Summary

Dr. Natalie Crawford chats about genetic testing while trying to conceive, including why it’s important, when you should get carrier testing, abnormalities in your genes that can cause diseases, genetic testing of embryos, and more. Genetic testing—both in parents and embryos—is safe and ever-expanding. It also allows you more options when starting a family. In this week’s Fertility in the News, Natalie discusses the CDC’s recent report on maternal mortality and how an estimated 84% of pregnancy-related deaths in 36 states between 2017 and 2019 were preventable. Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Is it best to avoid working out before the two-week wait? Are at-home sperm analysis kits accurate? Is IVF the best option if you have a high AMH and can’t ovulate with oral medication? 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.
