Ep 39: Kick-starting IVF–How to choose your clinic & what your embryologist wants you to know with Embryologist Allison Anderson

Our favorite embryologist is back! Allison Anderson is here to kick off a new real-time IVF series as Amy begins another cycle. We’re starting at square one: how to choose the right clinic, doctor, and embryology lab, and how to communicate with the team who will be caring for your embryos.

Allison demystifies what actually happens in the lab, shares empowering patient advocacy tips, along with funny behind-the-scenes stories (yes, embryologist nicknames are real).

Follow Allison on Instagram @askanembryologist and Tiktok.
