Top Tips from an Embryologist to Help Improve Chances of Pregnancy Success

Top Tips from an Embryologist to Help Improve Chances of Pregnancy Success

Kristen Jones joins us this week as we're digging everything you wanted to ask an embryologist.

You may be considering IVF for 2022.

I highly recommend doing targeted diet/lifestyle changes first to optimize IVF success.

If you haven't addressed underlying healing opportunities you may end up with poor response and cancelled cycles that can amount to huge emotional and financial stress.

We specialize in low AMH/high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency and diminished ovarian reserve. Most couples that come to us have made a lot of changes already and they're not sure what to do next.

There is no downside to working on your health. For both you and your partner. You'll either get pregnant naturally of if you do need to go to IVF you'll improve the chances with your own eggs.

In the meantime while you are making these lifestyle changes you may have some very specific questions about egg and sperm health.

Today I'm excited to welcome Kristen Jones to the podcast. Kristen is an Embryologist with a Masters degree in Reproductive Medicine.

In this episode you'll learn:

1) How to optimize egg and sperm health to improve pregnancy success

2) Thoughts on frozen versus fresh transfer.

3) When is it best to transfer day 3 or day 5

4) The pro's and con's of PGS (preimplantation genetic screening)
