    Egg Freezing: An Overview of IVF and Egg Freezing with Dr. Aimee (Hosted by Dr Ban)
    2026/03/06
    Hosted by Dr. Ban, I'm sharing everything you need to know about getting precision fertility care.... in ten minutes. You'll hear all about the TUSHY Method, the specifics of the BALLS Method, along with the Egg Whisperer DIET and your fertility TEAM.

    There are many relatively easy and affordable ways to get smart about your fertility. We will never eliminate all of the unknowns, but we can take some simple steps to understand our body and how it may impact our ability to get pregnant.

    For example, there are sperm kits that you can get delivered to your home without even needing to see a doctor. There's so much technology available now to improve treatment outcomes.

    Yet, what I think is really important to note is that just because you see a fertility doctor it does not mean you want to do a treatment. I think that's a big barrier for people.

    What I tell people is to go see someone and get your TUSHY checked, get your sperm checked. Learn more about yourself so that you're not wasting time or money doing something that's not going to work.

  • How Important is Embryo Quality?

    How Important is Embryo Quality?
    2026/03/05
    I have patients that come to me from all over the world. There's one question I always ask when reviewing their IVF cycle history.

    What was your embryo quality?

    I hear time and time again from patients that they don't know it because their doctor told them embryo quality doesn't matter with IVF. That's simply not true!

    Just like diamonds in a jewelry store. Quality matters. Just like there is a grading system for diamonds, there is also a grading system for embryos. It's important for you to know that this exists and to ask for your embryo grade.

    When it comes to getting pregnant and IVF, the implantation rate is determined by the embryo quality and rating.

    Read the full show notes at Dr. Aimee's website.
    Do you have questions about how embryo quality plays a role in IVF?
    Dr. Aimee will answer your questions in The IVF Class. The next live class call is on Monday, March 9, 2026 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom.

  • Beyond IVF: PCOS, PGT-P, Rapamycin, and the Fertility Deep Dive with Dr. Steve Palter

    Beyond IVF: PCOS, PGT-P, Rapamycin, and the Fertility Deep Dive with Dr. Steve Palter
    2026/03/04

    In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by Dr. Steven Palter, founder and medical director of Gold Coast IVF, to explore what happens when fertility care goes beyond quick fixes and becomes true detective work.

    Dr. Palter is internationally recognized for his innovative Palter Fertility Method - a systematic, personalized approach that treats infertility as a multilevel disease rather than a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. We discuss how metabolic health, emerging technologies, and surgical precision are transforming outcomes for patients who've been told they're out of options.

    Read the full show notes on my website.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • The Palter Fertility Method: diagnostic deep dives, success maps, and the "success spiral" approach to personalized fertility care
    • How insulin resistance drives PCOS and why treating it like "diabetes of the ovary" can reverse infertility
    • The PCOS to Pregnancy Protocol: using continuous glucose monitors, metabolic coaching, and low-carb interventions to restore ovulation
    • PGT-P (preimplantation genetic testing for polygenic conditions): what it is, how it works, and the ethics of screening embryos for complex diseases like autism, Alzheimer's, and diabetes
    • Rapamycin therapy for egg quality: the science behind this longevity drug and why it's showing remarkable results in women over 40
    • Advanced imaging and surgical techniques that uncover hidden causes of infertility like endometriosis, fibroids, and uterine abnormalities
    • The importance of resistance training, zone-two exercise, and metabolic health for fertility and longevity

    How to Avoid the Most Common IVF Mistakes with guest Dr. Jenna McCarthy
    2026/03/03
    Today on The Egg Whisperer podcast, my dear friend Dr. Jenna McCarthy is joining me to talk all about the most common IVF mistakes. Our intent is to share as much information as we can with you so you'll go into an IVF cycle aware, empowered and feeling comfortable with what is going on. We want people to avoid these mistakes and also hear that they're common, they happen, and there's always something you can do if you're dealing with an issue.⠀

    We're talking about troubleshooting needle and syringe issues, the importance of not eating or drinking before your egg retrieval, timing of the trigger shot, sperm emergencies, and medication dosage issues and more. We're basically talking about everything we've seen in our combined 20+ years of doing IVF. ⠀

  • Your Complete IVF Checklist

    Your Complete IVF Checklist
    2026/03/02
    IVF is a very emotional journey. It can be riddled with fear, doubt, and is full of periods of waiting and wondering. For my patients, I want to reduce any emotional or physical burdens by creating an IVF checklist for them. It covers the core essentials of everything we need to do, so there are no conversations that begin with, "I wish I would have…" down the road.

    I don't want you to have to wonder if you've done everything you can to have a successful IVF outcome. This is true if you're my patient, or you live half-way across the world.

    I want to equip you with a complete IVF checklist. I want you to feel prepared going into IVF so there is less chance of having any regrets if things don't pan out as you hope they will. Of course, this can't serve as your only guidance during IVF. Please discuss anything and everything with your doctor!

  • The Top 10 Reasons You're Having a Hard Time Getting Pregnant

    The Top 10 Reasons You're Having a Hard Time Getting Pregnant
    2026/02/27
    There are many things that can impact your ability to become pregnant. In today's episode, I'm reviewing the top 10 things to consider if you are TTC. 1. Environmental Toxins. Avoid microwaving food in plastic containers or bottles. Always store food and glass or stainless steel containers. Million Marker offers a test to find out if you have in-body toxicity.

    2. Chemicals in food and everyday products. Verify that the products you are using are chemical free. You can do that on https://www.ewg.org/

    3. Being sedentary. The CDC and American College of OBGYN, both recommend exercise in amounts of 150 minutes per week. Avoid over exercising, as low BMI can also cause fertility issues.

    4. Food allergies or intolerances. Work with a nutritionist to find out if you have a food allergy or other food intolerance. You may also want to consider working with a specialist if you have PCOS or working with a nutritionist like Rohini Bajekal to help you manage PCOS if you have it.

    5. Blocked Fallopian Tubes. Check with your doctor to find out if this is what may be causing you to have a hard time TTC.

    6. THC and Cannabinoids can affect the motility of the fallopian tube and the receptors in the lining of the uterus. This makes embryo implantation harder and it might not happen as quickly as you would want.

    7. Nicotine. Nicotine can affect the DNA and the egg in the sperm cells, and it can also affect a woman's fertility such that she could go potentially into menopause earlier.

    8. Blaming birth control pills. Many people think that birth control pills "cause" infertility, but the truth is that because they regulate your period they may be masking the indicators of infertility. Make sure you get your hormone levels checked with your doctor every year to confirm your levels.

    9. Ignoring biology. Every woman is born with a finite number of eggs, and if you want to wait to have kids until later in life, be sure and freeze your eggs when you are in your 20s.

    10. Not getting enough sleep. Listen on Dr. Aimee's website. Curious about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

  • How to Deal with a Negative Pregnancy Test

    How to Deal with a Negative Pregnancy Test
    2026/02/26
    Is your pregnancy test negative, again?
    Let's get real. It sucks when we do everything we can in our power to make something happen, and it just doesn't.

    If you've ever wanted to get pregnant, and have seen a negative result on the test, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
    It doesn't matter if it's one month of trying or 2 years….

    "Trying to get pregnant" can be painful, and the phrase itself is defeatist. The mindset it establishes is one based on fear vs. love. I like to lead from a place of love, and encourage my patients to think positively.

    For that reason, I advocate for replacing it with, "preparing for pregnancy."

    Doesn't it just sound more peaceful, and open to the process? I think so.

    Regardless if you are on board with my line of thinking, I do want to share some helpful tips and suggestions so that your path to pregnancy is as informed and efficient as possible.

    Here are my top tips:
    My #1 tip for preparing for pregnancy is to NOT put blind faith in fertility apps.
    Tip #2: Develop a resilient, and positive mindset.
    Tip #3: Make use of science (diagnostic testing) to understand what could be preventing you from getting pregnant. Oh, and ask questions. Lots of them!
    Tip #4: Talk to your doctor about things you can do that are in your control like lifestyle and diet.
