Fertility Screening

Understanding your own personal fertility is the path to becoming empowered and creating a plan for your future family. A fertility screening involves three steps.

1. An Egg Whisperer Fertility Awareness Panel that tests the three hormones key to your fertility
2. A consultation with Dr. Aimee
3. Putting together a plan that’s meaningful for you and your specific situation

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

IVF can increase the chances of getting pregnant. The process involves stimulating eggs with hormones to grow in the ovaries then removing them through surgery, also known as egg retrieval. The eggs and sperm are then either placed together in a petri dish, or a single sperm is injected into an egg to achieve fertilization.

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

FET is a procedure where a previously frozen embryo is thawed and transferred into the uterus to establish a pregnancy. The process involves preparing the uterus to receive the embryo, thawing the embryo, and then placing the embryo into the uterus at the optimal time with the help of a brief and relatively simple procedure.

Mock Cycle & Implantation Testing

A mock cycle is like a practice run for your embryo transfer. It involves taking medication as if you were preparing for a transfer. This way, we can troubleshoot any potential issues ahead of time to avoid complications on the actual transfer day.

Additionally, this “practice” cycle is also used for implantation testing. Since your embryos are so precious to us, we leave no stone unturned as we prepare for your actual transfer to give you the best chance at success.

Uterine PRP

Uterine Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves infusing PRP directly into your uterine lining. You should expect an improvement in your uterine lining thickness and an enhanced endometrial receptivity during an embryo transfer.

Ovarian PRP

Ovarian Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves infusing PRP directly into the ovaries. For some patients, it can activate dormant follicles, potentially increasing the number of follicles and improving the chances of retrieving a healthy egg or eggs.

Freeze and Share Program

Freeze and Share is a unique program that serves both sides of the fertility gap: young women looking to freeze their eggs can do so at no cost by donating half to those seeking donor eggs. It’s a meaningful connection and beautiful exchange. 

Gestational Carrier

A gestational carrier (GC) is a woman who carries a pregnancy for intended parents (IPs). We call them modern day superheroes. Unlike a traditional surrogate, a GC is not biologically related to the child she carries. The embryo is created through IVF, using the eggs and sperm of the IPs or donors. Whether you’re looking to find a GC or interested in being a GC, we can help.

Egg/Sperm/Embryo Donation

Donation, when done thoughtfully, is a beautiful exchange. It’s an act of love, and one that both donor and recipient can feel good about! We provide compassionate support for individuals looking for egg, sperm, or embryo donors, as well as individuals who want to donate.
