• IUI or IVF: What is the Difference?

    Intra-uterine Insemination (IUI) is an office procedure timed to coincide with the woman's ovulation day. The sperm sample is washed in our lab and the healthiest sperms are placed in the woman's uterus with a soft straw so they can swim quickly toward the egg cell.

    In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is done by giving the woman fertility medicine to help her eggs grow. Eggs are then removed by ultrasound and placed in our Embryo Lab. One healthy sperm is placed in each egg to help it become an embryo. Two embryos are placed in the uterus and extra embryos are frozen for future use.

  • Low Cost IVF at West Coast Fertility™

    Patients with less severe forms of infertility may qualify for Low Cost IVF based on age, blood hormone levels and ovarian reserve testing. We use less medication, fewer ultrasounds and blood tests and the cost is lower. The success rate is excellent at 60% by transferring just two embryos. In a few cases, enough extra embryos can be frozen for future use. After a consultation and a few tests, we can determine if you qualify.

  • Hormonal Imbalance/Polycystic Ovaries

    Women with hormonal imbalances/Polycystic Ovaries often have irregular menstrual cycles, infrequent ovulation, weight problems, excessive body hair, diabetes, insulin resistance and high blood pressure.

    This makes pregnancy difficult and treatment must be individualized. Medical problems must be treated before attempting pregnancy for the mother and baby's health. Testing in our laboratory helps us determine your hormonal status.

  • Male Infertility Treatments

    Mild cases of male infertility can be managed by IUI, but men with "zero" or extremely low sperm count and motility must be carefully tested to determine the cause and treatment.

    Our Male Infertility Program combines examination and laboratory testing to arrive quickly at a diagnosis and treatment plan. ICSI, PESA and donor sperm are all treatment options available. We will review your semen analysis and help place you on the path to fatherhood.

  • Age and Fertility

    Women are born with a finite number of eggs which must survive during her life to become a healthy baby. Each egg has a pre-destined life span an there is a continuous attrition during the woman's reproductive years. With advancing age, egg quality is affected by a physiologic decline and by environmental factors and health issues.

    The Egg Quality or Ovarian Reserve can be determined by measuring a woman's reproductive hormones, estimating her resting follicle count and calculating the volume of the ovaries with ultrasound. At WCFC, all tests are easily done in one visit.

  • Miscarriages and Genetic Screening

    The most frequent cause of miscarriage is an abnormal embryo which can occur even in young healthy women. It is estimated that only 25% of embryos will result in a healthy baby. Chromosome abnormalities are often the cause of failed implantation or pregnancy loss.

    Our specialized Genetic Screening Program (PGS) can test for abnormalities before an embryo is transferred to the uterus and can confirm the gender of the embryo. Our Diagnostic Implantation System™ test can determine if the uterus is healthy enough to carry an embryo.

  • Preserve Your Fertility

    Unanticipated life events can threaten a woman's reproduction. Cancer at a young age, career demands, single marital status, family or medical history can all endanger a woman's fertility potential.

    But now, you can take charge by preserving your healthy unfertilized eggs through our Landa Freezing Method™ which has resulted in the births of 60 healthy babies and counting from frozen eggs, one of the world's largest series from a single Fertility Center. Women less than 38 years have the best outcome and simple Ovarian Reserve testing can determine if you are a good candidate.
