October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day and the whole month of October is dedicated to raising awareness for Pregnancy and Infant Loss.

We honor the babies whose lives were far too short, and the parents and families who continue to carry them in their hearts.

Loss touches more families than many realize, yet so often it remains unspoken. Grief stays because love stays, and each child—no matter how brief their time—matters deeply.

This month serves as a reminder that no parent grieves alone and no baby is ever forgotten.

We had a great evening Monday at the 29th Annual Right to Life of Northeast Indiana Fall Banquet. It was so affirming and inspiring to gather with over 2,000 advocates for life. Kayleigh Mcenany was a remarkable speaker, sharing her unique insight into just how fragile is the balance for life in the legislative arena. https://www.ichooselife.org/

Your insurance company doesn’t care what you think.
Because you’re not the customer.

Your employer is.

Health insurance is part of your compensation, but most of us never see it. It’s buried in the layers of your pay stub. And because your employer writes the check, the insurance company answers to them (and to its stockholders), not to you.

That’s how we end up with deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. And it’s why a company can refuse to pay for your surgery or hospital stay after the fact. They’ll say they’re not denying your care, only the payment. But when most of us can’t afford care out of pocket, that’s the same thing.

So how do we change it? Through your employer. They want happy employees who stay and do good work. If you complain loudly enough, they’ll listen. And when enough employees speak up, employers demand a better deal from both insurance companies and hospitals.

What’s your experience with your employer and your health insurance? Tell me in the comments.

Why do some endometriosis surgeries take 20 minutes... and others take 8 hours? It comes down to one decision: diagnose first, or try to do everything at once.

“See and treat” sounds ideal, but the reality is, I don’t know how much time I’ll need until I’m already in there. Some patients have so many lesions, removing it all takes hours. But my waiting list is months long already. If I tried to book max time for every patient just in case she needs a long surgery, the wait list would be YEARS.

That’s why we do a quick diagnostic procedure first. It tells me exactly what I’m working with, so I can plan the right surgery, the right team, and set accurate expectations for recovery.

Some of the biggest endometriosis centers prefer this approach for that reason. Not always possible, but always preferred when it is.

Treating pregnancy complications and intentionally ending a pregnancy are two different things, both medically and legally.

Miscarriage management, ectopic pregnancy, sepsis, HELLP syndrome: none of these require an abortion to treat, and no abortion ban in America prevents physicians from treating them.

Here’s what actually happens in complex cases: if a mother develops severe preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome before viability, a physician may need to deliver the baby early to save her life. That baby may survive or may not, depending on a lot of factors. When a baby dies like this, it’s a terrible tragedy but not because the delivery was intended to end its life, simply because it was born too early. The intent is to save the mother, while still hoping for the best outcome for the baby.

This distinction matters. Understanding it helps cut through a lot of the noise around reproductive health policy.

Here’s the myth that could be standing between you and a pregnancy: “if it doesn’t hurt, it’s not endometriosis.”

The reality is, 50% of women with endometriosis have exactly one symptom: they don’t get pregnant. No painful periods, no painful intimacy, nothing that would ever make them think to ask about it. Everything else looks “normal.”

Here’s where it gets bigger: at least 50% of women with PCOS/PMOS also have underlying endometriosis, whether they have pain or not. Some studies put that number as high as 70%.

So if you’ve been told you have PCOS/PMOS and you’re struggling to conceive, endometriosis could be part of the picture, even with a totally normal cycle and no pain.

The presence of pain is interesting. It’s helpful medical information. But the absence of it doesn’t mean the absence of endometriosis, or its impact on your fertility.

The biggest myth I hear about endo: that you’d automatically know if you have it because it hurts.

The truth is, 50% of women with endometriosis have real, significant pain: painful periods, painful intimacy, pain with bowel movements.

But the other 50%? Zero pain. Their only symptom is that they can’t get pregnant, and everything else checks out “normal.”

But pain-free does not mean endometriosis-free, and that distinction matters. Especially if you’re trying to conceive and no one is looking for answers in the right places.

If your doctor isn’t taking the possibility of endometriosis seriously because you’re not experiencing pain, bring it up again armed with this info. Or find a new doctor. We do telehealth appointments and you can find out more at the link in our bio.
