Fertility medications, especially injectables come with two guarantees:

You will stare at the instructions like you’re cracking a secret code.

You’ll eventually realize you’re better at this than you thought.

If you want a little backup there are some simple step-by-step walk through of the most common medications on the Dallas IVF website. No guesswork, no panic Googling. Consider them your unofficial cheat codes for shot day.

You’ve got this. And if you don’t feel like you’ve got this yet, that’s what the videos are for.

One in ten babies is born preterm each year. As someone who helps families start this journey, that stat hits hard.

As a REI, I care about what happens long after the embryo transfer. Preterm birth is still a major cause of infant illness and loss, and some communities shoulder that risk far more than others. Awareness and access can change that. If you want to learn more or help, March of Dimes has solid resources.

Because the finish line is not just pregnancy. It is bringing home a healthy baby.

In fertility care, kindness is underrated medicine.

Sometimes in fertility care, it’s not the treatment plan that keeps you going, it’s the person who makes you laugh between appointments.

To my patients ⬇️
Be kind to yourself on the hard days.
Be kind to your partner when the stress shows up uninvited.
Be kind to your body, it’s doing more than you realize.

And if you’ve got extra kindness lying around, share it freely. It’s basically a vitamin at this point, and we could always use a dose. Today’s as good a day as any to remember that empathy heals too.

Fertility isn’t about perfection. It’s about patterns and science. And most of what your feed tells you to fixate on won’t make or break your outcome.

Here’s what you don’t need to lose sleep over ⬇️

❌The one iced coffee you had this morning
❌ Missing a yoga class (your uterus won’t notice)
❌Not eating pineapple core at precisely 11 a.m. post-transfer
❌Buying every supplement the algorithm suggests

Here’s what actually helps ⬇️
Sleep. Movement. Nourishing food. Lower stress. Science-backed care. Your fertility journey doesn’t need to be an Olympic event in control.

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is step away from the internet and give yourself a little grace.

I’m honored to be quoted in the recent article highlighting Ivy Fertility ’s innovative research at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine 2025 conference. In a field as rapidly evolving as fertility care, pushing the boundaries of science today gives families the hope of tomorrow.

Thank you to the Ivy team and colleagues who are dedicated to making meaningful advances in understanding and treating reproductive health. I’m grateful to walk this path of discovery and care alongside you, and ultimately help translate these breakthroughs into better outcomes for patients.

Most people see cycle length as a countdown clock for when a period shows up. But it’s more like the dashboard indicator lights in a car, one single number can tell me what might be happening under the hood.

Cycle length gives clues about:

✔️ If you’re ovulating consistently
✔️ How hormones are communicating
✔️ Ovarian reserve patterns
✔️ Thyroid and metabolic balance
✔️ (and potential clues to other conditions)

Short, long, or irregular cycles each tell a different story, and the story matters.

Q. What actually impacts s***m quality (and what definitely doesn’t)?

A. S***m myths are everywhere. Some are funny. Some are TikTok level questionable. S***m quality isn’t luck… it’s biology. And it’s influenced by way more everyday habits than the internet likes to admit.

Here’s the simple version:

What actually moves the needle:
• consistent sleep
• balanced nutrition (not perfection)
• regular movement
• stress that’s kept in check
• avoiding overheating (your laptop is NOT a lap sauna)

What usually doesn’t magically fix s***m:
• gimmicky underwear ads
• random supplement stacks with zero research or strategy
• eating one specific food like it’s a secret hack
• “manifesting it harder"

Think of s***m like tiny elite athletes. They need consistency, not chaos.

TL;DR: Small daily habits > internet hacks.

Infertility can be scary. The uncertainty, the waiting, the what-ifs, it’s a lot.

So this Halloween, forget the tricks. Go for the treat.

Whether that’s candy, comfort food, or a quiet moment to recharge, remember, moderation is key, but self-compassion counts more.

What’s the difference between PGT-A and PGT-M?

It’s a question I get a lot, and fair enough, the names sound like alphabet soup.

Here’s the short version:

PGT-A looks at embryos to make sure they have the right number of chromosomes, so we can spot issues like Down syndrome or other abnormalities.

PGT-M digs a little deeper, checking for specific inherited conditions like cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs when there’s a known genetic risk.

Both tests are about giving embryos the best shot at a healthy start. Let’s be honest, the names sound nearly identical. The good news? Their jobs aren’t, and knowing the difference matters.

If fertility treatment were a haunted house, I’ve seen every spooky corner, the meds, the waiting, the what-ifs.
I’d also be right there with you. Flashlight in hand, guiding through the jump scares and unexpected turns.

It’s spooky, it’s stressful, and it’s a lot.
But you? You’re brave. And you’re not in it alone.
