Prima

At Prima, we know a patient's fertility journey is more than just a set of numbers and results on a screen. In latest blog series, Fertility Journeys Beyond the Case Files, Jenni Quilter, the author of Hatching: Experiments in Motherhood and Technology (2022), has interviewed five women who went through different pathways to build a family. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing their unique experiences going through IVF on our online blog library. Check out our first article, which includes an excerpt from Hatching, below: https://lnkd.in/eRigjsRB

Many of our patients have asked about how they can continue to incorporate movement into their lives during IVF. We wanted to help. So, we teamed up with obé Fitness, an online workout platform specializing in women’s health, to help our patients continue to embrace the joy of movement throughout their fertility journey. The team at obé has designed Workouts for Preconception, a movement series built with Prima patients in mind. Prima patients get complimentary extended access to the series- letting us provide a little extra support throughout their fertility journey. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eFQVYxRG

In the final release of our interview series, “What I Wish I Knew Before Egg Freezing,” Mariana Fernández at Peloton Interactive and Dr. Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group talk about how to make injections easier, the recovery process, and what options patients have after egg freezing. The Prima team is grateful for their expertise, and we're excited to share this content with our patients and anyone who might be interested in the egg freezing process.

In the latest release of our interview series, Mariana Fernández at Peloton Interactive and Dr. Jason Kofinas at Kofinas Fertility Group sit down to demystify the egg freezing experience. Mariana and Dr. Kofinas discuss improvements in genetic testing technology, why providers might prescribe birth control prior to a patient's cycle, and how patients can fit egg freezing into a calendar packed with travel plans, work projects, or even marathon training.

We know that fertility treatment can be taxing. Over 50% of people undergoing treatment experience symptoms of depression, and over 75% experience anxiety. That’s why we’ve partnered with Alma to bring expert mental health care to our patients. Patients can search through Alma’s directory of over 20,000 therapists to find specialized support for fertility treatment that's covered by their insurance.

IVF and egg freezing come with complexities, heightened emotions, and a lack of clear information. We’re here to change the process with education that patients can wrap their heads around- with the help of Mariana Fernández, a yoga and running instructor at Peloton Interactive, and Kofinas Fertility Group. Having gone through egg freezing herself, Mariana understands how confusing the process can be and wants to help answer the questions she had as a patient. In this interview series, Mariana interviews Dr. Jason Kofinas about the questions she wished she had asked before egg freezing. Check out the first three parts in the links below, and stay tuned as we drop the next posts in this nine-part series: Part 1: What I Wish I Knew Before Egg Freezing: https://lnkd.in/eNyxHKGJ Part 2: Should I Freeze Eggs or Embryos: https://lnkd.in/ebqYMu8Q Part 3: When Should I Freeze My Eggs: https://lnkd.in/eX9S6ziK
