Doing IVF? Don’t Skip This Before Embryo Transfer (Hysteroscopy Explained)

If you're going through IVF, you’ve invested time, money, energy, and emotion into your embryos.
Before embryo transfer, it’s critical that the uterus is fully optimized for implantation.

In this video, I'll explain:

✔️ What a hysteroscopy is
✔️ How it differs from a saline sonogram
✔️ Why small scar tissue or polyps can be missed
✔️ Why direct visualization can improve uterine readiness
✔️ When IVF patients should consider hysteroscopy

💡 A hysteroscopy is a quick procedure (about 15 minutes) where a small camera is placed inside the uterus to directly examine and treat abnormalities like:
• Scar tissue (Asherman’s syndrome)
• Polyps
• Subtle cavity irregularities

Even when a saline sonogram looks “mostly normal,” hysteroscopy may reveal findings that could affect implantation.

If there’s any doubt about the uterine cavity before embryo transfer, it’s reasonable to ask whether hysteroscopy is appropriate for you.

You Found Me for a Reason 🧡🧡🧡

Women usually find me when they’re ready for answers and advocacy.

You deserve clarity, not confusion.
You deserve answers, not assumptions.
You deserve car, not rushed appointments.

If you’re experiencing fibroid symptoms, heavy bleeding, pain, or fertility concerns, a consultation can help you understand what’s happening and what your options are.
---------------------------------------------------------------
📅 Schedule your consultation. Clarity is the first step toward relief.

Trying to figure out when you’re ovulating—but still confused? 😵‍💫

If you have regular cycles, ovulation usually happens right in the middle—or about two weeks before your period. But cycles aren’t always textbook.

From tracking basal body temperature to using ovulation predictor kits, there are reliable ways to understand your body and timing—especially if your periods are irregular or you have PCOS.

Taking the time to truly listen is one of the most important parts of care. Before exams, before plans, before decisions — there should always be space for conversation, questions, and being fully heard.

I never want patients to feel rushed, dismissed, or minimized. Your symptoms matter. Your experiences matter. And thoughtful care starts with listening first.

I’m deeply grateful for the trust my patients place in me, and it’s an honor to walk alongside them with compassion, respect, and intention.

I was skeptical about GLP-1s in menopause care—until the data (and my patients) changed my mind.

Menopause changes metabolism at its core. For the right women, GLP-1s can support insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and cardiometabolic health—not just weight.

Curious if this approach might be right for you?

💬 DM “MENOPAUSE” to learn more about personalized metabolic care.

Think a hysterectomy automatically means PMS disappears forever? 😳

This is one of the most common questions I get in the office—and the answer surprises a lot of people. Even after a hysterectomy, your body may still go through monthly hormonal changes depending on what’s left behind. Understanding why can make a big difference in setting the right expectations before surgery.

👉 Save this post and talk with your gynecologist about what symptoms you might still experience after a hysterectomy—knowledge is power.
