Infertility

Infertility is a relatively common condition affecting approximately 10% of couples of reproductive age. The incidence of infertility seems to be increasing as more couples are seeking treatment because of heightened awareness of the condition.

Also, more and more OB/GYN's are quickly referring their infertile patients to infertility specialists. "Time" is often the greatest enemy of fertility.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization, IVF, have enabled thousands of otherwise infertile couples to have genetically related children. This is especially true in cases of male infertility where previously there was no hope of conception.

"In vitro" literally translated means "fertilization outside of the body" which is where fertilization occurs in an IVF cycle.

IVF consists of many stages and is performed by a highly trained team of professionals including our physicians, embryologists, nurses, and associated staff members.

There are many causes of infertility that are all discussed in detail throughout our Web site. Quite often, there are two or more factors contributing to a couple's infertility.

The causes of infertility are broken down into categories based upon the "organ system" that is effected.
