The Egg Whisperer Show

I know there are a lot of fertility myths out there, and some can be downright perplexing if you're trying to do everything you can to have a successful pregnancy. And, when you've been a fertility doctor for a while, let me tell you, you will hear it all.⁠
⁠
So in this episode, I'm tackling TWENTY of the most common fertility myths in a little thing I like to call "Fertility: Fact or Fiction."⁠
⁠
I love talking about these types of things because once you know the truth, you also have a better idea of what may be happening in your own body. I think most people now realize that sperm does in fact matter when you're TTC.⁠
⁠
But, do you need both of your fallopian tubes?⁠
⁠
Is marijuana safe when you're TTC?⁠
⁠
Can someone born without a uterus have a uterine transplant?⁠
⁠
Is an ovarian cyst something to be concerned about?⁠
⁠
Of course, these questions matter, and I want everyone to feel comfortable asking their doctor about them (and for answers to the above: no, no, yes, no).⁠

Most fertility treatment hinges on the strategic use of drugs to help the body be as fertile as possible. My goal is to give each of my patients a personalized fertility plan with custom calendars of what to do, which drug to take, and when.


Today on the podcast, I'm walking through fertility calendars (keeping things confidential, of course) and talking about the drugs I commonly use to give my patients the best chance at fertility success.

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I am joined by Sherri McDonald Sawyerr - IVF mom, content creator, and author of the children's book Love Grew Me - for a real, unfiltered conversation about donor egg conception. Sherri shares her multi-year fertility journey, from early IVF attempts with her own eggs to ultimately finding success with donor eggs after discovering she had adenomyosis, and how she navigated the process as a Black woman in her forties.

We go beyond the medical decision and explore the emotional terrain that so many women face but rarely talk about openly - the grief, the relief, the joy, and the identity questions that come with donor conception. Sherri also shares why she started telling her daughter her conception story from day one, what led her to write a children's book about it, and how she's using her platform to normalize donor egg IVF in communities where the conversation is often taboo.

In this episode, we cover:

The emotional rollercoaster of transitioning from using your own eggs to choosing a donor and how to process those feelings before moving forward
How to choose an egg donor, including why you should stop looking for your "twin" and what actually matters
The unique challenges Black women face when navigating fertility treatment and finding donors who reflect their identity
Why telling your child about their donor conception story early is so important  and how to do it with love and confidence
How adenomyosis went undiagnosed for years and how treating it finally led to a successful transfer
Protecting your postpartum bubble and deciding when (and how) to share your donor conception story with family
How Sherri found the courage to go public and write Love Groom Me to fill a representation gap in donor conception literature

Today, I'm diving into how you can optimize your fertility, especially if you're dealing with endometriosis. This episode was originally hosted by Ashley and Tiffany at Fertility Village Live. 

Whether you're trying to conceive naturally or preparing for IVF, understanding how endometriosis affects your fertility is key. I'll walk you through what this condition means for your eggs and embryos and offer actionable advice for improving your chances of success.


We'll talk about everything from diagnosis to treatment, and I'll share the top strategies I use with my own patients to support egg quality, manage symptoms, and create the best possible environment for pregnancy.


In this episode, we cover:
How endometriosis affects egg and embryo quality
The role of laparoscopy and when it's necessary
How to tailor your fertility treatment if you have endometriosis
Lifestyle changes and supplements that can support reproductive health
Why early diagnosis and intervention matter for long-term fertility outcomes
