Dr. Jerisa Berry, an ER doctor, didn’t pay much attention to her biological clock until it was time to start a family. By that time, her chances of conceiving naturally were slim. Studies show that women over 35 have a more difficult time conceiving naturally and should visit a fertility specialist if they have not successfully conceived after trying for six months.
Studies show that women over 35 have a more difficult time conceiving naturally and should visit a fertility specialist if they have not successfully conceived after trying for six months. Dr. Jerisa was astutely aware of her chances of conceiving and sought assistance from a fertility specialist immediately after trying for six months. Her experience with infertility helped her realize the lack of awareness around this growing issue. Her experience led her to create an app that would help bring more awareness to women understanding their fertility status.
Her experience with infertility helped her realize the lack of awareness around this growing issue and led her to create an app that would help bring more awareness to women understanding their fertility status and making the AMH test (a blood test that gives women information about their ovarian reserve) more widely accessible.
Dr. Jerisa and I talk about her medical and business background, how she discovered her infertility issues, how she approached seeking medical treatment and how the idea of developing the app and making the AMH test more widely available came about.
And of course, we talk about some of the legal hurdles she faced in starting this new aspect of her business.
