We are proud to announce the launch of the Success Prime IVF Program, an IVF money back guarantee for best-case patients. The elements of the Success Prime IVF Program are very simple. If we determine that you are an eligible, or prime candidate, and if you do not get pregnant with embryos from either a fresh or frozen embryo…
It seems like there is a story almost every day about threats to our health from products we use almost every day. Today's threat is to reproduction. The Los Angeles Times reported, "In a study published today, a decreased likelihood of pregnancy is linked to flame-retardant chemicals in foam furniture, electronics, fabrics and more. Californians…

This is one of those questions in medicine where the question never changes, but the answer does. Over the years I have seen the pendulum of advice swing back and forth from a shorter to a longer period of abstinence before an IUI.
Here's the latest. A study reported in the January 2010 edition of Fertility & Sterility shows a…
There is now more evidence that women who have two copies (are homozygous) of mutations for genes that can cause inappropriate blood clotting (thrombophilia) are not as likely as previously thought to suffer from some pregnancy complications. The Jamuary 2010 issue of the medical journal "Obstetrics & Gynecology" contains two articles and an editorial, "The Truth About Inherited Thrombophilias and…

From the article:
Fertility doctors said that it's difficult to judge whether fresh or frozen embryos should have been used, but that the medical board seems…
A question that I occasionally hear is whether inherited tendencies to clot abnormally (thrombophilias) are a cause of infertility or early pregnancy loss. Most people asking this question have gotten this notion from surfing the internet. Our group’s opinion on the subject has been that these conditions are not major factors in either early pregnancy…
I hate when this happens. Fortunately it is fairly unusual, but devastating. We start a retrieval with everything going well but the embryologist does not find any eggs. It's called Empty Follicle Syndrome. The follicles are not really empty but the hCG administered to start the process of releasing the egg has not worked. What do we do? In the…
One myth about unexplained infertility is that it may be caused by a hereditary thrombophilia, a mutation in a gene such as prothrombin, MTHFR or Factor V Leiden, mutations that can predispose an individual to abnormal blood clotting. They have also been postulated as a cause of recurrent early miscarriage. Neither cause-and-effect relatioship has been proven and most authorities do…
