Feeling overwhelmed before you even take your first fertility step? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out blindly.
In this episode, Whitney sits down with Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh, widely known as The Egg Whisperer, to break down what people actually need to know before starting fertility treatment. From simple testing to big-picture decision-making, Dr. Aimee offers clarity, practical guidance, and reassurance for anyone feeling anxious, confused, or unsure where to begin.
Together, they unpack the TUSHY Method, a straightforward framework for understanding fertility health, discuss why early testing matters, and explain common myths around egg quality, age, egg freezing, IVF, and egg donation. Dr. Aimee also shares how to advocate for yourself in medical settings, what questions to ask at your first appointment, and why hope still belongs in this process — even when outcomes feel uncertain.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What fertility tests are worth doing before trying to conceive
- How the TUSHY Method helps identify real answers instead of guesswork
- What AMH, embryo quality, and sperm health actually tell you
- How age impacts fertility timelines and options

- Whether you’re fertility-curious, planning ahead, or already in treatment, this conversation is designed to help you feel informed, grounded, and empowered before you begin.
