I want to tell you what actually sets STL Fertility apart.

Most fertility monitoring visits involve a sonographer doing your ultrasound. You leave without answers. Maybe you get a phone call later that day — maybe the next morning. You spend that time anxious, Googling follicle sizes, trying to interpret numbers without context.

That is NOT what happens here.

At STL Fertility, every monitoring visit is with a provider — a physician or one of our nurse practitioners — who reviews your results with you before you leave. You know what your numbers mean. You know the plan. You leave with answers.

All of us are interpreting, explaining, and supporting you.

That is the difference.

Our family is here to help you build yours. 🤍

Here's what happens when you see a provider at every appointment.

When you come in for monitoring — you see me, one of my physician partners, or Melanie or Ellie.

Seeing a PROVIDER means you get results RIGHT THEN AND THERE. No waiting. No sitting by the phone. You leave knowing how many follicles you have, what the tentative plan is, and with time to ask all of your questions.

Before your appointment, I have reviewed where you are in your cycle. After your appointment, results come back to me and I decide if anything changes.

When Molina and I built STL Fertility, the goal was simple: treat every patient the way we would want to be treated. We wouldn't want to wait for answers after an appointment. We wouldn't want our sisters or best friends to either.

That's why we built it this way.

I want to show you how your fertility journey actually works here — because I think it's different from what most people expect.

When you and I decide the best next step for you, I design your protocol. Your history, your previous responses, your labs — it is all part of my decision. That protocol gets shared with our entire team so that everyone working with you is working from the same plan.

Sometimes if I need to think something through, I turn to Molina or Violet. Three heads are better than one. And you get the benefit of all three. That's physician-led care in practice. It means I'm directing your care at every appointment — whether I'm in the room or not.

To everyone who is 35+ and scared: please keep reading. 💙

I hear it constantly. "I waited too long." "My window is closing." "It's too late for me."

I want to offer a different perspective — grounded in what I actually see in my practice.

Yes, fertility declines with age. That is biology. But here's what is ALSO true:

✓ Many patients in their late 30s and early 40s conceive successfully with IVF
✓ Ovarian reserve is the key variable — and we have tools to assess and work with it
✓ Success rates for patients your age at STL Fertility exceed national benchmarks ✓ Starting a conversation with a specialist is not giving up — it is gaining information

I had a patient who came to me at 41 convinced it was hopeless. She has two kids. Your age is one data point. It is not your destiny.

Something I need to say out loud, because I don't think physicians say it enough.

When your beta comes back negative — I feel it too.

I know that sounds surprising. But I have been in this long enough that a failed cycle is never just a data point to me. I think about you. I replay the cycle. I ask what we can do differently.

And then I call you.

Not to read you a script. To sit with you in it for a moment. To remind you that one cycle is information, not a verdict. To tell you we are not done.

If you are in the aftermath of a negative beta right now: I see you. And I am so sorry. You did everything right.

We will figure out the next step together. That is my promise. 💙

There’s a major conversation happening right now in reproductive medicine — and I think it matters. 💙

PCOS has been renamed to PMOS:
Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

Why? Because the name polycystic o***y syndrome has never fully reflected what this condition actually is.

Many patients with PCOS don’t actually have ovarian cysts. And for years, the name has minimized the reality that this condition affects far more than the ovaries alone — including metabolism, hormones, ovulation, insulin resistance, fertility, cardiovascular health, and mental health.

This change is about improving understanding, diagnosis, and care.

Because when patients better understand what’s happening in their bodies, they can advocate for themselves more clearly — and receive more comprehensive care.

No matter what we call it, one thing remains true:
PMOS is treatable. It is manageable. And it does not mean you cannot build your family. 💛

One of the most challenging parts of fertility care is uncertainty — and there’s a reason it shows up so often.
⠀
Reproductive medicine involves complex biology. Egg development, s***m quality, embryo growth, and implantation are influenced by multiple factors, many of which can’t be fully predicted ahead of time. Even with excellent care, outcomes are not always immediate or guaranteed.
⠀
Uncertainty does not mean your care team lacks a plan. It means decisions are being guided by real-time information and your individual response to treatment.
⠀
My role is to help patients navigate that uncertainty with transparency, education, and support — so you’re never left guessing about what comes next.

We are a family here to help you build yours. 🤍

Here's what that actually looks like at every appointment. When you come in for monitoring — whether you see me, Molina, Violet, Melanie, or Ellie — you are seeing a PROVIDER. Someone who knows your chart and can look you in the eye and say: here are your numbers, here is what they mean, and here is exactly what happens next.

You don't leave wondering. You leave knowing.

I went through my own fertility journey. I remember sitting in exam rooms just WANTING someone to tell me what was going on. That's a big part of why we built STL Fertility the way we did.

The STL Fertility family works together…. and plays together! There’s something really special about caring for the St Louis community both inside and outside the clinic.

Last night, we had the privilege of supporting Microfinancing Partners in Africa at their incredible gala—and even more special, cheering on , who generously donated one of her beautiful pieces of artwork to the cause. Watching her use her talents beyond medicine to make a global impact was one of those proud moments you don’t forget.

At STL Fertility, being physician-owned and operated isn’t just a business model—it shapes how we show up. We live here. Our families are here. Our patients are our neighbors. And that means we care deeply about the organizations and charities that make St. Louis stronger.

Whether it’s supporting local initiatives, uplifting global missions connected to our team, or simply showing up when it matters—we believe building families and building community go hand in hand.

Because the same heart we bring to helping you grow your family… is the one we bring to supporting the place we call home. 🤍 Not pictured: MKM - who has perfected the Irish goodbye 🤣👏
