Conceptions Florida: Center for Fertility & Genetics is a fertility and reproductive genetics clinic located in Miramar, Florida, serving Broward County and the broader South Florida region. Miramar is a city in southwestern Broward County, positioned between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, making this clinic convenient for patients from Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Davie, Cooper City, Weston, and Miami-Dade County's northern communities. The clinic's dual focus on fertility and genetics distinguishes it within South Florida's fertility care landscape.

Physicians and Clinical Team
Conceptions Florida is led by reproductive endocrinologists and genetics specialists with expertise in both fertility treatment and reproductive genetics. The clinical team includes board-certified reproductive endocrinologists, genetics professionals, fertility nurses, embryologists, licensed genetic counselors, patient coordinators, and sonographers. The integrated genetics focus makes Conceptions Florida particularly well suited for patients seeking preimplantation genetic testing, carrier screening, or PGT-M for hereditary conditions alongside their IVF care.
Services and Treatments
Conceptions Florida provides:
- Comprehensive fertility evaluation — hormonal bloodwork, antral follicle count, hysterosalpingography, saline infusion sonography, and semen analysis
- Expanded carrier screening — hundreds of recessive genetic conditions
- Ovulation induction — oral and injectable protocols with monitoring
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) — conventional and individualized stimulation protocols
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) — chromosomal aneuploidy screening
- Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) — hereditary disease testing custom assay development
- Preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR)
- Frozen embryo transfer (FET)
- Egg and embryo cryopreservation
- Third-party reproduction — donor egg, donor sperm, and gestational carrier coordination
- Recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation — including genetic causes
Laboratory and Success Rates
Conceptions Florida's fertility and genetics laboratory infrastructure supports IVF procedures and genetic testing services. The dual clinical-genetics model positions the clinic to offer more integrated embryo testing than standard fertility practices. Vitrification and extended blastocyst culture are standard protocols.
Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
South Florida's diverse, multinational patient population includes many families with genetic conditions common in specific ethnic communities — Ashkenazi Jewish, Hispanic/Latino, Southeast Asian, and African American populations all have distinct genetic disease prevalence patterns. Conceptions Florida's genetics focus makes it a particularly relevant choice for patients in South Florida who want integrated genetic counseling and testing as part of their fertility journey. The Miramar location's central Broward County position makes it accessible from across the region.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. For individuals and couples exploring their options before pursuing formal medical treatment — or those working with a known sperm donor — at-home insemination kits offer a private, lower-cost first step. MakeAMom offers FDA-cleared at-home insemination systems designed for a variety of needs: the CryoBaby kit works with frozen or low-volume sperm, the Impregnator kit is optimized for low motility sperm, and the BabyMaker kit is designed for users with sensitivities or conditions such as vaginismus. All kits are reusable and shipped in plain, discreet packaging. MakeAMom reports an average 67% success rate among clients who use their home insemination systems. At-home insemination is not a replacement for medical care when underlying conditions are present, but it can be a meaningful starting point — and knowing when to consult a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Florida does not have a comprehensive state fertility insurance mandate. Coverage for IVF and fertility-genetics services in Florida depends on the patient's specific health plan. Some genetic counseling and carrier screening may be covered under broader diagnostic testing benefits even when IVF itself is not. The clinic's financial team can assist with benefit verification.
Mandate states for reference: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Rhode Island require insurers to cover IVF and related fertility treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Conceptions Florida specifically for its genetics focus? Patients who have a personal or family history of genetic conditions, who have been identified as carriers of recessive disorders, who have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss with a suspected genetic cause, or who are advanced maternal age patients seeking aneuploidy screening will benefit particularly from a clinic that integrates genetics expertise into IVF care. The genetic counselors at Conceptions Florida can provide more nuanced guidance on PGT-M custom assay development, carrier status interpretation, and result counseling than clinics that outsource all genetics consultation.
What is the difference between expanded carrier screening and PGT-M? Expanded carrier screening is performed before or early in treatment — it checks whether you or your partner carry mutations for recessive genetic conditions. If both partners are carriers for the same condition, embryos are at a 25% risk of being affected. PGT-M is then performed during IVF to test embryos for that specific condition before transfer, allowing selection of unaffected embryos. Carrier screening identifies the risk; PGT-M addresses it.
Does Conceptions Florida offer genetic counseling for patients who are BRCA carriers? Yes. Genetic counselors at Conceptions Florida can provide pre-conception counseling for patients who carry BRCA1/2 or other hereditary cancer syndrome mutations and are considering PGT-M to avoid passing these mutations to offspring. The clinical team can design custom PGT-M assays for hereditary cancer syndrome mutations.
Is IUI a good first step for South Florida patients without a clear fertility diagnosis? Yes. For patients with unexplained infertility or mild female or male factor issues, IUI is a reasonable first-line treatment. The relatively low cost and non-invasive nature of IUI make it an appropriate starting point before progressing to IVF. Most physicians recommend 3-6 IUI cycles, depending on patient age, before transitioning to IVF.
