HELPING WOMEN SET A PATH TOWARD MOTHERHOOD
Family planning is an exciting life chapter, but many women experience challenges that delay or prevent wanted pregnancy. Fertility issues are relatively common—1 in 6 couples struggle to conceive naturally. Infertility is typically diagnosed after a couple is unable to get pregnant after having unprotected sex for one full year, or six months for women 35 and older. Whether you have a diagnosis of infertility or are concerned that you are infertile or have a gynecologic condition or medical condition you are concerned may impact your fertility, our skilled physicians are here to work with you to determine the best path for safely and successfully conceiving a child.
Our Fertility Treatments
We offer several in-house options for initial steps to diagnose and treat infertility:
- Pre-Pregnancy and Fertility Counseling: Pre-pregnancy counseling can help women prepare for a healthy pregnancy by addressing any potential health issues and lifestyle factors that may impact fertility. Additionally, our providers offer patients with information about their reproductive health and the factors that can impact fertility.
- Fertility Ultrasounds: Fertility ultrasounds are used to evaluate the health and function of a woman's reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. These ultrasounds can help diagnose conditions that may impact fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and uterine fibroids and tubal patency.
- Oral Medications: Oral medications can be prescribed by our providers to help induce ovulation in women who have difficulty ovulating regularly.
- IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): IUI is used to treat infertility in couples who have difficulty conceiving due to low sperm count, decreased sperm motility, or issues with ovulation. IUI can also be used in cases of unexplained infertility. During an IUI procedure, sperm is collected and washed to remove any seminal fluid. The sperm is then placed directly into the uterus using a small catheter. This is typically done around the time of ovulation, when the woman's egg is released from the ovary.
- Male Fertility Evaluation: Male factor infertility constitutes 25-30% of cases of infertility. Our practice’s offer semen analysis evaluation to assess the quality and quantity of sperm and when this is identified, can devise a treatment plan.
