Embryo transfer day is a big moment for everyone and full of mixed emotions: excitement, anxiety, and questions about the future. Not all my patients are successful after their first attempt. Today was a big celebration for some who have been trying for quite a while. I’m thinking about all of my other patients who are still on their journey and worrying about their future. Just know that persistence pays off, so hang in there! 💕 #Fertility #embryotransfer #ttc

🔥 Had a little article drop in print last month. This one was a collaboration with @progynyinc and published as a research letter - a newer format in @fertilitysterility designed for reporting on more focused scientific findings.

👯‍♀️ While twins are cute, our goal with fertility treatment is one healthy pregnancy and baby at a time. Multiple gestation pregnancies have risk for both the baby and the person carrying the pregnancy.

👩‍🔬We looked at how implementation of a reproductive medicine expert advisory board could aid in ensuring high risk practices, like multiple embryo transfers and gonadotropin IUI cycles, were being performed in line with ASRM guidelines.

📉 We found that when ASRM guidelines were followed, pregnancy rates remained high, and multiple gestation pregnancy rates significantly dropped.

📊 In the patients that did proceed with multiple embryo transfer, the multiple gestation pregnancy rate was 13.2% - highly concerning in this era of IVF technology. This rate was in comparison to those that switched to the recommended single embryo transfer - where multiple gestation pregnancy was <1%. These two groups had no significant difference in clinical pregnancy rates - which means that multiple embryo transfer didn’t improve the chance of pregnancy, it just increased the chance of multiples and path to a high risk pregnancy.

✅ Some higher risk practices may have a role in our treatment plans, but improved patient selection for these practices can help limit the risk.

⚖️ We are always balancing decisions to give you the highest chance of success in treatment, while also keeping you safe. An expert medical advisory board that provides evidence based support can help achieve that.

👏 Thank you to the Progyny team, shout out to @drjanetchoi @dr.alan.copperman @joseph.adam.lee @rmaofny and all the collaborators who helped.

👨‍⚕️🍽️ DOCTOR’S ORDERS: A Prescription for Sunday Dinner!

After years of helping patients grow their families, I’m adjusting to a new chapter in my own family life… being an empty nester!

With both kids now off at college, my wife and I suddenly have a little more time on our hands. And I’ve decided to put some of that time to good use—back in the kitchen!

I’ve always been a foodie and used to love cooking, but somewhere between raising two kids, work, and everyday life, my culinary adventures took a back seat.

Well, the chef is officially back! 👨‍🍳

Welcome to Doctor’s Orders, my new Sunday cooking series, where I’ll be trading my white coat for an apron and sharing what I’m whipping up each weekend.

The inspiration? Often Ina Garten (we’re big fans in our house!). The menu? A new recipe on most Sundays, usually a main course, a side dish, occasionally dessert, and always a signature cocktail for my wife. 🍸 After all, happy wife, happy life!

But there’s also a little more to this series than just good food.

As a fertility doctor, I know how stressful and emotionally demanding the fertility journey can be. One thing I often remind my patients is the importance of making time for themselves and finding activities that bring them joy, connection, and a little relief from the stresses of everyday life.

For me, cooking has become one of those outlets. It’s a chance to slow down, get creative, enjoy some great food, and spend quality time with my wife.

So every Sunday, I’ll be sharing what’s on the menu, the recipes I’m trying, and maybe even a few kitchen disasters. (Let’s hope Ina would approve!)

Consider this your weekly prescription for a little Sunday inspiration.

Doctor’s orders: Make time for the things you love. ❤️

Now, who’s hungry?

It took a village. Three women built one. 🩷

In 2020 I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer before I’d had the chance to become a mom. Treatment meant IVF, one embryo, and the news I’d need a surrogate — at a cost of $150,000, with none of the financial support oncology patients deserve.

So two other survivors, Victoria Raphael and Ann Palmer, and I googled how to start a nonprofit, filled the chip dip at our own fundraisers, and bootstrapped A Chance For Life from nothing.

My son, Chance, arrived in December 2023 — months after we awarded our first grant.

This summer, our first grant recipients, Rusty and Christina, welcomed their daughter Stella after a two-year wait for the right surrogate. Every dollar donated helped make that happen.

We were three women who turned pain into purpose. And we won’t rest until every woman gets her Chance.

Fertility struggles can be incredibly lonely because so much of the battle is invisible. You are expected to keep showing up to your life while simultaneously living through something that can consume so much of your physical and emotional energy.

As fertility doctors, nurses, embryologists and care teams, we get a window into that hidden world❤️‍🩹

We see you before the rest of the world wakes up.

We see the nerves before a retrieval.

We see the hope before a transfer.

We hear the tremble in your voice when you pick up the phone.

We celebrate numbers that might mean absolutely nothing to anyone else, and understand exactly why they mean everything to you.

And sometimes, we sit beside you when the news isn’t what any of us hoped it would be.

There is so much science behind what we do. Hormones. Ultrasounds. Microscopes. Procedures. Embryology. Genetics.

But fertility medicine is also deeply human.

Behind every tube of blood, every follicle measured, every egg retrieved and every embryo carefully watched in our lab is a person who has trusted us with something incredibly precious:

their hope.

I will never take for granted the privilege of being allowed into that space.

And to anyone currently living in this strange in-between..between appointments, between cycles, between phone calls, between hope and heartbreak,

I see you.

Please give yourself credit for everything you are carrying while continuing to show up for your life.

You don’t have to be endlessly positive.
You don’t have to pretend this isn’t hard.
And you don’t have to have your entire path figured out today.

Sometimes courage looks much less dramatic than we imagine.

Sometimes it is simply setting the alarm, walking back through those clinic doors, rolling up your sleeve, taking the next injection, answering the next phone call—and finding a way to keep going.

Wherever you are in this journey, I hope you know there are people standing beside you who are hoping with you, hurting with you, rooting for you, and holding space for you through every version of what comes next.

Sending so much love to everyone in the trenches right now 💜❤️‍🩹

Apparently TikToks are part of the job description now… who knew!? 💃😂

But in all seriousness, social media has changed the way we’re able to educate, connect, and have important conversations about fertility. And if a little dancing helps make fertility information feel more approachable and a lot less intimidating, I guess we’re dancing now.

Have a fertility question you’ve been wanting to ask? Drop it in the comments or send me a DM! I’ll be answering as many of your questions as I can in my next post.
