During my first appointment at the Stanford Fertility and Reproductive Medicine Center in Palo Alto, I showed the fertility expert, Dr. Westphal, my hormone levels (estradiol, progesterone, FSH, and LH) from the tests I'd had done by my primary care physician. Those looked "excellent," so Dr. Westphal then conducted a baseline ultrasound to ensure that my ovaries were producing a healthy number of follicles. All systems go: I was a great candidate for egg freezing. No more excuses. It was officially time to take control of my fertility and my destiny.
