To date, over three million children have been born through the process of In vitro fertilization [IVF] worldwide since the first IVF baby was born in 1978. This process is often recommended to women who have failed to conceive with less costly and invasive options, those with male factor infertility or blocked fallopian tubes. Data was first collected on the number of ART [Assisted Reproductive Technology] births worldwide in 1989 - and in that year only about 30,000 babies were born following ART. Two years ago, that figure had risen to 200,000 babies born per year from about 1 million IVF cycles performed worldwide. For the many Americans who are debating the possibility of entering the IVF treatment process, consultation with a specialist is recommended to find out if IVF treatment is right for them. For Colorado residents, exploring the In-vitro fertilization treatment options, there is simply no better partner in the process than Rocky Mountain Fertility Center.

Some patients are seen at a fertility clinic because their fallopian tubes are blocked. Options for treating blocked fallopian tubes are either fixing the fallopian tubes or In Vitro Fertilization. Whether IVF or tubal surgery is a better option depends on how much damage has occurred to the fallopian tube, the patient's age and the male partner's sperm count. Patients with tubal infertility should seek the advice of a board certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility specialist to get an expert opinion on their best treatment option.
Patients are also seen at Infertility Clinics in Colorado for male factor infertility. About 30% of infertility is due to a problem with the sperm. Sometimes Intrauterine insemination may be utilized to increase pregnancy rates but at other times In Vitro fertilization is needed. Whether IUI, IVF or donor sperm is utilized will depend upon the specific sperm count. Factors analyzed include the count, the appearance of abnormally shaped sperm [abnormal morphology] or low sperm motility ["poor swimmers"]. The lower the count and motility the more likely In vitro fertilization will be needed.
Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis [PGD] is also a common reason women seek In vitro Fertilization treatment in Colorado. PGD allows the team at Rocky Mountain Fertility Center to test a patient's embryos for genetic disorders before performing implanting the embryos. This test is especially important for those parents whose children are at high risk of inheriting a genetic defect. Once a couple has embryos created thru IVF, one cell from each of the fertilized embryos is tested for a genetic abnormality. The specialists at Rocky Mountain Fertility Center currently have the ability to test for hundreds of genetic disorders including genetic abnormalities seen in babies born to women over 35 years of age.
Women who need IVF may be interested in participating in a pilot study to evaluate the technique of egg freezing. Participation in this study will provide infertility specialists with important information to allow fertility specialists to offer this technology to women who wish to freeze their eggs before cancer treatment, freeze their eggs to postpone child bearing and freeze excess eggs in IVF cycles rather than embryos. Participation in the study will include a standard IVF cycle at a significantly discounted rate. Those interested in participating should call the Rocky Mountain fertility Center for details.
Not all women will need In Vitro Fertilization therapy in order to conceive, but those that do need In Vitro Fertilization in Colorado seek the treatment at Rocky Mountain Fertility Center due to their high success rates, cutting edge technology, compassionate care and competitive pricing.
