Double board certified OBGYN/REI Dr. Temeka Zore joins your hosts as they prepare for their egg freezing journey. Before their conversation, your hosts also touch on the scandal of fake nursing diplomas and transcripts being sold in Florida. 

Dr. Zore answers all your hosts’ questions on egg freezing and IVF, what it was about reproductive endocrinology and fertility that made her want to specialize in it, and what the schooling looks like (spoiler alert: it’s extensive). They touch on custody agreements with embryos, Dr. Zore’s personal experience with freezing her embryos, and how many eggs survive the thawing process. She also touches on genetic testing, the percentage she sees of people doing IVF vs. egg freezing, and the male biological clock. We hope this conversation is as beneficial to anyone out there considering the IVF or egg freezing process as it was to your hosts!
