When should I schedule a fertility consultation?

The providers at Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, P.C., offer comprehensive and compassionate fertility services for women or couples who can’t conceive.

They recommend seeking a diagnostic fertility evaluation if you’ve been having unprotected sex for at least a year without conception. If you’re over 35, you might need fertility care if you’ve been trying to conceive for six months without success.

You should also speak with the fertility specialists if you can become pregnant but experience miscarriages.

What fertility services are available?

The Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, P.C., providers offer a variety of diagnostic testing services to uncover the root cause of your fertility issues.

To help you conceive a healthy, viable pregnancy, the fertility specialists may recommend strategies like:

In-vitro fertilization (IVF)

IVF involves taking medications to mature your eggs. When the eggs are ready for fertilization, your provider retrieves the eggs through a minimally invasive procedure.

In a medical lab, the fertility specialist combines your eggs with sperm from your partner to encourage fertilization. Following successful fertilization, your provider implants the embryo directly into your uterus to achieve a pregnancy.

In-vitro fertilization with donor eggs

The in-vitro fertilization process works the same way, except your provider can use eggs from a donor if you’re not producing viable eggs because of your age or underlying health issues.

The providers at Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, P.C., prescreen the donor eggs. They also provide you with estrogen and progesterone hormones to line your menstrual cycle up with that of the egg donor. After egg retrieval and fertilization, your provider implants the resulting embryo into your uterus.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI)

IUI is a process to place sperm from your partner or a donor directly into your uterus during ovulation. Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, P.C., offers fertility tests to detect the luteinizing hormone (LH) that occurs before ovulation to time the procedure correctly and increase your chance of successful egg fertilization.

The providers also offer pregnancy tests to confirm the process was successful and continue to care for you and your baby through obstetrics services. You can depend on their guidance from conception to delivery and beyond.

Which infertility treatment is right for me?

The fertility specialists at Oakland Macomb Obstetrics & Gynecology, P.C., can determine which fertility treatment is a good fit for you and your partner by reviewing your medical history, your age, and your family planning goals.

In some cases, more than one IVF treatment is necessary to achieve a pregnancy. Your provider works closely with you to prepare your body for your IVF procedure and ensure optimal results.
