When you want to conceive and find you are having difficulty for a
prolonged period let us help you turn things around.
We know infertility can cause a lot of stress and our Certified Nurse
Midwives can help. Because the cause can lie with either partner, they will conduct
a battery of tests based on your medical and family history and that of your
mate’s. Sometimes the difficulty is simple and sometimes complex. In either
case your midwife or midwife/physician team can provide the diagnostic and
innovative treatment services you need to get your family started successfully.
We find that many fertility problems can be treated more easily than others.
In general, a woman after the age 35 has a lower odds of getting pregnant and her
risk of miscarriage can go up. However, medical science has made many advances that
have helped millions of couples but before starting any kind of treatment, we will
talk with you about how far you want to go with treatment. For example, you may want
to try medicine but don’t want to have surgery. It’s good to start with
an idea of what you want your limits to be.
Our approach is to address the simple and most affordable options first. It can get
expensive when pursuing many more advanced procedures and insurance often will not
cover them.
Thinking about this ahead of time may help keep you from becoming emotionally and
financially drained from trying a series of treatments you hadn’t planned for.
We are with you every step of the way to make the best decisions you can to achieve
a healthy and safe pregnancy and birth.
