IVF treatment has become one of the most common methods of treating infertility issues, and in many cases can be a very successful way to successfully achieve pregnancy. However, IVF can be an expensive process and is not necessarily the only option for becoming pregnant.
Infertility Solutions, P.C. offers traditional IVF services, but provides patients with cost-saving measures that help to minimize the financial risk and control the expense associated with the treatment. For instance, a risk sharing program is in place that allows patients up to six tries at achieving a successful pregnancy. The program also covers the pregnancy through the point of delivery. A 3 for 2 program is also available to all patients who are trying to achieve pregnancy through IVF. <This innovative program has elements of risk sharing in it, but is set up so that the patient never ends up paying more than she would have if she signed up for a single IVF cycle.>
In addition to helping you to minimize the financial risks associated with IVF treatment, Infertility Solutions, P.C. also provides you with alternatives to traditional IVF that may be simpler and easier to undergo than the traditional method. Options include in vitro maturation and min-stim IVF, which are cutting-edge treatment methods offered by only a select few fertility clinics.
With these different programs and treatment methods, you can rest assured that if you are dealing with fertility problems, Infertility Solutions, P.C. will work with you to find a treatment method that works and will do everything possible to make your fertility treatment as free of financial and emotional stress as possible.

In vitro fertilization, or IVF, has become a widely used method of treating fertility issues and helping to facilitate a successful pregnancy. While IVF is a common treatment, not all IVF clinics provide the same level of care or support. Choosing a top quality IVF clinic that goes a step beyond the standard can make the difference between the successful and failure of your treatment.
Infertility Solutions, P.C. is a leading infertility clinic with a unique IVF program that offers significant advantages. One of the biggest advantages is the integration between medical and laboratory aspects of IVF. Many doctors are not well-versed in the laboratory component of in vitro treatment, and working with a doctor who has the knowledge to see the process through from start to finish can increase your chances of the IVF treatment being successful.
Infertility Solutions, P.C. is also a small IVF program, unlike many larger IVF clinics. This means you are seen as a patient, not just another number. Because your physician cares about you and your situation, the stress of IVF will be reduced so you can feel more in control and cared for during the duration of your infertility treatment. With top notch and cutting edge medical care, plus extensive support, you have the best possible chance of successfully conceiving and overcoming your fertility issues.

It is always interesting to see a publication advocating what you have been doing for some time. The group at the University of Montreal recently published an article in Fertility and Sterility (2011: vol 96, pp 1066-8) advocating the use of modified natural cycle IVF as a first therapy for women with decreased ovarian reserve. Their modified natural cycle IVF was rather similar to our Mini-stim IVF and they view this approach in much the same way as I do. Thus Mini-stim IVF, mini IVF and modified natural cycle IVF are all synonyms.
An important part of our approach has been for me to directly perform a transvaginal ultrasound on new patients at their first visit to assess ovarian reserve. This can save a couple months to years of a fertility evaluation. It is not uncommon to find women in their early 30’s with decreased ovarian reserve. Patients with decreased ovarian reserve who undertake appropriate therapy early often have a good chance of getting pregnant. If they wait too long (perhaps by following simpler infertility algorithms for too long a period of time), they may never achieve pregnancy. A reproductive endocrinologist is more likely than a general gynecologist to move quickly in the right direction, but as suggested by the above article, the optimal patient approach is not quite mainstream yet.
In Vitro is not cheap. There, we said it. But you already knew that coming into this, right? Now having said that, it’s important to note that there are ways to help limit the out of pocket expenses. The main thing to do is opt for IVM (In Vitro Maturation).
How can IVM help lower you In Vitro Fertilization cost? Well first of all, the process requires less medication. And as we all know, trips to your pharmacy can add up really quick.
IVM also requires fewer appointments. This is primarily due to the fact that fewer ultrasounds are taken as well as fewer blood tests. So that means you spend less o the expensive tests and have to take fewer days off work to meet the demand of infertility treatment appointments.
Where Can you Find IVM?
Keep in mind, not every infertility clinic uses the IVM process. However, if you visit infertilitysolutions.com, you’ll be met by a clinic with well-respected doctors that have experienced great success with IVM. So cut your In Vitro Fertilization cost and call them today!

If you are experiencing infertility issues, in vitro fertilization might prove to be a good option for you. However, in many instances it can get pretty expensive. And getting insurance to cover all or even a small portion of the cost can be a real pain. However, if you live in New Jersey, then you will have the easiest time in respect to IVF cost.
Your State Government is Behind You
In 2001, the state legislators in New Jersey passed laws stating that more big companies should provide insurance plans that cover infertility treatments. Does that mean IVF cost is covered in this legislation? Yes. In the event that less-serious treatment methods have failed, the legislation states that coverage should include up to three rounds of in vitro fertilization procedures. This also includes medication specific to infertility treatment.
Where to Find More Information on IVF Cost
Is in vitro fertilization a possibility for you and your spouse? If so, you can visit infertilitysolutions.com to get more information on IVF cost as well as various procedures.
Have you been trying to conceive for six months or longer? Have other fertility treatments failed? If so, it may be time for you and your spouse to consider in-vitro fertilization.
What is In-Vitro Fertilization?
In-vitro fertilization is usually recommended only for couples who have been unable to get pregnant after trying for an extended length of time or who have had problems identified that can be directly overcome by IVF. During this process, the sperm and egg are combined together inside a lab and then injected into the woman’s uterus.
Is It Worth the Risks?
The chance of women under 35 giving birth after this process is about 41%. This treatment has also been known to help post-menopausal woman conceive. It may take more than one appointment to get pregnant.
For couples who want to have a baby and have tried to all the other options out there, in-vitro fertilization may help. Take the first step on the road to conceiving a child of your own and make an appointment with an IVF center today.
You and your spouse have decided to take a leap and visit an IVF clinic. In-vitro fertilization can increase your odds of conceiving up to 45 percent. Since many clinics have wait lists, this will give you plenty of time to prepare for your first appointment.
Information to Keep Track Of
While waiting for the big day, you should take the time to record a few things. Try to remember who long you have had unprotected intercourse without conceiving. If there were other partners on either side, include that time. Also how long have you been working with doctors on getting pregnant and what type of doctors were they? Record who long it is from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next period. If your periods vary, try to provide an accurate range of days. How long do your periods last? Record the number of days (or range). How many (if any) days of spotting proceed the start of genuine period symptoms (don’t count these as part of your period). You may already be monitoring the above information; just be sure to bring it with you to your appointment.
Documents to Bring
Your fertility doctor will be interested in your medical history. Take copies of any past fertility and semen tests that have been performed, as well as any records of conditions that may affect your chances of conceiving.
Remember, being prepared ahead of time can help make the most of your IVF clinic visit.

Did you know that male infertility is involved in about two-thirds of all infertility cases? It’s true. About one-third of infertility cases are caused by just the male. In another third of infertility cases, the infertility is caused by both the man and the woman.
With that in mind, it just makes sense to take a closer look at some of the common causes of male infertility.
- Abnormal sperm production—This can be due to a range of different problems, including genetic defects, infections, and undescended testicles.
- Poor health—Male infertility can be caused by poor eating habits, drinking too much alcohol, taking drugs, being overweight, using tobacco, and other health and lifestyle issues.
- Age—As men get older, they often become less fertile. Typically, men who are older than 40 are likelier to have infertility issues than younger men.
- Sperm delivery issues—Things like premature ejaculation and blockage of the part of the testicle containing the sperm can prevent proper delivery of sperm.
Infertility Solutions is a fertility clinic in Pennsylvania committed to helping couples overcome infertility issues. Learn more about our practice at www.InfertilitySolutions.com.
There are three types of patients who utilize Mini-stim IVF in our practice and they have potentially different pregnancy rates with Mini-stim IVF as they do with conventional IVF. The best group for Mini-IVF is the group who could do IUI first, but move to Mini-stim IVF because it is a more efficient way to achieve pregnancy. With problems like isolated male factor, the pregnancy rate with Mini-IVF is at least four times that of IUI (depending on how poor the sperm are).
The second group includes those patients who are candidates for conventional IVF, but choose Mini-stim IVF because of its benefits (cost, simplicity, less drugs, and fewer embryos created). Mini IVF is well suited for those patients concerned about creating viable embryos that may end up being discarded. It is also well suited for those very concerned about multiple births as usually only one really good embryo is created.
The third group includes women over 40 or those patients with decreased ovarian reserve. This latter group has a low success rate with IVF and Mini-stim IVF is often the preferred approach in our program. Existing data suggests that the pregnancy rate is at least as high with Mini IVF as with conventional IVF and the cost difference is greatest because of the large amount of medication used to try to help this group with conventional IVF. That large amount of medication may in itself cause problems in achieving pregnancy that can be avoided with a Mini IVF approach.
