Making Babies: A Guide to Donor Egg Pregnancy, hosted by Amanda Casgar of Hysterical

The Egg Whisperer Show

If you know me, you know that I believe hope is an important part of anyone’s fertility journey.

And, as a doctor, I feel it’s very important to explore every option that is out there with a patient so that they can become a parent. I loved getting to talk to Amanda Casgar of Hysterical about what the TTC journey looks like as we age, and speaking about the possibilities that open up when someone is ready to consider donor eggs.

On the one hand, I believe in the fertility of every patient that I meet. I know that you may have been to other doctors, and for many people, your hope is to have a pregnancy with your own eggs.

And on the other hand, I know that there may be a time after a patient has tried different protocols or done several transfers that they are ready to try something else. They may know that beyond anything else, they want to be a parent, and for their own heart they need to have tried every thing possible with their own eggs before choosing other paths.

The truth is that any pregnancy is a miracle.

DNA is not required to become a parent.

And if your heart is set on it: you will become a mother, one way or another.

So thank you for having this very open and transparent conversation with me, Amanda. I love that you’re asking all sorts of questions about pregnancy, and menopause, and donor eggs. I loved our discussion so much that I’ve asked to re-air it on my own podcast today.
