"The Fertility Journey" -Beth McAvey, MD
For many couples, having a baby can take much longer to materialize than they expect. Millions of couples experience infertility and a large number of them seek medical care in order to build their family. Beth McAvey, MD, assistant clinical professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai writes, “As a reproductive endocrinologist, I see this every day in my office. Infertility rates continue to increase as the average age of the first-time mom continues to rise.” She continued, “No matter what path people take on their parenting journey – one thing is clear: the subject of fertility can have intense physical, emotional and financial implications. And navigating this process can be overwhelming. Here’s what every person needs to know, well before they ever need to see a fertility specialist.”
