After 32 years of owning and operating my own practice, I’m entering a new chapter in my life and career journey. I am proud to share that I have partnered with , one of Canada’s leading fertility centres. As of today, CREATE has officially taken over the practice, and for the first time in many years, I am stepping into the role of an employee—a surreal and exciting new chapter in my career.

This transition has been both hard and rewarding. Over the years, fertility treatments have become more common, and I’ve had the privilege of witnessing women take control of their futures in extraordinary ways. It has been an honour to help so many families welcome bundles of joy into their lives.

To my incredible team and patients: thank you. You’ve given me inspiration and confidence, and I am grateful for the relationships we’ve built. Your wins have been my wins, and your losses have been my losses. The connection we share is what makes this work so meaningful.

I am thrilled to continue providing care and supporting patients on their fertility journeys at CREATE. My commitment to reproductive health remains as strong as ever, and I will still be practicing at the same location:

4025 Yonge St, Suite #215, North York, ON M2P 2E3

Warm regards,

Normal changes in the immune system during pregnancy can increase your risk of flu complications, which is why getting a flu shot is recommended. Pregnant women are more susceptible to severe flu-related issues, such as preterm labour and preterm birth. Additionally, the likelihood of hospitalization and the risk of death from the flu are higher for pregnant women compared to when they are not pregnant.

10/28/2024

All pregnant women should get a Tdap shot between 27 and 36 weeks of pregnancy, preferably early in that window. This vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect both you and your baby from serious illnesses caused by pertussis. The Tdap vaccine helps prevent three infections:

1. Tetanus
2. Diphtheria
3. Pertussis

Once our patients become pregnant, they start the next chapter of their family-growing journey, which often brings many new questions. Although our formal time together concludes once pregnancy is confirmed, we remain available to answer any lingering questions before the official farewell. One common topic that arises is vaccines.

This cold and flu season, we are launching a series on pregnancy and vaccines. Here are the top three reasons to get the RSV vaccine during pregnancy:

1️⃣ Protect Your Newborn: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can be dangerous for babies and young children. It is the most common reason for baby hospitalizations.
2️⃣ Early Immunity: Getting the RSV vaccine during pregnancy helps protect your newborn from RSV right after birth and for the first six months of life.
3️⃣ Safety: The RSV vaccine is safe for both you and your fetus.

Stay informed and take proactive steps to ensure the health of both you and your baby.

As the fall and winter months approach, many are planning vacations. Pregnant women should be informed about the potential risks of the Oropouche virus, which may lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes such as fetal death or congenital abnormalities. If you're considering travelling to areas with reported Oropouche virus activity, it's important to weigh the risks and take precautions to prevent insect bites.

At present, pregnant individuals are advised to reconsider non-essential travel to areas under a Level 2 Travel Health Notice for the Oropouche virus. If travel is necessary, strict measures to prevent insect bites should be followed. Consult with your healthcare provider to discuss your travel plans and how to stay safe.

Recently, The Globe and Mail explored work and fertility treatment in an article called “Fertility treatments and work: Should I tell my boss?” Deciding whether to inform your boss about undergoing fertility treatment is a personal choice, and everyone's situation is unique. Here are some key points to consider:

1️⃣ Assess the Work Environment: Gauge whether your new job has a supportive culture before deciding to disclose your treatment.
2️⃣ Start with Minimal Disclosure: You might begin by mentioning you're receiving medical treatment, then share more details as you feel comfortable.
3️⃣ Know What You Need: Be clear about whether you need emotional support, flexible hours, or other accommodations.
4️⃣ Evaluate the Response: If you don't feel supported after disclosing, check with HR about relevant policies. If support remains lacking, it might indicate the workplace isn't the right fit for you.

Marisse Scott, a pioneering nurse and activist from Owen Sound, Ontario, embodies the fight for racial equality in Canada.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a crucial observance for all Canadians, dedicated to reflecting on the profound impact of the residential school system. This day serves as a solemn reminder of the history and legacy of these institutions, which caused immense suffering to Indigenous children and their families. It is a time to honour the resilience, dignity, and strength of survivors and to remember those who never returned home.

This day also acknowledges the ongoing effects of residential schools on Indigenous communities, reinforcing the importance of reconciliation. The commemoration helps us recognize the deep cultural and emotional scars left by the system and supports efforts to address these wounds. By participating in this day, we pay respect to the painful experiences of survivors and work towards healing and understanding. The observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, including initiatives like Orange Shirt Day, underscores our collective responsibility to embrace the principle that “Every Child Matters” and supports the journey towards genuine reconciliation.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we unite in remembrance and hope, honouring the strength of survivors and committing to a future where every child’s dignity and culture are celebrated and protected.

Stress is a common challenge for many couples, and while it’s true that infertility can be a source of stress, it’s unlikely that stress itself is a direct cause of infertility. High stress levels can sometimes make it more difficult for couples to focus on conception, but scientifically, the connection between stress and infertility isn’t fully understood. It’s important to remember that telling someone to “just relax and it will happen” is not only unhelpful but also dismissive of the complex emotional journey they’re on.
