About this episode
Dr. Natalie Crawford explains what happens during the two week wait. She includes how to use ovulation prediction kits, implantation, pregnancy dating, IVF cycles, and more. Dr. Crawford also explains what to avoid and how to best support your mind and body during this time. During the two week wait, you are either pregnant or you’re not, and this is an emotionally taxing time period. You do not need to go through this alone. Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Have you treated many post-breast cancer chemotherapy patients for fertility preservation or pregnancy? Is achieving a pregnancy tough? If my OPK says peak for three days does that mean I didn’t ovulate? How do you handle the feeling when you’re best friend is pregnant and you still aren’t? Is Letrozole helpful if you already ovulate? Is HGH effective in improving egg quality? How long to you recommend waiting between egg retrievals for egg banking? What fertility treatments to you recommend for someone with hypothalamic amenorrhea? We have moved Fertility In The News to the weekly newsletter in order to keep the podcast more evergreen.
