Basic Fertility Options

Basic Fertility OptionsAt Northeastern Reproductive Medicine, our goal is to maximize your chances of success based on your age and the results of diagnostic testing.

Fertility therapy ranges from basic, less invasive treatments to more advanced treatments like in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Often a step-wise approach is best — and the most cost-effective. Patients with open fallopian tubes whose male partners have adequate semen analysis results may be candidates for basic therapy. Discuss with your doctor if you are a candidate for the following options.


Medications

Who should consider fertility medications?

  • Women who do not have regular menstrual cycles (such as women with PCOS or amenorrhea)
  • Couples diagnosed with unexplained infertility.
  • Couples with mild male factor or those utilizing donor sperm, who have been unsuccessful with IUI alone (below).

What medications may be used?

Timed Intercourse Cycles

The combined use of ultrasound imaging and bloodwork monitoring to optimize each individual’s ovulation window. Timed intercourse can be coupled with ovulation induction: using hormone therapy to stimulate egg development and release (ovulation). Having a guided timing of intercourse coinciding with ovulation improves conception rates tremendously, and is one of the more “basic” and cost effective fertility treatments.

Who should consider Intercourse Cycles?

  • Individuals who have unobstructed fallopian tubes
  • Individuals who have a normal uterine cavity
  • Individuals whose partner does not have unexplained male factor infertility

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

What is IUI?

  • The IUI procedure is a basic reproductive technique that deposits washed sperm into the uterus at the time of ovulation. The sperm source can be fresh or frozen, from a male partner or a donor. The goal is for the sperm to swim into the fallopian tube and fertilize a waiting egg, resulting in a pregnancy.
  • IUI can be coordinated with your normal cycle or with the fertility medications above.

Who should consider IUI?

  • Women using donor sperm to achieve a pregnancy
    • Same sex female couples
    • Single females
    • Couples in which the male partner has low sperm counts or azoospermia (no sperm).
  • Women who have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility or infertility related to endometriosis.
  • Couples with mild male factor infertility: semen analysis showing below-average sperm concentration, weak movement of sperm or abnormalities in sperm size and shape.

“We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care we received at Northeastern Reproductive Medicine. A diagnosis of unexplained infertility can be both frustrating and overwhelming, and we could not be happier that we chose NRM to educate us on the various fertility treatments and help us choose the best path for our circumstances. After numerous failed IUIs, we moved on to IVF and were successful on our first try! The staff at NRM is comprised of a team of first class health care professionals who are dedicated to providing high-quality, personalized, compassionate, and affordable fertility care. From the ladies at the front desk to the nurses, office staff, embryologists, ultrasound technicians, and of course the doctors, each and every one of them is warm, accessible, approachable, and knowledgeable. Each staff member strives to go the extra mile to educate and support their patients. We came to know each of them on a first name basis quickly and likewise each of them knew us. They are highly committed to making sure patients are educated about their options and that they feel at ease and comfortable during a time that is full of anxiety and unknowns. NRM is in a state-of-the-art, gorgeous office space, which is more closely likened to a five-star hotel than a medical facility. This truly made for a much more comfortable, relaxed setting than a hospital. We have NMR to thank for our little miracle and are forever grateful for all they did to make our dream of family a reality. We would highly recommend NRM for any of your fertility needs!”

“Over a year ago my husband and I started our quest to have a baby; little did we know that journey would be one filled with challenges and heartache. Fertility issues are devastating and they had me questioning everything to the point of utter exhaustion and worry.
It wasn’t until we were introduced to Northeastern Reproductive Medicine (NRM) that my hope finally started to return. From the very first visit everyone in the office, from the front desk staff to the nurses to the doctor, was so warm and welcoming that I had no doubt I had made the right decision in choosing this office. The staff was/is readily available to answer any and all of my questions and the process of beginning treatment was an exciting one. I’m happy to announce that my husband and I are expecting our first child in August of 2015, and we couldn’t thank NRM more for their help in making our dream a reality.
What we appreciated most about NRM was their ability to reassure and guide us through this process of fertility treatment. They are a truly amazing practice with a wonderful staff that is ready and willing to help through such a difficult time. I will most definitely be coming back here when we are ready to expand our family again, and I would recommend this office to anyone who is experiencing fertility issues or concerns.
Good luck to you and your growing family!”

“I felt well-cared for and had very little to no stress from this process. Not having to go to the hospital made this possible. The nurses are wonderful and helpful. Nicole’s cute notes to update me on my embryos pre-implant made it more exciting and fun. Thank you for making our dreams come true!”
