Fertility & TTC Planning: Why Planning Early Is the New Standard of Care with Dr. Jaime Knopman

I'm thrilled to share this conversation with my friend and colleague, Dr. Jaime Knopman, a reproductive endocrinologist and author of the newly released book Own Your Fertility. Dr. Knopman brings clarity, honesty, and courage to the conversations our patients need now more than ever. In this episode, are talking fertility-doctor-to-fertility-doctor about egg freezing, IVF success rates, and fertility preservation strategies. If you're wondering when to freeze your eggs, how age affects fertility, or what "fertility tests" actually tell you, this conversation is for you.

Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

We dive deep into the science of fertility decline, debunk common myths about getting pregnant, and discuss practical steps for fertility preservation. Dr. Knopman shares her powerful "fertility puzzle" and "fertility treatment ladder" frameworks that help patients understand their options. We also cover the emotional aspects of infertility, pregnancy loss, and how to build resilience through your fertility journey.

In this episode, we cover:

Why fertility declines at age 32 and what AMH testing really tells you
Egg freezing success rates and how many eggs you actually need
The truth about monthly pregnancy chances (hint: it's not 50/50)
IVF treatment options explained: from IUI to embryo transfer
Fertility myths debunked: hormone balancing, ovulation tracking, and the "fertility test"
How to talk to your doctor about fertility preservation and family planning
Real patient success story: 10 frozen eggs, 1 embryo, 1 healthy baby
