May is Women’s Health Month, and honestly, women deserve better health conversations.

Fertility is part of overall health, not some separate side quest. Your cycle, ovulation, hormones, endometriosis, and reproductive health all tell us important things about what’s happening in the body.

Too many women spend years being dismissed, told painful symptoms are “normal,” or left Googling answers at 2 a.m. That needs to change.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, thinking about the future, or just learning more about your body, asking questions is a good thing. Early conversations and better education matter.

Your health deserves attention long before there’s a problem to solve.

Excited to share that new episodes of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine Today podcast have officially dropped and I’m thrilled to join this season as co-host alongside Jeffrey Hayes.

If you haven't already checked it out, we’ll be talking reproductive medicine, IVF, fertility research, LGBTQ family-building, patient advocacy, and the science shaping modern family-building. Think of it as your weekly fertility sound check. Real conversations, smart science, and the topics people are actually asking about right now.

Grateful to be part of it and excited for what’s ahead this season.

After a full day in the clinic, I keep it simple, and yes, a little predictable.

My go-to? 🍣

Fresh, clean, and exactly what I need after a long day of helping others navigate theirs.

Now I’m curious… what’s your comfort meal after a long day?

No, it's not Ku: The Movie (though I like the sound of that).

It's my Zocdoc rating, and I'm feeling grateful for the kind words patients have shared about their experience with me.
If you're in the Dallas area and looking for fertility answers or support while TTC, here's what some of my patients are saying:

It's International Nurses Day, and I couldn't think of a better moment to spotlight the amazing nurses at Dallas IVF clinic. 🎥

In this video, I'll introduce you to the heartbeat of Dallas IVF: our incredible nursing team, who bring compassion, care, and a whole lot of hustle to every patient's journey.
Without them, this place just wouldn't run (and neither would I).

Holidays like can bring up a lot of emotions.

For many, it’s a joyful day. For others, it can feel complicated, painful, or quietly heavy.

It’s important to remember that 1 in 8 people experience infertility, and 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. The chances are high that someone in your life is carrying this, whether you know it or not.

If someone steps back from celebrations today, try not to take it personally. They may simply be taking care of themselves in a way that they need.

A little empathy can go a long way.

To those navigating infertility, trying to conceive, or in the middle of treatment... I see you.

My wife and I have been there. We understand how difficult this journey can be, and you are not alone in it.

Today and every day, I remain committed to helping patients move closer to building the families they dream of.

Thinking of you today.

There are fertility conferences… and then there’s MRSi. 🌸

I’m incredibly excited to be attending the Midwest Reproductive Symposium International this July in Chicago. MRSi continues to bring together some of the brightest minds in reproductive medicine to collaborate, challenge ideas, share research, and advance the future of IVF.

This year feels especially meaningful as I serve as Vice President/President-Elect, and I’m looking forward to helping shape conversations around where our field is headed next.

The 2026 theme, “In Full Bloom: The Future of IVF,” couldn’t be more fitting.

📍 Chicago
📍 July 26–29, 2026

Looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues, learning from leaders in the field, and continuing to advocate for innovation and patient care in reproductive medicine.

See you at Midwest Reproductive Symposium international .

🚨 Gentle reminder: Mother’s Day weekend is coming. 🚨

And if you’re navigating infertility, this weekend can feel… complicated.

What’s a celebration for some can land very differently for others. The posts, the brunch photos, the “best job in the world” captions; it can all feel like a lot when your heart is somewhere else.

If that’s you, you’re not alone. And you’re not wrong for feeling whatever you’re feeling.

So here’s your permission slip:

Log off.
Opt out.
Protect your peace.

Make a plan that’s just for you... something small, something comforting, something that reminds you that your life is still full of moments worth holding onto. A walk, a coffee, a quiet escape, a little treat you don’t have to share with anyone.

Let the day be what it needs to be, not what it’s “supposed” to be.

We see you. We’re holding space for you. And we’re right there with you. 💛

"Today is International Day of the Midwife, and it’s a moment to pause and recognize something we cannot ignore:

The world is facing a critical shortage of nearly one million midwives.

That’s not just a statistic.
That’s millions of women without access to essential, life-saving care.

Midwives are at the heart of reproductive health, supporting patients through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. When access to this care is limited, outcomes suffer, and disparities widen.

This year’s call, One Million More Midwives, is a global reminder that change isn’t optional. It’s urgent.

If we want better outcomes, better access, and more equitable care, we need to invest in the people who make it possible.

Let’s raise awareness. Let’s support the workforce. Let’s be part of the solution.

"

I find your lack of hope… disturbing. (Just kidding. We don’t do that here.)

Happy . Yes, there’s a Darth Vader mask involved, but behind it is a very real message: The fertility journey can feel like the Dark Side some days... uncertain, overwhelming, and not exactly what you signed up for.

But here’s what I see every day:
Strength.
Resilience.
People who keep showing up, even when it’s hard.

That’s not the Dark Side. That’s the Force.

If you’re navigating infertility, you’re not alone in this galaxy. Keep asking questions. Keep advocating for yourself. Keep going. Trust the science. Trust your team. And maybe… keep a lightsaber nearby, just in case.

May the 4th be with you (and may the Ku be with you!)
