In 1973, through the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade, women were given the right of access and privacy to abortion without federal or state-wide regulation. However, on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned this landmark ruling with the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization case. Now, the right to abortion care and reproductive autonomy can be regulated at a state level. However, the resounding effect is not only fear for abortion rights but also reproductive care as a whole. "Personhood laws” that define life and humanity at conception and fertilization exist in certain states, creating an implication that interweaves more discussions regarding fertility and reproductive medicine, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg freezing, management of ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages, and criminalization of practitioners who facilitate such procedures.We are joined today by Dr. Serena H. Chen, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and fellowship-trained reproductive endocrinologist. She received her BS in Biology from Brown University in 1984, MD from Duke University School of Medicine in 1989, and OB/GYN residency in 1992 and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellowship in 1995 at Johns Hopkins Hospital. She stands as the Founding Partner and Medical Director of The Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science (IRMS) and the Vice President of Doctors for Fertility, a physician-led organization with the mission to educate and inform policy on reproductive rights. She is also an Associate Clinical Professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and St. George's University School of Medicine. As seen in Wired, New York Magazine, and U.S. News & World Report, Dr. Chen provides online education about fertility treatments and access to reproductive help.Livestream Air Date: August 24, 2022Dr. Serena H.

Chen, a fertility doctor, and Dr. Ioana Baiu, a surgeon who's gone through the egg-freezing process, as we dive deep into the benefits and challenges of family planning, to find out ways you can get your power back when it comes to deciding on when to have children, how to consciously date when you know you want a family, and how to maximize your reproductive options. --- ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my Virtual Retreat, June 2 - 4, 2023 → MHVirtualRetreat.com

Have you ever watched videos of cute babies online and then you start getting "baby fever"? And I believe that one of the monumental moments in our elementary education years is when we start learning about the actual process of this baby fever: "sexy time." As our guest described: "romantic" and "between sheets." However, there are instances when this activity does not result in the baby that the intending people wanted. According to the NIH, in the United States alone, approximately 9% of men and 11% of women of their reproductive age have infertility problems that imbue difficulties in the conception of a baby. Is there no longer hope for these partners to build the family that they have always dreamed of? Are there possible alternatives still available to them? There is no better person to ask these questions than the expert in the reproductive field: board-certified fertility expert physician Dr. Serena H. Chen.Receiving her bachelor's degree in Biology from Brown University in 1984, attaining her medical degree from Duke University in 1988, and completing her Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in 1992 where she also fulfilled her Reproductive Endocrinology/Infertility fellowship in 1995, Dr. Chen now stands as a fertility specialist and reproductive endocrinologist at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center and IRMS Reproductive Medicine in New Jersey. Beyond this, she also served as a clinical associate professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and St. George's University School of Medicine.With Dr. Chen's three decades of experience, we go into a deep dive into all things fertility and reproduction: the menstrual period, PCOS, infertility, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, ovarian reserve, Anti-Müllerian hormone, egg freezing, medical surrogacy, in vitro fertilization (IVF), LGBTQ+ family planning, and safety of vaccines for pregnant people. Through all of this, Dr. Chen has a clear message to those who want to become parents: in one way or another, there is hope for you to build a healthy and happy family so you should be informed of your options so you will have no regrets.Livestream Air Date: July 14, 2021Dr. Serena H.
