Infertility 101-Types Of Therapy

If you watch the evening news programs, you would think that everyone who goes to an advanced fertility center receives the sophisticated, complex, ultra-risky, ultra-expensive, fancy, high-tech treatments. They don't. Most of our patients have had either no treatment, or only clomiphene. Often, all they need is careful monitoring, inseminations with their husband's sperm, and an Injectable FSH (Gonal-f).

Our therapy ranges from the basic to the high-tech treatments commonly referred to as IVF or "test-tube babies" (even though no test tube is used). Most of our therapy is for Endometriosis, Ovulation Disorders, Ovulation Inductions, Tubal Disease, Cervical Factor and Unexplained Infertility. Additionally, we treat a great many couples where the male has an abnormally low sperm count. We have a Donor Egg/Sperm program and offer ICSI and Blastocyst Transfer for patients in need of this special care.
