Most fertility treatment hinges on the strategic use of drugs to help the body be as fertile as possible. My goal is to give each of my patients a personalized fertility plan with custom calendars of what to do, which drug to take, and when.

Today on the podcast, I’m walking through fertility calendars (keeping things confidential, of course) and talking about the drugs I commonly use to give my patients the best chance at fertility success.

As a fertility doctor, I help my patients create the family they want, or preserve their fertility for whatever the future may hold.

Part of why I love what I do is that I get to understand the whole person that I treat. Not just their body, but their emotional well-being too. We can’t look at humans with tunnel vision. Nor can we look at fertility that way either. The act of going through fertility treatment is as emotional as it is physical.

Today on the podcast, I’m sharing the ten things to STOP doing if you’re a fertility patient.

I’ve yet to meet someone that dreamed of the day they could become my patient. You may dream of your wedding day. Or maybe you may fantasize about your next vacation destination, or the day you buy a house or seeing your future child graduate from high school. But I’m guessing that when you think of those milestones in life, my bet is that nowhere in that world are you thinking about me — a fertility doctor?  It’s just not happening. And here’s the thing — while I love my patients and have been known to tell a good joke or two, it’s my honest hope that I never have to meet you. That’s because deep down, I want to PREVENT infertility. My job as a doctor is to do my best to ensure I educate you enough that many of you will never need to visit me. Of course, many of you may become my patients, and I truly do love the work I get to do. Today on the podcast, I’m making the bold move to outline how you can go about not becoming my patient. If you follow Patagonia clothing company, it’s sort of like how they have ads that say, “Don’t Buy This Shirt.” They are a company that’s about sustainability. They don’t want you to buy another shirt. Well, I guess I’m the Patagonia of fertility medicine. I don’t want you to need my services.

Imagine an insemination kit with a syringe specifically designed for the female body that you can use with your partner or sperm donor in the comfort of your own home. I'm delighted to have Maureen Brown, co-founder of Mosie Baby joining me on the this week to talk about the home insemination kit that she and her husband designed after being faced with infertility.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
As you know, I really love innovative products and ideas that help people reach their goals. Anything that helps demystify fertility and helps women get pregnant is a win in my book. What I love about the Mosie Baby story is that Maureen and her husband decided to create a product that they could not find and wished existed during their fertility journey. We talk about how the kit was invented, her own experience using it, how it works, and about some of her favorite success stories.

I know there are a lot of fertility myths out there, and some can be downright perplexing if you’re trying to do everything you can to have a successful pregnancy. And, when you’ve been a fertility doctor for a while, let me tell you, you will hear it all.⁠
⁠
So in this episode, I’m tackling TWENTY of the most common fertility myths in a little thing I like to call “Fertility: Fact or Fiction.”⁠
⁠
I love talking about these types of things because once you know the truth, you also have a better idea of what may be happening in your own body. I think most people now realize that sperm does in fact matter when you’re TTC.⁠
⁠
But, do you need both of your fallopian tubes?⁠
⁠
Is marijuana safe when you’re TTC?⁠
⁠
Can someone born without a uterus have a uterine transplant?⁠
⁠
Is an ovarian cyst something to be concerned about?⁠
⁠
Of course, these questions matter, and I want everyone to feel comfortable asking their doctor about them (and for answers to the above: no, no, yes, no).⁠

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m joined by Dr. Rahi Victory. Dr. Victory is an OBGYN in Canada, where he has two clinics. I’m excited to have him on the show today to talk about how to become an advocate for yourself, and how to make sure that your care is your doctor’s priority.⁠
⁠
Dr. Victory and I are both very like-minded in the way that we approach patient care: we want you to be an active part of your care and we want you to be a part of our decision making when it comes to deciding on a treatment plan. It’s a joy to talk to Dr. Victory about transparency and honesty and how patients can become their own advocates and make sure they get the kind of care they deserve on their journey.⁠

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Fein, MD a board-certified weight loss physician who specializes in helping women improve their fertility through sustainable weight management. Dr. Fein shares her personal and professional journey, highlighting how achieving a healthy weight can positively impact reproductive health.

We discuss the science behind weight and fertility, including how even modest weight loss can enhance ovulation and increase the chances of conception. Dr. Fein offers practical strategies for weight loss that focus on long-term success rather than quick fixes. She emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and understanding one's relationship with food.

Dr. Fein also addresses common misconceptions about weight and fertility, providing clarity on how individualized approaches can make a significant difference. Whether you're preparing for pregnancy or undergoing fertility treatments, this episode offers valuable insights into how weight management can play a crucial role in your fertility journey.

In this episode, we cover:

• The connection between weight and fertility

• How modest weight loss can improve ovulation and conception rates

• Sustainable weight loss strategies tailored for women trying to conceive

• The role of self-compassion in weight management

• Debunking myths about weight and fertility
