“How supportive the partner is, is a huge aspect to this — if they have an unsupportive partner who’s just along for the ride, that can be very challenging.”
Dr. Micah Hill joins fertilyfe, recorded live at MRSi 2026, to talk about the stress-and-infertility myth that won’t die, and why no single factor explains the full weight of the IVF experience.
Dr. Hill is the Deputy Editor of Fertility + Sterility, the clinical journal of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and a reproductive endocrinologist at Shady Grove Fertility.

“The future of fertility will…” — that’s the question Dr. Angie Beltsos posed to our panel on innovation in the patient experience.
My answer: innovation isn’t always a new device or a breakthrough technology. Sometimes the most powerful innovation is empathy. I know because I lived it.
When I was told my prognosis was “futile,” I had two choices — be a passenger in my own tragedy, or become the CEO of my fertility treatment. Empathy and support are what make that possible. They’re what turn a clinical process into a human one.
