Summary

Dr. Natalie Crawford explains minimal stimulation IVF also known as mini stim IVF or “natural” IVF. When does it make sense to do minimal stimulation IVF? It’s important to understand your options and what is best for you when it comes to your goals and how you want to get there. She also warns you about the marketing tactics you may see and why many of them are making false claims. We have decided to move Fertility In The News to the weekly newsletter in order to keep the podcast more evergreen. If you want to sign up go to nataliecrawfordmd.com/newsletter to sign up! Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. I am diagnosed with DOR and my estrogen levels are low- how can I increase my estrogen?
