Welcome to Fertility and Sterility Roundtable, hosted by Dr. Emily Barnard and Dr. Ben Peipert! Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility and Sterility.
Today, we will be discussing the Fertile Battle from the February issue of Fertility and Sterility which is entitled “Should you do ultrasound monitoring and trigger for intrauterine insemination cycles? We are joined by two of the authors, Dr. Cassie Hobbs who will be taking the “pro” side in favor of ultrasound monitoring, and Dr. Lindsay Hartup, who will be arguing to do away with ultrasound monitoring.
Dr. Cassie Hobbs is a second-year Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed her OB/GYN residency training at Brown University and received her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine. She is passionate about examining disparities that exist in reproductive medicine and taking steps to make family building a more equitable process for all.
Dr. Lindsay Hartup is a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She completed medical school and Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at the University of Texas Health San Antonio. Her research interests are fertility preservation/oncofertility, assisted reproductive technology, and chronic endometritis.
