The Egg Whisperer Show

In this episode, I'm breaking down something that should be simple but often isn't: how to plan your fertility future. You don't need to be a fertility specialist or have a science degree to understand the basics of fertility planning. I want everyone to approach this the same way you'd plan a vacation: with intention, research, and realistic expectations. The most important thing I want you to know? Humans ovulate just one egg per month, and that egg only has about a 15% chance of being genetically healthy, even in our twenties. This fundamental truth changes everything about how we should approach family planning. Throughout this episode, I share my three-rule framework that I live by:  What do I want?  What is it going to take to get what I want?  And am I willing to do it?  When applied to fertility, these questions help you get concrete and honest about your timeline, your options, and the steps you need to take now to avoid struggle later. I explain why fertility treatment is really about "egg rescue" - saving eggs from being lost forever - and why planning your fertility deserves at least as much attention as planning that dream vacation to the Maldives. In this episode, we cover: Understanding that we ovulate only one egg per month with a 15% chance of genetic viability at best The reality of conception timelines: why it can take 6-12 months for healthy couples to conceive Miscarriage statistics and why 20-30% of pregnancies end in the first trimester through no fault of your own The three-question framework for planning your fertility future: what you want, what it takes, and your willingness to act How egg freezing works as "IVF without the F" and why it's about rescuing eggs, not depleting them Age-related fertility decline: why your chances at 41 (10% viable eggs) are dramatically different than in your twenties Preparing for pregnancy like you'd prepare for a vacation: getting medically ready, addressing health issues, and genetic carrier screening Do you have questions about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.
