Summary

Dr. Natalie Crawford MD discusses OHSS or ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome including risks, warning signs, and how it’s treated. OHSS is a complication that can happen any time you stimulate the ovaries. Many decisions during fertility treatments are made based off the risk of OHSS as the symptoms can become severe. 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. Can you transfer embryos from one clinic to another? Will my cycle return to normal after a miscarriage? Do you definitely ovulate if you see an LH surge or temperature increase? When can I do another embryo transfer after having a baby through IVF? What is the best approach to IVF with a low ovarian reserve? 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.
