The injections, the appointments, the waiting, I see how hard you're working, and I need you to hear this:
Say no to doom scrolling. Step away from the symptom spiraling. You've earned two days of not thinking about follicle counts. And sometimes you just need a reminder that it's okay to put it down for a couple of days.

For now, rest. Eat the thing. You're doing better than you think.

To me, something far greater than a medical outcome. It delivered my family.

After loss and struggle, IVF is what made me a dad, and that changes everything about how I show up as a physician. When you've lived it, you carry it with you into every conversation, every consultation, every patient who's sitting exactly where you once sat.

But more than anything, IVF delivered hope. Not the hollow kind people offer when they don't know what else to say. The real kind. The kind backed by science, so it isn't blind, it's grounded. And it's a reminder that medicine, at its best, is deeply human. I'm proud to be part of the campaign with and do this work every day at

I see (and answer) similar questions every day, in clinic, in DMs, and yes, I know what people are Googling at 2 a.m. No judgment. I respect the dedication.

Think of fertility like a team sport. You wouldn't send half your players onto the field and then wonder why you're not scoring any goals. That's exactly what happens when only one partner gets investigated. Everyone plays a role. So let's talk strategy. Swipe through for straight talk on:

→ Does fertility decline with age, or is that just scare tactics? (It's real. But not a cliff edge.)
→ Is infertility a "women's issue"? (Hard no, the data is VERY clear.)
→ Why is my period late? (Your body has options before "pregnant" enters the chat.)
→ When should you actually see a specialist? (Sooner than you think.)

Here's the one thing I want you to remember: male factors contribute to roughly 1 in 3 infertility cases. You can't win the game with half a team on the bench. Both partners. Always. Tried for 12 months under 35, or 6 months over 35? That's not giving up early, that's calling in the right coach at the right time. Knowledge doesn't cost you anything. Waiting might.

POV: realizing health class skipped a few key parts that matter

"Fertility isn't guaranteed." they didn't say it. "Periods are a vital sign." didn't say that either. "Infertility is common & not your fault." silence.

*deep breath*

This is fine. We'll just start now. Hi, hello...I'm Dr. Ku. pull up a chair.

Real talk. When most people hear "bicornuate uterus," their first reaction is wait, my what?

What makes it unique is that it's shaped a little like a heart, which is honestly kind of poetic for something that plays such a big role in reproductive health.

Here, I'm breaking it all down what it actually means, how it happens during development, and what life looks like if you or someone you love has one. No medical jargon avalanche, I promise.

Whether you stumbled across the term mid-Google spiral or just got a diagnosis and have approximately 1,000 questions , you're in the right place. Knowledge is the antidote to anxiety, and we're taking this one together.

Galentine’s Day is for the friends who hype you up, split the fries, and tell you the truth when you need it.

It’s also for the conversations we don’t always have out loud. Like fertility. Like future plans. Like keeping your options open. Iconic thoughtfulness.

More women are choosing to freeze their eggs, not because they’re “waiting,” but because they want flexibility and options. Research shows elective egg freezing has increased dramatically over the last decade.

Egg freezing isn’t a plan A or plan B. It’s more like giving Future You a little backup. Just in case. So this Galentine’s, support your friends through the tough stuff. Have the real conversations. Ask the questions. Advocate for your health. That’s not dramatic. That’s informed.

The best Galentine's don’t just toast your present. They support your future too.

Black History Month is a time to celebrate brilliance, resilience, and contributions that have shaped our communities and our country. It’s also a time to talk honestly about the work that still needs to be done.

In reproductive health, disparities are real. Women of color experience higher rates of miscarriage, stillbirth, and pregnancy-related complications. These are not random statistics. They reflect gaps in access, systemic inequities, and differences in how care is delivered and received.

That’s not just heartbreaking. It’s unacceptable.

Fertility care should not depend on zip code, income, or race. Everyone deserves thoughtful, evidence-based, compassionate care when building their family.

As a physician, part of my responsibility is listening, advocating, and making sure every patient feels seen, heard, and supported. This month and every month, the goal is simple. Better access. Better outcomes. Better equity in reproductive care.

Because building a family should come with support, not barriers.

I’m proud to share the launch of MRSI Talks ART, the official podcast of Midwest Reproductive Symposium international (MRSi).

As a Board Member of MRSi, it’s exciting to support a new platform that brings thoughtful, evidence-based conversations in Assisted Reproductive Technology to the forefront.

The podcast highlights respected voices in reproductive medicine and explores the research and clinical insights shaping fertility care today.

Just found out I was named a Mom-Approved Women’s Healthcare Provider by DFWChild Magazine. This one came straight from patient nominations.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Dallas moms, this isn’t a casual approval. This is research, spreadsheets, group texts, and multiple opinions deep. Basically, they Texas-sized verify.

So yes, I’m honored. And a little relieved I passed the test.

Thank you, Dallas.

“Cancer won’t wait. Neither should we.”

Today is World Cancer Day, and that message matters. A cancer diagnosis turns life upside down, and in the rush for treatment, conversations about the future can get lost.

One of those conversations is fertility preservation.

Cancer treatments can impact reproductive health, but for many patients, there are ways to protect future family-building before treatment begins. That only happens when the question is asked early and when providers advocate for both a patient’s health and their future.

If you or someone you love is facing cancer and wondering about fertility, know this. You’re not being dramatic. You’re being proactive. And you’re not alone.

I’m grateful for organizations pushing this work forward, including World Cancer Day , The Chick Mission , Alliance for Fertility Preservation , LIVESTRONG , Expect Miracles Foundation , and Baby Quest Foundation, Inc.

Today is about strength, resilience, and choice. And making sure patients get the information they deserve, now and for the future.

Quality and timing matter.

People can sometimes fixate on embryo numbers, but more isn’t always better. One embryo can lead to a healthy pregnancy, and higher numbers don’t guarantee outcomes. Fertility isn’t a math problem. Context, quality, and timing matter far more than comparison.

One good embryo can game change everything.
