I’m so excited to welcome Dr. Laura Londra from Ohio Reproductive Medicine to The Egg Whisperer Show today!
We’re diving deep into a critical topic: ectopic pregnancy — what it is, how it’s diagnosed, treatment options, and who’s at risk.

Ectopic pregnancy happens when an embryo implants outside the uterus, most often in the fallopian tube. It’s a serious condition that requires early diagnosis through hormone monitoring and ultrasound. The good news? Many ectopic pregnancies can now be treated medically with methotrexate, avoiding emergency surgery.

Dr. Londra also shares who is more at risk — including those with previous tubal issues, infections, endometriosis, smoking, or undergoing fertility treatments — and why early evaluation of your fallopian tubes can be so important.

If you or someone you know wants to understand this complex and often misunderstood condition better, this episode is a must-listen.

Tammi, I am thrilled for you and so appreciative of your kind words. Congratulations to you and your beautiful family! 14 years is a long time to wait, but holding on for a dream-come-true is worth it.

I know many patients who have spent a lot of years waiting and struggling with their fertility. It’s hard to keep getting disappointing news over and over. It hurts in a particularly painful way when it feels like you have to stay so open and vulnerable while repeatedly having your heart broken.

When you’re in the middle of that, it’s easy to forget how to hold on to your sense of hope. But just like Tammi said: “there is hope!”

Even when it feels like all hope is lost, it’s still there, that glimmer of possibility, the potential for something different to happen this time. You may have just lost sight of it, especially if you’re still processing your past hurts or thinking “it didn’t work before, why would this time be any different?”

Hope doesn’t run on facts from the past. It doesn’t depend on the results of your last test or procedure. Hope is all about looking forward.

Yes, we learn from the past. As a fertility doctor, I work with you to find patterns and new understanding about your body and your needs on this journey based on things that have already happened.

But hope exists in the future. Hope is ahead of you, just waiting for you to catch up and hold on so you can see this through all the way to the end.

Hope is your silent-but-steadfast ally and cheerleader - even when things look their most grim.

When things start feeling especially difficult, it can be hard to hold onto your hope - but hope never has a hard time holding onto you. And it will be there when you’re ready to take another look and grab on again.

Hope doesn’t give up on you, and neither will I. If you still want it, keep going. You’ve got this

Endometriosis may be one of the most underdiagnosed causes of infertility, and yet one of the most treatable when identified early and handled with care.⁠

I’m so honored to be joined today on The Egg Whisperer Show by the trailblazing Dr. Camran Nezhat, a global leader in minimally invasive surgery and the treatment of endometriosis.

In our conversation, Dr. Nezhat shares recent research that reveals a powerful truth:
💙The majority of infertility patients classified as “unexplained” actually have endometriosis.
💙In their study, over 90% of patients who had no obvious symptoms, but couldn’t get pregnant,were found to have endometriosis through laparoscopy.
💙After proper surgical treatment, many younger patients conceived naturally, and those who returned to IVF had much higher success rates.
💙His overall conclusion? Endometriosis is likely far more common than the current 1-in-10 estimate.

As Dr. Nezhat puts it, “What the mind doesn’t know, the eyes don’t see, so we should know what we are looking for and we need to increase the awareness of endometriosis.”

Dr. Nezhat is best known for inventing video-assisted endoscopy, and for being the first to perform groundbreaking minimally invasive procedures that have revolutionized modern-day surgery. His work has helped millions of patients around the world.

In 2020, the American Medical Association honored him with the Distinguished Service Award for meritorious service in the science and art of medicine. To say it’s an honor to have him on the podcast is an understatement.

In this heartfelt episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with Dr. Arnold Mahesan and his wife, Roxy Earle, for a deeply personal and thought-provoking conversation about how fertility medicine is evolving, and how it needs to change.

They share the story behind Ana, their AI-supported fertility tracking app, and how it was born from their own journey. After Roxy was told IVF was her only option, she later fell in love and later married Dr. Arnold, who just happened to be a fertility doctor. He developed a personalized program that helped her conceive naturally, which eventually led them to wanting to help others. But this conversation goes far beyond the app.

Hear how Dr. Arnold and Dr. Aimee are building practices rooted in personalization, not protocols.
Discover the emotional and mindset components that are often overlooked in fertility care.
Get a behind-the-scenes look at how Ana uses AI, hormone horoscopes, and daily mindset boosts to support natural conception.
Listen as Roxy shares her journey with honesty, hope, and the power of being informed.
Find inspiration in their shared background—both grew up watching their fathers practice OB-GYN in deeply connected, community-focused ways.
Explore how Dr. Arnold and Dr. Aimee are carrying that legacy forward by putting patients, not profits, at the heart of fertility care.
Learn why the "IVF factory" model is becoming the norm, and why they both believe there's a better way.

Whether you're just beginning your TTC journey or seeking a more supportive path, this episode offers hope, heart, and a fresh perspective on what fertility medicine can be.

Today, I’m so honored to have Kristin McQuaid joining on The Egg Whisperer Show Podcast to talk about a very touching and powerful topic: support for surrogate mothers and intended parents through infant loss.

Kristin and her husband, Steve, started a non-profit organization in honor of their daughter, London Quinn, who was born still at 39 weeks in July, 2021. They named the organization "London is the Reason," and the non-profit focuses on supporting surrogates and their intended parents through infant loss.

I feel quite privileged to have Kristin share her story, and the story of her daughter London with us. I know you will be moved by what she shares.

We will be talking about her diagnosis of stage four endometriosis, how she learned about surrogacy, and how she, her husband and their gestational carrier navigated through the loss of London last year. She will also share additional resources for anyone experiencing loss as a surrogate and intended parent. And, you can learn more about “London is the Reason,” and how to get involved.

You may know Kristin McQuaid is a choreographer, dancer, designer, creative director, director, and producer. Her work has gone viral on "You Think You Can Dance," and "Dance Moms." She now stars in her own reality show, "Kickin' it with Kristin," which launched on YouTube in Fall of 2021.

Thank you for joining me, Kristin!

How to be Emotionally Resilient During Fertility Treatment

"Is it possible to become emotionally resilient, so that you can handle all of the things that you face as a fertility patient without feeling overwhelmed and triggered constantly?"
I get this question all. the. time, and today I'm excited to have Abbe Feder on to share tips, tricks, and mindset shifts with us!

Tip 1: Be kind to yourself, and know that things like baby announcements, or nosy questions from family members are triggering to many fertility patients. That doesn't make it easier, but it might help to know you're not alone in the feelings. Some of these triggers can come from unexpected places.

Tip 2: To work through triggers: talk about the trigger, acknowledge the trigger, become aware of what triggers you, and then "figure out what works best for you to get past the trigger" when they do come up.

Tip 3: Allow yourself to feel your emotions. Don't push them aside. Find a trusted friend, family member, spouse, partner or coach to help you. They don't have to understand what you're going through, the key is that they are able to listen to you and let you talk.

Abbe Feder is a fertility coach and the founder and CEO of InCircle Fertility. She and her husband host the podcast Maculate Conception, and she is the creator of the (In)Fertility Cards of Affirmation.

We had the pleasure of meeting at a panel with and I could not be more excited to have her on the show to talk about how to be emotionally resilient during fertility treatment. Today, we're talking about what it means to be a fertility coach, how to find support for your journey, and how to develop more resiliency when facing the ups and downs of being a fertility patient.

This has got to be one of the best compliments anyone could give me - thank you, Caroline! I really want the people around me to feel special (because they are!) so when I hear that I’ve managed to do it successfully, it warms my heart right up.

I like to joke that every one of my patients is a VIP: Very Important Pregnancy. But the sentiment behind it is no laughing matter. I know how much this means to each and every person who walks through the doors to my office. This is important to you, and that means it’s important to me.

Being a fertility patient is a uniquely challenging experience. It’s something that tests you - brain, body, heart and soul. It can feel overwhelming and especially lonely, even when you have supportive friends and family around you.

It can be hard to explain to someone how much you want something, and why it means so much, even if they know you well. Especially when they care about you and see you looking like you’re losing steam. While it sometimes comes from a place of care and concern, the less-than-enthusiastic reactions and “are you sure this is worth its” can make you start to second guess yourself.

Needless to say, it’s easy to forget how special you and the dream in your heart actually are.

But you didn’t start this journey on a whim. I know for a fact that you started this after a lot of thought and consideration about the big, beautiful, dream you have for your future family. Your hope for that future isn’t misguided. It’s special.

And when I say “special,” I mean sparkling-like-stars-in-the-sky special You’ve got so much love to share and so much strength inside you. And it’s there even when you can’t see it yourself - I know because *I* can see it so clearly.

In fact, part of the reason I love my job is because I get to interact with strong, determined, special people every day. And I want to try and help you remember that every single time I talk to you.

If you need help remembering your specialness, schedule a consultation: https://www.draimee.org/schedule-a-consultation
