Fertility Treatment Considerations for Single People

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

“Can single individuals get fertility treatments?”

It’s a question that’s often asked, and the answer is “yes”. Of course, that doesn’t mean that those women (and sometimes men) don’t have unique considerations.

For instance, singles should consider:

Which fertility treatments are best suited to their particular situations.
Whether they have a strong support system in place.
How they will get to and from appointments, especially if they need assistance driving after a particular treatment.

In today’s society, there is no reason for someone to forgo the idea of becoming a mommy or daddy simply because he or she has not found the ideal partner. Many reproductive health specialists, RSI included, welcome single persons and wish to help them on their journeys.

5 Fertility Myths - Debunked!

Myth #1: If I’ve had one child naturally, I can easily have another.

Actually, numerous women experience “secondary infertility” every year, which is infertility after the female has already had a child.

Myth #2: Infertility is mainly a woman’s issue.

Not true. Men and women have an equal chance of being infertile.

Myth #3: Fertility treatments are always expensive.

There are many fertility treatments that are quite economical and may even be covered partially by insurance.

Myth #4: IVF is the only fertility treatment.

Though IVF does get a lot of press, there are plenty of other ways to successfully treat infertility.

Myth #5: No one can really tell why men and women are infertile.

Certainly, there are cases when infertility baffles even the most knowledgeable reproductive health specialists. But in the majority of cases, the cause of infertility can be uncovered.

IVF Treatment without Needles?

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

One of the common concerns faced by numerous women undergoing (or planning to undergo) IVF treatment is that they’ll have to become intimately acquainted with needles. Though most females simply accept this as a reality, some do decline IVF based on their serious loathing of shots.

Reproductive health specialists and scientists have long recognized this stumbling block and are now testing a shot-free IVF treatment. This needleless treatment takes the form of a vaginal progesterone cream, which requires no invasive techniques.

Rates for pregnancies for the small group of participants who helped with initial research were the same as traditional IVF treatments (with needles.) However, some women did still experience side effects in line with shot-related IVF procedures.
