The Egg Whisperer Show Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh

Dr. Geoffrey Sher is back, and we are talking about Intrauterine Insemination, or IUI. In 1982, Dr. Sher and his colleagues were the first to wash sperm, and then put it through a centrifuge process. After an incubation period, they used a catheter to inject the sperm into the uterine cavity of a patient. He's a true pioneer, and this was the first time IUI had been done!.

I know you will enjoy learning more about IUI from him. We're sharing about how IUI works, and why it's recommended for some patients. We also discuss the differences between IUI and IVF, and when you might pick one over the other.

It's a delight to have Dr. Geoffrey Sher back. He's been on the show several times, and our discussion on "How to Avoid Implantation Failure During IVF" is one of the most viewed on the channel! Today we're talking about treating Endometriosis - related infertility. 

Here are some facts about Endometriosis as shared by Dr. Sher:


 - Endometriosis is a condition where cells similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grow outside of the uterus, in the pelvic cavity. 
 - It occurs in about 10% of all women and can be symptom free or may cause a wide spectrum of symptoms. 
 - It’s estimated that 25% - 40% of all female infertility is linked to endometriosis in some way. 
 - Endometriosis is a life-long condition. It cannot be completely removed or cured. While endometriosis can usually be controlled (medically or surgically), the condition itself is not curable.
 - Removing endometriomas from an ovary may help with getting pregnant.


Dr. Sher is also sharing information about how the endometrium begins to grow outside the uterus, and why some women remain asymptomatic, and others develop symptoms.

Did you know that fertility rates have dropped 50% in the last 5 decades, and more and more people are requiring help to grow their family? Some are calling it "Spermageddon." I'm not one to run with fantastical headlines, but the truth is that we are facing an infertility epidemic. And, this is all heartbreaking for the people dealing with infertility, and for us as a society. Today, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Shanna Swan on The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about this upsetting truth.
Dr. Swan is one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a Professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men’s and women’s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. She just recently published her book, “Countdown: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.”
We will be talking about the data and information that Dr. Swan has gathered, the environmental factors that are playing a role, and what we can do to reverse some of the impact. I hope you'll tune in and share this information far and wide. CountMeIn on changing this epidemic - and thank you for writing your eye-opening book, Dr. Swan.

The relationship between sleep and fertility isn't something that's talked about very much. I'm excited to have sleep expert, Dr. Sara Nowakowski, joining me today.

We all know sleep is important, but did you know that sleep helps you recover from illness and rebound from life challenges? It also helps with mood regulation and decreases depression and anxiety, and it has been shown to help memory consolidation.

Plus, there is scientific evidence to show that sleep impacts hormones, has varying effects during the different phases of a woman's reproductive life (when trying to conceive, during pregnancy, and during perimenopause and menopause). Sara is sharing some of the findings about this, along with some tips on improving sleeping habits.

Sara Nowakowski, PhD, is an Associate Professor at Baylor College of Medicine and treats patients with insomnia and other sleep disorders at the Baylor Sleep Medicine Clinic. She is also a Research Health Scientist at the Houston VA, where she conducts research on sleep and women’s health.

Thank you for joining me, Sara!
