I promise we say these things for a reason! 😂

During the two-week wait, it’s so tempting to take a pregnancy test early, but there are a few reasons we usually recommend waiting. Testing too soon can lead to a false negative, simply because it's too early to detect pregnancy. And if you had an hCG trigger shot as part of a natural cycle protocol, it can actually cause a false positive on a home test.

A blood test at the right time is much more accurate and gives clearer answers.

We know the wait is hard, but there's a reason we say it. 🤍

March is recognized as Endometriosis Awareness Month — an opportunity to increase understanding of a condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide.

Raising awareness helps promote earlier conversations, informed healthcare decisions, and improved patient support. By sharing education and real experiences, we can help reduce stigma and encourage individuals to seek professional medical guidance when symptoms arise.

This Women's History Month, I'm honoring Dr. Georgeanna Seegar Jones.

From discovering the role of hCG in pregnancy to bringing IVF to the United States (despite FIERCE political and cultural backlash), she refused to let doubt or resistance define what was possible 🙌

Regular cycles *suggest* you're ovulating, but they don't guarantee things like healthy egg quality, a receptive uterus, or balanced hormones 🧬

Many women with a consistent 28-day cycle face infertility.

Only proper testing can get to the bottom of what’s really going on 👩‍⚕️

Let’s talk about menopause! Yes…MENOPAUSE 🗣️

For the first time in history, menopause is a hot topic in healthcare.

In late 2025, the FDA removed the decades-old "black box" warning from menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The change follows updated scientific evidence and a more affirmed understanding of the treatment’s positive impact on women’s health 📈

More than 80% of women never seek care for menopause symptoms. You don't have to suffer through this transition alone.

Very interesting news!! The FDA has now approved self-swab testing for HPV 🎉

For years, some women with pelvic pain disorders have avoided in-person pap spears because they’re uncomfortable or even painful

Self-screening at home is a major step forward for women's healthcare, giving women more opportunity to stay on top of their cervical health 🧡

Folic acid is the backbone to a baby’s fetal development 🤰

Taking folic acid before and during early pregnancy helps the baby’s brain and spine develop normally and lowers the risk of serious birth defects like spina bifida.

2026 marks 100 years of celebrating Black History Month, so I wanted to make this one special and inform you of a woman’s story who is rarely told: Henrietta Lacks 💙

Henrietta Lacks’s story is profound both scientifically and culturally. While the discovery of her superhuman HeLa cells would go on to alter modern science as we know it (their role in the invention of IVF as one example), the root of the story cannot go without mentioning and reckoning: Henrietta’s cells were stolen from her.

The U.S. rolled out its new Dietary Guidelines, bringing back a form of the food pyramid with an updated twist.

Instead of grains forming the foundation, this version puts protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats front and center, part of a shift toward real, nutrient‑dense foods and away from ultra‑processed choices.

Key takeaways:

• Prioritize whole, quality proteins with every meal 🍗

• Fill your plate with vegetables + fruits 🥦🍎

• Choose healthy fats and whole foods 🥑

• Minimize processed foods + added sugars 🚫

• Whole grains still fit — but refined carbs are discouraged 📉
