Pregnancy After 40Show Notes
As a result of Dr. Robert Setton and his wife struggling with infertility and conceiving a baby on their own, he decided to changed his medical specialty from cardiology to reproductive endocrinology to assist other women and their partners to conceive. Experiencing several failed IVF transfers and being told that his wife would never be able to conceive using her own eggs at 40 years old, nothing was further from the truth as the couple conceived their oldest child on their 6th IVF transfer and their subsequent 3 children naturally. Now a fertility expert at Shady Grove Fertility in New York, Dr. Setton sits down with us and tells his own personal experience with infertility from his perspective and how he approaches and treats his patients in their fertility journey. To hear more, tune in to this episode for Dr. Robert Setton’s fertility advice and suggestions for both men and women, especially for those over 40 years old.
