Here's the thing about endometriosis, it didn't get the memo about being predictable. One woman can have minimal tissue and maximum pain, while another can have significant disease and barely notice. Confusing? Yes. Your fault? Absolutely not. This is why we don't just look at one piece of the puzzle. Your body is telling a story, and we're here to actually listen to all of it, not just the loudest chapter.

Endometriosis Awareness Month, may be wrapping up, this is a topic that deserves more research, more public awareness, more listening.

Good medicine starts with good people ⬇️

Dr. Brian Barnett. Dr. Dara Havemann. Dr. Sara Mucowski. Dr. Shilpi Agrawala.

They are brilliant. Dedicated. The kind of doctors that make patients feel like the only person in the room even when the day is impossibly full. The ones who chose this work and choose it again every single day.

This is what Doctors Day is really about. These people right here. I am honored to call them my colleagues.

I'm putting this out there early, like, intentionally ahead of schedule, so there's plenty of time for everyone to run this through the 'don't do it' filter before April 1st arrives.

Fake pregnancy announcements, we're retiring that one. For good. Forever. Into the sun. For the millions of people quietly navigating infertility, that 'prank' isn't a gotcha moment, it's a gut punch. The kind that lingers way past April 1st.

The good news? There are approximately ONE MILLION better ways to be funny. Saran wrap on the toilet. Googly eyes in the fridge. The classic stuff with zero casualties. Let's keep the laughs loud and the hearts intact this year.

But sometimes, a fertilized egg takes a wrong turn and sets up camp somewhere it was never meant to be, most often in the fallopian tube. We call this an ectopic pregnancy, and while your body was doing everything it thought was right… this is one wrong turn that needs immediate attention.

And here's what I want you to hear, this is not your fault. Not even a little.

The physical toll is real. The emotional weight of losing a pregnancy under these circumstances is even heavier. It's grief and fear and confusion all wrapped into one moment, and that deserves to be acknowledged, not glossed over.

Okay real talk, PCOS doesn't just mess with your fertility. It's got a whole side hustle causing problems.

PCOS and Type 2 Diabetes? Same root cause. Insulin resistance is out here playing both fields, disrupting your hormones AND quietly raising your risk of diabetes by more than four times. FOUR TIMES. Before 40. For more than half of women with PCOS. (source CDC and AAFP)

The good news, and there IS good news, is that knowing this changes everything. Lifestyle, treatment, monitoring. It all starts with a conversation. Don't wait for symptoms to force your hand. Be proactive. Be loud about your health.

Chasing a diagnosis can feel a lot like chasing a rainbow, beautiful in theory, exhausting in reality, and somehow always just out of reach.

You follow one symptom, it leads to another, and before you know it you've seen several doctors and still have more questions than answers. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone in that.

This St. Patrick's Day, here's your reminder: the answers exist, the right support exists, and you deserve to find both. 🍀

Same diagnosis. Four very different realities. If you've ever felt like your symptoms don't quite match what you've been told, there's actually a reason for that. Here's something that doesn't get talked about enough: your stage doesn't determine how much you're allowed to hurt. Swipe through to understand what each stage actually means, because understanding your body is always the first step toward advocating for it.

Fertility is rarely one-variable math.

This is why it's important for both partners to be evaluated, since fertility is rarely a one-sided issue and science shows that looking at the full picture leads to better answers.

March is , which is a good time to talk about something that affects about 1 in 10 women and is found in up to 30–50% of women experiencing infertility (source: American Society for Reproductive Medicine | American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists - ACOG .

And yet, many people spend years trying to get a clear diagnosis. That part has always bothered me. Medical care shouldn’t feel like solving a mystery with no clues.

In this video, I walk through how endometriosis is actually diagnosed and what doctors are looking for along the way.

Because the more we talk about endometriosis, the faster we can move people from symptoms… to answers… to real support.

Surrogacy is one of the many ways families are built today, and sometimes the story ends up being pretty extraordinary.
Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu was born through gestational surrogacy to a single dad who knew he wanted to be a parent and pursued the path that made it possible.

That’s one of the things I love about reproductive medicine. It expands what family building can look like, and sometimes the teamwork behind it is truly gold medal level.

Surrogacy can help many people become parents, including individuals, couples facing infertility, same-sex couples, and those with medical conditions that make pregnancy unsafe. Even though we’re hearing more about it today, it’s still relatively rare. In the U.S., only about 2–3% of assisted reproductive technology cycles involve gestational carriers, according to the CDC.

Small percentage. Huge impact.

During Surrogacy Awareness Month, it’s worth recognizing the science, the generosity of gestational carriers, and the many ways families come to be.

Different paths. Same dream. Sometimes with a little Olympic-level teamwork from science.

New desk accessory unlocked: Superhero Fertility Specialist.

A patient gifted me this bobblehead with a cape, and I can’t tell you how much it made me smile.

Fertility journeys are not easy. They take courage, vulnerability, and resilience. To be trusted in that space is something I never take lightly. If I’m anyone’s superhero, it’s only because I get to stand alongside some incredibly strong people.

So, the real heroes? My patients. (But I’m keeping the cape.)
