Embryo Donation: One Doctor's Story with guest Dr. Paula Amato

In today's Egg Whisperer Show Podcast, I'm so excited to be joined by Dr. Paula Amato. She is a fertility specialist who froze embryos in her 30s using sperm from an anonymous donor. Later, Dr. Amato decided to donate her embryos. She shared about this journey and what she learned as a fertility doctor in a recent article published in Fertility and Sterility titled: "The fertile window: what donating my embryos taught me about being a fertility doctor."

We're going to talk all about her decision to donate her embryos, what looking into the genetics of those embryos taught her, and what she learned from the process. It's an amazing story, and it's interesting to hear a fertility specialist talk about her experience as both a doctor, and a patient.

Dr. Paula Amato is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, at the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine in Portland, Oregon. She also is a Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Specialist and has over 33 years of experience in the medical field. She graduated from University of Toronto medical school, and did her fellowship at UC San Diego.

Thank you for joining me, Paula! Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.
