Welcome to IVF Michigan
IVF Michigan offers all of the latest techniques in reproductive technology
including ICSI, assisted hatching, cytoplasmic transfer, and blastocyst
transfer. Our state of the art IVF lab is one of the best in the United States,
and is accredited by the College of American Pathologists. We offer our patients
cutting edge technology with excellent medical management that focuses on each
couple individually. Click on the links below to learn more about Assisted
Reproductive Technology at IVF Michigan.
In a fertile couple, pregnancy begins with the release of an ovum (egg) from the
woman's ovaries. The egg enters the fallopian tube where it meets with the sperm
that have traveled there, following intercourse, from the vagina. The sperm
normally fertilize the egg in the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg, now called
an embryo, begins to divide and in three days contains many cells. At this time,
the embryo moves from the fallopian tube to the uterine cavity where it "floats"
for another two to three days. The embryo then implants in the uterine wall with
a resultant pregnancy. If the fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged,
fertilization and embryo transport cannot take place. In these cases in order to
achieve a pregnancy we have to place fertilized eggs (i.e., embryos) directly
into the uterus. IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) uterine transfer achieves
remarkable pregnancies in women with hopelessly damaged fallopian tubes. IVF can
also help a couple with male factor infertility (e.g., low sperm count, motility
or poor quality) achieve pregnancy when it is combined with the ICSI procedure.
Couples with unexplained infertility, especially those who may have problems
with sperm-egg interaction or problems with the fallopian tubes picking up the
egg can be helped with IVF
To prepare her body for the IVF procedure the woman receives hormone injections
to stimulate development of the ovarian follicles, the sac-like structures that
contain the
eggs. Administering hormones increases the chances of retrieving many ripened
eggs, each one capable of being fertilized and producing a pregnancy. HMG (human
menopausal gonadotropin) and recombinant FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) are
the hormones used to stimulate the production of follicles.

The Reproductive Center now offers an IVF Partners in Risk Program to help
eligible couples who have limited financial resources or those who have no
insurance coverage for IVF procedures. We offer the following information to
assist you in understanding our IVF Partners in Risk Program. This program was
developed to help couples plan for their treatment where the fixed cost is known
before starting IVF. The unpredictable clinical outcomes associated with IVF
coupled with the high cost, can have a great impact on the patient’s resources,
emotionally and financially. Generally, health insurance companies exclude IVF
procedures as part of covered services. Our IVF Partners in Risk Program was
designed to limit the patient’s financial concern if more than one IVF cycle is
needed to achieve pregnancy. By defining the amount of money “at risk”, our
program allows the patient to know exactly what funds will be available for
pursuing other options should IVF not be successful.
Our program is offered to eligible patients as a financial opportunity for them
to consider. We do not encourage patients to participate. We ask that they
carefully compare the benefits of our IVF Partners in Risk Program versus
traditional fee-for-service payments. Regardless of your decision and
willingness to participate, the care provided will not be affected.
Robert L. Collins, M.D. specializes in tubal ligation reversal, an operation to
repair tied or obstructed fallopian tubes. It is a highly successful treatment
for women who, for many different reasons, want to have a baby after tubal
ligation. This surgery gives women another option besides In-Vitro Fertilization
(IVF) to try and conceive. Dr. Collins has more than 20 years experience in
microscopic tubal ligation reversal and success rates exceed 88%.
Our goal is to provide you with the most current, comprehensive, and most of
all, quality care. Unfortunately, this procedure is an elective procedure and is
not covered by the vast majority of insurance plans. Our goal, in these cases,
is to minimize the financial impact of the treatment you require by containing
our costs as much as possible and passing that savings on to you. We will gladly
verify if you have coverage for this procedure with your insurance company.
