Female Infertility Treatment
& Care

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Advanced IVF treatment with personalized protocols for optimal success rates. Including ICSI, genetic testing, and embryo transfer.

IVF is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child.

Egg Donation IVF

Comprehensive egg donation program with carefully screened donors, including fresh and frozen cycles for intended parents.

Egg donation offers hope for women who cannot conceive with their own eggs due to age, medical conditions, or genetic concerns.

Miscarriages (Loss of Pregnancy)

Miscarriages and pregnancy losses at different stages of pregnancy are on the increase. Most Ob/Gyn doctors have no time and no experience to treat patients who lose every pregnancy they conceive.

Recent advances in understanding maternal Immune System role in early pregnancy gave much-needed insight into demystifying nature of many unexplained miscarriages.

Semen Analysis

Our office performs semen analysis for male fertility testing and sperm quality. Please call our office 212-794-0080 Monday-Friday to schedule appointment.

We provide sterile cup for the specimen collection that can be produced at home or in our office.

Report is ready in two days after test and doctor will answer all questions you may have.

Intrauterine Inseminations

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a medical procedure to introduce sperm separated from seminal fluid into women uterus. Minimum 5-7 million moving sperm is needed.

Pregnancy Outcomes: IUI can be an effective treatment option for many couples.

IUI is most effective for couples with minor sperm deficiencies, erectile dysfunction and for women using frozen donor sperm.

Best Diet for Natural Fertility

Micro elements are key factors in women diet because they benefit female fertility and assisted reproduction. Micronutrients are necessary for successful pregnancy and baby.

Microelements are important vitamins and minerals not produced by the body and have to be taken with daily diet. Micronutrients have positive impact on female fertility, they help to produce good quality oocytes, improves oocyte maturation and fertilization, and later embryo implantation. Vitamins below recommended levels have been reported in more than half of infertile women.

Micronutrients deficit needs to be restored in women diagnosed with other conditions decreasing fertility for example PCOS. Vitamin D supplement in women with PCOS undergoing IVF regulates menstruation and improves metabolic functions.

Folic acid, that is a vitamin B has shown to improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes and folic acid effects on fertility are dose depended. Intake of 400 μg of folic acid a day alone or in supplement combination increases conception in a single menstrual cycle, also in women with irregular menstruations.

Taking 800 μg of folic acid a day improves ovulation, increases chances for getting pregnant and shortens time to conception. Folic acid taken daily for at least one month before pregnancy and continued during first trimester prevents neural tube defects and makes baby healthy.

• Folic acid — improves ovulation, increases chances for getting pregnant and shortens time to conception
• Healthy & balanced diet — before conception positively correlates with serum and red blood cell (RBC) folate levels
• Folates — increase mature oocyte counts and improve fertilization rates

Multi Vitamins and minerals were given to women who failed to conceive for between 6 and 36 months. That treatment resulted in one-third of patients becoming pregnant compared with none in a placebo group. Higher progesterone levels were also reported.

Antioxidants are a sub-group of micro elements that protect cells from free radicals and oxidative stress being very important for getting pregnant. Antioxidants include vitamins A, C, E and minerals with copper, zinc and selenium.

• Free radicals and oxidative stress — well-known to lower fertility in female patients
• Women fertility decreases when antioxidant reserves are too low to protect DNA and other cell structures from oxidative damage
• Lowering oxidative stress — improves oocyte and embryo quality

Antioxidants have significant beneficial effect on fertility and those effects correlate with women BMI and age. Normal weight and normal BMI improve reproductive outcomes.

• Vitamin C & Beta-carotene — shorten time to pregnancy in women under 35 with normal BMI
• Vitamin E — recommended for older women
• Vitamin A & Zinc — improve oocyte quality and blastocyst formation by increased DNA production

Microelements are very important for IVF patients and show positive impact on follicular environment, oocyte and embryo quality, embryo implantation, and pregnancy ending in live birth. Supplementation taken before and during treatment are beneficial to improve pregnancy rates.

Women over 35 who take antioxidants have higher fertilization rates and produce better embryos to secure at least one good-quality blastocyst for transfer.

Most but not all studies evaluating effects of antioxidants on IVF show positive results. For example, Antioxidants for ICSI/IVF patients with unexplained infertility, did not produce difference in outcomes.

Micronutrients is a good first step for infertility patients, before more invasive therapies are recommended. Supplementation will improve general health and optimize fertility in all women ready to conceive. Supplements are well tolerated, produce no adverse events and little side effects.

Achieving high outcomes and pregnancy rates for our patients is labor intensive. With every patient, we spend lots of time to identify and to correct whatever is potentially beneficial on the IVF outcomes and diet is a key to success!
