When To Have Kids

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses planning your family and when to have kids. She tells you her story of becoming a parent and what that looked like in medical training. Natalie also shares what she wishes she would’ve prioritized when it comes to health before trying to get pregnant.

Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake.What is your advice for recovering from a miscarriage, specifically a blighted ovum? How often do you see Ashermann’s syndrome after a pregnancy ending in D&C? How do you deal with an azoospermia diagnosis? How many rounds of Letrozole should I do before moving on to a different treatment while TTC with PCOS? Do you use Clomid or Letrozole days 5-9 even if your periods are irregular?
