When getting pregnant takes longer than expected, a fertility evaluation can help identify what’s going on. This may include reviewing your medical history, checking hormone levels, imaging studies, and semen analysis when appropriate. The goal is to provide clarity and support, guiding your next steps with care and a plan that aligns with your needs.

Before trying to conceive, preconception counseling can help identify any health factors that might impact fertility or pregnancy. These visits offer guidance on lifestyle, medications, and medical history, helping you prepare for a healthy journey toward parenthood.

Having multiple miscarriages can feel deeply discouraging, but answers are possible. Evaluation may include reviewing your health history, hormone levels, genetic testing, and examining the uterus. While the exact cause isn’t always clear, ongoing support and personalized treatment can help reduce risks and improve outcomes in future pregnancies.

PCOS is a common cause of infertility, often related to irregular ovulation. Evaluation typically includes hormone testing and ultrasound imaging of the ovaries. Treatment may involve medications to help with ovulation, manage cycles, or reduce symptoms like acne or excess hair. With the right care, many individuals with PCOS can conceive successfully.

Tracking your menstrual cycle helps pinpoint ovulation and identify the best timing for conception or treatment. This may involve blood tests, ultrasounds, and monitoring hormone changes throughout your cycle. These insights improve your chances by aligning care with your body’s natural rhythms.

Fertility testing looks into potential physical, hormonal, or structural causes behind delayed conception. It may include blood work, ultrasounds, and sometimes genetic or partner testing. The goal is to gather the right information so that every decision is informed and personalized.

If ovulation is inconsistent or absent, medication may help stimulate egg release. Common options include oral medications or hormone injections, monitored carefully to ensure safe and timely treatment. It’s often a first step for individuals with irregular cycles or ovulatory disorders.

IUI is a treatment where specially prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chance of fertilization. It’s commonly used for mild male-factor infertility, cervical issues, or cases with no clear cause. IUI is a relatively quick and low-intervention option, though outcomes can vary by individual.

These screenings evaluate for inherited or chromosomal conditions that can impact fertility or increase the risk of miscarriage. Testing options may include blood work, saliva samples, or embryo testing during IVF. Understanding these results can help shape your care plan with greater confidence.

If conditions like fibroids, polyps, or blocked fallopian tubes are suspected, surgery may be recommended as part of your care. Minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, can help identify and treat these concerns. While surgery isn’t always the first option, it can be a valuable step in improving fertility outcomes.

When family-building involves donor sperm, donor eggs, or a gestational carrier, the process includes more than medical care; it also involves emotional, legal, and ethical planning. Your care team will help you navigate all aspects with clarity and compassion while honoring your personal goals.

My husband and I truly appreciate the time and care from Dr. Persch. She was incredibly calm, concerned, and thorough. She allowed time for us to talk about our loss, truly listened to our perspective, and gave us a solid plan of care moving forward. We were absolutely impressed when she walked in the room and was already well versed in our story and our history. She knew about our previous deliveries, knew about our loss already, and was able to incorporate our history into the plan moving forward.

Infertility and Insemination FAQs - Woodbury

How long does it usually take to get pregnant with treatment?

It depends on the cause of infertility and the treatment approach. Some patients conceive after just a few months of support, while others may require multiple cycles or more advanced options like IVF.

Fertility evaluations may involve pelvic ultrasounds, saline sonograms, or hysterosalpingograms (HSG) to examine the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes for structural issues.

How many treatment cycles are typically needed?

Every case is different. Some individuals conceive after one or two cycles of treatment like IUI, while others may require multiple rounds or advanced procedures like IVF. Your provider will guide you based on your specific situation.

Recovery depends on the type of procedure. Most patients return to normal activities within 1–3 days after IUI or diagnostic tests. Surgical procedures like laparoscopy may require a few days to a week for full recovery.
