Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh
About this episode
Today, I'm sharing a recent "Ask the Egg Whisperer" episode. Ashley from New York writes in, and she asks, "Hi Dr. Aimee, I was just wondering if PCOS affected egg quality and if it's true that some women with PCOS might be able to conceive for a longer period of time because they release eggs at a lower rate?  I have heard this theory, but I wasn't sure about its veracity. Thanks!"

Tune in to hear my full answer, and the answer to 9 other questions.
