 Fertility Center Florida
Infertility affects nearly 5 million couples in the United States. One in 12 couples will experience difficulty conceiving. At The Palm Beach Fertility Center we understand the frustration and uncertainty you may be experiencing. We offer the infertile couple the latest and most advanced testing and treatment services available, tempered with high standards of patient care, education and support.
Over one million children have been conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), a term that literally means "fertilization outside the body." IVF may be recommended for couples that have not been or cannot be helped with other fertility treatments. After the patient's menstrual cycle has been regulated with the aid of oral contraceptives and hormone medications, eggs are harvested from the ovaries and fertilized in the laboratory with the male partner's or a donor's sperm. The embryos are allowed to develop for a few days, at which time the best one(s) are placed in the uterus in the hope that one or more will result in a full-term pregnancy.
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) involve retrieval of one or more eggs to increase the chance of successful conception. ART services include in vitro fertilization; GIFT, ZIFT and blastocyst transfer; assisted hatching; gestational surrogacy; and embryo and semen cryopreservation. A team of specialists including reproductive endocrinologists, nurses and embryologists work together with each patient to decide on which treatment is best, both medically and emotionally. Counseling services are available to help patients through the entire process.

Daniel K. Hellerstein, MD

Infertility is the inability to conceive after at least one year of unprotected intercourse. Since most people are able to conceive within this time, physicians recommend thatcouples unable to do so be assessed for fertility problems.
In men, hormone disorders, illness, reproductive anatomy trauma and obstruction, and sexual dysfunction can temporarily or permanently affect sperm and preventconception. Some disorders become more difficult to treat the longer they persist without treatment.
Sperm development (spermatogenesis) takes place in the ducts (seminiferous tubules) of the testes. Cell division produces mature sperm cells (spermatozoa) that contain one-half of a man's genetic code. Each spermatogenesis cycle consists of six stages and takes about 16 days to complete. Approximately five cycles are needed to produce one mature sperm. Energy-generating organelles (mitochondria) inside each sperm power its tail (flagellum) so that it can swim to the female egg once inside the vagina. Sperm development is ultimately controlled by the endocrine (hormonal) system that comprises the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
Because sperm development takes over 2 months, illness that was present during the first cycle may affect mature sperm, regardless of a man's health at the time ofexamination.

Amazing Births
The Arvigo techniques of Abdominal Massage™ is a bodywork technique addressing the position and health of the pelvic and abdominal organs, targeting symptoms such as painful or irregular menstruation, low backache, infertility, endometriosis, PMS, difficult menopause and displaced uterus.
Developed by Dr. Rosita Arvigo after more than three decades of research and study, Mayan Abdominal Massage is a non-invasive, external therapy method that guides the digestive and reproductive organs back into their proper positions. This releases physical and emotional congestion, improves the function of the organs, and drastically enhances overall health and well-being. Mayan Abdominal Massage helps relieve many pelvic and abdominal conditions typically treated by drugs or surgery.
Abdominal Massage can help by freeing & diminishing old adhesions from invasive treatments or traumas to the pelvic and abdominal area, including fibroid tumors,endometriosis, cesarean delivery, abdominal surgery, infection or trauma. In addition, it can improve the blood flow to the pelvic organs and improve the uterine lining, helpwith painful menstruation, aid in digestion, as well as help urinary incontinence and bladder problems.
Whereas standard mainstream approaches focus on relieving symptoms to fix gynecological complaints, the ancient therapy of MAM focuses more on the root cause, emotional & physical, thereby relieving and preventing the progression of symptoms and allowing the body to heal itself.
