Because IVF bypasses many common medical causes of infertility, it is the preferred treatment option for patients who have failed multiple IUIs. After thorough diagnostic testing has been performed to determine that your infertility is not structural, we will recommend the most promising treatment option. IUI – Intrauterine Insemination or artificial insemination – is often recommended as a first treatment option for unexplained infertility because it is the least invasive and most affordable. IUI boosts a woman’s pregnancy chances between 10 and 20 percent. Typically, IVF is not recommended until three to four IUI cycles have failed before IVF.

A healthy diet and active physical lifestyle during IVF treatment will increase your chances of success, while at the same time solidifying your habits when you’re pregnant. It is very important to take care of your whole body health in order to help enhance your IVF treatment. Your level of fertility is greatly increased with a healthy diet and body mass index (BMI). Nutrition and physical fitness go hand-in-hand with optimal fertility health.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a serious reproductive disorder that affects one out of 10 women. The fertility of approximately 20 percent of women in America is compromised by PCOS. PCOS impacts the regularity of your period as well as your appearance. The best treatment for infertile women suffering from PCOS is with fertility medications and IVF. Women suffering from infertility due to PCOS respond very well to injectable fertility medications and have a high percentage rate of successful ovulation and pregnancy.
