Episode Details

As we embark on a new year, I'm excited to delve into the basics of fertility care with all of you. Whether you're just curious, have set a resolution to prioritize your reproductive health this year, or you've been on this journey for a while, I think it's always great to go back to the basics that I share with my own patients.

This week, I'm thrilled to (re)introduce The TUSHY Method - 5 essential tests to have done when you're seeking a diagnosis.

What does TUSHY stand for?⁠
T is for Tubes–as in your fallopian tubes. First, you need to determine whether the fallopian tubes are open.⁠
U is for Uterus. I recommend doing an ultrasound of your uterus to figure out if there are any anatomic issues affecting your ability to get pregnant.⁠
S is for Sperm, because every pregnancy is a two-part gig! Learning about your partner’s or donor’s sperm health is essential.⁠
H is for Hormones. I recommend testing for three different critical hormone levels to understand your fertility in a more personal way.⁠
Y is for Your genetic profile. The genes you’ve inherited from your biological parents can determine a lot about how your unique body behaves, and this includes your fertility and reproductive systems.⁠

Join me on this informative journey as we explore each aspect throughout the week. Knowledge is power, and understanding these fundamentals can make a world of difference in your fertility care.
