On-site In Vitro fertilization (IVF) is rapidly becoming the most popular choice of treatment for couples with various types of infertility. It is generally accepted as the most successful and fastest method available to achieve pregnancy.

While it was initially reserved for patients with blocked, damaged, or absent fallopian tubes (tubal factor infertility), IVF is now also used to overcome infertility caused by endometriosis, male factor issues, diminished egg quality, ovulatory problems, or other unexplained reasons.

IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies have enabled thousands of otherwise infertile couples to have genetically related children. IVF at its initial beginnings was the “stuff of science fiction”, but it has evolved into a common, and often first line, treatment for infertility. IVF success rates have steadily improved to the IVF Clinicpoint where almost half of couples undergoing IVF will conceive. This percentage is higher or lower for individual couples based upon many factors including female age, cause(s) of infertility, previous treatments, the chosen IVF clinics success rates, etc. (more…)

Diagnostic or Operative Laparoscopy

A minimally invasive outpatient surgical procedure using 2-3 small holes made through the umbilicus and abdominal wall allowing passage of a telescope camera and instruments into the abdominal cavity and pelvis while the patient is under general anesthesia. This procedure is recommended for patients who may have any number of conditions that affect the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries.

If infertility has been longstanding for many years, or a woman has a medical history suspicious for an abnormality of the pelvis, an evaluation with laparoscopy may be warranted. Operative laparoscopy (more…)
