General Practitioners

• Medical Weight Loss
  Although PCOS often affects or disrupts a woman's menstrual cycle, the reality is that PCOS is highly treatable and most women who seek care should be able to get pregnant through lifestyle changes, modest weight loss, basic infertility treatments and medication.
• Nutritional Counseling
  All PCOS patients at Boston IVF are strongly advised to meet with Hillary Wright, MEd, RD, LDN - the Director of Nutritional Counseling at Boston IVF and author of
• Primary Care
  Many insurance companies require you to get an insurance referral or authorization from your primary care doctor for visits with any other doctor. Some insurers will not pay for visits unless the referral paperwork is in place at the time of your visit.
• Male Infertility
  The reality is that just about half of all infertility cases stem from male-factor infertility. This statistic is undeniable, and for this reason we know that male infertility testing is crucial in order to be sure every couple's treatment is as effective as possible upon the start of care.
• Emergency Care
  Cetrotide and Ganirelix can be irritating and you may see redness at injection site; this is common and does not represent a true allergic reaction. Using ice at the injection site can help with discomfort and redness. It should go away within 24 hours. If you develop breathing changes or other serious signs/symptoms of a severe allergic reaction (very rare), call 911/go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

• Endometriosis
  Endometriosis is a common, treatable disease that affects over six million women in the US and Canada and is known to be present in thirty percent of women with infertility. If detected and treated in a timely manner, endometriosis does not have to affect your fertility success.
• Pregnancy
  Also called a tubal pregnancy, this is a condition in which the embryo implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube, although it can also occur in the ovary or abdominal cavity. If such a pregnancy is allowed to continue, it may eventually rupture the fallopian tube and cause life-threatening hemorrhage. Such a pregnancy can never be sustained and often leads to decreased or complete loss of function in the affected tube.
• Labor and Delivery
  Because many miscarriages are due to these chromosomal abnormalities, one mode of treatment involves preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A). This test allows for genetic analysis of embryos prior to implantation via IVF. Genetic testing increases the odds of a healthy pregnancy and childbirth and dramatically reduces the chance for miscarriage by allowing embryologists to implant only healthy, chromosomally normal embryos.

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Traditional ultrasound tests allow your doctor to assess the health of your ovaries, uterus, and follicles. Transvaginal ultrasound can look for tiny follicles (called antral follicles) in the ovaries. The total antral follicle count should be around 10 to confirm a normal ovarian egg supply. The ultrasound can also supply information about the lining of the uterus (the endometrium), which is typically 8mm or more around ovulation and has a certain ultrasound pattern.
