Dara Godfrey, MS RD, Nutritionist at RMA of New York, discusses the importance of a balanced diet during fertility treatment and pregnancy. Some patients that struggle with an endocrine system hormone imbalance, like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), might benefit from nutritional counseling. Both male and female patients should reduce caffeine and alcohol consumption and focus on a diet packed with fruits, vegetables, protein, Omega-3s, and one source of full fat dairy per day. Dara also recommends drinking lots of water and taking a vitamin supplement when trying to conceive.

Miscarriage

Dr. Benjamin Sandler, Infertility Specialist at RMA of New York, discusses miscarriage and recurrent pregnancy loss, including the patient evaluation process and fertility treatment options. A fertility doctor will examine the patient's uterus to rule out uterine factors for recurrent pregnancy loss. This can be done via hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or by performing a saline sonogram. Dr. Sandler also describes how chromosomal abnormalities can cause miscarriage. In vitro fertilization (IVF) with pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) may be able to address genetic causes of miscarriage.
