Your body. Your questions. Real answers.
Clear, Candid, Unfiltered response to everything you wish came up with your provider. Because you deserve more than a 15-minute visit.
There’s a lot of noise out there when it comes to reproductive health.
Clickbait headlines, confusing medical jargon, rushed clinic visits, and well-meaning advice that doesn’t always match the facts.
But when patients across the country ask me about abnormal bleeding, contraception, pap smears, PCOS, or pain—they’re not looking for buzzwords or scare tactics. You want clear, honest answers. And you deserve them.
That’s what this space is for.
I’m a board-certified OB/GYN with over a decade of experience caring for patients in big cities, small towns, and everywhere in between. I’ve helped people through pregnancy losses, birth control decisions, postmenopausal bleeding scares, and everything you can imagine in a pelvic exam room.
This section breaks down the most common questions I hear—minus the medical speak and judgment.
✔️ Straightforward, evidence-based info
✔️ Answers to the questions you actually want to ask
✔️ Resources that respect your autonomy and your intelligence

Could It Be Fibroids? A Patient’s Guide to Symptoms and Treatment.
If you have heavy or long periods, painful periods (or general pelvic pain, presure, difficulty with urination and bowel movements), or difficulty getting pregnant or staying pregnant, have a conversation with your OBGYN provider about your symptoms. Fibroids can be felt on exam, but a pelvic ultrasound is the best way to diagnose them. (Transvaginal ultrasound, where the ultrasound probe is placed in the vagina, gives the best pictures of the uterus and pelvis. Sometimes your provider will follow up the ultrasound with a saline-infused-sonogram (an ultrasound with water pumped into the uterus) to get better pictures of the inside lining or an MRI (usually for surgical planning).
Do I Need to Be Induced for Fetal Growth Restriction?
The most concerning thing that can happen to a growth-restricted baby is stillbirth (dying in the womb). But sometimes your baby is healthy, but just small!
You should talk with your pregnancy provider about any other conditions that increase the risks of complications for you or your baby (e.g. high blood pressure, too much or too little amniotic fluid, kidney disease), or if there are any other abnormal findings on your baby’s ultrasounds.
