Do you have a reproductive life plan? Don’t worry if you don’t! I certainly didn’t when I first heard the term. However, by the end of this episode, you should have more of an idea of what one is and why you should at least have a conversation with your health provider about getting one.
Dr. Samantha Butts, MD received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School and has been in practice for more than 20 years. She is the current Chief of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Penn State. In this role, she specializes in treating individuals and couples who require fertility treatments in order to achieve pregnancy.
Dr. Butts has extensive experience providing the full spectrum of infertility treatment services to meet the needs of those seeking care who are single, coupled, LGBTQ, and those whose complex medical histories impact their reproductive health.
I could not have had a better guest for this topic!
In this conversation, we talk about the range of fertility issues that people can face, and how digital health can show up in relation to these issues. What tools exist, and how do doctors view them?
