🧬 New Podcast Episode: Embryo Glue, Round Two — Same Glue, New Data

If you’ve ever wondered, “Should we be doing everything possible?” 💙 this episode is for you.

Embryo glue is one of the most talked-about IVF add-ons, and since we last covered it in 2023, the science has continued to evolve. In this new episode, I break down what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what the data actually shows — without hype or pressure.

We talk about:
📊 Why embryo glue is considered safe and non-inferior
📈 Where it might offer a small benefit
🧠 Why “percentage increases” can be misleading
💡 And how to think about these decisions realistically

This episode is about clarity in a process that often feels anything but clear.

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) isn’t a single problem — and treating it like one is why so many people get stuck, frustrated, and confused.

This Wednesday, live on S***m Meets Egg, Dr. Steven Palter — internationally recognized reproductive endocrinologist and founder of Gold Coast IVF — pulls back the curtain on what PCOS really is and how he personally approaches treatment in his clinical practice. Dr. Palter has developed customized protocols (including his “PCOS to Pregnancy Protocol”) to help patients break out of cookie-cutter solutions and find a path that works for them.

* Why common PCOS advice fails so many people
* How PCOS varies dramatically between individuals
* What Dr. Palter looks for when building a treatment plan
* Real-world strategies to improve fertility outcomes

🚨 NEW EPISODE JUST DROPPED! 🚨

“When the Math Ain’t Mathing: The Hidden Problem With Mosaic Embryos”

What if I told you that more genetic information during IVF could actually mean… worse pregnancy rates? 🤯
Sounds impossible, right?
But that’s exactly what a major study showed — and today, we break down why the math isn’t mathing.

Inside this episode:
🔍 Why some PGT-A labs report 2% mosaics while others report 15–20%
🧬 How “mosaic” doesn’t always mean what you think it means
⚠️ The surprising way too many mosaic calls can push GOOD embryos to the back of the line
📉 How selection bias can silently lower success rates — even when transferring “euploid” embryos
💡 And why more information isn’t always better in fertility care

If you’ve ever felt confused, stressed, or frustrated by mosaic results, this episode will make everything click.

What do you do with your leftover embryos? It’s one of the toughest, most emotional decisions in all of fertility care. In this episode of S***m Meets Egg, we break down every option clearly and honestly—keeping them frozen, discarding them, using them in future cycles, donating to research, and donating to another family.

We’ll be joined by Acts of Kindness (AOK), an organization dedicated to helping families give their remaining embryos a new chance at life through embryo donation. Together, we’ll explore how embryo donation works, who it’s a good fit for, what the process looks like, and the ethical and emotional layers behind the choice.

Whether you already have embryos in storage or are simply planning ahead, this episode offers straightforward guidance to help you make the decision that feels right for your family and your embryos’ future.

You make embryos hoping to grow your family…
but sometimes, you finish treatment with extra embryos and don’t know what comes next.

If this decision weighs on you, you’re not alone.

🥚💥 What if the eggs that looked “perfect” on retrieval day… were never the problem at all?

🔍 What if the real issue was something no embryologist on Earth can see — no matter how beautiful the egg looks under a microscope?

This week, Dr. Amols breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of IVF:

✨ Why perfect-looking eggs sometimes fail.
✨ Why this does not mean the cycle was hopeless…
✨ And why the patient did nothing wrong.

If you’ve ever walked away from fertilization reports, blast updates, or a failed transfer thinking,
“But they said my eggs looked great — what happened?”
…this episode is for you.

🎧 New Episode: Good Eggs Gone Bad
Your understanding of IVF will change after this.

QUIZ TIME!
What’s the chance a 40-year-old gets pregnant from one IUI cycle?

A: 5%
B: 10%
C: 15%

👇 Answer:

Most 40-year-olds have about a ~5% chance per cycle — and that number depends heavily on s***m quality, how many eggs are recruited, and the clinic’s protocol.

In this week’s episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, we break down:
• What actually happens during an IUI
• What affects success the most
• The REAL math behind each cycle
• When to keep going — and when to pivot
• Why age changes the equation
