Fertility Myths vs Facts: What To Trust Online (Doctor Explains) | Dr. Lowell Ku


Listen Later

Cut through fertility misinformation. Dr. Lowell Ku (REI; leads ASRM’s technology professional group) separates myths from facts so you know what to trust online, from influencers, and in clinic—plus how to think about supplements and opinion vs evidence.  

We cover TTC with IUI/IVF and decisions using donor conception or surrogacy—what matters most and where to find reliable guidance.

  - What to trust online: source hierarchy (guidelines/studies - summaries - opinions)  

  - Red flags vs green flags (absolute claims, miracle fixes, cherry‑picked “proof”)  
  - Supplements: evidence vs hype; how to sanity‑check a claim  
  - Influencers vs doctors: personal stories vs clinical guidance (how to weigh both)  
  - Questions to ask your clinic about protocols, testing, and add‑ons  
  - Where to get reliable info for IVF/IUI, donor conception, and surrogacy
