“The Science of Getting Knocked Up” by Dr. Miriam Krause 

Description: We all know that sperm + egg = baby, but that’s an oversimplification of a very complex biological process. In her presentation, “The Science of Getting Knocked Up,” fertility expert Dr. Miriam Krause will talk about how the sperm and egg function, and how they come together (literally) to make a tiny human. She’ll also share myths and facts about pregnancy, and talk about what help is available (like IVF) if it turns out you can’t get knocked up naturally.

Bio: Dr. Miriam Krause is a board-certified OB/GYN as well as board-certified reproductive endocrinologist. She completed her fellowship training at the University of Louisville and currently works at a private practice here in Louisville called “Fertility and Endocrine Associates”.
