Did you know that we all hatched? Much like this state of a pistachio with the nut coming out, embryos hatch out of their shells so they can đŸ€žđŸŒimplant into the uterus. Thankfully, they are not as ginormous as the pistachio in this picture. 😉

Say no to Dr. Google. When it comes to fertility and reproductive health, reliable information is key. Stick with trustworthy sources like @asrm_org and resolveorg who provide accurate, up-to-date info which allows you to take an active role in your family building journey! 📚

One of my patients brought her beautiful baby daughter to meet me. Seeing both mother, daughter, and husband healthy and thriving is a heartwarming reminder of why I do what I do. Moments like these make all the hard work worthwhile.

Meet the legendary Tree of TĂ©nĂ©rĂ©, once the most isolated tree on Earth. Growing a family can feel similarly isolated, but there's strength in solitude. Surround yourself with support, and you'll find your oasis. 🌿 #TreeOfTenere #InfertilityJourney #GrowingFamilies

Sometimes, even when you’re doing all the right things, things just don’t go as planned. So, what exactly is #infertility? If you’ve been trying to conceive for a year without success (or six months if you’re 35+), you might be dealing with it.

Reminder: You may not be able to control your fertility or when you get pregnant, but you ARE in control of how you let social media into your life. If scrolling through posts isn’t lifting you up proving support, it’s OK to take a step back.

Today is #NationalRainbowBabyDay🌈 A rainbow baby is a symbol of hope, born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. I'm thinking of those celebrating their rainbows and those still in the wait. I see you. I was you. Know that no storm lasts forever.

Sometimes infertility can feel like a rollercoaster, the wildest ride with the most unexpected twists and turns. But remember, every ride eventually comes to an end. So, try your best to hang on tight, and when you can, try to enjoy the ride. #Infertility #CedarPoint

Happy Labor Day! It’s true what Richard Bach said: “The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work.” When you love what you do, it hardly feels like work at all, especially knowing what it's like to be on the side of my patients. Cheers to new possibilities.

September is here, and that means it's #PCOSAwarenessMonth! Here are four essential things I wish every patient with #PCOS knew...

Curious about #IUI? It’s a nifty procedure where sperm is gently placed directly into the uterus (think of it as an Uber for sperm), boosting the chances of that magical moment where the sperm meets with the egg. If you’re pondering your options, IUI could be one of them.

This little guy and his mom stopped by to say hi last week, and I gotta say—seeing them together makes my day every time. Every patient has their own unique story, and it’s a privilege to be part of their journey.

For today's #NIAW2025 challenge, RESOLVE asked us to tag those who support our infertility journey. To me, our team at Dallas IVF is the village many patients need when building their families. #AllinConnection #infertilityjourney #ALLinFertility
