Story Starters

Four stories waiting to be written.

She was told he couldn't get pregnant. She was pregnant the next month.

A verdict delivered at an annual visit, without a workup, and the company a former investment bank CFO built because of it.

The OB/GYN is medicine's last generalist. These founders think that's the problem.

A minutes-long visit cannot hold fertility, hyperemesis, anemia, and postpartum. The case for specialization in women's health, argued by a midwife, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, and a banker.

The IVF cliff: your fertility clinic graduates you at ten weeks. Then who has you?

Reproductive medicine's best-funded specialty hands its patients to no one in particular. The bridge now exists in the West Village.

"Go to the ER" is the default prescription for early pregnancy. A West Village storefront is testing the alternative.

Half of Materna's visits are booked and completed within a day.
