I am so excited to be a part of the practitioner directory for the new Christian pro-life period tracking app called Ana Kate, created by Christian podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey! Did you know the Natural Cycles app refers you for abortion to Planned Parenthood if your pregnancy is unplanned? The app is available NOW for Apple users and should be available on Android in two weeks. My personal patients, we will continue to use ChartNeo so I can see your charts but this is a great option for women everywhere! ana kate app Allie Beth Stuckey

All Frozen Embryo Transfers from anovulatory cycles through IVF do not produce a Corpus Luteum (the source of hormones in naturally conceived cycles). A lack of a corpus luteum leads to methylation problems & epigenetic consequences. These produce pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia & other placental abnormalities, the main reason why IVF pregnancies are automatically considered high-risk (in addition to maternal characteristics). Exogenous hormone supplementation is absolutely required. The assumption that these hormones are adequate or that they will be when the placenta is large enough to produce its own hormones (around 12 weeks) is often incorrect. That's why natural cycle IVF/mini-IVF is likely less risky, although not always as effective. It's also why hormone levels after embryo transfer should be monitored closely (not just hCG levels) & hormone support should never be abruptly stopped at a specific gestational cutoff. We recommend our QUAD monitoring (hCG, Pg, E2, DHEA) in all IVF pregnancies because why would you want to go through all the physical, emotional & financial toll of IVF, just to roll the dice with your pregnancy hormone levels? Once the IVF clinic releases you, they don't care if you miscarry, you are out of their stats. You deserve better! drpoppyandco.com

Today is Pregnancy Loss and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I stand with you as I have 4 babies in Heaven. It has brought me to my knees & almost to the brink of death. It has made me the doctor I am today because I don't want anyone to not get answers or encouragement to seek a different path. I will gladly take all the criticism and flak I get for my methods to help just one woman avoid loss and get to hold her healthy baby in her arms. Please share your stories if you feel so led. In my case, I had a genetic clotting disorder (Factor V Leiden), as well as compound heterozygous MTHFR, but I never had a clot, only miscarriages. I diagnosed myself after lots of research and now I help my patients with this devastating experience. Now my field says "don't test for those." Guess what, I don't listen. But there are many other things we test for and we will do testing even after ONE miscarriage. I take a very detailed history & customize a treatment plan for you. We have so many rainbow babies here because we are aggressive with trying to leave no stone unturned in our evaluation. My heart goes out to all who lost a baby or a child. There is HOPE!!

We get lots of questions about our use of DHEA in fertility & pregnancy so I thought I would share this paper. First off let me say, I've had the pleasure & honor of working with both Dr. Boyle & Dr. Stanford, the latter with whom I published research. They are incredible pioneers in the field of Restorative Reproductive Medicine. Here's why we use DHEA. Internally, it converts to estrogen & testosterone. You may think DHEA/testosterone are bad things in pregnancy as they are androgens (male-type hormones), but only if levels are abnormally high over time, which we monitor very closely. DHEA impressively raises estradiol levels faster & better than taking estrogen exogenously (through patch or pill/we prefer patch due to decreased clotting risk). Low estradiol as well as low progesterone are implicated in miscarriage. So here's our approach:
📈Baseline cortisol, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone & DHEA on all patients pre-pregnancy.
📈Those patients who are high on DHEA and/or testosterone, we don't use DHEA, we use estradiol supplementation if indicated.
📈Once pregnant, we do QUAD testing on everyone as soon as they notify us they are pregnant (hCG, progesterone, DHEA & estradiol)
📈We make individualized decisions on which one to use based on the patient's past & current hormone levels (typically we don't use DHEA in PCOS/PMOS pts).
📈If we use DHEA and levels get out of range of normal or patient has side effects (acne etc), then we discontinue DHEA
📈Monitoring & treating BOTH estradiol & progesterone deficiency has been a game-changer in reducing miscarriage risk using hormone-support-in-pregnancy protocols (not what Quest /LabCorp says are normal)
📈Most patients only need DHEA support in the first trimester
📈No sexual abnormalities in the children born after DHEA support followed out to 7 years.
📈This should only be used by practitioners trained in these protocols & someone who is trained in hormone testing & treating (most general OBs are not, just like they are not trained in IVF protocols)
📈Who should consider this? Pts with infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy complications, irregular cycles.

Thinking about having another child? I say DO IT! I hear more regret from people who decided against having more children, maybe even pursued permanent sterilization. But babies and toddlers grow and the precious gift of a child can still be obtained by many who are on the fence. Or maybe you've had health problems, miscarriages or other pregnancy complications. Come on in and let's talk about it. You may have heard Hilary Swank is pregnant at 52. Now most likely this is IVF with frozen or donor eggs, we don't know. 45-46 has been the oldest in my practice to give birth, WITHOUT IVF! Now, these pregnancies are higher risk & require close monitoring. But it is doable in some situations. I had a baby at 42 (that's her in the middle) and it was one of my healthiest pregnancies. I know financial concerns, busyness and feeling overwhelmed with your current circumstances play into it, but if you have that nagging desire that just won't go away, book your FREE Discovery Call today & let's get into it!! drpoppyandco.com 👩‍⚕️🩺😊

Do you know how many women are STILL being prescribed Depo Provera? Brain tumors are just ONE of the plethora of side effects outlined in our book. But can we just talk about hormonal birth control (all are synthetic hormones) in general?
They don't "regulate your periods" as I have explained on many an occasion. They have many side effects like anxiety, depression, breast cancer, blood clots, etc. They suppress and override your normal hormone axis. They cover-up the underlying problem. They dumb-down doctors, NPs, & PAs who then never learn how to properly evaluate women's hormone & menstrual conditions. We certainly need to do better by women that what passes for "women's health" in this country.
