Making Babies: A Guide to Donor Egg Pregnancy, hosted by Amanda Casgar of Hysterical

I had the pleasure of joining Amanda Casgar, co-founder of Hysterical, for a deep dive into fertility, perimenopause, and what’s possible when it comes to having babies later in life. We covered a lot—my own journey into reproductive endocrinology, my family’s background in OB-GYN, and why I’m so passionate about empowering women with knowledge about their reproductive health.

In this conversation, I walk through my TUSHY Method for fertility testing, the emotional side of fertility treatments, and the importance of having a strong sense of purpose throughout the process. We also explored cutting-edge procedures like ovarian PRP, the impact of endometriosis, and the latest innovations in reproductive medicine.

If you’re curious about egg freezing—how many eggs you might need, the costs, and what to consider if you’re over 40—we got into all of that too. Plus, we discussed pregnancy over 50, financing options for fertility treatments, and how to navigate the mental health challenges that can come with IVF.

In this episode, we cover:

•     How to assess your fertility with my TUSHY Method
•     The latest on egg freezing—costs, viability, and how many eggs you really need
•     What perimenopause means for your fertility and hormone health
•     The emotional toll of fertility treatments and how to support your mental health
•     Innovations in reproductive medicine, including ovarian PRP and egg donation options
