When you make an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist about infertility, contraceptives are the last thing you expect to discuss. But our “masters of the menstrual cycle” may suggest certain birth control methods to help control your periods or thin your endometrial lining, all with your ultimate fertility and health in mind. Join Dr. Carrie Bedient from The Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center and Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center for an important talk about contraceptives. Discover how birth control pills and IUDs assist some women’s fertility treatment, as well as how long different contraceptives affect your ability to get pregnant once you quit using them. Find out how tubal ligation and vasectomies (something for the guys) impact fertility.
