Today on the Egg Whisperer Show, I’m delighted to have the inventor of the IVF Pyramid joining me! 

So often in IVF, we talk about things in terms of depletion. What are you losing? For example, you start off with a certain number of eggs at the beginning of the cycle. That’s called the antral follicle count. As the cycle progresses sometimes not all of those eggs grow. In the end, for example, you may gain two healthy embryos from twenty follicles and so it is a natural and normal human response to feel like something is lost and that something was taken away from you. I want to flip that on its head.
Instead, you’ve started with twenty eggs from which you’ve now gained two embryos. So it took twenty follicles to get the two eggs from that cycle. Dr. Ezzati’s pyramid makes this concept much easier to understand.

I’m excited to have this conversation during National Infertility Awareness Week! Understanding your own personalized IVF Pyramid, and, focusing on what a patient gains during IVF are two ways we all can revolutionize the world of fertility medicine. It just takes talking about the whole process a little differently to help you know more, and I can’t wait for you to hear how Dr. Ezzati explains it.

The more you know, the better things will go.

Full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/what-is-the-era-test
The time to talk about "everything I can possibly do to give myself the best chance of pregnancy success" is BEFORE your embryo transfer. Not after. This is why I discuss tests like the ERA test and Receptivadx test with all my patients before transfer. Every embryo is important to me and I want to make sure I'm doing the very best job for every patient I meet.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
I also know that there's a virtual alphabet soup of three letter abbreviations that surround the whole fertility journey, so this week on the podcast, I'm breaking down the steps that I take when doing the ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) test, and how it could help you. The ERA tells us exactly when to start progesterone before a transfer to give the embryo the highest chance of implantation success. Think of it as a personal evite to your Embryo Transfer Party! In a way, the test tells you exactly when to show up for the party. I will also talk about the Receptivadx test that basically tells you what to wear to the party (the protocol you should use).⠀⁠
⠀⁠
If you know me, you know that I love using the latest technology, mixed with personalized care, to set patients up for the best chance of success.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
So, how does it work? How do I do it? What's involved? What's the technology behind ERA? Find out all the behind the scenes info in this episode.

Ever wondered what the heck AMH stands for? It’s been a hot topic recently, as women are getting their AMH levels tested. AMH is short for Anti-Müllerian Hormone – a nifty little hormone secreted by the egg-surrounding cells in your ovaries. Think of it as a fertility fortune-teller with a murky crystal ball, giving you some valuable clues into your egg stash. The funny thing about AMH is that I also like to call it the “Always Meandering Hormone,” because your AMH levels can wander month to month and year to year.
Does a low AMH mean you're out of eggs, or going to have a difficult time getting pregnant? Not necessarily! 
And a high AMH doesn't guarantee you’ll have an easy time getting pregnant . Remember, it's not the be-all and end-all of fertility assessments.
That’s why you might get different AMH readings depending on when you test. And, it’s also why I like to test FSH and Estradiol levels in addition to AMH to get a full picture of a patient’s fertility levels.
Today on the blog, I’m doing a deeper dive on AMH, and what you need to know about it. I’ve had too many people question if their AMH is wrong, and what that means for IVF, and so I wanted to share all my thoughts with you.
So, don't go scheduling weekly AMH check-ups like they're brunch dates. Remember, it's a slow and steady decline, kinda like the plot twist in your favorite rom-com. So, keep calm and check your AMH when needed – no need for monthly updates, folks! 
Bottom line? Get the deets on your AMH, craft your game plan, and remember, fertility is a journey, not a sprint! You can learn more at my site:
