The Alabama ruling has been devastating to patients and doctors (and doctors who have been patients).
Thank you WGN Radio 720 for a fact-based discussion of IVF, why this ruling is dangerous, & why reproductive decisions must remain between patient & doctor.

The Alabama ruling is a devastating reminder that we must fight to keep family building a fundamental right. Urge your members of Congress to COSPONSOR the Access to Family Building Act to protect IVF and families across the country using our action alert: votervoice.net/ASRM/campaigns…

If you had #cancer could you preserve #fertility ? Would insurance cover it?
The answer is disappointing.
3.6 mill. reproductive-age U.S. women live >2h from Oncofertility care; most lack insurance coverage.

Competing priorities of parenthood/career led me to freeze embryos after training. Best decision I've made. I had access; most don't.
IVF isn't the only answer, but more training programs (like McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University) should support fertility preservation.
Proud of this team & Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine

Great piece on the ageing of the ovaries from Emily Mullin!
‘The fact that the ovaries age so much faster than other body tissues also makes them a valuable way to test anti-aging drugs…which could have implications for aging in both women and men.’ wired.com/story/aging-me…
