Listen in as Dr. Spencer Richlin, host of FertilityU, and Jamie Speer, Genetic Counselor at RMA of Connecticut, discuss family building in the age of modern genetic testing and the plethora of options parents have today.

Listen as Dr. Richlin breaks down the fascinating structures and processes within the male and female bodies. The guest on this podcast is Virginia Furnari, RMA of Connecticut Brand Specialist.
