Ten Things Fertility Patients Should Stop Doing
The Egg Whisperer Show
As a fertility doctor, I help my patients create the family they want, or preserve their fertility for whatever the future may hold. Part of why I love what I do is that I get to understand the whole person that I treat. Not just their body, but their emotional well-being too. We can’t look at humans with tunnel vision. Nor can we look at fertility that way either. The act of going through fertility treatment is as emotional as it is physical. Today on the podcast, I’m sharing the ten things to STOP doing if you’re a fertility patient. Would you like to learn more about IVF? The...

Today, Dr. Kristin Brogaard is joining me today to talk about the Path Fertility SpermQT test.
