Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses the recent Bloomberg article about how LGBTQ+ hospital workers in Illinois are being denied fertility treatments. Later, she discusses the causes of irregular periods and the importance of not presuming that your cycle is normal. 

Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Can birth control extend your fertile years by preventing ovulation? Does intermittent fasting affect fertility? What are some modifiable things to do to improve uterine lining? 

Don't forget to ask your questions on Instagram for next week’s For Fertility’s Sake segment when you see the question box on Natalie’s page @nataliecrawfordmd.
