He will always be my favorite teacher💕. He is the most brilliant physician I know and has taught me so much, especially about hormones…so grateful to be able to help so many because of all I have learned from him!

A note from the reproductive hormonal side. Long-acting contraceptives, represented primarily by depo-prover, mirena or skyla IUD, and the nexplanon skin implant, all represent progesterone only contraceptives. While highly effective at preventing pregnancy, all these agents suppress estrogen which is a bad thing. From puberty to age 30 women are adding bone to maximize to normal bone density. Lack of estrogen is detrimental to this process. We are seeing in our practice, if one has the genetic predisposition for Insulin Resistance, low estrogen will accelerate chronic disease including rapid weight gain. We also see low estrogen causing brain dysfunction including attention deficit, memory, anxiety, depression, migraine headaches, mood changes, night sweats and sleep disturbance etc., all of which are not good for the teen who is in school trying to learn. In our experience, birth control pills cause a similar phenomenon in many patients. It is our suggestion that we should be supplementing estrogen for women on these methods of birth control to avoid these side effects.

If you think/know you have endometriosis and are struggeling with infertility, ❤️ read this story. There is no better testimony. I have seen so many patients in my career who had all but given up, many who were scheduled for hysterectomies because they thought they had no other alternative, only to have spontaneous pregnancies once they had the right surgery with the right team! JCRM/ARS - truly making miracles happen!

Please tell Dr. Fox Thank you again for me. I call him my hero. I recommend him to anyone who struggles with infertility, endometriosis and pcos. Looking at my pictures you see part of our story. We got married and concieved our oldest daughter the very next month. A true miracle. Then heartache for 10 very long years. The struggle with infertility is like nothing else.
One night as I laid in bed in pain not satisfied with the diagnosis of IBS, I Google my symptoms. (Infertility, ibs, severe cramps, hip pain, pain with intimacy. And then Endometriosis popped up. I scheduled ablation with my ob. 2 days before surgery I found Nancy’s nook fb page, I learned that excision was gold standard. I cancelled my ablation appointment. I met with a nook doc in Atlanta and then with Dr. Fox. Ultimately we went with Dr. Fox. He removed stage 2/3 endometriosis, did a presacral nerectomy and had another surgeon repair my inguinal hernias.2 years later, 1 of which my husband was deployed I then concieved my miracle baby at age 38. That baby is now a spunky little redhead who is about to turn 3. Then we recieved one more blessing I concieved at age 40 and she just turned 3 weeks. Thank you for making my dreams come true!
