When should you see a fertility specialist? Laura and Brandis break down why you don't have to wait 6–12 months of trying to get evaluated. Whether you're thinking about kids someday, dealing with painful periods, or just curious about your fertility, this episode gives you the real talk. They cover what to expect at a first consult, myths about family history, and why fertility testing is just smart health care — not a commitment to treatment.
Key topics:
Baseline fertility testing (AMH, imaging, carrier screening)
Fertility preservation for single individuals
Patient autonomy and making your own plan
What it’s really like to see a specialist
Options for same-sex couples, solo parents, and more
