I'm 40, and recently had a miscarriage. How many embryos should I bank to ensure a successful pregnancy? (Ask The Egg Whisperer )

In this episode of Ask the Egg Whisperer, I take a question from Jamie. She writes,

"Hi Dr. Aimee! I just turned 40 in October and had a miscarriage in November. I am starting IVF to get pregnant again more quickly due to my age and the length of time it usually takes me to get pregnant. Is it worth focusing on completing more than 1 cycle (say up to 3) if I only get 1 normal embryo from my first cycle? And then, focus on transfers with what I have? I am worried about transfers taking time due to failed transfers and/or miscarriage and losing more ovarian reserve due to time lost. I am awaiting the results of my AMH test. I am optimistic since I was just pregnant, however I know that age 40 is the beginning of a steep decline in fertility and every month counts."

And here's what I would focus on, for Jamie and others in similar situations:

What is your diagnosis?

This is the first part of the Egg Whisperer DIET.

Be sure and work through the TUSHY Method and speak to your doctor about completing those tests if you don't have a diagnosis. (The full explanation is at TUSHYMethod.com)

The I of the diet is IVF and after your embryos are created you want to make sure you understand all the parts of embryo DIAMONDS.

The other thing is preparing for your embryo transfer (This is the E of the egg whisperer diEt). This is what I refer to as endometrial testing or embryo transfer preparation.

Sit down with your doctor and ask, "what is the likelihood that the embryo is going to implant? Should I try to do bank more?" I do think that it does make sense to consider more than one cycle before you complete the DIET.

T = Transfer!

If you'd like to hear the full answer to Jamie's question, tune in to today's Egg Whisperer Show podcast. The answer is the first one you'll hear.
