Dr. Silber has been at the forefront of groundbreaking advances like mini-IVF, ovarian tissue transplantation, and in vitro maturation (IVM) of eggs. His work has transformed what's possible for patients around the world, and I've admired his contributions since my earliest days in medicine. Together, we dive into the latest innovations and what they mean for anyone thinking about their fertility journey, planning for the future, or exploring new options.
