Anybody who is a regular visitor on Facebook is all too familiar with the epidemic of cute little quizzes revealing “Which Disney character are you?” or “What kind of dinosaur are you?”. That’s how I got the inspiration to start a new series of blog posts on “What type of fertility patient are you?”
It’s true that everyone is different and no two fertility patients are exactly alike. However, RE’s very naturally speak of categories, such as tubal factor, unexplained, diminished ovarian reserve or male factor, for example. Labeling patients with these labels can generally help guide our treatment. However, we sometimes have to be careful not to let labels make us too narrow minded. There is going to be a lot of overlap between the different types, especially when many couples have more than one factor.
Anyway, starting later this week, I’ll begin posting on different “types” of fertility patients. If you have any suggestions on what “types” you’d like to see profiled, let me know.
As I complete each post, I’ll put a link at the end of this post, so if you would like, you can bookmark this page now and come back later to check for updates. This should be fun for me and informative for you!
