Infertility is strictly defined as the inability to conceive after one (1) year of unprotected intercourse. If you have not conceived after a year of trying, you should see a physician for a complete evaluation and treatment.
Some patients should seek consultation prior to one (1) year. This includes women age 35 or older, or women with known gynecologic problems such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids or fallopian tube blockage.
Most women have established a relationship with a gynecologist whom they trust and respect. Although obstetrician gynecologists are familiar with various issues related to infertility, their specialty lies in a different area. Reproductive medicine is advancing far too quickly for a non-specialist to stay informed of and fully trained in the widely changing range of technologies available.
Abnormalities in sperm count, sperm motility or sperm morphology account for approximately 40% of infertility. The other 60% fall into the following categories:
Difficulty in ovulation or monthly production and release of an egg
Adhesions (scar tissue) or damage to the fallopian tubes
Endometriosis
Cervical damage which may result in poor cervical mucous
Immunologic factors
Unexplained infertility
Initial evaluation of the infertile couple should, at a minimum, include a thorough history and physical examination, assessment of ovulation, fallopian tube patency and semen analysis. Additional testing may be indicated for some couples dependent on their medical history.

Welcome to Mid-Missouri Reproductive Medicine
With more than 60 years of collective experience diagnosing and treating infertility, the staff at MMRMS is proud to have played a role in bringing thousands of babies into the world since 1997. We are the leading provider of infertility services in the Mid-Missouri region.
Take a moment to review our success rates and read a selection of patient testimonials about their infertility treatment experience at MMRMS.
Working closely with either Dr. Penney or Dr. Wilshire, you will map out a strategy and an infertility treatment plan that fits your goals, your schedule, and your values. To help keep your infertility treatment on track, your physician and healthcare team will participate in your personal treatment plan.
We recognize that infertility is one of life's most difficult challenges, both medically and emotionally. Fears about never having a child, undergoing invasive treatments and procedures, and handling the financial impact of treatment add a dimension unfamiliar to many patients. This is why our approach at MMRMS is both "high tech" and "high attention."
The IVF Program was established by Dr. Larry L. Penney in 1997. It is one of a handful of private practice Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) programs in the Midwest.
Our fertility clinic has been in continuous operation, under the same management and at the same location for 10 years. Thousands of babies have been born as a result of various ART procedures performed at MMRMS.
Our IVF Program provides multiple services of the highest quality in a warm, comfortable, and supportive setting. Each patient receives personalized care
from highly experienced physicians, nurses, and specially trained staff. Many of our patients have complex infertility factors or have failed treatments elsewhere, so they
often benefit from the individualized care and attention delivered by our program.
