National Infertility Awareness Week is not just about spreading awareness of infertility, it is an opportunity to help educate. I am excited to share this video where I explain why IVF is not always the first step in fertility treatment. In fact, many of my patients may not need IVF at all. If you prefer to read my blog, you can check that out here: https://rmanetwork.com/blog/does-every-patient-need-ivf/... #nationalinfertilityawarenessweek #niaw2021 #infertilityawareness #infertilitywarrior #infertilityjourney #fertilityjourney #ivfwarrior #ivfjourney #ivfcommunity

I highly recommend this article from my colleagues Dr. Jason Franasiak and Emily Osman, MD discussing weight and fertility.

It’s Black History Month, and as a Fertility Specialist, I would like to highlight the #fertility issues in the black community. Black women are 2x more likely to experience infertility, but less likely to seek and have access to fertility testing and treatment. For anyone unsure where to start, schedule an appointment with a fertility specialist if you’ve been trying to conceive for over 1 year (if under 35 years old) or 6 months ( over 35 years old). #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #ttc #blackhealthmatters #womenshealth
