Ever wonder how s***m actually fertilizes the egg—and why some patients are told they need ICSI? In this episode, we break down the science of fertilization, from natural s***m-egg interaction to the lab techniques that give s***m a helping hand. We’ll talk about when ICSI (intracytoplasmic s***m injection) is essential, when standard IVF is just as good, and why using ICSI for everyone isn’t always the right answer. Whether you’re preparing for IVF or just curious about how fertilization really works, this episode will help you understand the choices, the myths, and the facts behind one of the most important steps in making embryos.

🎙️ New Episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday!

Are Day-7 embryos doomed to fail — or are they just late bloomers? 🌱

In this episode, Dr. Mark Amols explains why embryos that don’t reach blastocyst until Day 7 have lower odds than their Day 5 and Day 6 counterparts. Using a marathon analogy, he unpacks the science, the history of how labs used to discard these embryos, and why they still deserve a chance.

Whether you’re in the middle of IVF, supporting someone who is, or just curious about embryo science, this episode brings clarity and hope.

If you or someone you know has a Day-7 embryo, share this episode — it may change the way they see their chances. 💙

🎙️ New Episode Out Now!
MitoSure or Mito-Not-Sure: Should You Trust the MitoSure Score?
➡️ Listen here: https://t.ly/EPUFy

Is this mitochondria-based score a hidden gem in embryo selection… or just another number that sounds smart but doesn’t help?

In this week’s Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols dives into:
🧬 What MitoSure actually measures
⚡ Why mitochondria matter more than you think
🤯 The crazy evolutionary origin of these energy machines
🔢 Why a score of “2” in one lab might mean “18” in another
💡 And whether this test is worth factoring into your embryo decisions

Spoiler: It’s more “tiebreaker” than “game-changer”… but still a mitochondrial rollercoaster.

👶✨ Baby’s First Pictures: Decoding the First Trimester Ultrasound

Ever wonder what you should see on an ultrasound during early pregnancy? From the first tiny sac, to the yolk sac “lunchbox,” to that flicker of a heartbeat—Dr. Mark Amols walks you week by week through what to expect on your baby’s very first pictures.

🎙️ In this week’s Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, we cover:
✅ When to expect each structure (sac, yolk sac, fetal pole, heartbeat)
✅ What “being behind” really means—and when it’s concerning
✅ How big the baby is at each step
✅ What the placenta and nuchal translucency tell us
✅ Why one ultrasound is just a snapshot, not the whole story

👉 Listen now and decode the milestones of the first trimester!

You finally got the positive test after IVF or IUI — but now what? On this episode of S***m Meets Egg, Dr. Mark Amols and Dr. Wael Salem take live questions and share what really happens in the first weeks of pregnancy after fertility treatment.

From understanding your beta hCG numbers, to when to expect your first ultrasound, to knowing how long to stay on progesterone and estrogen — we’ll walk through the early milestones step by step. We’ll also talk about the emotional side: the anxiety, the excitement, and the reality of ‘graduating’ from your fertility clinic to your OB.

Whether you just got your positive test or are preparing for this stage, join the conversation and get your questions answered live.
