Are you aware that infertility is no longer a personal struggle but a growing global crisis? With fertility rates falling globally, what does this mean for the future of family building? Today, I’m joined by Dr. Asima Ahmad, an expert in fertility and reproductive health, who takes us through the staggering statistics and how they’re shaping societal conversations.
Dr. Ahmad explains why many people are delaying childbearing, how age impacts fertility, and how fertility treatments are becoming more accessible and effective. We also discuss how science is evolving to help individuals facing fertility challenges, even if they’re navigating non-traditional paths to parenthood.
Family planning isn’t just about preventing pregnancy anymore; it’s about preparing for future possibilities. If you're curious about the options available to you, whether you're in a heterosexual relationship or navigating a non-traditional fertility journey, this conversation is for you.
