Did you know your thyroid plays a role in ovulation, your cycle, and early pregnancy? 🦋​

​Our new blog breaks down how thyroid health and fertility are connected, including what's changed in recent guidance on thyroid antibodies and "borderline" results (a topic with a lot of confusion).​

​The reassuring part: thyroid issues are usually very treatable, and testing is just a simple blood draw. 💜​

Did you know fibroids affect most women at some point — but that doesn't automatically mean fertility trouble? 🩺​

​🔍 It really comes down to where a fibroid is located, not just that it's there. In our latest blog, we break down the different types of fibroids, how they can (or can't) impact your fertility journey, and when it's worth talking to a specialist. Read more on our blog at the link in bio!

✨ We're so proud to share this story.​

​The U.S. fertility rate has hit a historic low — and the conversation around why, and what options are available, has never been more important.​

​NBC sat down with our own Dr. Michelle Catenacci, alongside our incredibly brave patient, Isis, a 30-year-old doctoral student who is navigating her fertility journey as a single mother-to-be.​

​💜 Isis's story is a powerful reminder that the path to parenthood looks different for everyone — and that no one has to walk it alone.​

​🩺 Dr. Catenacci speaks to a trend we see every day in our clinic: more women are taking control of their reproductive futures, whether that means freezing their eggs, pursuing IVF, or simply starting the conversation earlier.​

​We are so honored to be part of stories like these!​

PMOS (formerly known as PCOS) is about so much more than the ovaries. Dr. Michelle Catenacci walks through the signs to watch for, how it's actually diagnosed (hint: it's not just "cysts on an ultrasound"), and the range of treatment options — whether your goal is managing symptoms, supporting metabolic health, or growing your family. 💜 Watch now to learn more about this common condition.​
