IVF Truths, PGT-A Real Talk, and Fertility Facts with Dr. Nirali Shah Jain

In this episode, I'm talking to Dr. Nirali Shah Jain, a fertility specialist and researcher who's making waves both in the clinic and on social media as @eggspert_md. Dr. Jain brings a refreshing blend of evidence-based medicine and genuine compassion to the often overwhelming world of IVF. We dive deep into her groundbreaking research on PGT-A testing in donor egg cycles, published in Fertility and Sterility, and discuss what it really means for patients making decisions about embryo testing. Her unique background as a trained dancer in Indian classical, modern, and ballet gives her a disciplined yet creative approach to patient care that truly sets her apart.
