Fertility education is at the heart of my mission. I want you to know everything you can about your fertility, how to preserve it and how to navigate fertility treatment.⁠

I also like to bust the myths that have been a part of infertility for so long:⁠

💙Try to conceive for a year before getting treatment or talking to a fertility expert? ⁠
You would not wait a year to talk to someone about any other medical issue, so it’s time to let go of that year long wait as “a thing.” Get information sooner, instead of later.⁠

💙Settle for a diagnosis of “unexplained fertility”? ⁠
I don’t think so. Unexplained just means someone didn’t take the time to explain it.⁠

When I say I’m honored to have been a part of your journey, Mitch and Adrienne, I really mean it! Being able to act as a shepherd for the immense amount of love my patients have in their hearts and guide it out into the tangible world is a privilege for me.

It can be really easy - for doctors and patients alike - to get sucked into the “task-oriented” nature of fertility treatment. You make appointments, get tests done, read the numbers on the results, choose a course of action, follow more steps… All of that is obviously necessary. But the most important part of moving through those tasks is the reason you’re doing them in the first place.

You’re here because you’re human. You’re here because you’re a beautiful person with so much love to share with the future family of your dreams. And I’m here because of the same thing.

Your love, and desire to bring more love into the world is the heart of my life’s purpose.

Loving this much, and hoping this much isn’t easy. There’s a lot that can happen during a fertility journey that can leave your heart feeling beat up and aching. Feeling like you’re stuck inside a dark tunnel is a very relatable experience for most of my patients.

I know that I’m coming into contact with the most human aspects of your life. So guiding you with compassion, being as committed to your goals as you are, and treating you like a complete person with hopes and emotions feels like a no-brainer to me.

Hearing from my patients that I’ve made them feel supported and cared for means the world to me, but that’s not why I do it. It’s what I would want for any of the people I care about, and it’s frankly what any fertility patient deserves.

You deserve whole-human care💛

Today, I’m answering some of the most common questions I get asked about IVF, from my patients and from those seeking treatment elsewhere in the United States and beyond.

While the steps involved in IVF are generally the same, the factors to consider and each patient’s needs are unique, so I can’t cover all scenarios in a single blog post. However, I do want to recap some of the most common questions I get and answer some specific inquiries that were emailed to me for this episode. There’s a chance you have the same question as someone else so I hope this is helpful! ⠀

Here's some of what I'm covering:
💙What is IVF?
💙How soon can I begin treatment?
💙What is a person's success rate at IVF?
💙Will I need to be on birth control pills before IVF?
💙Do you foresee any problems that could arise while going through IVF?
💙Do you prefer a day 3 or 5 transfer?
💙Do you do a mock transfer?
💙Do you test to make sure that the uterine wall is receptive?
💙What sort of medication do you prescribe for IVF?
💙What protocols do you prefer?
💙Does age matter in how soon you can repeat IVF after delivering?

If you'd like to read my answers to these questions, and more, head over to today's blog post at:

When you get on an airplane, one of the first things they tell you in the safety demonstration is that, in the event of a change in cabin pressure, you should put on your own oxygen mask before helping anyone else with theirs.

Of the many journeys we take in our lives, if there’s any one of them that’s sure to involve a change in “cabin pressure”, it’s a fertility journey.😮‍💨 In my recent conversation with reproductive psychiatrist Dr. Stacia Mills, we talked all about why taking care of your mental health should be one of the first things you do when starting your journey toward growing your family.

Both fertility and mental health are topics that hold a lot of stigma. It can feel taboo to bring them up in “normal” conversation, and it can feel like you need to keep things to yourself and figure it all out alone. But the truth is, building your support system is the best thing you can do to help yourself succeed.

That means friends and family you can trust, *and* mental health professionals who can help you with diagnoses, medications, and tools to get you through your fertility journey and beyond.

During our conversation, Dr. Mills talked about the widely-held belief that you have to be willing to sacrifice everything for the future of your family - but that idea could not be farther from the truth. She rightly added:

"If you're going to show up for your family, you have to show up for yourself first."

Remember that your journey doesn’t end as soon as you get pregnant, and you deserve to be able to navigate all of it without unnecessary strain and suffering. Your mental health will thank you, and so will your future family.❤️

“Knowledge is power. Test and don’t guess.” That’s something I say often, because while learning about fertility can feel intimidating at first, there's a confidence and ease that can come from starting your journey armed with lots of information. Getting an overview of the basics of your fertility, egg freezing, and IVF can set you on the right path whether or not you decide to work with a fertility specialist. I truly believe every woman deserves to know what her options are, and how the process works.

That’s why I created The IVF Class. It’s a place where I take you step by step through the entire IVF journey, from understanding your fertility and learning about IVF protocols, to preparing for embryo transfer, navigating challenges, and what to expect if you become pregnant after a transfer. My goal is simple: to replace uncertainty with clarity, and to help you feel calm, confident, and empowered every step of the way.

In addition to on-demand lessons, you’ll also join me live so I can walk you through the material and answer your questions in real time. Think of it as your fertility roadmap, with me as your guide, cheering you on and helping you understand what’s next.

✨ Upcoming dates: September 15, October 20, November 17, December 15 (all at 4 pm PST).
Registration closes at 2 pm on the day of class, so don’t wait to save your spot!

If you’re ready to take charge of your fertility journey, I’d love for you to join me in The IVF Class. Knowledge truly is power and the more you know, the better you can advocate for yourself and your future. 💫

🦷✨ Did you know your toothbrush might be the real MVP of your fertility journey?

But wait - how about your bedroom habits? 😳

In this reel, Dr. Katie Lee answers the question we’re all secretly wondering but too shy to ask:
“Can oral s*x during foreplay mess with your oral microbiome and affect fertility? And does it matter if it’s male or female parts in your mouth?” (Thanks, Anna from Stockton, for keeping it real! 🙌)

Watch to find out if your oral hygiene routine needs a new step… and tag a friend who needs to hear this (and maybe needs to floss more)! 😂👇

Meghan, I’m so honored to be a part of your journey - thank you!

Statistics can be helpful to know about. They might help you understand what your path could look like. But the thing about those numbers is that they only describe the final outcome.

We don’t know anything about the quality of care or treatments of the many thousands of people who make up those stats. I do, however, know what kind of care I and my team are going to give every patient that reaches out to me for help, and it’s going to be the absolute highest caliber I can give.

While there are many shared experiences among all fertility patients, when it comes to actual fertility care, your situation is entirely unique. If I simply approach you as part of a statistic, I would be doing you a huge disservice.

You deserve the best care possible, especially for something as deeply meaningful as growing your family. And when it comes to you as an individual, what actually helps you grow your family is an accurate diagnosis, a fertility plan that’s tailored to your specific needs, and a team of medical professionals who will give you the attention and encouragement you need to keep going.

So, yes - those statistics can be helpful in certain ways, under certain circumstances, and we’re so lucky to have that kind of scientific data at our fingertips. But those numbers never define you, nor do they determine what kind of outcome YOU are going to have.

You are so much more than just another statistic. You’re an individual with a beautiful dream that you want to make real for your own unique reasons, and your journey will unfold in a way that’s designed just for you. It’s my privilege to have the job of seeing you as the singular person you are so that I can truly help you reach your goals.

We’re talking all about donor conception and infertility advocacy on today’s brand new episode of The Egg Whisperer Show with my wonderful guest, Victoria Nino. And, I know you're just going to love the fire, grace, and resilience that Victoria brings to this conversation.

Victoria is the creator of Expecting Anything, a blog where she candidly shares her journey through infertility, IVF and motherhood through donor eggs. She is also the founder of Infertility Unfiltered, a platform dedicated to sharing raw, honest stories about infertility without the pressure of a positive outcome.

Victoria has just published her first children’s book, Our Hearts Match, which helps parents have important conversations with their donor-conceived children and to emphasize the bond that parents share with their children beyond DNA.

She is on a mission to normalize donor conception, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have her on the show. Her work offers a message of hope, resilience, and understanding for those on their own fertility journey

There are so many paths to parenthood outside of natural conception, but the two things that hold true across the board are:
1. The love you already have for your future little one
2. The hope that motivates you to keep going

Victoria knows firsthand how challenging navigating infertility can be, and everything she creates for her community comes from a place of honesty, education and support. During our conversation, we talked about:

💙Why it's important to hear unfiltered narratives about infertility
💙Victoria’s fertility story, including what led her to consider donor eggs and what happened when she was ready to have a second child
💙Her inspiration for writing Our Hearts Match
💙What people should know about donor conception and third party reproduction

I often tell my patients, “You’ll be a mother, one way or another,” and Victoria is here to show you just one more amazing way to reach your fertility goals.

Thanks again for joining me, Victoria!

I’ve had a lot of people on the Egg Whisperer Show who have extraordinary stories about the courage and strength they’ve shown in navigating their fertility journeys. My guests have shared ways that they’ve overcome huge obstacles, moved through deep grief, and even gone on to become a part of the fertility industry to support and advocate for patients.

When you hear people’s stories in past tense, it’s easy to look at them and see exactly where and how they showed their strength. You can see how they built up their resolve, dug way down deep and walked right back into the ring.

But strength isn’t always so easy to spot from the inside. Strength can sometimes feel like a surprise when you tap into it- not because no one believes you have it in you, but because we don’t usually plan for having to use our strength in such big ways. We can’t always anticipate the moments that we’ll need to be strong. You might not even realize you’re *being* strong because all you’re focusing on is the next thing you need to do to move through what’s in front of you.

When you’re asking yourself “how could this be happening?” but you still get out of bed the next morning ...

When your doctor gives you the opposite of the news you were hoping for, and you still schedule your next appointment ...

When you feel totally alone in trying to reach your fertility goals, and you google fertility communities where you might find support ...

That’s strength in action.

Strength is a catalyst for so much good, even when you can’t see that you’re being strong. Whether you’re telling your story in an interview or quietly and patiently navigating an obstacle in the moment, I know you have strength in you.

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%. ⁠

You all know that I talk about gathering a fertility TEAM when you are a fertility patient. TEAM stands for ⁠
T: Therapist⁠
E: Eating and Exercise⁠
A: Acupuncture⁠
M: Mindfulness and meditation⁠

On the Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I’m speaking with two Egg Whisperers visiting with us from Seattle, Washington, Stephanie Gianarelli and Dr. Lora Shahine. They are experts in all aspects of fertility. ⁠

I invited them on to discuss the A of TEAM = ACUPUNCTURE. Stephanie is a fertility acupuncturist in downtown Seattle. Dr. Lora Shahine is a reproductive endocrinologist specializing in infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss at Pacific NW Fertility and IVF Specialists in Seattle. ⁠

Together, they have written a book called Planting the Seeds of Pregnancy. We are talking about the role that Chinese Medicine plays in fertility treatment, and they will share the benefits of acupuncture during treatment, as well.⁠
