You are more than your infertility. 💙

12/10/2025

Some fertility myths can feel overwhelming - and I’ve heard them all.

When I was going through my own fertility journey, I remember how confusing it was to sort through advice, acronyms, and emotions. Even as a doctor, it was hard to know what was fact and what was folklore. So let’s clear a few things up:

1️⃣ Myth: You need to lie with your legs in the air after s*x to get pregnant.

Nope! S***m are excellent swimmers. Lying with your legs up might feel like you’re helping, but it doesn’t increase your chances of conception.

2️⃣ Myth: Stress is the reason you’re not getting pregnant.

Stress can affect your overall health, but it’s rarely the sole cause of infertility. Before making big life changes, it’s important to get a full fertility workup to understand what’s really going on.

3️⃣ Myth: Infertility is only a female issue.

Not true! Male factor infertility plays a role in about 30% of cases. If you’re trying to conceive with a male partner, both of you should be part of the evaluation from the start.

There’s a lot of misinformation out there - but you deserve real answers. Let’s replace myths with science and uncertainty with clarity. 🧬

You’re not alone on this journey, and you don’t have to navigate it in the dark.

When I first started my fertility journey, I wished there was a shortcut - something to make it all easier: the acronyms, the emotions, the decisions.

What I’ve learned, both personally and professionally, is that real hope doesn’t come from quick fixes. It comes from science.

At STL Fertility, we don’t rely on luck or guesswork. We rely on data, diagnostics, and decades of research to guide every step of your care. From hormone levels to genetic testing, we use evidence to personalize your treatment and help you move forward with confidence.

Let’s trade uncertainty for clarity and walk this path together. 🩵

Namaste, and Happy Diwali! 🪔✨

This weekend, I had the honor of speaking at a Diwali celebration in St. Louis. It was a beautiful night filled with light, love, and community.

As we welcomed Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings of prosperity and fertility, I was reminded of the deep connection between this festival and the work we do at STL Fertility. Each day, we help individuals and couples turn hope into creation, nurturing new beginnings with compassion and care.

May the glow of Diwali remind us all that even the smallest spark can lead to life’s brightest light. Wishing you and your families abundance, joy, and new beginnings.

Happy Diwali from all of us at STL Fertility! 💛🪔

This year, I celebrated my birthday in Paris - a city full of beauty, history, and little bit of magic. ✨

While the Eiffel Tower was stunning, one of my favorite moments was bringing a little piece of STL Fertility with me… in the form of a printed photo of our amazing Nurse Practitioner, Mel. 💕

Even across the ocean, I’m reminded of the incredible team I get to work with every day
and the patients we’re honored to support.

Merci, Paris and thank you to everyone who made this birthday so special. Here’s to joy, gratitude, and a little travel-inspired perspective. 🥂

What happens to unused embryos after IVF?

It’s a question many patients don’t expect to face, but one that becomes very real once your family feels complete and embryos remain in storage.

The truth is: there’s no one “right” answer. But there are options.

Unused embryos can be:
👉 Stored for future use (sometimes for years)
👉 Donated to another individual or couple hoping to build a family
👉 Donated to scientific research to help advance fertility care
👉 Respectfully discarded, depending on personal, ethical, or religious beliefs

These decisions are deeply personal and often emotional. That’s why we talk about them early in the IVF process, so you have time to consider what feels right for you.
Yet another option is to limit the number of eggs being fertilized from the beginning so as to limit the number of potential embryos being frozen. Additional unfertilized eggs, not embryos, can then be frozen for future use.

Embryos represent hope, effort, and possibility. Whatever you choose, it should reflect your values, your journey, and your vision for the future.

If you’re still waiting this summer -- waiting for answers, for a cycle to start, for a positive, I want you to know this: waiting is not wasted time.

In fertility care, so much happens behind the scenes. Your body is recalibrating. Your care team is reviewing every detail. And your story is still unfolding, even if it feels like everything is standing still.

It’s okay to feel frustrated. It’s okay to feel tired. But please don’t mistake this pause for a lack of progress. Sometimes, the most important shifts are the ones we can’t see yet.

You are not behind. You are not forgotten. You are doing something incredibly brave by continuing to hope.

And when you’re ready to take the next step, the team at and I will be right here. 🩵

Planning an end-of-summer getaway while navigating fertility treatment? It’s absolutely doable... with a little extra prep. 😉

Whether you’re mid-cycle, starting meds, or waiting on test results, travel can add a layer of complexity. But it doesn’t have to derail your progress.

Here are a few things I talk through with patients before they hit the road:
✈ Timing is everything. If you’re doing monitoring or lab work, we’ll help you plan around key dates or coordinate care if you’ll be away.
✈ Medication management matters. Some fertility meds require refrigeration or specific timing. Pack a cooler bag, bring extra supplies, and always carry meds in your carry-on.
✈ Stay in touch. Keep your care team in the loop about your travel plans so we can adjust protocols if needed.

Fertility care doesn’t stop for summer, but it can travel with you. With the right planning, you can enjoy your trip and stay on track.

Exercise plays a powerful role in reproductive health. Moderate, consistent activity can help regulate hormones, support ovulation, reduce stress, and improve blood flow to reproductive organs. But when workouts become too intense -- think long-distance running, high-heat training, or back-to-back high-impact sessions -- it can disrupt your cycle and even prevent ovulation.

So, what’s the right balance? It depends on your body, your diagnosis, and where you are in your fertility journey. For most people, moderate activity like walking, swimming, yoga, or light strength training is not only safe, it’s beneficial.

If you’re planning a big hike, training for a race, or just wondering how your summer routine fits into your treatment plan, let’s talk. Your body is working hard, and your fitness should support that, not compete with it.

Fibroids don’t take a summer break, and if you’re TTC, they might be doing more than just making you uncomfortable.

If you’re dealing with heavy periods, bloating, or pelvic pain that seems worse in the heat, you’re not imagining it. Summer can make fibroid symptoms feel even more intense, thanks to dehydration, heat stress, and hormonal shifts.

But here’s the real kicker: fibroids can also mess with your fertility. Depending on their size and location, they can:
👉 Block s***m from reaching the egg
👉 Interfere with implantation
👉 Increase the risk of miscarriage or pregnancy complications

Not all fibroids cause problems, but if you’re trying to conceive and dealing with symptoms, it’s worth getting checked out. There are treatment options that can preserve your fertility and help you feel like yourself again.

If your summer plans include staying cool and getting answers, I’m here for it. Let’s talk.
