I rarely comment but I am so upset that you have haters and negative comments. Your videos are so helpful and you are so easy to understand and listen to. You’ve been a balm in our fertility journey.

[catandvolleylvr]

My husband and I have recently started trying to conceive, and I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know about my own body until I started watching your videos. Thank you so much for helping to educate us about our beautiful bodies!!! You are making a real difference ❤️

[darcym]

I just wanted to say how incredibly helpful your videos are. I am so sorry that you have dealt with negative people! Please know how valued this information is, and we are so grateful for you x

[dainvigilant]

Thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to help people that really values your advice. People pay a lot of money to heard what you're sharing for free! This is because you love what you do! Don't worry about the haters because they are going to do just that. Again THANK YOU!!

[modiglianilover]

Why would you have haters? This is ridiculous. Great channel, lots of well contextualized and scientifically based information. I personally appreciate your dynamic and that you always say if something is controversial or has split medical opinions. Also one can see how passionate you are on the subject (on top of being skilled).

[hchan]

I had infertility issues before I conceived my first child. I’ve been watching your videos from the start because I want to be better educated on infertility especially since I want another addition to my family. Your videos are so comforting and educating!

[c.h]

Love all of your videos. They help me so so much with making the right decisions and help me understand fertility. There will always be haters on youtube but remember that their opinion is not more valued than the people that love your videos. Look after yourself and I see many youtubers taking short breaks to look after themselves. The haters are just jealous because you are both beautiful and very intelligent.

[Lena-qcjz]

How come you have haters? Don't listen to anybody, you are awesome! I'm so grateful for your work! I realized I didn't know so much about my body.

[ermieburns]

Screw the haters! Your videos have been so educational!

[KendallBrookes]

Would you do a video on secondary fertility and causes and recommendations? I had my son 5 years ago with no issues getting pregnant but haven’t been able to get pregnant since… except for last year my OB did a Clomid round where I got pregnant and miscarried. I do ovulate every month from temps and ovulation kits…. But can’t afford to go to a fertility clinic. Would love a video on tips for secondary infertility!

[mariewesthott]

Currently going through IVF, and just want to say that your videos have helped greatly!
Super educational and they make this difficult journey so much easier!
Also love the vaccine vids you have done... I had a few reservations over getting it while TTC/pregs, but the vids have really eased my worries!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos 💜

[BoardroomtoBounceHouse]

I can’t believe you have haters! I mean I know all of us YouTubers have haters but geez you are helping so many people and providing value so I can’t imagine why they gotta hate! ❤️

[evapitts]

Thank you for coming back and making this video. This video was very helpful ❤️

[kristinaperrin]

Love your videos. We both have infertility factors. My husband did TRT for only 1month and went from a normal semen analysis to zero sperm count. Now he is on clomid and it's taking even longer to start the ivf process.

[joycekim]

Could you explain BBT after ovulation and if an increase of BBT is directly correlated to pregnancy or not?

[Stephymo]

I’m turning 36 this year. I have been trying for 18 months. I had a miscarriage back in September and it’s been hard to get pregnant again. My doctor said not to worry because 35 yrs old means nothing now. Idk. I still believe I need more help since I’m turning 36. Sigh

[sharonkraut]

I have been tracking my cycle the past few months. What is known as a short luteal phase before getting an evaluation? I have noticed that my luteal phase is around 11 or 12 days long. Is this long enough for TTC?

[shanamorris]

Hi Doctor, do you mind explaining why there is such intense cramps during early pregnancy? Went to the ER and told there was no issues. Just hormones and uterus expanding but it keeps me up at night. I can't get a good quality sleep. Thank you.

[jst]

Could you please speak a little about problems with Fallopian tubes? I’ve had 2 HSGs and my tubes are open, but their position are both up and not to the side like they should be naturally. I was told surgery to see if they are attached to something and if not, then there’s nothing they can do. 🥺 I would really appreciate to hear your thoughts

[Sakura]

Hi Dr.Crawford, I was wondering if you could make a video about fibroids and fertility. Thank you!
