Infertility Information

Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant after one year of normal intercourse with no contraception. Approximately one out of six couples in the United States struggles with infertility during their childbearing years.

With the advent of new medical procedures, couples who otherwise might not be able to conceive on their own are now able to create the family they so desire.

Chances are that you have already talked with your gynecologist about trying to improve your chances of getting pregnant, and, perhaps you know the roadblock that is preventing you from achieving your dreams.

Several diagnoses can preclude you from getting pregnant. Those include, but are not limited to  endometriosis, egg quality issues, advanced maternal age, male factor issues such as a low or zero sperm count, uterine abnormalities, or previous surgeries, infections or injuries.

At The Fertility Center, we see patients each day with medical issues such as these. Being a well-informed patient will help to ease your concerns, and will give you a realistic expectation as to an outcome of Assisted Reproductive Technologies such as In Vitro Fertilization and ZIFT. We hope the IVF Dictionary and Sample Cycle help you in your search for knowledge.

The information on this website shouldn't be a replacement for a consultation with a doctor, but hopefully it will be able to give you more information on the issues that can lead to infertility.
