General Questions

If you’re under 35 and haven’t conceived after a year of frequent, unprotected intercourse, or if you’re 35 or older and haven’t conceived after six months, you should consult a specialist.

If you have had reproductive issues in the past or have a disease that affects your fertility, you should consult a fertility professional before attempting to conceive.

The Beverly Hills Fertility difference is based on our Fertility Specialists’ and scientific team’s knowledge and expertise, our best-practice procedures – including a full pre-treatment assessment – and our principles. It is crucial to us to embrace a diverse range of potential parents, to treat each person as an individual, to provide genuinely honest advice, and to work tirelessly to explore all possible pathways for your success stories.

Yes, the outcomes vary greatly. It can be difficult to compare because success is also determined by the average age of the women who visit the clinic and if the clinic accepts more difficult situations. Check the small print on any given rates – if the amount is for women under 35, for example, it will be substantially more than if all women are included. Because of our complete diagnosis, superior technology, and tailored treatment approaches, Beverly Hills Fertility has a high success rate by any standard. Our objective is to find you the quickest pathways to parenthood possible.

A pelvic ultrasound is included in all initial appointments. If this is your first visit, we’ll need to know the answers to the following four fundamental questions:

  • Are you able to produce and release a healthy egg every month?
  • Is there a sufficient supply of swimming sperm?
  • Are the fallopian tubes open, allowing the egg and sperm to combine?
  • Is the uterus ready for implantation?

We can take immediate action since most patients desire to become pregnant as soon as possible. The majority of tests may be conducted within a month (or one menstrual cycle) following the initial consultation. We’ll organize your individual tests based on your availability and the timing of your menstrual cycle.

Yes, that is something we encourage. Infertility can be caused by either male or female issues, therefore we will need to have a thorough talk with both couples about their health history and family history in order to make an appropriate assessment. Furthermore, fertility treatment choices frequently need the cooperation of both parties. If your spouse is there, we will be able to explain the process and procedures that are open to both of you without the need for a separate session.

Infertility occurs in both men and women, and affects almost equal numbers of men and women. One-third of infertility is ascribed to the female partner, one-third to the male partner, and one-third to a mix of difficulties in both parties. However, even after a thorough diagnostic work-up, around 20% of infertility cases remain “unexplained.”

Infertility can be caused by a variety of factors. A healthy egg must meet a healthy sperm, fertilize, mature, and find a suitable environment to grow in order for a pregnancy to be successful (a receptive uterus). Problems with any of these processes might make it difficult to get pregnant. A woman’s body may not produce an egg every month owing to hormonal abnormalities, or a man’s body may not produce enough motile sperm. The fallopian tubes might become obstructed or non-functional, making it impossible for the egg and sperm to meet. Perhaps infertility is caused by uterine abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, or infections.

A medical history of both the female and male couples should be obtained before beginning a reproductive evaluation. Both parties will next be subjected to a physical examination, which will include a gynecological exam and a pelvic ultrasound for the woman.

The guy will be subjected to a sperm analysis, while the lady will be subjected to a hormone check.

A woman’s tubal patency (whether the fallopian tubes are open or obstructed) and uterine cavity are also evaluated.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) are the most often used therapies for infertility. Each couple will be evaluated individually by the fertility doctor, who will then outline any unique treatment plan based on their specific circumstances. In certain circumstances, comfort is all that is required.

While you will have some adverse effects from the hormonal drugs used during an IVF cycle, these symptoms will be similar to what you would experience during a typical menstrual period. Bloating, breast soreness, and a minor emotional response are the most frequent side effects to expect, with a greater proclivity for those effects with larger dosages and/or a longer duration on the prescription.

There is no conclusive scientific evidence that stress has a harmful influence on fertility therapy. BHFC , on the other hand, believes that fertility therapy is both a physical and emotional journey. As a result, via our health and wellness program, we provide continuous support as well as actual resources to assist you in dealing with the stressors of fertility examinations and treatment.

Yes, you can have sexual contact throughout your treatment cycle; however, we recommend that you refrain from intercourse for at least two days before and two days after your egg collection. We also recommend that you refrain from having sexual contact for two days following your embryo transfer. This will be discussed with you with your fertility expert or nurse coordinator.

A healthy lifestyle is advised both before and throughout pregnancy. It is also critical to keep a healthy diet and exercise routine in order to optimize your reproductive health. We urge that you speak with your fertility expert or nurse coordinator about your specific situation.

We suggest that you avoid strenuous exercise while undergoing fertility treatment, although gentle exercise may be fine. If you are considering exercising during your fertility treatment we recommend discussing this with your fertility specialist or nurse coordinator first.

We understand that this can be a difficult and stressful time. We offer a range of options which we can discuss thoroughly through consultation. Contact your nurse coordinator to begin with and she will be able to advise the best course of action for you.

Tests and Treatments

When you discuss your particular history and treatment needs with our fertility specialist, we are delighted to provide you with the most recent BHFC pregnancy outcomes and help you assess your chances of success.

Absolutely, we treat all patients equally regardless of their sexuality.

Absolutely, we treat all patients equally regardless of their marital status or gender.

When taking fertility treatments, you may usually travel short distances. However, if the timing of a surgery is critical, any scheduled trips may need to be postponed until after an egg retrieval or IVF round. Depending on the therapy you choose, your doctor might advise you on certain activity limitations.

If you need to take your fertility medicine on a plane, notify the BHFC before the screening begins and keep it separate from your other baggage.

Fertility drugs are either orally or intravenously, depending on the therapy and the patient’s circumstances. While the notion of giving oneself injections on a daily basis may seem scary, patients adjust well to the practice, especially with the instruction we provide. Your spouse might also be of great assistance by administering the shots or providing emotional support.

When you inject your meds, the needle is incredibly fine and may feel like a pin prick when it pokes your skin. You may feel a small burning sensation as you inject your medication, but this normally lasts only a few seconds.

Normally, this is not a serious issue. However, if you find you have missed a dosage, please notify us immediately so that we can change your treatment plan accordingly. We may advise you to adjust your next dose or change the course of your therapy.

Unfortunately, we are unable to take back unused medication. We do our best to prescribe the right dosages, but in some cases a person may react differently to the medication than expected.

In instances where you have extra, unopened medication, you can speak to us about possible donation options.

The most important single factor in determining a woman’s fertility and chances of getting pregnant is her age. After the age of 30, the quality and number of eggs begin to diminish, and your best chances of conceiving are before the age of 35. By the age of 40, your odds of a naturally occurring pregnancy have dramatically decreased, and IVF success rates are also lower than for younger women.

However, as part of our Full Service Fertility Treatment Program, we provide Donor Egg and Surrogacy Programs.

BFHC commits itself to upholding the basic unit of the society which is the family. In line with this, we offer a wide range of services you can choose from as your personalized treatment plan. Among these are In Vitro Fertilization, Genetic Screening, Sperm and Egg Donation, Surrogacy, Egg Freezing, LGBTQ+ Family Planning, and other fertility services. You may visit Our Services page for additional information.

When it comes to treatment effectiveness, it’s tricky to provide a general answer. The success of your procedure will be determined by a number of distinct circumstances. When evaluating your chances of success, we will take into account your age, pre-existing conditions, medical history, and other factors. Our experts will discuss your best alternatives with you once we have a better understanding of your specific circumstances.
