In this episode, Dr Alex explains how egg freezing works, what the process actually involves, how age affects your chances, and why the number of eggs collected does not always tell the whole story.

How Does a Fertility Doctor Work with the Lab?

For those new to the world of fertility treatments, the way that fertility specialists work with fertility providers can be a bit confusing. Who does what? Is your fertility doctor in charge of choosing the embryos, or is that the scientist? In this episode, we explain who does what during fertility treatments, why a doctor will work with one fertility provider over another— and most importantly of all — what benefits the patient (you!) gets when their specialist chooses to work with a leading provider like Genea.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

When Surgery is (Sometimes) the Answer

Despite his reputation for precision and excellent outcomes, surgery is rarely Dr Alex’s first option when it comes to gynaecological concerns. But in some cases, surgery is required to remove physical barriers to fertility. In this episode, we talk about the common gynaecological conditions, when to consider surgery over other treatments, and why it is so important that women see a gynaecologist who is also trained in fertility medicine — even if they are not ready to start a family right now.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
