Dr. Natalie Crawford explains the endometrium—what it is, what it is hormonally responsive to, things that change it, and possible abnormalities. She dives into all things related to the endometrium, including, what can cause a thin endometrium lining, uterine septum, endometrial polyps, and more.  

She also discusses an NBC essay about how Texas’ abortion trigger ban has stopped a woman from pursuing further IVF treatment. 

Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. How far in advance do I start a prenatal before trying to conceive? What are the percental risks of multiples during IUI? Does a short follicular phase equal worse egg quality?
