Mini-series ep. 2: Where small details = big outcomes – Your IVF lab questions, answered

IVF success is, in huge part, built in the lab. In this episode, Eloise Edington speaks with Dr. Dana Ambler of Denver Fertility Care about what really matters inside a modern IVF lab in Colorado, from embryo culture to the small details that influence big outcomes.

When you think about IVF success, you might focus on your age, or the medication you’ll be taking. These both play a really important role, but one of the most powerful (and least visible) factors is the IVF lab itself.

In Episode 2, TRB Founder Eloise Edington welcomes back Dr. Dana Ambler, DO, Reproductive Endocrinologist, OBGYN, and Fertility Specialist at Denver Fertility Care, to explore how lab design, technology and daily decision-making inside a fertility clinic in Colorado can quietly shape outcomes.

This episode dives into the details you’re rarely shown from a patient POV, but absolutely deserve to understand.

What we cover in this episode

Eloise and Dr. Ambler discuss:

  • How independent clinic ownership influences decisions around IVF lab technology
  • What a modern, state-of-the-art IVF lab in Denver actually looks like behind the scenes
  • What embryo culture is, and why it’s foundational to IVF success
  • How to understand embryo grading without fear or unnecessary pressure
  • Why Denver Fertility Care’s lab, built in 2018, differs from older or high-volume labs in the region
  • How air quality, incubation systems, and lab layout affect embryo development
  • The advantages of a smaller, carefully controlled lab environment
  • A real-world example of how a “small” lab detail made a meaningful difference in outcomes
  • The lab-related questions patients should be asking when choosing a fertility clinic
  • How ownership and lab decisions ultimately connect to success rates and patient experience
