In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Geoffrey Sher of Sher
Fertility Solutions. He is an internationally renowned fertility
expert. He trained under “The Fathers of IVF, ” Drs. Patrick
Steptoe and Robert Edwards in the UK. In 1982 he established the
1st private (non-university based) IVF program in the US. Over a
career spanning almost 40 years Dr. Sher has been influential in
the births of over 17000 IVF babies and has helped fashion the
entire field of ART. He is the author of “ In Vitro Fertilization,
the A.R.T. of Making Babies” and (more recently), “Unexplained IVF
failure and Recurrent pregnancy loss: The Immunologic Link”."
Today he's joining me to talk about Immunologic Implantation
Dysfunction (IID), which may be a factor in unexplained IVF failure
and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). He will be talking about how
the endometrial lining plays an important role in embryo
implantation, because as he shares, "you can't put a good seed in
bad soil, or a bad seed in good soil."
