“So the PGT-A result will tell us if our embryo is normal or abnormal right?”
Not exactly. 👀

When we run PGT-A, we don’t touch the cells that become your baby.
We biopsy the trophectoderm. The outer cells. The ones destined to become the placenta. 5 to 10 cells, from the outside and that’s the whole sample.
The inner cell mass, that clump of cells in the middle go on to become your baby. We leave them completely alone.
So the result can come back euploid, aneuploid, low mosaic, high mosaic.... or at times inconclusive….

In this masterclass I dove into the world of mosaic embryos, how they come about and what the research tells us.
I’ve biopsied many of these embryos myself. Now I help you understand yours. 💛

Trust your fertility doctor. They place you on the oral contraceptive pill for a reason. They all want the best outcome for you. Ask questions and know why this protocol was chosen for your particular case.

Infertility and IVF changed the course of my life.

There was a version of me who didn’t know if this would be my story.
Infertility brought emotional and physical challenges I wasn’t prepared for. The waiting. The unknown. The quiet moments where you question everything.

IVF became part of my journey to motherhood. Not just because it helped me become a mom… but because it gave me a deep understanding of what people are really going through behind closed doors.

Now, as an IVF scientist in your pocket, I spend my days supporting individuals and couples navigating infertility, IVF, and embryo transfer decisions.

Becoming mom to these two little humans reminded me in the most personal way that every path to a child is different.
And every story deserves space. Compassion. And hope. 🤍

If you’re going through infertility or IVF right now… I see you.

No one talks about this part.
The empty spaces. The quiet house. The “not yet.”

While everyone else is cleaning up toys… you’re still waiting for your turn.

I see you. I was you.

I was 1 in 6.
Now I support 1 in 6.

And I hope your “not yet” turns into “finally” sooner than you think. ✨

What can you actually do to improve your chances of a live birth after an embryo transfer?

I get asked this all the time.

So during National Infertility Awareness Week, I took this question straight to Natalie Crawford, double board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist.

Because IVF success isn’t just about the transfer day.

It’s about:
Embryo quality
Uterine environment
Inflammation
Insulin resistance
And asking the right questions before you move forward

IVF can feel overwhelming, especially after failed cycles or when you’re not getting clear answers.

You don’t have to navigate this blindly.

When we freeze embryos in the lab, what are they actually sitting on? 🤔
