Trying to get pregnant was on my OKR list in 2023. Like many women, I was deep into my career when I realized that growing my family wasn't going to be easy. With a low ovarian reserve, I spent many months with RMA of New York and finally had my daughter, Reese (aka Reesie Cup), one year ago. I'm so excited to invite Dr Lucky Sekhon, M.D. to TALEA West Village this Thursday for an open conversation about my fertility journey and to answer your most pressing questions about egg freezing, IVF, LGBTQIA+ family planning, male infertility, etc. RSVP link is here - it's free, but could change your life. https://lnkd.in/eZ_ZWASb

For those planning to become pregnant, there is an often overlooked yet vital factor: the connection between heart health and fertility. The growing recognition of the intersection between these two specialties has paved the way for increasingly collaborative care models and shown how fertility and cardiovascular health cannot be treated in isolation. In fact, early referrals, shared decision-making, and team-based care can significantly improve outcomes, particularly for high-risk patients. In this Q&A with Mount Sinai Health System's 'Today,' Tia Jackson-Bey, MD,?a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at?RMA of New York?and Assistant Clinical Professor, Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and?Ruwanthi Wijesinghe, MD, a cardiologist at Mount Sinai and Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiology), explain why maintaining a healthy heart is crucial for reproductive success, how multidisciplinary care can enhance patient outcomes, and steps you can take before, during, and after pregnancy to improve your overall heart health.
