Summary

In this week’s episode, Dr. Natalie Crawford offers an overview of the frozen embryo transfer. She discusses different protocols, why the timing is what it is, and what you should know if you’re preparing to undergo IVF and an embryo transfer. She explains that, no, your embryos won’t get freezer burn, and that you should keep them as long as you possibly can. For the Fertility in the News segment, Dr. Crawford addresses a story published by CNN and others, highlighting parents who welcomed twins from embryos frozen 30 years ago. And while the headline is lovely, Natalie addresses the subject's use of the word “adoption” in place of donation, and explains how the company used in this case is actually a discriminatory successful financial organization. Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. She addresses: How long after a D&C would you recommend trying again? Can fallopian tubes be unblocked with surgery? Thoughts on breastfeeding during a frozen transfer? And more!
