 Pennsylvania IVF and Infertility
Infertility can be attributed to multiple factors, many of which are treatable. Because the factors which produce fertility are shared almost equally by male and female, treatment requires that both partners be evaluated.
A thorough evaluation usually begins with the simplest tests and progresses to the more complicated tests. The results can help determine the best course of treatment for increasing the couple's probability of achieving pregnancy. Some infertility treatments enable pregnancies to occur that otherwise would have no chance of occurring. However, most infertility treatments make possible pregnancies more likely to occur in a shorter period of time. This is important because we cannot see into the future. Although a patient might achieve a spontaneous pregnancy five years from now, it is also possible that five years from now, she would have lost her ability to ever become pregnant. Advancing age in the female patients is problem we can least effectively treat
Infertility Solutions, P.C. offers leading edge advanced reproductive technologies including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), fertilization technology utilizing testicular sperm (TESE), PGD, embryo cryopreservation and assisted hatching. IVF, ICSI and TESE enable us to treat almost any male infertility problem including cases in which no sperm is in the ejaculate. Assisted hatching maximizes our effectiveness in achieving pregnancies in women over age 35. Embryo cryopreservation decreases the cost of achieving pregnancy with IVF in younger women. PGD is a new technology which involves removing a single cell from an embryo and sending it for genetic diagnosis. It can be used to select normal embryos from patients with genetic translocations, recurrrent IVF failures, recurrent miscarriages, and X-linked diseases. It can also be used for sex selection.

The Family Fertility Center
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after at least one year of trying. If you are having trouble getting pregnant, we can help. The type of fertility treatment depends upon the cause of infertility. In women, diagnostic tests are important in accessing the health of the fallopian tubes, uterus (womb), and the ovaries. For men, the Family Fertility Center houses a state-of-the-art andrology laboratory for diagnostic and treatment of male factor infertility. The Family Fertility Center offers the latest comprehensive diagnostic testing, infertility treatment services and fertility surgery to help couples achieve pregnancy.
Egg donation is when a young woman donates her healthy eggs to a woman (recipient) who is unable to conceive due to poor egg quality or absence of ovaries. Many women with poor egg quality have reduction or cessation of ovarian function due to premature menopause or delay in childbearing (advanced maternal age). Others have recovered from cancer with no ovarian function after chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
Egg donors are typically between the ages of 21 and 33 years of age. Recipients may choose one of our available anonymous donors or use a known donor, such as a sister, niece or friend. Egg donor candidates must be non-smokers, in good health, and have a healthy weight/height ratio. Screening includes a psychological consultation, comprehensive physical examination, and thorough medical and family histories.
During a gestational surrogacy cycle, eggs retrieved from the intended mother (or an egg donor) are fertilized with the partner's sperm in the laboratory. Next, the embryos are transferred into the uterus of a gestational carrier, who carries the pregnancy and gives birth to the baby. The baby is the biological child of the intended parents.
