It's tough to know when to see a fertility doctor, and this episode will help you figure out the right time. Host Dr. Lora Shahine joins friend and fellow reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Natalie Crawford for an informative chat about their work, including misleading media portrayals and relationships with infertility patients.

As doctors who have committed their careers to helping others build families, Dr. Shahine and Dr. Crawford have seen it all.
