Late Post. Happy National Women Physician Day. February 3rd honors the rockstar female physicians that dedicate their lives to the health and well-being of others. Thankful for the mentors and village of intelligent, dynamic and compassionate women that inspire me daily and have helped me get to where I am today.

Celebrating Pride Month with all my patients, colleagues, friends, and LGBTQ+ allies. 💕

I am proud to support LGBTQ+ individuals and couples as they begin or expand their families. There are a variety of fertility services that can be utilized to achieve their goals.

Fertility Preservation is a tool used for individuals to freeze and store their eggs or s***m so they can attempt to conceive at a future date. In addition to those interested in a delay of pregnancy, I strongly encourage those that have a gender identity that is different that what was assigned at birth to pursue this option prior to prolonged hormone therapy or surgery.

Intrauterine Insemination, or IUI with a s***m donor is a simple way for le***an couples to conceive. Alternatively, Reciprocal In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, allows one partner to undergo egg harvesting and embryo creation using a s***m donor while the other partner is able to carry the pregnancy. This option allows for shared maternity. 💕

Male couples may use the services of an egg donor (either known or anonymous) to undergo egg harvesting and embryo creation with both or 1 partner’s s***m. Then the embryo(s) are transferred to a gestational carrier or surrogate.
