The Egg Whisperer Show

On today's podcast episode, I'm talking about preparing for embryo transfer. I find that it's helpful to think about embryo transfer the same way you might think about having a very special guest over for dinner.


What are you going to do if you have a very special person over? You're going to make sure everything is absolutely perfect. When it comes to preparing for an embryo transfer, you want to take the same approach. Your metaphorical home in the house analogy is your uterus.


The devastation of doing more tests and finding out that something might be wrong that you have to fix is kind of a pain, but the devastation of going through a transfer that doesn't work is also pretty darn awful. Because I work so hard to help families, if I can do anything to prevent someone from not experiencing the devastation of a negative embryo transfer, I'm going to do everything possible to clean up that house and make sure it's perfect.


What I recommend is that people do 3 tests before embryo transfer to make sure your uterus is absolutely perfect prior to your embryo transfer.They are: Hysteroscopy Saline Infusion, Sonogram, and Hysterosalpingogram.

I'm so excited to have Maya, Jen, and Gina of Em•power with Moxi back for part two of our discussion about embryo donation! Today, we're talking all about becoming a parent through embryo donation.

Maya became a mother through embryo donation, and she is sharing about the emotional shift that comes with choosing to become a parent to a baby that doesn't share your DNA. She also talks about some things to consider when you're deciding if embryo donation is the right choice for you to grow your family. We also talk about genetic counseling, Empower with Moxi's "Moxi Matching" service, and other ways that Empower with Moxi is supporting the community.

The journey of becoming a parent through embryo donation is very special, and I'm so honored to have Maya, Jen, and Gina back to share more about the options, considerations, and beauty of embryo donation.

Thank you for joining me Gina, Jen, and Maya!

In early 2019, Gina, Jen, and Maya came together as mamas on a mission to transform the landscape of embryo donation. Each of them had a different fertility journey that had a connection to embryo donation, and wanted to make embryo donation better understood, more inclusive, and more accessible. And, they wanted to bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and child well being. I'm so excited to have them on the show.

In this episode (which is Part 1 of 2), we're covering donating embryos. Gina and Jen will be talking about options for people who want to donate their embryos, including the psychological considerations, and what patients should know before donating embryos to another family.
