Pennsylvania - Women's Clinic Ltd
We expect 85% of all couples to achieve a pregnancy within 12 to 18 months of
unprotected intercourse. In other words, 15% of couples will remain unsuccessful
in their attempts at pregnancy and are thus labeled as infertile couples.
There are numerous causes for infertility. Approximately 40% of infertility is
due to female factors and 40% due solely to male factors. Twenty percent of
couples will have both female and male problems. By carrying out a thorough work
up, the causes for infertility are usually able to be defined within about two
menstrual cycles.
The In Vitro Fertilization Program of Women's Clinic, Ltd. was one of the first
private practice IVF programs in the United States. This began as a concept in
February 1984. We initiated our first patient stimulation in September 1986 and
had our first pregnancy in April 1987. Baby #1 was delivered in January 1988. We
have continued to be extremely successful ever since. Our pregnancy rates have
always been quite good and indeed, at a top level for the state of Pennsylvania.
In 2006, our standard IVF clinical pregnancy rate, proven by ultrasound, per
embryo transfer has been 56.3% for all comers to the program. Over 300 babies
have been delivered from our program. Vincent A. Pellegrini, M.D. is the
Clinical Director of the IVF Program. Dr. Minassian and Dr. Fehnel are actively
involved as well.
Our IVF program is a very well controlled, personal and individualized program.
There are only a few people involved in the day to day care of the IVF patients
and therefore, this has allowed us to develop very close relationships with our
patients, while keeping their situation very finely tuned. This is part of the
reason for our continued success. Attention to detail is another. Our IVF
patients are very carefully screened to eliminate the presence of underlying
conditions that might diminish their chances for pregnancy. Old records are
extensively reviewed. Our patients are not placed into predetermined protocols,
but are all studied and handled individually. A low drug dose stimulation is
used for almost all patients, unless the clinical situation requires otherwise.
It is our feeling that this produces better egg quality and enhances the
potential of pregnancy.
