6 Things to Know Before You Start In Vitro
IVF is on my radar but I’m a little apprehensive about it. Should I be?
That’s understandable. With a mountain of information available — google searches, anecdotes from family and friends, movies made for basic cable — the topic of in vitro fertilization (IVF for short) leaves many of us feeling a bit overwhelmed and wondering, is this for me? And that’s exactly why Dr. Aimee created this class.
With over 15 years of experience in fertility care, thousands of happy patients, and a talent for real talk, Dr. Aimee is uniquely suited to help you understand what you really need to know about IVF and (this is key) what you can do to take charge of your experience.
Like what and how, specifically?
The modules of this class will walk you through 6 possible stages of the IVF process and how to make the most of each one:
1. Assessing your fertility and what you can do to improve your chances of success.
2. Preparing for your IVF cycle and how to improve egg and sperm quality.
3. Reviewing the various IVF methods and how to choose which is right for you.
4. Preparing for your embryo transfer.
5. Dealing with a failed IVF cycle.
6. Becoming pregnant from an embryo transfer and what to expect along the way.
What will I get out of this class?
After completing the class, you’ll be equipped with the strategies and knowledge that will enable you to feel empowered throughout the process and have more informed discussions with your doctor.
You will also have access to sign up for a live group class call. In it, Dr. Aimee walks you through the curriculum and there is time at the end for your questions. It’s the next best thing to a one-on-one consult with one of the world’s foremost fertility experts.
