Who should consider the IVF program?

In general, patients with infertility due to a condition not responsive to conventional therapy are considered for the IVF procedure.  Diagnoses include:

Tubal Disease

Surgical procedures to correct the problem may have been unsuccessful or the individual may be judged to have a poor chance for success with the surgery.  Patients also may have chosen not to accept the risks involved with the surgery.

 

Endometriosis

Traditional treatments may have been unsuccessful.

 

Cervical Factors or Antibody Problems

Usual treatment  measures have failed.

 

Unexplained Infertility

No definite cause has been identified.

 

Male Factor Infertility

Low sperm count or reduced sperm motility, antibodies, or surgically collected sperm.

 

 

Recurrent pregnancy loss

For unknown reasons, women with recurrent pregnancy loss of undetermined origin do very well with IVF.

 

 

Ovarian failure

Patients who have undergone menopause either naturally or surgically and for whom an egg donor has been identified.  Egg donors can be obtained from our list of anonymous donors.  State law in Florida outlines how this is to be done.  These laws provide full protection for both the donor and the recipients.

 

 

Gestational Host

This is for women without a uterus, with a uterus not capable of carrying a baby, those who have serious medical problems that would make it unwise for them to carry a baby, and in cases of unexplained failure to conceive with prior IVF cycles.
