Comprehensive IVF & Fertility Services

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) involves retrieving eggs from the ovaries and fertilizing them in a lab with sperm from a partner or donor to develop embryos. An embryo is then placed into a uterus with the goal of pregnancy.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a treatment that involves inserting sperm from a partner or donor directly into the uterus during the most fertile time in your cycle. This increases the chance that the sperm will fertilize the egg and result in pregnancy.

Miscarriage can be extremely emotionally challenging. Most people who experience pregnancy loss go on to have normal, healthy pregnancies. If you’ve experienced two or more miscarriages, treatment for recurrent pregnancy loss could help. Fertility Associates of Memphis is highly experienced in evaluating recurrent miscarriage and determining which treatment is best to prevent future losses.

Genetic testing with Fertility Associates of Memphis involves running tests on each embryo before transferring to a uterus. This may help to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy by reducing the risk of implanting an embryo with genetic abnormalities. This process can also decrease chances of miscarriage, which is often associated with chromosomal issues in the embryo.

Male infertility is a common contributing factor to a couple’s inability to conceive. Approximately 50% of all infertility is associated with a male factor. Infertility is a complex issue, and it’s just as important to test the male partner as it is to test the female partner. The first step is a semen analysis to determine sperm quality and quantity. From there, we can determine if there are further underlying issues and how to address them.

Egg freezing is a process in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and preserved for future use. You may choose to delay parenthood for any number of reasons, whether it’s a current medical issue, professional goals, family medical history, or simply a desire to have a child later in life.

You deserve a medical team that understands your unique fertility needs. We tailor each treatment plan to the specific needs of the patient, whether we’re working with a same-sex couple, transgender patient, or someone who desires single parenthood. There are so many options for building your family your own way.

Using donor eggs can be an option for anyone without healthy eggs, including same-sex male couples. Donor eggs can be obtained from a frozen egg bank or used fresh immediately after they are retrieved from the donor. When undergoing IVF with donor eggs, the donated eggs are fertilized, and a single embryo is placed into the uterus of the person carrying the pregnancy. Deciding to use an egg donor can be an emotionally complex step, and we are here to support you throughout your journey. Fertility Associates of Memphis has an outstanding in-house donor program with a robust database of egg donors.

In surrogacy an embryo is placed into the uterus of a gestational carrier (also known as a surrogate), who will carry the pregnancy. The gestational carrier isn’t genetically related to the child. Surrogacy can be a path to parenthood for patients who cannot carry a pregnancy, including male couples and some transgender people.
