I recently spent some time in the Smoky Mountains, and it did what nature tends to do best. It slowed me down and made me think.
Nature is unruly. It doesn’t follow a neat plan. It’s beautiful, unpredictable, and a little messy. Things grow on their own timelines. Weather changes without warning. Paths aren’t always straight, but they still lead somewhere meaningful.
It reminded me a lot of this journey so many of my patients are on. Fertility isn’t linear. It’s full of uncertainty, pauses, and unexpected turns. And that doesn’t mean anything is wrong. It just means you’re moving through something real.
Sometimes progress looks quiet. Sometimes it looks slow. Sometimes it’s happening under the surface, even when you can’t see it yet.
As we look ahead, I’m holding onto that perspective and looking toward a very fertile 2026. Rooted in patience, grounded in science, and open to possibility.
Here’s to growth, even when the path isn’t perfectly clear.
