With the news this morning,
with the fresh start of a new year,
some couples may be thinking
about family planning.
And with that, we may find yourself at
a roadblock dealing with infertility.
But guess what? You are not alone.
And we've got to look at some
options to actually consider
joining us as Doctor Julian Escobar,
a fertility physician from
conceive fertility center. Dr.
Smart, thank you so much for
waking up early and being here.
Thank you so much for having
me. No threat. Yes.
So this topic is near and dear to
my heart because I think in 2021,
my husband and I were like.
Right, we're ready.
Let's start family planning.
And nothing was happening.
So I was like, wait,
let me see what's wrong,
what's going on, right.
Thank God.
But when should someone get
that fertility evaluation?
Because that's what I needed.
So for sure, any couple who's tried
to conceive 4 / a year should get
some help and at least an evaluation.
If you're over 35, six months,
if you have any medical conditions,
like you don't have regular cycles or
you've had extensive pelvic surgery,
you should go earlier.
And um, and if you're trying to delay
pregnancy and you're in your 30s,
you should at least get an evaluation
so you can make a conscious decision.
You know, you mentioned age being
35 or older. Why is age, I guess,
such a a huge concern here.
It's a huge concern because even if
you have no physical factors that
impede fertility, if you're 35,
your chances of conception are about
half that when you were thirty.
And if you're 40,
they're about a fourth or a fifth.
So in DFW, with all the professional
women we have, we've gone to school.
Focusing their careers got married
either 30s, it's the main factor.
It's for most people is going to be
age and that affects pregnancy rates.
It's going to increase their
miscarriage rates and their chance
of unemployed such as Down syndrome,
which is a huge deal,
right, right. I guess what is
the most common fertility issue
if I can say that you
encounter, I would say that
dysfunction obviously is a
big issue and tubal factor,
but the main thing I think we
see in the DFW is going to be.
These professional women who are
trying to get pregnant in their 30s,
early 40s, maybe second marriage or
it never happened and they're trying
to find options to become moms.
And so that is the type of
patient that we see the most.
So it's not necessarily someone who
knows they have a fertility problem,
but more like someone who because
of age now they have to be more
proactive to build a family they want.
What would you do, I guess, when it
comes to concrete medical problems
to seek that fertility care, so.
You so if you go to your OBGYN first
if you have that and but you can also
go straight to a fertility physician.
I think the bigger the you you
consider your situation the more
you should just go straight to
fertility physician but if you have
a good relationship with your OB GYN
they're treating you seriously like
I said a year maximum or six months.
If you're 35 then start there
you know let's be honest
here I guess when you when
you start trying and and and
nothing's really happening it
it can be I guess a daunting
feeling to be. Wait, do I?
Do I really need to go and get help?
And I feel like you guys,
I can see fertility center make this
process easy and very comfortable.
How important is that?
I think is important because
you want to empower yourself.
Like Someone Like You
who's a professional woman.
You have high expectations
that are 22 year old.
So when you're a good time in your
career or your teacher and you
want to deliver in the summer or
you want to have several children,
you're 38 and you started or you
have a child of a certain gender,
you want to optimize.
Your options,
and you're already a very
pragmatic person and you organize
and you're probably Taipei.
And so a lot of these people
can get at least organized.
Just because you come see see us
doesn't mean that you're going
to do fertility treatment, right?
Most people have multiple options,
but at least you have a plan of attack.
That's exactly what I'm talking about now.
Doctor Square, I got to tell you,
I follow you on social media and
you're so vocal and you make women
feel so comfortable. Couples as well.
How can people contact you?
How can people get in contact with you?
So. On Instagram and Facebook and TikTok and
patients have made me get going to there.
That's how people like to communicate.
And so it's just Dr. Julian Escobar.
And so just come follow any
questions I can answer for people.
But I just want to demystify the process.
It's so common.
One in six couples go through this.
Like I said, there's the other people
who don't even have fertility issues,
but they want to build a family they want.
This is the center of our lives.
And so I just try to give patients
all the information they want so
in the comfort of their homes.
They know how to empower themselves
and perhaps take that further
to their OBGYN or fertility.
Dr.

thank you for joining us this morning.
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.
