Hello and welcome to the Fertility in Focus Podcast! I'm your host, Dr. Christina Burns. In this session, we're exploring some Western medicine aspects of fertility treatment, specifically IVF protocols. We'll discuss how to have informed conversations with your doctor and the importance of exploring different approaches, especially if standard protocols aren't yielding results.
