When Is It Time To Do IVF?

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses why and when it may be time to do IVF. IVF allows us to profoundly change your body and it’s environment. It’s important to remember that the two things that predict IVF success are your ovarian reserve or number of eggs and your age. So timing plays a key role in this decision and it also comes down to why you are in this position. Natalie answers your questions in FFS-For Fertility's Sake I’m doing IVF and my body is not responding to the medications to stop me from ovulating. Is this common or normal? We are doing IVF to avoid passing on a genetic disease. We’re not ready to start yet, but when should we start? We want four kids. Do I need an HSG after having an ectopic pregnancy treated with methotrexate? We have moved Fertility In The News to the weekly newsletter in order to keep the podcast more evergreen.
