Today’s episode features an enlightening conversation with Dr. Julie Lamb, a distinguished physician and fertility specialist. Our discussion revolves around the crucial topic of fertility preservation during fertility treatment and the paramount significance of personalized care.  

Dr. Lamb emphasizes the pressing need for engaging in individualized discussions with patients to consider their unique goals and available options. Clinicians play an instrumental role in counseling and providing comprehensive information that empowers patients to make informed decisions, and it is imperative to address any ethical concerns that may arise from selective counseling by ensuring that all patients are afforded inclusive and extensive discussions.  

The discussion also sheds light on the importance of considering embryo banking for patients who are already in the process of planning embryo creation. Equally vital is patient education and awareness, as it plays a pivotal role in comprehending the nuances and implications of fertility changes.
