Egg Freezing, IVF & Surrogacy: What to Know with Dr. Sara Mucowski
Listen now
About this episode.
On today’s episode of The Surrogacy Scoop, we sit down with Dr. Sara Mucowski, a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist at Dallas IVF, to talk about egg freezing, IVF, and surrogacy. We explore her path into reproductive medicine, fertility testing and ovarian reserve, and how age and timing factor into planning for future parenthood.
Dr. Mucowski shares her own experience freezing her eggs, including what surprised her along the way. We discuss the differences between freezing eggs and embryos, what fertility preservation can—and can’t—promise, and a fertility specialist’s role in gestational surrogacy. She also addresses online claims about fertility supplements and the importance of discussing them with your doctor.
Whether you’re thinking ahead, navigating infertility, or exploring surrogacy, this conversation offers a starting point for understanding your options and preparing questions for your fertility care team.
