boring" looks like for your tissues The safeguards in place to prevent tank failures, meltdowns, and chain-of-custody errors including real-time monitoring, human inspection, and ISO 9001 certification How natural disasters, earthquakes, and floods factor into choosing a storage facility location Safe transportation of reproductive tissues between clinics and storage facilities, including insurance coverage during transport What actually goes into the price of annual cryostorage and why costs range from $195 to over $1,400 per year How private equity has entered the fertility storage industry and its impact on pricing and patient care The different storage models clinics offer: private label, directed storage, and independent choice and why transparency and patient rights matter when signing contracts Resources Generations Cryovault: gencryo.com Contact Charlie Boyer directly: charlie.b @ gencryo.com Subscribe to The Egg Whisperer Show on YouTube or Spotify Would you like to learn about IVF?

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm diving into one of the most important parts of the IVF journey: how to cope with setbacks. IVF can be frustrating, emotional, and downright hard. But it can also be empowering, educational, and full of possibility. I'm walking you through the five most common IVF challenges, and offering tools to help you reframe them so you can move forward feeling hopeful and in control. We'll talk about what happens when your cycle gets delayed, when your follicles don't grow as expected, and what to do when the numbers (eggs, embryos, blastocysts) don't go your way. I'll also share real patient stories and offer perspective on how to stay grounded and supported through every twist in the journey. In this episode, we cover: Why IVF cycles sometimes start with delays, and how to use that time productively What to do if your follicles don't grow or respond to medication as expected How to cope with fewer eggs retrieved or fertilized than hoped What to know if embryo development or testing results don't go as planned How to support your mental health and build a strong emotional foundation Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Do you want to learn more about IVF?

Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website. Today, I'm excited to be talking all about hormones, fertility, and PCOS (now called PMOS) with dietitian and nutritionist Melissa Groves Azzaro. Melissa is the host of the "Hormonally Yours" podcast, and author of the book "A Balanced Approach to PCOS." Her podcast focuses on science based information about PMOS, fertility, and other hormone imbalances. She works with clients to figure out the root cause of their PMOS symptoms, and creates personalized plans for clients that go way beyond their diet to get them feeling better. In this interview, Melissa walks us through some diet options that help balance blood sugar and hormones, which can help with PMOS symptoms. She uses the acronym PFF (protein, fat, and fiber), and I can't wait for you to hear her explain it! We're going to be talking about the role a stressful lifestyle may play in infertility and PMOS, how diet impacts PMOS, and how you can make simple changes to improve your health and fertility outcomes.

Discover all the answers to some of the most common questions you may have about your menstrual cycle, hormones in your menstrual cycle, ovulation, implantation, and the 2ww (two week wait). If you are trying to get pregnant, you may have heard the term—two week wait, the often nervous time of waiting between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test. For many, this is a dreaded time because it's hard to know exactly what is happening. But by learning more about your cycle, you can have more knowledge about what might happen. The implantation window is during the two week wait. Since progesterone is the hormone responsible for supporting implantation, it must be present during the entire implantation window. You can track your progesterone during this window by tracking PdG, progesterone in urine. Proov has unique testing capabilities to test PdG during the implantation window to confirm successful ovulation. Studies show PdG levels are incredibly important for implantation and pregnancy success, for example, women with high PdG during the implantation window were 75% more likely to get pregnant. In contrast, women with low PdG had a miscarriage rate of 90%. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

Embryo Glue is one of the most talked-about IVF add-ons. Does it actually lives up to the hype? I invited Dr. Nirvika Singh Sharma, associate lab director at Ovation Fertility San Antonio, to share what her new research found about embryo glue. Dr. Sharma is a physician, reproductive scientist, and embryologist who recently led a major study presented at ESHRE examining whether EmbryoGlue, a high-concentration hyaluronan transfer medium, actually improves outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles. We dig into what embryo glue really is, what her research found across 593 euploid FET cycles, and what patients should know before paying extra for this popular IVF add-on. Read the full show notes. In this episode, we cover: What EmbryoGlue actually is How hyaluronan works in the reproductive tract and whether more of it helps implantation Dr. Sharma's study design: 593 single euploid frozen embryo transfers across four medium combinations The results: pregnancy rates were 63–67% regardless of whether EmbryoGlue or standard media was used The difference between proven effective and possible benefit in IVF add-ons What actually drives implantation: embryo quality, ploidy, and the embryo-endometrium conversation Resources: Ovation Fertility San Antonio: ovationfertility.com Connect with Dr. Nirvika Singh Sharma on LinkedIn Dr. Sharma's research presented at ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) Do you have questions about IVF?
