Secrets of IVF Stimulation

So brilliant thank you

Do you start birth control pills during the luteal phase?

Egg Freezing is a billion dollar industry just like the pill pushing pharma industry. Find a supportive doctor who believes in your ability to trust your body's innate wisdom and getting pregnant naturally.

Also eat healthy, stop exposure to PFAs, glyphosate (which the govt does not want to ban and does not want the public to know), pesticides in food, fluoride, water contaminants, non stick cookware, artificial perfumes, fragrances, detergents etc. Eat healthy, clean, organic and exercise appropriately. Regulate your adrenals VERY important, go to a somatic therapist like right away. If you have childhood trauma or complex PTSD, address that with an IFS Therapist simultaneously. Get out of a bad relationship if you are in one. AYURVEDIC diet per your body type. detox liver gall bladder, kidney, NO SUGAR, GLUTEN OR DAIRY.. eat nutrient rich food, not too much and chew really well. Enjoy your food. and you have your best chance. Stop listening to negative nancys and old paradigm people. All this can be addressed in a meaningful way in 3-6 months if you get started right away and commit to it. All the best.


FUN FACT: ONLY FEMALE HUMANS HAVE MENOPAUSE, OTHERS MAMMALS DON't. Think about it for a moment. Why is that? Men prefer younger women so it's an evolutionary trait but not natural. That is why till date, there's no definitive proof that women don't produce new eggs after menopause! In fact, newer research suggests that egg-producing capacity merely gets turned off due to a drop in hormones supplied to the surrounding cells not the actual egg cells ( faster due to modern day lifestyle and there are natural ways to raise those hormone levels think about it). I can't post links here so please google it. Of course, they don't invest as much into women's reproductive and health research due to deep-seated patriarchy and social conditioning so we won't have the proof for quite a while yet🤷🏻‍♀ Now in the olden times, those women were under nourished so the underlying issue was different though the result was the same, no birth after mid-40s but don't confuse between the two. When women start giving birth later and later, they will have to come around. Look up IVG and the future of reproductive tech. Don't listen to the naysayers with their half baked information.

So unfortunate that ur not a md in Québec 😂😢

Is Dr Amy still giving live shows?

I'm retrieving soon and had ZERO priming whatsoever. My doctor wanted a mid-luteal start, which apparently relies on ovulation for priming. But when I went to get my baseline, my ultrasounds and bloodwork were consistent with early follicular phase instead. They started me on stims anyway since my follicles apparently looked where they should be. It was the oddest experience.

hello ma'am

I am interested in GHG omnitrope for my next IVF cycle and my doctor is open to it as long as I bring him a protocol is being used. I am having a hard time finding information regarding protocols and dosage for Omnitrope from fertility settings. Just looking examples or to be pointed in the right direction. Thank you for all your great info!!

Any recommendations if 2 fertilized eggs arrest at day 3? Eight eggs; 6 retrieved; 4 matured; only 2 fertilized ICSI. FYI all labs and diag test wnl. Had gonal, menopaur, ganarelix and HCG trigger shot.

What is your professional opinion on using a heating pad on abdomen during stims?

Are there any safety concerns with taking human growth hormone as part of an IVF protocol? I noticed there are studies out there (mainly looking at GH supplementation in children) that discuss a potential association between GH and certain cancers (i.e., colorectal, bladder). Should I be concerned with that, if I have normal GH levels, and use GH as an adjunct in IVF?

Thank you Dr Aimee! You’re the best!

Hello Dr, What is the protocol for low responder to ivf medication? When DR gave me cetratide my estradiol and follicle growth slowed down after that so he canceled cycle plzzz advice....

I can’t believe you give your patients your cell number! I only saw my doc the day of my retrieval!

Dr. Aimee, what should LDL level be below (for fertility)?

My doc is starting with Birth control before IVF. Pray for me. It is really hard to have PCOS and not able to be a mom even after normal hormones and cycle. :(

is it ok to have half a can of red bull during IVF treatment?? I loove it.

Hi DR
I'm 35 yr old female muslim ,currently undergoing ivf treatment. I'm at the egg stimulation step..but the thing is that we have Ramadan these days? I want to ask will is it safe to fast during the ovary stimulation phase? Would be anxiously looking fwd to your reply.
Thankyou ❤

Please tell me is there any IVF protocol to Avoid the butt injections? Like maybe collect eggs first cycle and transfer the next cycle? 🙏🙏

Hi Amy I’m a little concerned I’m on my second Ivf cycle my first one failed, but my question I’m on my 3rd day of stim and I’m bleeding sort of heavy but dark red blood should I be concerned my first round I don’t remember having a menstrual until after egg retrieval. any suggestions or opinions of my situation

My doctor recommended IVF because my husband has low /poor sperm count and mobility. I also did test on my side and my ovaries and everything came back normal . No problems. We haven’t actually TRIED meaning tracking and baby dancing on OV day until now so do I just jump into IVF or find another way?
Or can you we try some pills to help improve his sperm overall ? Btw I’m 25

I just started my injections of gonal f last night 😬 I started with Levlen birth control for 3 weeks ago....at age 43 with an AMH of 16 and a few small fibroids and.....pcos(no weight related issues) im nervous excited! I stopped drinking alcohol 2months ago and I alternate decaf coffee with half strength coffee 1 per day. Trying to eat more vege and fruit and a tad less meat....and manage my stress levels. What I can never understand is how many....drug addicts/alcohol dependent/overweight....women fall pregnant soo easily 😔 i feel like i live the life of a hermit. Really enjoying your channel. Oh the injections don't hurt at all 🥰

This is such a helpful video for IVF beginners like me! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making me feel powered through this journey!

Hi Doctor
Please I need a reply on this question thanks
My two fallopian tube have been removed because of atopic pregnancy, I am just 27 years old please what can I do to get pregnant IVF OR IUI ? please reply

Dr. Aimee, you are a blessing! I'm 43 and just had my first IVF cycle, I have 2 more to go. IVF is HARD and is a very rigid process. Thank you for all the information you are putting out there and the awesome advise, I learned a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

I had one tube removed and was told I needed Ivf to get pregnant. I wasn’t told if my other tube was blocked or not. What should I do 1st to start the journey towards getting pregnant?

Amazing Dr. Amiee, it's a great show! I'm about to start medications in couple days. I've noticed there's one protocol you showed in the video that the Gonal F 300 ( AM), Menopur x 4 (PM) and Centrotide ( PM ), here is my 1st question about the injection time, does it matter? My doctor indicates to take Gonal F and Menopur in the AM together, only Centrotide in the PM? My 2nd question about HGH, you added this medication in 3 different protocols, what's the benefit from it? Is it necessary? Thank you

I am 38 years i already did a ivf an the dr over stimmed me,i used repronx,cetrotide, gonal f and puregon.
I am doing a next ivf and i am using gonal f,prometrium, menopur and cetrotide will that over stimmed me again

Hi Dr. Aimee! I’m on my day #11 of stimulation meds, my follicles are measuring about 17-18, I have a couple over 20. They told me I might need a couple more days on meds before the trigger shot. Anything you would recommend to improve the quality and size of my follicles at this point?
Thank you! ☺️😊

Doctor, you are hilarious and so fun to learn fertility with. <3
I hope that my specialist will be as cool and inspiring as you.
Wish me luck! :)

I love that you're open to anyone and not just your patients. It shows what you really care about!❤❤

You said the baseline scan is to check see if there are any cysts. What if there is a cyst, is the cycle cancelled to get rid of it or it'll let you know how much medication is needed because of it (cyst)??

I am very sorry, where is your practice located? Thank you 🤗 p.s you are a spectacular doctor 💕

How to decide the protocol for egg stimulation if the egg size doesn't. Grow to optimum more than 17 mm and does not release on its own ?? We used FSh 75 on day 2 4 6 8 and OI but unsuccessful.

Im pre-menopause and I’m on birth control because we are doing our frozen embrios transfer in one month. If my hormones are in pre menopause, can this be cause of failure of the transfer?

My egg is poor quality I’m 25 year old
One ivf cycle failed
Now Tom day two this I have ivf
And pls let me fresh transfer is good or freeze is best

Amh 13, what does that mean?

Any tips for increasing sperm count, super low maybe 30 living after centrifuged? Thanks!

You have an awesome personality. Love that you take the time to respond to people's questions.

I am 43 and my AMH is 2.4 and FSH is 8... But nothing was happening even though all "channels were clear. We are doing IVF now. THANK you for helping me make the list of questions. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! My levels are fantastic for my age because of all kinds of hocus pocus LOL Ubiquinnol, DHEA, Melatonin, Prenatals, and Vit D.

Should I do a fresh transfer or should I test the embryos?

God I wish you were close to me. You are so thorough with info. You crack me up

I have precancerous cells around my uterus. So I cant get pregnant normally.. so my fertility doctor recommended IVF. What are my chances to actually having a baby, I turn 41 next year. I have taken many test, my egg quality is good. I been trying to get pregnant for 5 years.. i just want my bundle of joy in my arms.. it is very depressing.
