Dr. Natalie Crawford answers fertility questions exclusively from newsletter subscribers.

Questions Answered:

1. I was on the birth control pill for 13 years and now have irregular periods. My doctor wants me to start Clomid without any testing. Is this okay?
2. Can we get a fertility workup before age 35 if we haven't been trying for a full year?
3. What are the fertility options for women with a balanced translocation?
4. Is obesity a reason for infertility? My doctor won't refer me to a fertility specialist until my BMI is under 30.
5. How long does it take for sperm counts to recover after getting sick with the flu or a virus?
6. What causes endometriomas?
