This Week’s Episode (10.27.14): Dr. Debra Minjarez

This week’s guest is Dr. Debra Minjarez, Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist for the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine. Dr. Minjarez is also the doctor Kristin and I visited as we began our infertility treatments. On this week’s show we discuss infertility and its many contributing factors, types of treatment, Dr. Minjarez’s role not only as medical professional, but as counselor, her amusing journey into the field, as well as who gets to order the materials for aiding sperm sample collection. We make sure to cover all the bases of infertility. This is a subject that’s very near and dear to my heart not only because of my own personal experience with it, but also because it’s more common than it seems, yet rarely discussed. We should be comfortable talking about these things, and I hope discussions like this are able to help people through whatever they’re going through.

Join us Wednesday, October 29th via iTunes, Stitcher, or the Jon of All Trades homepage for this illuminating chat.
