Dr. Natalie Crawford chats about what you need to know before you get pregnant or try to conceive, including why you should go to your OBGYN for a pre-conception consultation, what tests you should have done, warning signs from your body, and more. You don’t know what you don’t know, so it’s important to understand your body and how it might affect your chances of getting pregnant. In this week’s Fertility in the News, Natalie discusses actress Hilary Swank’s twin pregnancy at the age of 48 and the likelihood of women her age getting pregnant naturally with twins. Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Why would my doctor prescribe a round of birth control before an IVF egg retrieval? Why isn’t letrozole working for unexplained fertility? What are the correct next steps after a failed FET?
