Methodology & sources

How this record was built.

Every figure on this site follows a fixed counting rule, and every claim links to where it can be checked. This page states those rules once, so they do not need repeating on every page they touch.

The headline figures, defined

~0/yr

IVF, IUI & FET treatment cycles at the program’s peak · cycles performed, not pregnancies or births

Publications & abstracts documented on this site, of 45+ across her full career · “Selected records,” not the complete bibliography

Treatment cycles

01One cycle, one attemptA cycle is one completed round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) or of frozen embryo transfer (FET). It is counted whether or not it produced a pregnancy.DefinitionClinical Work ↗

02Cycles performed, not outcomesThe figure of roughly six hundred a year counts treatment cycles led at the program’s peak. It does not count pregnancies, live births, or any other clinical outcome.Rule

03No promise of outcomeNothing on this site should be read as a statistic about the likelihood of a pregnancy or a birth. Every treatment plan is individual.Boundary

The clinic, in the past tense

For more than a decade she led a full-service fertility center in the United States. Every reference to that clinic on this site, its patients, its laboratory, its procedures, is written in the past tense: she led it. She does not currently lead a clinic of that kind.

Licensure, and why telemedicine

She is licensed to practise in all fifty US states, the District of Columbia and Guam, as well as Trinidad and Tobago and Rwanda. That licensure is stated here as the reason her current practice can operate as telemedicine across state and national lines, not as a figure to be admired on its own.

SOURCING RULE Every claim traces to a primary source. Where a verifiable public record exists, a journal, a library catalogue, a conference program, a broadcaster’s own page, this site links directly to it. Where no such record exists yet, the claim is not published.
