Sharing fertility facts to educate women about trying to conceive, getting pregnant, ovulation, fertility treatments, IUI, IVF, becoming a doctor, life as a woman in medicine, and more.
Thanks for what you do! I’m a test tube baby and I think being conceived in a lab is what made me so interested in science 😂
That is awesome! In love it!
I am so glad the Mama Dr Jones gave you a shout out. You have answered questions I didn't know I had. I'm currently 8 days post trigger, 7 days post IUI #2 and I know IVF is our next step.
Hi Natalie! I’m so glad I found you- thank you for the kind and informative content you create. Could I please request a video about considerations for women with mental health conditions when undergoing fertility treatment? For example, what to expect from hormone shots? Should I plan to take time off? What is likely in terms of anxiety and depression management? That’s one of my biggest concerns in considering IVF.
that is a great suggestion - I do find that setting expectations helps women plan and prepare!
This is a great suggestion. I’m also curious how this treatment will effect my mental illness.
@@NatalieCrawfordMD has the topic above went reviewed yet? I’m new to your channel and I’d love to watch.
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for posting this video! I’m following all social media platforms now.
I also found your channel thru MamaDoctorJones ! Would love to see you do a video on IUI!
Coming soon! Love MDJ so much - she's even cooler IRL
Wow thanks for this video! You explain it so well! I'm starting my treatment for secondary infertility very soon and it's good to know what to expect.
I'm so glad this helped!
You are amazing! Thank you for being YOU And sharing this with us 💗🦄
You're the best! That is so sweet! I'm trying!
Yayyyy! Congrats and welcome back!
thank you!!
I love this video!
I was told in July my husband and I only have a 3-5% chance of conceiving naturally and iui or Ivf is our only option and we are most likely going with Ivf. I’m so hopeful but so heartbroken at the same time!
Harmoni Miller it’s so hard! Sending you love
Please talk about male factor infertility, such as azoospermia🙏🏻😌 there is not a lot of information about that
How he helped me and so many others

Thanks for the video! Can you make a video on IUI or other pregnancy options for infertility? Thanks
great idea!
Is IVF the only option a couple has if there is a male factor? Especially if there is low count and motility?
Can a person that had her tubes tied get ivf?? If so can you explain on a video what you would recommend to be done first. Thank you
I know this is old, but ironically the FET meds were way worse for me than the stim meds. BCPs turned me into an angry fire breathing dragon and estrace gave me headaches and crippling panic level anxiety. And then the progesterone plays all the mind games with you giving you all the pregnancy symptoms during the tww. I actually felt a lot better at 10 weeks when I could stop them.
Can you please make a video about breastfeeding and fertility treatment? How come when you breastfeed you can easily get pregnant, but when you’re in fertility treatment you’re told that breastfeeding makes it harder to get pregnant. I understand some medicine can be harmful for the child, but if you “only” need to get a fertilized egg to be injected medicine is not at problem during breastfeeding... why can’t you get fertility treatment just because you’re breastfeeding if your cycle is back on track and regular?
My main questions are "What does it cost?" and "What about age limits?" My fertility doc says she doesn't think it's ethical for them to offer me IVF with my own eggs because I'm 48. I know there are some clinics that do offer such help to older women. My hormones are ideal--am hoping I can improve my egg integrity through antioxidants, general healthcare, and fertility acupuncture. I understand there are two clinics nationwide that offer IVF to older women, so I guess one question would be how difficult it would be to work with them (how many times I'd have to be there in person).
My mom had me at 49, but she had already stopped menstruating so she used an egg donor.
If you need to use an egg donor to get pregnant, it’s not the end of the world. I have plenty of friends who are Petri dish babies. There are even cute children’s books to explain it to the babies when they’re older and have questions.
The egg donor isn’t even the same race as my mom. Despite our genetic differences, my mom still carried my twin and me to full term (and we were BIG babies)! Egg donors are magical and getting help from an egg donor doesn’t make you any less than a mom. Even though I don’t look like my mom, I love her and she’s an amazing parent. She put so much effort and hope into wanting my twin and me and it shows!
@@spookygreg Nice to hear, and yet, I still want my own genetic babies, if possible, partly because I have some great genes, and also because I would like to have that blood link. It's way too soon to say it's not possible, in my opinion.
@@katherineakbar9011 at 48 it’s a sizeable risk and monetary gamble to have a biological child. Even with “perfect” hormones. Improving egg quality is truly hard to do or measure. You can of course try just have a very realistic mindset that the chances are low.
Hi Natalie!
I'm VERY happy that I came across your channel and wished I lived locally so you could be my MD.
My husband and I decided we're going to go the IVF route and we're just waiting for a call back to get the process going. I have so many questions and concerns going into it, but found your channel and felt it to be calming and full of good info. Thank you.
The question that runs across my mind though and I don't see it being discussed is why IVF is so much? Why don't a lot of insurance companies don't cover fertility benefits?
It breaks my heart with the costs of fertility treatment and even adoption. Surrogacy I can understand.
Very important information
Awesome video! Everything is so well explained that anyone can understand it. I have a question. On average, out of 20 eggs retrieved how much will end up in a embryon that can go for genetic testing?
I am trying to find information about Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome as a complication of IVF, but have not found anything. Do you discuss this in depth in any of your videos? Thanks.

No, but my DIL got very ill with OHSS last year and had to be hospitalized. She had a live transfer. She still has some lingering side effects.
Helloo…
Im from Indonesia
I love this video!! Very informative and easy to understand. Please pray for me, hopefully our IVF going to be success, we really want have a baby or (babies). Already subscribed. Thankyou Natalie!
Wishing you the best!!!
I found this video very informative thank you. I was hoping you could do a video on the use of HGH in IVF protocols pleaes? For example why it is used, if it has proven results ect
Thank you
Great suggestion! I just did an IVF video today, and overall I am a fan of HGH in patients suspected to have a poorer response - low reserve or who are older. Data not correlated with live birth rates yet, but we do see na increase in egg/embryos and that is step one.
Hi Natalie! I have a question, from the eggs that "come out of the volt", the one that is chosen to ovulate.. how is it chosen? Is it random? Is the best quality one? I did not know that it every cycle there are other eggs that die :( Thanks so much for this video and your channel!
RANDOM!
If I understood you correctly, extracting eggs for IVF would not reduce the total amount of eggs left more than a normal cycle would. I’ve been thinking about donating eggs for many years, but in my country (Sweden) egg donors are advised to wait until they have had all the children they want to have before donating. I assumed that was because egg extraction would reduce the chances of getting pregnant in the future, by reducing the total amount of eggs.
SmultronsyltNatha you are right - it does not decrease your egg count or your fertility!
What about when you want to ivf but you’re single could I use a sperm donor’s sperm for the process?
So would you consider doing a video on IVF and adinomyosis? I wonder if my uterus isn't perfect how does that effect my chances of IVF working and if it worth trying.
Love this video always wondered about IVF would love if you can do a video on Egg Donation! I am a doner and would love if there was more information available!!!
Great suggestion!
hi, thank you for your videos, I appreciate it as a young woman suffering of infertility. I have a question. have you ever encountered or heard about such case: where the woman is young with a normal egg reserve number, but in egg retrieval only a couple of eggs are retrieved and all of them are abnormal. what can cause this?
I have heard that the extreme dosages and large retrieval’s can have harmful affects much later on, and that there’s a lack of research on this. Would you say that’s possible?
Can you do a video on surrogacy / gestational carriers? 🤰🏻 Also a video on IVF medications and side effects. Thanks! (New subscriber here - I came over from Mama Doctor Jones’ channel) 😄
Selena C H!! Welcome from MDJ! I’ll add these to the list
Be safe🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺🌺
I love your channel!!! Can you do a video about prolactinoma?
I have a macro prolactactinoma and had cessation of my menstrual cycle just as my husband and I tried getting pregnant. I ended up having my beautiful little boy a year later;but I had never heard of prolactionma or the effects it can have on pregnancy until I was diagnosed!
Yes! Great idea
I second this idea wholeheartedly! I have hyperprolactinemia but no tumor. My endocrinologist is great, but it’s frustrating feeling “off” all the time and not knowing what the future might hold in terms of becoming pregnant.
I’m very new into IVF research and just to understand the process, when you say one cycle of IVF, that means one month? Or if that’s incorrect how long one cycle of IVF really is (average)? I ask because I’m 38 and just started TTC (two months ago) and I’m terrified just to think how long this process will be. Specially that my reserve level is 0.2. I will appreciate your clarification and any suggestions you may have❤️
All thanks to Dr Aluda for using his powerful herbs medicine to unblock my tubes. reach him on TH-cam.
Do you have any advice for a person with POI/POF in the early thirties? I still have 4-6 follicles total when they check, but all doctors tell me that there is no point in even trying IVF with my own eggs. I understand that there is a lot of loss on the way, but I would also hope that my not-so-old age would give me a bit better odds... If it matters, there is no history of any fertility issues in the family and no other health issues...
Age is a huge factor! We do IVF in young women with DOR and still get good results, if you have 4-6 follicles, you may need another cycle - but even in POI I would talk to your doctor (or get a second opinion!)
I have a very realistic but some how cringy embarrassing question....... what is the difference in cost in the 1st cycle when all the shots and hormones are taken versus if the 1st egg didn't implant and another that's been frozen needs to be injected in cycle 2? We were quoted $15 k but is it that every cycle typically?
Hi is your practice in clackamas?
How does endometriosis effect with getting pregnant, with and without ivf
will do an end video
Finally have my first consultation with a fertility clinic in a week, after almost two years of trying! If I want can I start IVF off the bat? Or do I have to try letrozole first?
You do not have to do lower successful treatment first! Just tell your doc you want to do the thing with the highest chance of success!
@@NatalieCrawfordMD thank you so much beautiful! Too bad I’m in Canada I would definitely come to your clinic if I could! ❤️
@@jaysonwells1079 thanks!
Also, I’m wondering if you’ve ever helped a trans patient get pregnant and if you’d wanna make a video about it. I don’t know of any fertility doctors who help trans patients.
OMG I love fertility preservation and treatment in the trans population. This will be a great video.
I'm not trying to be rude because I love your content, but the sound quality is really bad in your video(s). A better microphone or something would be helpful!
Whitney W. I appreciate this! I’m trying to figure out the right thing for the space (seems like my podcast one doesn’t cut it unless I’m really close). But thank you! I’ll work on troubleshooting this!
Hi😀
If you don’t ovulate do you still lose eggs?
Where is your practice?
