How to Talk to Your Doctor About Fertility if You Are Over 40

Description
Talking about your fertility when you’re over 40 is not easy, but I want women to stop apologizing for desiring a family. Times have changed. It’s okay to want a baby over 40. It’s not crazy, nor selfish.
My approach is for all of my patients to be given their best chance at a healthy pregnancy in the shortest period of time. How do we do this?
