Vitamin D and fertility

Dr. Natalie Crawford chats about vitamin D and its relation to fertility, including why it matters, when you should get your levels checked, and how much you should supplement. There’s a lot we don’t know about vitamin D and its effect on fertility; but, studies show us that a deficiency in vitamin D can be associated with miscarriage and recurrent miscarriage.    In this week’s Fertility in the News, Natalie also discusses an article in Runner’s World about how The Center for Environmental Health found that sports bras sold by many major athletic brands contained BPAs well over the safe limit.    Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Is a laparoscopy recommended after unsuccessful fertility treatments? Should you test progesterone after a frozen embryo transfer? What should I do next after two IUIs and unexplained infertility?   Don't forget to ask your questions on Instagram for next week’s For Fertility’s Sake segment when you see the question box on Natalie’s page @nataliecrawfordmd.
