Chromosome abnormalities in an embryo may be a contributing factor in cases of infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss in women. One of the most significant advances in reproductive medicine is preimplantation genetic testing, an advanced embryo biopsy that speaks directly to these crucial statistics.

Over 6 million women in the US and Canada are afflicted by this widespread, curable disease, which is known to be present in 30% of infertile women. All stages of endometriosis can be diagnosed and treated by the fertility doctors at Boston IVF. Dealing with this complicated disease is something we’ve done for more than 30 years.

One of the first treatments frequently suggested to people and couples with fertility problems is ovulation induction. Ovulation induction must be followed by a sperm-egg union-promoting fertility treatment method in order to result in pregnancy. The most popular methods for doing this are in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI).

IVF is the most successful fertility treatment currently available, with pregnancy rates up to five times those of intrauterine insemination. It is the most popular type of fertility therapy and is especially beneficial for older women, those with damaged fallopian tubes, those with male factor infertility, and more.
