Summary

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses when to get a second opinion and how to go about it. The relationship between you and your fertility doctor is important, and it is a very personal relationship, so it’s important you find the right fit. In this week’s Fertility in the News, Natalie discusses a review in Human Reproduction Update, reported by CNN, that examines how sperm counts may be declining globally, sparking a debate over male fertility. Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Do you recommend ICSI with a normal sperm count? How long after you have an IVF baby should you wait before trying to transfer a frozen embryo? Is it okay to try to get pregnant naturally while continuing IVF? 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.
