Natalie also talks about how to advocate for yourself in the exam room, how her patients inspired parts of the book; and what she wants every fertility patient to hear right now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more, and to preorder The Fertility Formula, go to www.nataliecrawfordmd.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;IG: @nataliecrawfordmd&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;EPISODE SPONSORS: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIES&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ali&amp;#39;s Children&amp;#39;s Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://www.infertileafgroup.com/books&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART,&amp;#34; is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Order &amp;#34;Work of ART,&amp;#34; &amp;#34;Beautiful Bird&amp;#34; and &amp;#34;You Are a Work of ART,&amp;#34; now at https://www.infertileafgroup.com/books&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FERTILITY RALLY&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;IG: @fertilityrally&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;www.fertilityrally.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No one should go through infertility alone.

Description

On this week's episode, Ali sits down with an icon and pioneer in the infertility community: double-board certified REI and infertility warrior Dr. Natalie Crawford. Natalie opens up about her four pregnancy losses before having her two kiddos, being both sides of the stirrups as doctor and patient, and what it's really like to navigate infertility as someone who “knows too much.” She talks about bucking the system when it came to social media; co-founding her boutique clinic in Austin, TX, Fora Fertility (and why she decided to start her own thing); and her new book, The Fertility Formula. Natalie also talks about how to advocate for yourself in the exam room, how her patients inspired parts of the book; and what she wants every fertility patient to hear right now.
