When to Consider Fertility Preservation Options

In her expert-driven guidance, Dr. Lin breaks down when individuals should begin thinking proactively about fertility preservation—whether due to medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation that may compromise reproductive health, or personal considerations such as delaying childbearing for career or lifestyle reasons. Dr. Lin emphasizes the importance of early assessment with a reproductive endocrinologist, noting that egg or embryo freezing is most effective when performed before the mid-30s, and that options like ovarian tissue preservation or sperm banking should be explored promptly when facing urgent medical interventions. Her insights underscore that being informed early not only improves future fertility outcomes but also empowers patients to make decisions aligned with their long-term family planning goals.

First, know this: The hormone craze on social media isn’t necessarily a bad thing. “I think it’s fantastic that hormone health is finally getting the attention it deserves,” says Li-Shei Lin, MD, PhD, an ob-gyn and reproductive endocrinologist at Reproductive Partners Fertility Center in San Diego. “The fact that so many people are now talking about it—especially on social media—means we’re becoming more empowered to tune into our bodies and advocate for our well-being.”

Testosterone Is a Female Hormone, Too

We tend to associate testosterone with male libido, muscle mass, hair growth, and basically everything that makes a biological male present as male. But until the recent explosion of conversation around menopause and hormonal health, precious little consideration had been given to the fact that testosterone is a vital female hormone, too. “It just circulates in the bloodstream at a much lower level than in men,” says Somi Javaid, MD, a board-certified ob-gyn and founder of HerMD, a women-focused healthcare center.

7 Types of Twins – and What Makes Them All Different

While they usually look almost exactly alike, this isn’t always the case. Regardless of physical appearance, however, they still share all the same genetic material and are genetically identical, explains Jamie Stanhiser, MD, MSCR, a double board-certified physician who specializes in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. According to Stanhiser, while twins occur in about 3 percent of pregnancies, identical twins are a smaller subset, happening in approximately one third of twin pregnancies.

Is Ozempic Safe When Getting Pregnant?

As a fertility specialist, Stanhiser works with patients trying to conceive, often via IVF, and in very early pregnancy. “This data is largely from the IVF population, but what we know is that obese women will have lower quality eggs in an IVF cycle,” Stanhiser says. “We also know that egg quality can impact embryo quality.
