COVID-19 has brought clarity to many patients who want to take the next step in having a family.

Maybe you have been advised to pursue in vitro fertilization or another type of assisted reproductive technology to conceive a child. Although procedures like in vitro are powerful, they are not always necessary. Unfortunately, many couples turn to these very costly, invasive procedures early on, before getting the quality infertility care they deserve and considering other options. One fact that is true in much of medicine is also true with infertility care: fixing the problem instead of bypassing it is often the simplest and most cost-effective way to conceive.

Maybe you have been told that you have a zero sperm count and that you need to find a sperm donor to have a child. Perhaps this was after a very invasive sperm extraction procedure that had lasting health consequences. That might not be the case at all; there may be usable sperm that can be extracted safely using more modern, innovative, and less-invasive approaches.
