As IVF has become more successful over the years there has been a disturbing
trend to triplet, quad or higher embryo number in some programs. We have
always tried to avoid pregnancies with these "higher order" multiple embryos. In
2001 we recognized that our cryo embryo pregnancy rates were approaching the
success
rates of our fresh transfers.

In Vitro Fertilization is a complex process that was developed in 1978. Louise
Brown, the world's first "test tube baby", was born in England. Now, the
procedure is a common treatment for infertility, and has helped numerous
patients create the families they so desire. In Vitro Fertilization technically
mean
"fertilization outside of the body." While considered an experimental procedure
for years, IVF has been a proven way for many couples to build their family.
Many insurances are now recognizing the need for insurance coverage for
infertility, and some offer partial coverage for the procedures leading up to
IVF, medications, and the actual egg retrieval process.
