Infertility

At femcare, we can assist you with a low cost, initial treatment plan that will include laboratory testing and oral medication.

Infertility treatment encompasses a variety of approaches designed to assist individuals and couples in achieving pregnancy. Oral medications, such as Clomiphene citrate and Letrozole, are often prescribed to stimulate ovulation and increase the chances of conception. For those who require more advanced intervention, injections of hormones like follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) may be utilized to promote the development of multiple eggs within the ovaries.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is another common treatment, where specially prepared sperm is directly inserted into the uterus around the time of ovulation, enhancing the likelihood of fertilization. For individuals facing more complex infertility issues, in vitro fertilization (IVF) represents a more intensive option. During IVF, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory setting before being transferred back into the uterus, significantly increasing the chances of pregnancy.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the leading cause of female infertility is failure to ovulate (anovulation).  At FemCare, we offer effective treatment options for anovulation through laboratory testing and oral medication.

Do I Need IVF? Maybe, But Not Yet.

Infertility can be an overwhelming journey, and while IVF is a well-known option for overcoming it, it may not always be the first step for everyone. Explore these options before jumping into IVF:

1.    Track Ovulation: utilize ovulation predictors, track your menstrual cycle, and understand your body’s rhythms. This knowledge can help you determine your fertile days.

2.    Focus on a balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrients. Make sure to take a prenatal vitamin daily.

3.     Find a healthy balance. Getting regular, moderate exercise can enhance fertility, while excessive exercise might have the opposite effect.

4.    Consider mindfulness techniques, yoga, or meditation to manage stress, which can affect fertility.

5. Try less invasive treatment options. Oral medications can stimulate ovulation and are often the first line of treatment for couples facing challenges.

6.    Engage in counseling or support groups for emotional assistance. The psychological toll of infertility can be significant, and it’s important to ensure that you and your partner are in a good place mentally.

7.   Assess financial Implications: IVF can be expensive, and many insurance plans do not cover it. Explore less costly options.
