Summary

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers what you should do with your embryos if you no longer need them. She goes over embryo storage, your options, and how abortion laws impact your embryos and IVF. All clinics have different contracts when it comes to embryo storage and what they do with them if you forget to make your payment. If you are doing IVF or did IVF in the past and have embryos left, this episode is for you. 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. Is it possible to have a healthy pregnancy after an Asherman’s diagnosis? Anything I should do differently to get pregnant after a miscarriage? Can a cervical polyp cause infertility or miscarriage? What are your thoughts on melatonin while TTC?
