FERTILITY Q&A: Ovulation, Recurrent Loss, IUI, PMOS, and More
About this episode
Dr. Natalie Crawford addresses common fertility questions including ovulation tracking, recurrent loss, and fertility evaluations.
When your cycles are regular, your ultrasound looks normal, or you have been pregnant before, how do you know when it is time to look deeper? Fertility testing does not always give you the whole picture. An LH surge is not the same as the day you ovulate, a normal ultrasound cannot rule out every uterine issue, and previous pregnancies do not protect you from secondary infertility or recurrent loss. In this Fertility Q&A, Dr. Natalie Crawford answers your questions about ovulation tracking, recurrent chemical pregnancies, PMOS (formerly PCOS), low sperm motility, failed embryo transfers, Hashimoto’s, unexplained infertility, IUI, and when to pursue a more complete fertility evaluation.
