  • Your Complete Guide to Fertility Testing

    Your Complete Guide to Fertility Testing
    Feb 20 2026
    Struggling with fertility is not easy. It's important to stay positive. For example, I like to think of you being IN-fertile. As in you're "in" the club vs. infertile meaning you're "not" fertile. Call me crazy, but I truly believe in the fertility of everyone who walks through my door. Nobody is a number or FSH or AMH level.

    What do those things even mean? That's what I want to talk to you today.

    💙Do your best best to find a positive mental attitude.
    💙Be proactive about your preconception tests. You can find a full list of the ones to consider on my website.
    💙Understand egg count, egg health, egg aging, and what you can do about it.
    💙Get your TUSHY checked.
    💙Understand the role of sperm and sperm health in embryo creation.
    💙Once you have a embryos, consider additional tests before embryo transfer.

  • What is Fertility Yoga, and How Does it Work? with guest Lynn Jensen

    What is Fertility Yoga, and How Does it Work? with guest Lynn Jensen
    Feb 19 2026
    Lynn Jensen is a yoga expert, and she created the "Yoga for Fertility"program in 2002, after dealing with her own fertility challenges for several years. She practiced yoga while trying to conceive, and noticed that it had many benefits: it gave her more resilience, and helped with her mindset while going through fertility treatment. She wanted to take what she learned to help other women who are trying to conceive, and I could not be more excited to have her joining me on the podcast today!

    In addition to talking about the best poses for boosting your fertility, how yoga for fertility is different than regular yoga, and also she shares thoughts on why yoga can help anyone who is TTC:
    "Yoga can help shift your mindset to one where instead of this is something being "achieved," (we're trying to 'achieve' this pregnancy,) that actually what we're trying to do is receive. That's a very different mindset and a very different way to approach it."

  • How AI Is Transforming IVF Labs with Dr. Tex VerMilyea

    How AI Is Transforming IVF Labs with Dr. Tex VerMilyea
    Feb 18 2026
    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tex VerMilyea, Vice President of Scientific Advancement for US Fertility and Ovation IVF Laboratories, to explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing IVF labs and embryology. Dr. VerMilyea brings a unique perspective shaped by his journey from animal science and bovine embryology to becoming a leader in human IVF research and innovation. His work spans molecular embryology, epigenetics, and now the implementation of cutting-edge AI technologies across a nationwide network of fertility centers. This conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the technology that's shaping the future of fertility care. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website. We dive deep into the practical applications of AI in embryology: from embryo and sperm selection to pregnancy prediction and laboratory workflow optimization. Dr. VerMilyea explains how AI is making embryo assessment more objective and accurate, how robotics will improve lab efficiency and access to care, and why the human touch will always remain essential in the art of embryology. We also discuss what patients should know about how labs balance success rates with safety, the future of non-invasive embryo selection, and what IVF laboratories might look like in five to ten years. In this episode, we cover: How AI is currently being used globally for embryo selection and why FDA approval is still pending in the United StatesThe potential for AI to predict pregnancy outcomes and reduce time to pregnancy through data-driven treatment decisionsHow robotics and automation will help IVF labs serve more patients while maintaining quality and reducing human errorThe role of non-invasive technologies in improving patient engagement and experience throughout the IVF journeyWhy selective single embryo transfer has become the standard of care and how technology supports safer outcomesWhat embryologists wish patients understood about the IVF lab and the expertise behind embryo developmentThe future of IVF labs, including mobile clinics, at-home monitoring, and the evolving role of embryologists Resources: Dr. Tex VerMilyea on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/tex-vermilyea-phd/US Fertility Research Page https://www.usfertility.com/Ovation Fertility https://www.ovationfertility.com/ Would you like to ask Dr. Aimee your personal IVF questions?

  • Family Formation Law with Lawyer Amanda Troxler

    Family Formation Law with Lawyer Amanda Troxler
    Feb 16 2026
    Amanda Troxler has been practicing family formation law since 2013. She represents hundreds of Intended Parents, Donors, and Surrogates a year. Additionally, Amanda has personal experience in third party assisted reproduction, having been an egg donor.

    In today's show we are going to explain what family formation law is. As a fertility patient, it's important that you understand some of the basic legal pieces that you might want to have in place for your journey, whether that be for IVF, or if you're going to be using donor eggs, donor sperm, or using a gestational carrier. I very much love Amanda's thoughtful and caring approach to making family formation law approachable. As she says, "healthy families are formed through honest communication and centering the needs of the future child."

    Amanda received her J.D. from UCLA law on a Dean's Merit Scholarship in 2012. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern University in 2008. Amanda is a member of the Academy of California Adoption-ART Lawyers ("ACAL"), Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy ("SEEDS"), and American Society of Reproductive Medicine ("ASRM").

    Thank you for joining me, Amanda!

  • Are You Doing Enough Genetic Screening? with Dr. Nidhee Sachdev

    Are You Doing Enough Genetic Screening? with Dr. Nidhee Sachdev
    Feb 12 2026
    There are so many misconceptions about genetic screening. Unfortunately, this leads people to make uninformed decisions about testing, and it results in people just not doing enough of it. This is why I invited a fertility expert who has dedicated a lot of her research life to this very topic.

    I am so excited to have Dr. Nidhee Sachdev of OC Fertility join me on The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about genetic screening. We are talking about the many misconceptions about genetic testing, why this information is so important, and why more people should be testing pre-treatment.

  • From PCOS to Parenthood: A Journey of Hope with guests Dr. Joshua Hurwitz and Mary-Caitlin and Dan

    From PCOS to Parenthood: A Journey of Hope with guests Dr. Joshua Hurwitz and Mary-Caitlin and Dan
    Feb 11 2026

    In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Mary-Caitlin and Dan, a couple who navigated the challenges of PCOS and fertility treatment to welcome their son Jack. Alongside their incredible doctor, Dr. Joshua Hurwitz from Illume Fertility, we explore what it really means to face a PCOS diagnosis and how the right medical support combined with unwavering partnership can transform a difficult journey into a story of success.

    Mary-Caitlin shares her experience from being diagnosed at age 20 to enduring multiple losses before finding hope through IVF, while Dan offers a loving partner's perspective on being present through every step of the process.

    Throughout our conversation, we dive into the medical realities of PCOS: from understanding it as an ovulation issue rather than an infertility diagnosis, to optimizing IVF protocols specifically for PCOS patients. Dr. Hurwitz breaks down the science behind modified natural transfer cycles, the importance of metabolic health, and exciting developments in PCOS treatment including GLP-1 medications.

    Read the full show notes on my website.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How PCOS affects ovulation and fertility, and why it's not a diagnosis of infertility
    • The emotional impact of receiving a PCOS diagnosis as a young woman and how to communicate with partners
    • Optimizing IVF protocols for PCOS patients, including medication dosing, trigger types, and birth control lead-ins
    • Modified natural transfer cycles and why they may reduce pregnancy complications like preeclampsia
    • The importance of metabolic optimization, nutrition support, and treating the whole person, not just the fertility issue
    • How GLP-1 agonist medications can change PCOS management for long-term health
    • Practical advice for couples: letting go of timelines, maintaining life outside of treatment, and supporting each other through the process
