The latest trend from the CDC is that fertility rates are down and age at conception is up. It's probably delayed childbearing that is the major factor. It can lead to more difficulty conceiving and fewer children. Not a good trend for the economy. https://t.co/u2iCv2RuBN

More American women than ever are having twins, triplets, quadruplets and even quintuplets, and it’s not just because some are using fertility treatments. https://t.co/egFJbIjHtF

A new study shows that fertility drugs are not associated with cancer; it's the infertility and some are associated with genes like BRCA. https://t.co/btdAmUTpyn

One of the unheralded advances in IVF is the ultrasound guided embryo transfer with a full bladder. It's heralded here. https://t.co/rzwL05CMgP

What is the best age for a woman to consider freezing her eggs? There is a lot of hype to try to get woman to freeze and very young ages by some companies. https://t.co/WNaIEFQCeh

First home fertility tests. Now fertility apps. Sorry , they are not for the serious rsproducer. https://t.co/Wol0l4WxLR

A start up company is offering in-home fertility testing of egg potential but is it worth the money and time? It sure is for the company. https://t.co/oCaVwD2eR0

Here's the latest in egg donor selection; using facial-recognition to help make a match. Seriously? https://t.co/ylrg8XM81Y

[Arthur Wisot, M.D. @ArthurWisotMD]

If you did a "man on the street" interview, or more correctly a "woman on the street" interview, and asked "Why do you think a woman freezes her eggs?" the answer I would expect would be to avoid age related problems with her eggs. No so. https://t.co/c6vFMJvEDM

Chronic endometritis is something I look for in IVF cases with repeated implantation failure. Now a meta-analysis shows that curing the condition leads to a better chance of success. https://t.co/3wPXPW4Q7M

There are many health effects from PCOS beyond fertility issues. It's important information for patients to know. https://t.co/PDkA51wzbb

[Arthur Wisot, M.D. @ArthurWisotMD]

Here's breaking news: Clomid helps women with PCOS ovulate and get pregnant. Wait a minute....we've know that for 50 years. But know we may know a little bit more about how it works. https://t.co/KwJ48H6IFY
