Summary
In today’s episode, we’re kicking off our new life and creativity series by discussing fertility, motherhood, and birthing new ideas. Understanding reproductive health and fertility can be a complicated topic, and in this conversation, we’re talking about family planning options for those who are considering having biological children.
Our guest is Dr. Tiffanny Jones, OBGYN and reproductive endocrinologist at Conceive Fertility Center in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Tiffanny Jones became a reproductive endocrinologist because she felt connected to the impact she could have on the lives of patients looking to start or grow their families. She earned her medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at LAC+USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, and completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
In this episode, we discuss the unique considerations Black birthing persons may want to keep in mind when trying to conceive.
We Also Talk About…
- What the egg-freezing process entails, and the ideal age to begin the process.
- How treatments such as IVF can help those experiencing certain fertility challenges.
- How conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis can impact fertility.
- Tests patients can ask for to learn more about their fertility status.
- How the occurrence of fibroids impacts Black people more than other communities.

| 0:12.0 | you sharing space with me today. So on this podcast, I produce mini seasons or series where |
| 0:18.4 | we'll focus on a central theme or topic for six weeks. And today we're kicking off our |
| 0:24.1 | new life series in honor of spring, the season of new life, and in honor of Black Maternal |
| 0:31.0 | Health Awareness. So in this series, we're going to be diving into reproductive health, fertility, |
| 0:36.8 | motherhood, supporting the mothers in our lives, and giving birth to new ideas. It's a series that's |
| 0:43.1 | been on my heart to share with you for a while. And this is probably the most thoughtful, |
| 0:49.1 | intentional series that we've put forth to date. So I really hope they are able to tune in for |
