    Clare Crawley's Fertility Journey: The Power of Love and Resilience (hosted by Andrea Syrtash)
    Oct 22 2024

    I’m thrilled to share a special episode of The Egg Whisperer Show that originally aired on Pregnantish with Andrea Syrtash. In this episode, Andrea interviews the incredible Clare Crawley from The Bachelor about her fertility journey. Clare has been so brave in sharing her story, and as one of my patients, it’s been a privilege to support her along the way. She opens up about her struggles with fertility, her decision to pursue surrogacy, and the ups and downs of finding love while navigating these challenges.

    In the second part of the episode, I talk about a supplement I recommend to all my patients—TruNiagen—and the powerful benefits of NAD+ for fertility and overall health. This is a must-listen if you're on your own fertility journey or want to learn more about how to support your body! And, it was such an honor to be included on Pregnantish :)

    Tune in now to hear Clare’s emotional story and my insights on optimizing fertility health.

  • How To Use a Known Sperm Donor with Danielle Winston of Seed Scout

    How To Use a Known Sperm Donor with Danielle Winston of Seed Scout
    Oct 17 2024

    I’m talking all about the benefits of known sperm donation with Danielle Winston of The Seed Scout @theseedscout on today’s brand new episode of The Egg Whisperer Show.⁠
    ⁠
    When Danielle and her partner, practicing pediatrician Dr. Paige Kennedy-Winston, were looking to build their own family, they quickly realized the space of sperm banking was riddled with roadblocks for most families.⁠
    ⁠
    The process was highly impersonal, the anonymity and lack of diversity adding to the problem, and options seemed extremely limited. That’s when Danielle and Dr. Kennedy-Winston took matters into their own hands and found their own donor. ⁠
    ⁠
    They got the idea for their sperm donor matchmaking concierge service, The Seed Scout, from their own first-hand experience. With Danielle’s business and law background and Dr. Kennedy-Winston’s pediatric experience, they made The Seed Scout a reality by taking a human-centered, ethical approach to known sperm donation that’s founded on the belief that it’s a basic human right to know the identity of one’s donor and genetic origins.⁠
    ⁠
    In this conversation, Danielle and I talked all about:⁠
    ⁠
    💙How The Seed Scout is different from traditional sperm banks⁠
    💙The extensive screening process used to make sure donors are aligned with their clients⁠
    💙Why it was so important to learn about and build from the perspective of donor-conceived individuals⁠
    💙How The Seed Scout guides families through the legal and logistical aspects of donor conception to ensure a smooth, ethical process⁠
    💙How they balance the seriousness of family planning with creating a fun and fulfilling experience for their clients⁠
    ⁠
    If you’re curious about sperm donation and want to understand the process, your most ethical options, and how you can actually make this fun, you’re not going to want to miss this episode!⁠

  • The 2WW: When Does Implantation Occur?

    The 2WW: When Does Implantation Occur?
    Oct 16 2024

    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%.

  • Tips for Top Mental Health for Fertility Patients with guest Dr. Anna Glezer

    Tips for Top Mental Health for Fertility Patients with guest Dr. Anna Glezer
    Oct 15 2024
    Today I’m joined by Dr. Anna Glezer, MD and we are talking all about how to stay in top mental health as a fertility patient. Fertility patients know that treatment feels like being on a roller coaster. It's a time that can be full of optimism and disappointment, and because it can feel isolating, I include "Therapist" in my foundations of building your own Fertility TEAM (Therapist, Eating healthy and Exercise, Acupuncture, Mindfulness and Meditation are the basics). I love that Dr. Glezer explains how to approach the whole picture of mental health: getting support, taking good care of yourself, getting enough sleep, finding someone to talk to, eating well, doing some physical activity, and finding an integrative psychologist to work with if that feels right.

    As you'll hear her say, "For anyone who's listening, who might be having a little bit of a hard time with their emotional and psychological health: you're not alone. This is really common. And you should absolutely reach out to get the help that you need."
