Family Planning

An open space for all - family planning can come in several different shapes and sizes, and we want to cater our services to what you need. We'll listen first - and then offer our best approaches to your priority.


Fertility Evaluations

Ovulation induction is for women who are trying to conceive. The medication and procedure are used to stimulate the follicles in your ovaries, allowing healthier and more eggs to be produced in your ovaries. A set ovulation date is also easier for couples trying to conceive since the date is monitored by the physician. Medications such as Clomid, Gonadotropins, and Letrazole are often used to induce ovulation in women. 


Infectious Disease Panel

With this Infectious Diseases Panel, we offer blood tests for HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis B & C. HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis B & C are blood-borne infectious diseases that can be transmitted through the placenta and cause long-term health consequences for both the mother and the child. HTLV I & II are human RNA retrovirus that can cause a serious sexually transmitted disease that is related to leukemia, myelopathy, and Syphilis. Additionally, the blood test still helps us check for Rubella (German measles) and varicella (chicken pox), which can cause serious birth defects. 


Ovarian Reserve Testing

This test must be done on cycle Day 2 or 3 of your menstrual cycle to evaluate ovarian function. To determine your ovarian reserve, there are several tests available. It is important to know your ovarian reserve before beginning your fertility treatment because it allows us to create a personalized treatment that will show optimal results.

  • The tests we are currently using in our office are:
  • Cycle Day 2 or Cycle Day 3 FSH level (normal range: 5-10mIU/ml) 
  • Baseline antral follicle counts (AFC) (normal range: 5-10 each ovary) 
  • AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone )level (normal range: above 2.0ng /ml)

Pelvic Ultrasound SIS (sonohysterogram) Testing

All patients need a pelvic ultrasound and SIS test to evaluate the status of the ovaries, tubes, and uterus. The ultrasound can help us evaluate the ovaries and see the uterine size and when any abnormality exists. It can also identify if any fluid has accumulated in the tubes.

SIS will help to evaluate the uterine cavity and to determine the tubal patency; therefore, it is very important to finish the SIS test before the embryo transfer. HSG and Hysteroscopy are the alternative SIS tests.


Genetic Testings

The following genetic carrier testing is recommended by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
  • Cystic fibrosis testing
  • Fragile X testing
  • Some other genetic testing may be recommended by our doctor after the initial consultation, such as Karyotype and Y chromosome micro-deletion.
