Expert-written, medically reviewed articles to guide your fertility journey. From IVF success rates to LGBTQ+ family building — evidence-based information you can trust.
Expanded carrier screening tests both partners for hundreds of inherited genetic conditions before pregnancy begins — giving couples the information they need to understand their reproductive risks and explore options like PGT-M if needed.
Premature ovarian insufficiency affects roughly 1 in 100 women under 40. While spontaneous pregnancy is possible in 5–10% of cases, donor egg IVF offers the highest success rates. This guide covers diagnosis, causes, fertility options, and HRT management.
Progesterone is the hormone of pregnancy — it prepares the uterine lining for implantation and supports the developing embryo through the first trimester. Understanding your progesterone levels during a natural cycle, IVF, or frozen embryo transfer can clarify a great deal about what's happening in your cycle.
Reciprocal IVF — where one partner provides the eggs and the other carries the pregnancy — offers lesbian couples a unique way to both be biologically involved in their child's conception. This guide covers the full medical process, legal protections, and realistic success rates.
Recurrent miscarriage affects roughly 1–2% of couples and has identifiable causes in only about half of cases. This guide covers every major cause, the diagnostic workup, and evidence-based treatments including PGT-A and progesterone supplementation.
The saline infusion sonogram is a simple in-office ultrasound procedure that provides detailed imaging of the uterine cavity — detecting polyps, fibroids, septum, and adhesions that standard ultrasound misses. This guide explains exactly what to expect and why it matters for fertility treatment.
Secondary infertility — the inability to conceive after a prior successful pregnancy — is more common than most people realize, affecting roughly 3 million couples in the United States. Understanding why it happens and how it's treated can help you move forward with a clear plan.
Shared risk IVF programs offer financial certainty: pay upfront for multiple cycles and get your money back if treatment doesn't result in a baby. But the math only works in your favor under specific conditions. This guide breaks down who benefits, who doesn't, and what to ask before signing up.
Sleep is one of the most underappreciated factors in reproductive health. Disrupted sleep affects key fertility hormones including melatonin, LH, and cortisol in ways that can impair ovulation and sperm production.
A normal semen analysis does not rule out sperm DNA damage. Sperm DNA fragmentation testing measures strand breaks that predict miscarriage, IVF failure, and natural conception difficulty — even when motility and morphology look fine.
Selecting a sperm donor involves far more than matching physical traits — it requires evaluating bank quality, genetic panel depth, identity policies, and what research shows about disclosure. This guide covers every dimension of the decision.
The vast majority of commercially available lubricants reduce sperm motility — sometimes dramatically. This guide explains which lubricants are safe when trying to conceive, what the science shows, and how to make an informed choice.
