Investigation Process
Many couples may encounter struggles when conceiving and have no idea how to address them. Often, they are left confused and overwhelmed because they don’t fully understand the challenges they are facing. Our team is here to help you uncover where your difficulties lie when conceiving a child. Through our investigative process, we use various advanced testing methods to determine the cause of your fertility struggles and develop a plan to overcome them. You can count on us to provide the care and attention you need as you undergo treatment.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In vitro fertilization is usually the next step when first-line fertility treatments are not successful. In this process, eggs are collected from the mother’s uterus or an egg donor. The collected eggs are then fertilized in the lab using the father’s sperm or the sperm of a donor, which creates embryos. These embryos are then implanted into the mother, who will carry the baby to term.
Endometrial Receptivity Test
Transferring an embryo from the lab to the mother’s uterus for conception is a complicated procedure that requires very precise timing. Otherwise, the body may not be ready to accept the fertilized egg, which could result in implantation failure. We can complete an endometrial receptivity test to determine the best time for embryo transfer, increasing the chance of success.
Ovulation Induction
Ovulation induction may be an effective treatment for those women who experience irregular ovulation or none at all. This treatment option uses medication to stimulate ovulation, helping to create better opportunities to conceive naturally or collect eggs for IVF treatment.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI treatment is often one of the first fertility treatments recommend for those facing unexplained challenges in conceiving. This in-office procedure facilitates conception by providing a path for specially prepared sperm to enter a woman’s uterus through a catheter. The sperm then naturally fertilizes the egg in the fallopian tube.
Donor Egg IVF
In some cases, donor eggs are required to produce a baby. This is necessary for women who do not have viable eggs due to advanced age or a health problem or for gay men who wish to start a family. The donor egg IVF process uses a donor egg, fertilizes it in a lab, and then implants it into the uterus of the mother or surrogate, who will carry the baby until birth.
Gestational Carrier
There are some cases where women are either unable or do not wish to carry a child until birth. In these cases, a gestational carrier, or surrogate, may be suggested. During this process, an embryo is implanted into the surrogate, who will then carry and deliver the baby.
Egg Freezing
Unfortunately, women have a finite number of years in which they can produce eggs. This can put a lot of pressure on women to have a baby by a certain age. With egg freezing, you can freeze and preserve your eggs until you are ready to start your family, so there’s no rush.
IVF Genetic Testing
Chromosomal abnormalities can play a large role in infertility and unsuccessful implantation of embryos. Before an IVF cycle, we can complete preimplantation genetic testing to identify any genetic or chromosomal defect in an embryo that may prevent a successful cycle. This will help to improve your chances of successful implantation and a healthy baby.
Donor Sperm
Donor sperm may be required to help lesbian couples or couples experiencing male infertility to conceive a baby. We can help you through the process of choosing donor sperm to use in your fertility treatments.
Embryo Freezing
Following a successful IVF cycle, many patients have extra embryos that they did not need. These embryos can be frozen and preserved to help you conceive a second child in the future.
Genetic Screening
If you have a family history of a genetic disorder, there may be a chance you are a carrier and could pass it on to your future children. We provide genetic screening to evaluate whether you or your partner are potentially a carrier, which helps you reduce the chances of your child inheriting the disorder.
Male Infertility
Male infertility is just as common as female infertility, which means it’s important to focus treatment on both partners. Our team can complete testing to determine if male infertility is a contributing factor to conception challenges and then develop a plan to help overcome the issues.
Second Opinions
Fertility treatments are complex and expensive, so it’s essential that you trust your doctor’s expertise and knowledge. If you’ve already seen another fertility specialist or have experienced a failed treatment, we can provide a second opinion to give you confidence that you’re on the right track in your fertility journey.
