Could DNA Fragmentation Testing Cause a Miscarriage? (Ask The Egg Whisperer)


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Aimee goes live to answer your fertility questions, covering topics like DNA fragmentation, thyroid health, PCOS, embryo transfer timing, and more. She's joined by Paula the Producer and takes additional questions from viewers tuning in live! Here are the listener-submitted questions featured in this episode: 1. Sarah (39) from Maryland wrote in to ask: After four early pregnancy losses from unassisted conceptions, and now with four frozen euploid embryos, could DNA fragmentation still be a factor in causing miscarriage? 2. Stephanie (41) from California is wondering: Her doctor suggested doing a second egg retrieval and a frozen embryo transfer in the same week, using an embryo from the first retrieval. Is this really possible, and what are the pros and cons of doing both in one cycle? 3. Alex (38) from England asks Dr. Aimee: With a frozen embryo transfer coming up, does she really need to stop her favorite high-intensity workouts like Hyrox and Barry's Bootcamp? 4. Rebecca (37) from the United Kingdom is asking: After her TSH spiked unexpectedly to 27, can she still proceed with egg retrieval and freeze any good-quality embryos now, even if she needs to delay the transfer until her thyroid is back in range? 5. Lindsay (33) from Rhode Island wrote to ask: With a high antral follicle count but low mature egg yield, what else can she do (beyond lifestyle changes and supplements) to improve egg maturity during IVF? 6. Fab (37) from Australia wonders: After years of endometriosis, multiple surgeries, and one failed IVF cycle with no successful transfers, what can she do differently or consider for her upcoming round? 7. Elise (38) from Oregon wrote in with this question: She experienced intense pregnancy-like symptoms, like breast soreness, cramps, and dizziness, during failed transfers and unmedicated cycles. Is it possible for an embryo to cause these symptoms without actually implanting? 💬 Got a question for Dr. Aimee?
