Summary

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses cancelled cycles, why they happen, and why it shouldn’t always be a bad thing if your cycle gets cancelled. Often cycles are cancelled without explanation, but you, as a patient, deserve to know why. She also discusses things you can control to improve your outcomes. In this week’s Fertility in the News, Natalie responds to Elon Musk’s decision to cut fertility benefits from his employees at Twitter. What hurts the most is knowing that he has benefitted from fertility treatments and is fully aware of how expensive it is. She also shares what she wants you to think about if you currently have fertility coverage. Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Are biotin and prenatal supplements healthy? Can IUI still work with male factor if it’s not severe? What do you consider a high AMH? Can you explain how TSH can fluctuate? I have cysts found on my follicles after Clomid. How can I make them go away before my IUI cycle? What are your thoughts on breast feeding during a frozen embryo transfer? Is there a safe level of caffeine during the two week wait? How do I know if I’m not getting my period because of stress or another medical issue? Can you transfer embryos from one clinic to another? Don't forget to ask your questions on Instagram for next week’s For Fertility’s Sake segment when you see the question box on Natalie’s page @nataliecrawfordmd.
