Diet and Miscarriage Risk

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses a new article that evaluates diet types and the risk of miscarriage. As someone who has experiences miscarriage herself, Dr. Crawford understands the emotional toll it can take on you and the self-blame. She also understands the strong desire to do anything you can to help. You can't go back and change the past, but you can do your best to take charge of what you can.

Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake.

What kind of sedation do you give for egg retrieval? 

What prep should I do for the second transfer when the first transfer ended in miscarriage?

My fertility doctor just announced she’s pregnant, and I don’t want to see her. What should I do?

Do you recommend Omnitrope for egg quality?

Would you recommend a modified natural FET cycle in someone with a short luteal phase?
