How do we go about choosing a donor? I know this is the only way to make it happen for us, but just don't know what I should look for in a donor. I'm trying to think of it as I would if we were…Continue

We are trying to decide between NCIVF or regular IVF for our next step. The only thing identified wrong with us is a low sperm count (12 million) which doesn't seem like a low number to me, but I'm…Continue

I'm AMA and we thought that was our only issue until DH got his semen analysis, revealing low motility and abnormal morphology. What do we do now, I was hoping to do injectables with IUI, but now…Continue

I was also concerned about family history, longevity of relatives etc."

How do we go about choosing a donor? I know this is the only way to make it happen for us, but just don't know what I should look for in a donor. I'm trying to think of it as I would if we were adopting (still an option) but not sure what I should look for there either. Any advice from those that have been there?See More
Anonymous replied to Wendy's discussion Any other POF out there? What are you doing for Health & Conceiving?"Hi Wendy, I have been struggling with POF or DOR (diminished ovarian reserve) for a couple of years. I still occasionally have a cycle, but no RE would do stimulated IVF on me so I'm considering NCIVF. Of course that won't work…"
John David Gordon MD replied to Anonymous's discussion Low count sperm count"Congrats! So nice to hear you are doing well!
Another factor to consider is the age of the patient. Patients over 37 may want to consider stimulated IVF given the possibility of having extra embryos to freeze and use for baby #2 in a couple of…"
BabyOrBust replied to Anonymous's discussion Low count sperm count"Hello Anonymous,
Your story sounds like mine. However, I am currently 19weeks pregnant yesterday. I am having a girl. My husband not only had low sperm count but low everything. I did not have insurance to cover IVF. I went to another fertility…"

We are trying to decide between NCIVF or regular IVF for our next step. The only thing identified wrong with us is a low sperm count (12 million) which doesn't seem like a low number to me, but I'm not an expert. We have done 3 IUI's without success, and our insurance doesn't cover either type of IVF so what should we do?See More
Anonymous replied to Anonymous's discussion Why ICSI"I think it depends on how long you have been trying and all factors with you. Basically if you have never been pregnant and your DH has never gotten anyone pregnant then your RE will recommend ICSI so you will be guaranteed to have some eggs…"
Robin Webb R.N. replied to Anonymous's discussion Male issues"Many couples have issues on both sides, it is likely IVF with ICSI will be an option, but there is also donor sperm and/or donor egg. Also, we have natural cycle IVF which includes ICSI and is well suited for couples that have male factor, but…"

Robin Webb R.N. replied to Anonymous's discussion Premature Ovarian Failurepai"Hello,
NCIVF does require that you ovulate on your own, but if you cycles are between 25-34 days in length then it may be possible."
Anonymous replied to Anonymous's discussion Premature Ovarian Failurepai"I'm 46 and my cycle has become longer in the last few months is it still possible to do NCIVF."
g Mackay replied to Anonymous's discussion Premature Ovarian Failurepai"Diagnosed as DOR at age 32 and now 35 with complete POF, I haven't been able to find out much information about possible causes, just treatment such as egg donation. I'm currently unmarried and not ready to have a baby, but I want to…"

John David Gordon MD's blog post was featuredDominion Fertility SART Inspection: Great Job!
Last week we had a SART/CDC site inspection. All IVF clinics in the country report to the CDC as part of the Wyden Law passed back in the 1990s. Although a few clinics choose not to report we have always been members of SART and reported to the CDC. During the inspection over 50 charts are chosen at random and carefully inspected to make sure that we are honest and accurate in reporting our results. We passed with flying colors! Kudos to all of our staff that work so hard on this part of…See More
