In this important episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa and Kevin Pho, MD, highlight the often-overlooked connection between inherited bleeding disorders and fertility treatments—focusing on von Willebrand disease, the most common inherited bleeding disorder.
They discuss how undiagnosed symptoms—like heavy periods, frequent nosebleeds, or postpartum hemorrhage—can complicate IVF, egg retrieval, and even pregnancy. Together, they emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis, multidisciplinary care with hematologists, and proper precautions like factor replacement therapy to ensure safe, successful outcomes.
Whether you’re a patient with a bleeding history, a provider, or simply curious about the intersection of hematology and reproductive medicine, this episode offers critical insights—and hope—for those navigating fertility care with von Willebrand disease.
