Low Ovarian Reserve

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses the recent CNN article about how a single Chinese woman lost a court case against a hospital that refused to freeze her eggs. Later, she explains low ovarian reserve—what it is, how to test for it, the causes, and how to approach your fertility moving forward. Reproductive autonomy is important, and if you have a low ovarian reserve, Dr. Natalie Crawford encourages you to look at your reproductive goals differently because you should be in control of your future.   

Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Does a higher AMH level mean I have PCOS? Is there a difference in follicles produced with Clomid vs letrozole? Do hot tubs actually affect sperm quality?
