Today we’re celebrating Thank a Fellow Day 🤍

Our Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility fellows have already completed four years of OB GYN training and are now pursuing advanced, specialized expertise in fertility care. They are deeply involved in patient care, from ultrasound monitoring to saline sonograms, intrauterine inseminations, and egg retrievals.

Behind every early morning monitoring appointment and every carefully timed procedure is a physician committed to mastering this field with focus and compassion.

At UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, our senior physicians are dedicated to training the next generation of exceptional fertility specialists. Academic rigor. Hands on experience. A shared mission to advance reproductive medicine.

If you have ever fallen down a late night PubMed or Google rabbit hole before your consult, this is for you.

Fertility care is full of bold claims and add ons. What matters is whether the data holds up.

At UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, our physicians design, publish, and apply research every day. We compiled our published studies into a public, living database so you can see the evidence behind your care.

Evidence first. Always.

Results from our Monday Mental Health Check-In 💙

The truth is…there isn’t one “right” way to feel during fertility treatment.

You can feel hopeful and exhausted in the same week. Motivated and completely tapped out on the same day. Or numb when everything feels like too much.

Wherever you are today, your feelings are completely valid. We see you and we’re here for all of it.

We understand how hard it is to wait for answers during fertility treatment.

Your provider’s response often requires chart review, lab analysis, coordination with multiple team members, and documentation. This ensures recommendations are accurate and specific to your care.

If something feels urgent, please call us. Portal messages are best for non-urgent concerns.

We are continuously working to improve communication and response times.

It’s International Prenatal Infection Prevention Month. For patients trying to conceive or currently pregnant, infection prevention is not extra. It’s part of treatment.

Some vaccines need to happen before pregnancy. Others are safe and recommended during pregnancy. Certain infections, like Zika and COVID-19, require planning and early communication with your care team.

If you’re starting fertility care, preparing for a cycle, or just beginning to think about pregnancy, now is a good time to review your immunity and ask questions.

When you’re ready, we’re here to help you plan safely.

Monitoring appointments can feel like a lot, especially early on.
Here’s a simple checklist to help you feel prepared before you arrive.

You don’t need to bring everything. If you forget something, your care team will help. This is just here to make mornings a little easier. 🤍

Monitoring visits can start to feel repetitive. Early mornings, familiar rooms, waiting for updates.

What isn’t always visible is what happens after you leave. Labs and ultrasounds are reviewed, results are discussed during daily rounding, and care teams work together to determine next steps.

Monitoring is not just about collecting numbers. Each visit adds information that helps guide care safely and thoughtfully.

We know waiting can be difficult. Your care team is reviewing results carefully and coordinating recommendations behind the scenes.

Today is National Women Physicians Day, celebrated on February 3 in honor of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell—the first woman to earn a medical degree in the U.S.

At UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, we’re proud to work alongside women physicians whose expertise, leadership, and advocacy continue to move reproductive medicine forward. We recognize their contributions, the barriers they’ve overcome, and the work still needed to achieve equity in medicine.

Thank you to the women physicians who care for patients, mentor future clinicians, and help shape a more just healthcare system. 💙

Early mornings. Waiting rooms. Familiar routines.

If fertility treatment feels repetitive sometimes, you’re not imagining it.

Monitoring visits often raise the same questions — especially during your first cycle.

These are some of the most common things patients ask about labs, ultrasounds, medications, and timing. While numbers and estimates can be helpful, they’re always interpreted in context, not on their own.

This post is meant for general education. Your care team is always the best resource for understanding what’s happening in your cycle.

Have a question you’ve wondered about during monitoring? You’re not the only one.
