Welcome to FIRM Blogs

I hope to post blog entries on a regular basis to help to answer some of the common questions that we have been asked by patients regarding various subjects in the field of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility.   This is in an effort to help to provide clear explanations of various conditions, and to counter a lot of mis-information that patients can sometimes receive from other sources such as the internet, friends, or other health professionals.    It should be recognized that each patient is in a separate situation which can justify various treatment options.  There is not a single right or wrong way to treat each person.  The information in these postings is a general educated view that is supported by factual medical literature.  I strive to keep this as well as my own knowledge as up to date in the field as possible.   Though these opinions are generally held by all of the physicians at the FIRM, understand that slight differences of management may occur depending on a patient’s individual situation.    I welcome new questions that can serve as future blog topics.
