Do I Need IVF?
IVF can overcome many causes of infertility to make pregnancy possible.
OVER 35
In addition to having fewer eggs, women over 35 are also more likely to have eggs with chromosomal abnormalities that can cause miscarriage and other complications.
ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis causes uterine tissue to implant and grow in other locations in the body. This extra tissue can cause scarring, which can cause infertility.
TRIED OTHER TREATMENTS
While ovarian stimulation and IUI can be effective in treating infertility, IVF has a significantly higher success rate ranging from 30-40% in one cycle.
BLOCKED TUBES
Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes can cause infertility by preventing the sperm from reaching the egg or the fertilized egg from reaching the uterus.
MALE FACTOR
More than six million U.S. couples face infertility. 40% of these cases are caused by male factor infertility.
RECURRENT MISCARRIAGE
The most common reason for recurrent pregnancy loss is genetic, and this is usually associated with the embryo having either too many or too few chromosomes.
