More women who can get pregnant means more children ‘who 20 to 30 years from now will become taxpayers,’ he said, generating far more than the cost of the fertility treatments.

I have a Harvard training to lean on, and an evolving and open mind with eastern roots. Everyone is different and although the standard of care is applicable, we must tweak it to provide the best possible outcomes to our patients.

My intention is to provide a different type of service and care. It’s empowering for everyone involved.”

“‘If you look at the statistics, you see that most people with fertility problems don’t seek help—only a small fraction do. In some cultures, fertility treatments might be frowned upon, or they might worry it could hurt their marriage, and that their partner wouldn’t accept them if they were infertile.

It’s just like if you had a broken arm, kidney damage or liver failure—you need medical treatment to help you overcome it, and there’s nothing wrong with asking for help. One thing we commonly hear when people finally do become pregnant is that their biggest regret is they didn’t start sooner.’” Dr. Jesse Hade on Pride Angel

He tried to prioritize the women with the most need: In general, younger women who have more eggs could afford to wait a couple extra months, but for older women, the delay could diminish their changes of becoming pregnant. Nejat said he had one-on-one conversations with his patients to hear their concerns and explain the risks, both what was known and what was not, so each decision of whether or not to pause was made on a case-by-case basis.”

“The good news is that your chances of getting pregnant are much more about the quality of the egg, rather than the quantity. There are three markers indicative of egg quantity: anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) level, day 3 follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level, and antral follicle count.
