Your Path to Parenthood Starts With Understanding, Not Just Treatment
You deserve a doctor who understands both the science of fertility and the emotions behind your journey. At DFW Fertility Associates, Dr. Jennifer Shannon and her team guide you every step of the way to the family you’ve been dreaming of.
WHEN WANTING A BABY BECOMES AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER
Fertility challenges can make you feel like you’re losing control of your life. Each passing month brings disappointment, while friends announce pregnancies and plan baby showers. It’s a journey, and it’s not an easy one. You might feel jealousy, bitterness, or even physical pain when confronted with others’ joy. The invasive treatments, hormone injections, and emotional strain take their toll-all with no guarantees that you’ll have a baby at the end of it. It’s understandable to be frustrated. This is why many people experience fertility fatigue
A FERTILITY PARTNER WHO TRULY LISTENS BEFORE TREATING
Dr. Jennifer Shannon approaches fertility differently. After practicing as an obstetrician gynecologist for six years, she chose to sub-specialize in reproductive endocrinology (REI) because she was very intrigued by her fertility patients’ problems and felt she didn’t have good solutions for them as an OB/GYN. As a physician, she finds it very fulfilling to have success in a challenging situation. Instead of rushing to procedures, she takes time to understand your unique situation-both medical and emotional. Dr. Shannon tends to be more direct in her communication. She prioritizes providing a lot of education, aiming for patients to know and understand on a level that’s understandable versus a textbook level, which makes the situation easier to navigate. Our evidence-based treatments are personalized to your body, your timeline, and your definition of family success. We don’t just treat infertility; we help you reclaim the joy in your journey to parenthood. Dr. Shannon prefers not to use the word ‘infertility’ because many patients aren’t infertile, they’re just struggling and need help to have a successful fertility journey.
PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLANS THAT RESPECT YOUR JOURNEY
Your body and your fertility story are unlike anyone else’s. Our advanced diagnostic approach identifies the true causes behind your challenges, allowing for precisely targeted treatments that work with your body, not against it. Dr. Shannon likes patients to have realistic expectations of outcomes and experiences. She emphasizes managing expectations and supporting patients through what can take some time to be successful with their fertility.
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AT EVERY STEP
Fertility treatment involves more than medical procedures. Dr. Shannon believes it’s really important as a physician to support people as they go through this journey. Our team provides counseling resources, support groups, and compassionate care to help you manage the emotional rollercoaster. Allow Dr. Shannon and her team to help support you through it. Bring us your emotions, bring us your feelings, and we can help you work through those, because that’s a major component to why people experience fertility fatigue – it just gets too overwhelming. Support, lean on us, and we’re here to support you through this journey. You never have to say “infertility has changed me for the worse”.
TRANSPARENT SUCCESS PATHWAYS
No false promises-just clear options and honest conversations. We explain every treatment, cost, and likely outcome so you can make informed decisions. Dr. Shannon is direct in her communication to help you have realistic expectations. When the world says “give up,” we help you find the right path forward.
