When it comes to fertility, time matters — but it isn’t everything.

This recent Today Show explores when egg freezing may offer the best potential for future family planning, with insights from leading reproductive specialists.

The takeaway? Your late 20s to early 30s are often ideal — but the right time is when YOU are ready.

Dr. Rafat Abbasi proudly represented our team at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine Scientific Congress & Expo last week in San Antonio, learning how AI in reproductive medicine is helping improve outcomes and build families.

She especially loved Ferring Pharmaceuticals' inspiring “Blossoms of Hope” message — a reminder that 1 in 6 people face infertility, and together, we can break the silence and the stigma.

Dr. Rafat Abbasi is in St. Paul this week for the 44th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Immunology!

She served as the Chair of a clinical course on infertility and implantation failures, helping guide a conversation related to the immune system’s role in unexplained pregnancy loss and failed embryo implantation.

We’re so proud to see her taking a prominent role as the nation’s top reproductive immunologists gather to learn and share knowledge. These events are so vital to the advancement of science and, most importantly, better outcomes for patients.

Struggling with male fertility? You’re not alone — and small changes can make a big difference.

While not every cause is treatable, some borderline fertility issues can improve with healthy habits. Start here:
🥦 Eat well: Antioxidant-rich foods and omega-3s support s***m health.
💤 Sleep matters: Aim for 7–9 hours to support hormone production.
🏋️‍♂️ Get moving: Regular activity boosts testosterone and blood flow.
🔥 Avoid excess heat: Saunas, hot tubs, and tight underwear can harm s***m.
🧘‍♂️ Manage stress: Chronic stress affects fertility — mindfulness helps.

If you’re ready to take the next step, we’re here to help.
