    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!

  • Top 5 IVF Setbacks and How to Reframe Them to Stay Hopeful

    Top 5 IVF Setbacks and How to Reframe Them to Stay Hopeful
    Oct 27 2025
    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

    Guiding Families Through Infertility: Expert Insights with Lisa Schuman
    Oct 23 2025
    I’m so excited to share my latest episode of The Egg Whisperer Show with you! This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Lisa Schuman, a leading therapist, award-winning researcher, and author who specializes in family building, donor conception, and surrogacy.

    Lisa and I dive deep into the critical role mental health plays in fertility treatments, especially when third-party reproduction, like egg or sperm donation and gestational carriers, is involved. She shares her personal journey and decades of professional expertise, introducing us to The Center for Family Building and its new expert-guided community platform.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • What inspired Lisa to specialize in family building and fertility counseling.
    • The mission behind The Center for Family Building and its resources for patients.
    • Why mental health support is essential for individuals and couples navigating fertility treatments, surrogacy, or adoption.
    • Unique ways Lisa supports diverse family structures, including LGBTQIA+ and single-parent families.
    • Lisa’s five-step process for choosing a donor and why it’s so important to consider the psychological and genetic aspects of family building.
    Read the full show notes and transcript on Dr. Aimee's website.

  • Trying to Conceive? What Parents-to-Be Need to Know About Parkinson’s and Environmental Toxins with Dr. Ray Dorsey of The Parkinson's Plan

    Trying to Conceive? What Parents-to-Be Need to Know About Parkinson’s and Environmental Toxins with Dr. Ray Dorsey of The Parkinson's Plan
    Oct 22 2025
    In this episode, I’m honored to welcome Dr. Ray Dorsey, a renowned neurologist, researcher, and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Parkinson’s Plan. Together, we dive into the critical topic of Parkinson’s Disease, now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world, and explore how environmental toxins (rather than aging or genetics), are fueling its rise. Dr. Dorsey shares his expertise on how exposures, even as early as in utero, can increase the risk of Parkinson’s and other serious conditions, and offers practical steps families can take to protect themselves and future generations. Throughout our conversation, we discuss the broader themes of environmental health, fertility, and advocacy. We explore the science behind how early-life exposures can plant the seeds for neurodegenerative diseases, the importance of shifting our understanding from genetics to environment, and the actionable ways we can reduce risk. Dr. Dorsey also introduces the “Parkinson’s 25” - a set of practical recommendations for families, and shares inspiring stories of advocacy and change. In this episode, we cover: 💙Why Parkinson’s Disease is rising and the role of environmental toxins 💙The impact of early-life and in utero exposures on long-term neurological health 💙The difference between genetic and environmental risk factors for Parkinson’s 💙How pesticides, air pollution, and chemicals like trichloroethylene affect fertility and brain health 💙The “Parkinson’s 25” steps for reducing risk and protecting your family 💙Advocacy success stories, including the Healthy Schools Act and organic golf courses 💙Practical tips for improving indoor air quality and minimizing everyday exposures Resources: The Parkinson’s Plan book: https://amzn.to/46V7BZu The Parkinson's Plan website: pdplan.org Contact Dr. Dorsey: info@pdplan.org Healthy Schools Act (California): https://www.cdpr.ca.gov/cac-letter/written-policy-clarifying-state-and-county-roles-in-enforcing-provisions-of-the-healthy-schools-act-assembly-bill-2260/ Countdown by Shanna Swan (on fertility and environmental toxins): https://amzn.to/4nSniGR National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act: https://www.ninds.nih.gov/current-research/trans-agency-activities/national-plan-end-parkinsons Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

  • This is Fertility Mythbusting

    This is Fertility Mythbusting
    Oct 21 2025
    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.

  • Why Didn't Your IUI Work?

    Why Didn't Your IUI Work?
    Oct 20 2025
    One of the most common questions I get asked is “Why didn't my IUI work?" It’s a great question because there are many factors that come into play with intrauterine insemination. If you're my patient, we'd start by checking the Fallopian tubes, uterus, and sperm quality first.⠀ But let's say you've done the #TUSHYcheck, the tubes are clear and everything else looks good. So why doesn't IUI work?

    The answer I share with my patients is: because you're human. Yes, it's really as simple as that. ⠀

    To put IUI into perspective, 90% of the time it doesn't work. ⠀

    So if your IUI didn't work, I want you to know that there's nothing wrong with you, and you're normal, and human. It's that simple.⠀

    Do you have questions about getting a diagnosis with the TUSHY Method?

    Whitney Bischoff Angel is joining me on The Egg Whisperer Show, and we’re talking all about Egg Freezing. Whitney is a fertility nurse and patient advocate at OVA Egg Freezing Specialty Center, specializing in fertility preservation for women.

    Whitney made the personal decision to freeze her own eggs in 2013, which she credits for making her an even stronger fertility nurse. In 2015, Whitney joined ABC’s The Bachelor, and since then she has used her platform to promote egg freezing, educating women around the world to be proactive versus reactive when it comes to their reproductive health. She's appeared on ABC’s Nightline, Good Morning America, Extra TV, People Magazine, Women's Health magazine and many other publications.

    Today we’re covering 8 great reasons to freeze your eggs. These include helping your future self, how freezing eggs can be an insurance policy, the genetic reasons you may want to freeze your eggs, and why you might want to freeze your eggs even if you aren’t sure if you want to have children or haven’t found the right partner. I hope you’ll tune in as we walk through all eight reasons.
