People seem to always be full of advice about fertility, and while most of it comes from a place of wanting to be helpful, not all of it is well informed or welcome. When you are trying to conceive, the last thing you want to hear is that you need to "relax." Or "go on a vacation, drink some wine, and let nature run its course." Am I right?   In this episode, I'm sharing the types of treatments th...

Did you know that fertility rates have dropped 50% in the last 5 decades, and more and more people are requiring help to grow their family? Some are calling it "Spermageddon."

And, this is all heartbreaking for the people dealing with infertility, and for us as a society.   Today, I'm honore...

I have patients that come to me from all over the world. There's one question I always ask when reviewing their IVF cycle history. What was your embryo quality? I hear time and time again from patients that they don't know it because their doctor told them embryo quality doesn't matter with IVF. That's simply not true! Just like diamonds in a jewelry store. Quality matters. Just like there is a gr...

IVF is a very emotional journey. It can be riddled with fear, doubt, and is full of periods of waiting and wondering. For my patients, I want to reduce any emotional or physical burdens by creating an IVF checklist for them. It covers the core essentials of everything we need to do, so there are no conversations that begin with, "I wish I would have…" down the road. I don't want you to have to won...

Chemicals in food and everyday...

Is your pregnancy test negative, again? Let's get real. It sucks when we do everything we can in our power to make something happen, and it just doesn't. If you've ever wanted to get pregnant, and have seen a negative result on the test, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter if it's one month of trying or 2 years….

Struggling with fertility is not easy. It's important to stay positive. For example, I like to think of you being IN-fertile. As in you're "in" the club vs. infertile meaning you're "not" fertile. Call me crazy, but I truly believe in the fertility of everyone who walks through my door. Nobody is a number or FSH or AMH level. What do those things even mean? That's what I want to talk to you today....
