POV: You're Googling "Do I Need a Fertility Doctor" at 2AM

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
