Fertility Treatments
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
In vitro fertilization is a process in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, after which one or more embryos are transferred into the uterus. IVF is used when less invasive fertility treatments haven’t been successful or for issues like blocked tubes, low sperm quality, or age-related infertility, gender selection, egg donation, and surrogacy.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
ICSI is often recommended for low sperm count or poor motility and can be part of an IVF cycle. A single sperm is selected from a washed sample and injected directly into the egg to enable fertilization.
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
Intrauterine insemination is a simple procedure where washed sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation. It increases the chances of fertilization by helping more sperm reach the egg. IUI is often used for mild male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, or when using donor sperm.
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
Frozen embryo transfer is a fertility procedure where a previously frozen embryo is placed into the uterus during a preplanned cycle. It is used when embryos were previously preserved during an IVF cycle or when a delayed transfer is preferred. The FET cycle allows the uterus to be prepared independently of the egg retrieval cycle.
Mini IVF & Natural IVF
Mini IVF and Natural IVF are low-stimulation IVF approaches. Mini IVF uses low doses of fertility medication to produce a few eggs within the same cycle. Natural IVF follows the body’s natural cycle and retrieves the single egg that naturally matures. Both are options for patients who want minimal medication or have a lower ovarian reserve.
Gender Selection (Family Balancing)
Gender selection, also known as family balancing, allows parents to choose the sex of their baby before pregnancy. During IVF, embryos are tested using PGT-A to identify the sex chromosomes. This option is commonly used by parents who already have children and want to select the opposite sex for their next child.
Tubal Reversal Surgery
Tubal reversal is a surgical option for patients who had their tubes tied and want to become pregnant naturally. A fertility surgeon reconnects the healthy portions of the fallopian tubes using microsurgical techniques. It gives some patients a chance to conceive without assisted reproduction.
Third-Party Reproduction
Egg Donation
Egg donation is an option for patients who are unable to conceive using their own eggs. Donor eggs are fertilized with sperm from a partner or donor through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and a resulting embryo is transferred to the patient’s uterus. Donors are FDA screened and tested for medical and genetic conditions before approval.
Sperm Donation
Sperm donation is used when a male partner has no viable sperm or when there is no male partner. Donor sperm is used in procedures like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Donors are FDA screened and tested for infectious and genetic conditions before approval.
Embryo Donation
Embryo donation involves using embryos created by other patients through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and then donating them for use by someone else. The embryo is transferred to the uterus of the recipient to help them achieve pregnancy. Donors are FDA-approved, and the embryos are typically from patients who have completed their families.
Gestational Surrogacy
Gestational surrogacy is a form of assisted reproduction where a surrogate carries a pregnancy for someone else. The embryo is created using the intended parents’ or donors’ eggs and sperm through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child.
Surrogacy for Same-Sex Couples
Surrogacy allows male couples to have a child using donor eggs and a gestational surrogate. Embryos are created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and transferred to the surrogate. One or both partners can provide sperm for a biological connection.
LGBTQ+ Family Planning Options
We provide fertility care for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, including donor sperm, donor eggs, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and gestational surrogacy. Treatment depends on the individual's medical needs, the type of family structure, and whether donor material or a surrogate is required.
Donor Screening and FDA Requirements
All donors of eggs, sperm, and embryos must meet FDA regulations before donation. Screening includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and testing for infectious diseases. Eligibility is determined in accordance with federal guidelines to ensure the safety of recipients.
Fertility Preservation
Egg Freezing
Egg freezing allows patients to preserve their fertility by collecting and storing eggs for future use. The eggs are retrieved after hormonal stimulation and frozen in the IVF laboratory using vitrification. It is commonly chosen by women who plan to have children later in life or before starting treatments like chemotherapy.
Sperm Freezing
Sperm freezing allows men to store sperm samples for future fertility use. The sample is collected, analyzed, and then frozen in the IVF laboratory using cryopreservation techniques. Men often freeze sperm before starting chemotherapy, vasectomy, or IVF.
Embryo Cryopreservation
Embryos created during IVF can be frozen and stored for future use. After fertilization, the highest-quality embryos are selected and frozen in the IVF laboratory using a vitrification technique. Patients often freeze embryos after IVF and continue treatment when they’re ready.
Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients
Cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation can damage fertility. Patients may freeze eggs, sperm, or embryos before starting therapy. Ovarian tissue preservation may be offered when treatment must begin right away or when stimulation isn’t safe. A referral to a fertility specialist should happen as soon as cancer is diagnosed.
Fertility Testing & Genetic Screening
Female Fertility Evaluation
Female fertility evaluation includes reviewing menstrual history, assessing ovulation patterns, measuring hormone levels (AMH, FSH, LH, estradiol, TSH, prolactin), and evaluating ovarian reserve. Transvaginal ultrasound is used to count follicles and assess the uterus. A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) may be done to check if the fallopian tubes are open. These tests help identify any hormonal, structural, or ovulatory issues that may affect the ability to conceive.
Male Fertility Evaluation
Male fertility evaluation primarily focuses on semen analysis to assess sperm count, motility, and morphology. Hormone testing may include FSH, LH, testosterone, and prolactin. A physical exam and scrotal ultrasound can detect issues like varicocele or obstruction. Results can show whether the problem is hormonal, structural, or related to sperm production.
Hormonal Testing (AMH, FSH)
Hormonal testing measures levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to evaluate ovarian reserve. AMH reflects the number of resting follicles, while FSH shows how the body responds at the start of the cycle. Results give insight into egg supply and how the ovaries may respond to stimulating medication.
HSG (Hysterosalpingogram)
A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an X-ray test that shows the shape of the uterus and whether the fallopian tubes are open. A contrast dye is gently injected through the cervix, and images are taken to check for blockages or abnormalities. This test helps identify causes of infertility related to the tubes or the uterine cavity.
Ex-Em Foam Tubal Sonography
Similar to an HSG, an echogenic solution is gently injected into the uterine cavity, and the flow through the fallopian tubes is observed. This method allows for the evaluation of tubal patency without exposure to X-rays and is used as an alternative to a hysterosalpingogram.
PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)
PGT-A is a test performed during in vitro fertilization (IVF) to check if embryos have the correct number of chromosomes. A few cells are biopsied from each embryo and analyzed in a genetic laboratory. The goal is to identify embryos most likely to result in a healthy pregnancy.
PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single Gene Disorders)
PGT-M is used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) to screen embryos for specific inherited conditions caused by a single gene mutation. A few cells are biopsied from each embryo and analyzed in a genetic laboratory. This test is recommended for individuals or couples who carry a known genetic disorder, such as cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs disease.
Extended Genetic Carrier Screening
Carrier screening evaluates if a person is a carrier of single-gene mutations that could be passed to their child. The extended panels test for hundreds of inherited conditions, including cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and Fragile X syndrome. Testing is done through a blood or saliva sample and is recommended before starting in vitro fertilization (IVF) or trying to conceive.
