Treatments and Options on Your Fertility Journey

Every fertility journey is unique. Your specific fertility factors will inform your personalized care plan. However, there are common elements that virtually everyone undergoing fertility treatments will experience.

Guidance and Support from a Caring Team

All our board-certified doctors have extensive experience in diagnosing causes of infertility and developing personalized treatment plans to optimize your chance of success.

Getting To Know Your Goals

Fertility treatments are not limited to medical interventions only — the fertility journey starts by understanding your plan for expanding your family. Single parents, same-sex couples, women interested in fertility preservation options, couples seeking egg/sperm donors, and those interested in pursuing surrogacy all have unique pathways to parenthood. Our compassionate team of doctors begins by getting to know you and your family planning goals. These are the very first steps when considering which treatments to recommend.

Understanding the Cause

Infertility can be a challenging and emotional experience for many couples. However, understanding the root cause of infertility can be the first step towards finding a solution. Our fertility center offers comprehensive testing and evaluation to determine the reason behind your infertility, so we can provide personalized treatment options.

A Typical Path

Your doctor’s goal will always be to start with the least invasive methods to support your chances of getting pregnant and delivering a healthy baby. Depending on your unique factors, you may begin at any point along the following path, and your doctor may recommend a combination of these options.

Fertility medications with intercourse

Your doctor may prescribe Clomiphene Citrate (“Clomid”) or Letrozole (“Femara”) to stimulate your ovaries while continuing to have intercourse with your partner. Understanding your ovulation cycle and making minor lifestyle changes to support healthy eggs and sperm can help your chances of success.

Fertility medications combined with IUI

After taking a round of ovarian stimulating medications, your doctor will perform an IUI. During this procedure the doctor will bypass your cervix and place sperm directly in your uterus at the time of ovulation. When combining fertility medications with IUI, our goal is to stimulate your ovaries to produce mature follicles that will maximize your chance of conception.

Surgery

After taking a round of ovarian stimulating medications, your doctor will perform an IUI. During this procedure the doctor will bypass your cervix and place sperm directly in your uterus at the time of ovulation. When combining fertility medications with IUI, our goal is to stimulate your ovaries to produce mature follicles that will maximize your chance of conception.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

IVF is a highly effective form of assisted reproduction that can help bring your dreams of parenthood to life. Our experienced team will guide you through the IVF process, from egg retrieval and fertilization to embryo freezing and subsequent embryo transfer. We’re also proud leaders in Elective Single Embryo Transfer (eSET), which helps maximize the chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Additional Paths on Your Road to Parenthood

Growing your family is a personal journey. There are many options to consider and your doctor will help you determine which of these may be right for you.

Embryo Donation

Embryo donation is a process where a couple or individual donates unused embryos from their fertility treatment to another couple or individual. It’s a generous act that provides hope for those struggling with infertility and allows for the creation of a new family. If you’re interested in learning more about embryo donation, please discuss with your doctor for more information.

Adoption

Adoption is a beautiful way for individuals or couples to start a family and provide a loving home to a child in need.
