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 (humanmenopausal 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.
