Angela Thyer, MD knows ovaries. Want to understand yours?
Your fertility path in focus.
"You can't control the outcome. You can control how prepared you are for it."
Hundreds of PCOS patients. Ovulating without IVF.
The short version
Two decades caring for women through fertility, irregular cycles, and perimenopause. First as faculty at the University of Washington, then as a co-founding partner of Seattle Reproductive Medicine, and through the Food for Fertility program I built with dietitian Judy Simon.
I've been through IVF myself, twice. I know what it feels like to sit with uncertainty and want it to stop. To want to be on the other side of this, raising a family.
I want you to know what I know.
The research exists. Most of it never makes it into a fifteen-minute appointment, and what fills the gap is usually someone selling something. I translate it instead.
Fertility is what I'm known for, but my work doesn't stop there. I see women navigating PCOS, unexplained infertility, IVF, egg freezing decisions, perimenopause, and the metabolic shifts that come with each of those. If it involves your hormones or your ovaries, I've probably spent twenty years reading about it.

What most women actually need is one honest conversation.
A lot of women put off that first fertility appointment because they're afraid of what they'll hear. That they need IVF. That it's going to cost $20,000.
So they wait. Hope this month is different. Put their name on a clinic waitlist and sit with the uncertainty for weeks.
I got a master's in behavioural science because fertility decisions are genuinely hard in a specific way. Should I freeze my eggs? Is now the right time for IVF? Do I wait one more month or call a clinic today? More information doesn't always help. What helps is having a physician who understands both the biology and the decision, and can sit with you while you think it through.
You don't have to wait to get answers. An educational consultation with me isn't a fertility clinic appointment. There's no pressure, no protocol, no bill from an insurance department you don't understand. It's an hour with a physician who'll tell you what's going on and what your options are. And what you can do this month, whether that's a lifestyle change, a specific test to ask for, or yes, a referral to the right clinic.
You'll leave knowing exactly what your next step is. That's the whole point of the hour.
Educational consultation only. No physician-patient relationship is created. I cannot order labs, prescribe medications, or provide medical advice. Always work with your licensed care team for clinical decisions. Available to women in all 50 states.
- Plain-language walkthrough of your existing lab results

PCOS is the most common and most treatable cause of fertility struggles. It was recently renamed PMOS, or Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, to better reflect what's actually going on in the body. Updated science, what the name change means, and what to do with it.

Judy and I wrote the book we couldn't find.
Co-authored with reproductive nutritionist Judy Simon, Getting to Baby distills the food-first approach we developed at the Food for Fertility program, where we documented an ~80% natural conception rate among women with PCOS.
"If you're looking for fertility-friendly advice on nutrition with an evidence-based approach, look no further. I am thrilled to have this resource to recommend to my patients."
