Dr. Natalie Crawford explains how the uterus is formed and the different types of uterine birth defects including a transverse vaginal septum, bicornuate uterus, unicornuate uterus, uterine septums, and more. So often there are no warning signs until you reach infertility or are getting an evaluation. She also goes into detail about a uterine septum, which is the most common uterine birth defect, and the procedure to fix them. In this week’s Fertility in the News, Natalie discusses celebrities sharing their experience with using a gestational carrier including Paris Hilton, Priyanka Chopra, and Kim Kardashian. She explains how this decision is not always easy for patients and how sharing about it makes others feel less alone. She also explains the difference between the terms surrogate and gestational carrier and why it's important to know the difference. Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Why am I not ovulating on Letrozole or Clomid? Do people with diminished ovarian reserve always need donated eggs? What are the best tips for the embryo to implant during the two week wait- are avocados and pineapples a myth? How can antiphospholipid antibody syndrome be treated?
