The relationship between abnormal female autoimmunity and infertility is a controversial one. However, based on the accumulated research at the Center for Human Reproduction, our team believes that there is a need for a more aggressive infertility treatment when a woman has a sub-clinical level of autoimmune dysfunction (when her autoimmune abnormality does not require other medical treatment). The link between abnormal autoimmunity and repeated miscarriages was first documented by the doctors at Center for Human Reproduction. In the video, Dr. Norbert Gleicher, Medical Director of the Center for Human Reproduction, explains how CHR may be able to help women with abnormal autoimmunity conceive and carry the baby to term.

Frustrated by long waiting list for an egg donor? Center for Human Reproduction in New York can be a savior to patients frustrated by this, or those who look for specific qualities in their egg donors. At CHR, recipients can be matched with egg donors who are very close to their wishes within one or two days. With 64% clinical pregnancy rate (with only one or two embryos transferred per cycle) and 80+% cumulative pregnancy rate (using both fresh and frozen embryos), participants in CHR's egg donor program have a very good chance of adding a much-waited new member to their families.

Unique expertise in treating women with aging ovaries developed by CHR in the past 5 years explained by Dr. David Barad of Center for Human Reproduction. Learn more Premature Ovarian Aging at: https://goo.gl/rTDbTU Most fertility clinics give up on women with older ovaries and recommend using donor eggs. At CHR, the medical team has developed a protocol that promotes the development of the eggs as they rest and mature in a womans ovary over many months. Using DHEA and other hormonal medications, CHR has been able to achieve an unusually high pregnancy rate of roughly 17% even in women over 40.

Unexplained Infertility as a diagnosis - Drs. David Barad and Norbert Gleicher of Center for Human Reproduction dont believe in Unexplained Infertility as a diagnosis. Too often, underlying cause of infertility is overlooked when Unexplained Infertility is handed out as a diagnosis. By identifying the real cause of infertility through tests in age-specific ovarian function, autoimmunity, genetics and other areas, CHR has been able to focus the infertility treatment more accurately on the root cause. In 90% of our patients, CHR is able to give the correct diagnosis within 2-3 weeks, instead of fleeing to the non-diagnosis of Unexplained Infertility.

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains that having low functional ovarian reserve (LFOR) is not the same as outright menopause. Women with low functional ovarian reserve (LFOR) cannot produce the quality or quantity of eggs typical for a woman in her age group, but they still have a good chance of pregnancy with appropriate treatment. Learn more about LFOR at: https://goo.gl/zJgbtH

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains that "every follicle counts" for women with diminished ovarian reserve (also known as DOR, low functional ovarian reserve, or LFOR), who have a lower follicle count. Treatment must focus on maximizing the follicles that are still available. Learn more about LFOR at: https://goo.gl/ECpv7g

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains how women with diminished ovarian reserve (also known as DOR, low functional ovarian reserve, or LFOR) have very sensitive ovaries.

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains why CHR does not use birth control pills in women with low Functional ovarian reserve (LFOR) before an IVF cycle. Many centers use birth control pills to artificially "batch" patients' cycles, but the practice reduces pregnancy chances in women with LFOR. Learn more about LFOR at: https://goo.gl/gtj0x2

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad discusses how patients can go through preimplantation genetic screening and end up with no embryo to transfer. CHR does not push patients to do PGS because even embryos with abnormal diagnosis can develop into normal, healthy babies. More about PGS at: https://goo.gl/C97aUU

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains the limitation of Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS). PGS often give false-positives because some cells of one embryo can be abnormal when others are normal. Learn more about PGS at: https://goo.gl/tVMvYv

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains that that the false positive rate of PGS and embryos' natural ability to correct chromosomal abnormalities means that many embryos that are being discarded after PGS as "abnormal" can grow into healthy, normal babies. Learn more about PGS at: https://goo.gl/cwUUh6

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains how the FMR1 gene has an important function in controlling ovarian function, and certain forms of the gene lead to premature depletion of follicles in young women with POA. Learn more about the FMR1 gene at: https://goo.gl/Vwqlrf

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains why attempting preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) actually does more harm than good for women with low functional functional ovarian reserve (LFOR). Learn more about PGS at: https://goo.gl/cj0aCs

The Center for Human Reproduction's Dr. David H. Barad explains that women with low functional ovarian reserve (LFOR) need to make sure that they are not being treated like every other patient in the IVF center. With cautious treatments using higher doses of medication and pre-cycle treatments, many women with LFOR can still conceive with their own eggs. Learn more about treatment for LFOR at: https://goo.gl/hA8zhO

Patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), either because they are over age 40 or because they are young but have premature ovarian aging (POA), often seek out CHR for its focused, research-driven expertise. Dr. Norbert Gleicher, CHR's Medical Director, explains that IVF protocols designed specifically for patients with DOR are often not available at IVF centers, and that is why many long-distance patients come to CHR for their fertility treatments.

Retrieving eggs early in an IVF cycle vastly improves pregnancy rates for young women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), according to a new study from CHR, a fertility center in New York City. Dr. Norbert Gleicher, CHR's Medical Director, explains how the early retrieval protocol, developed at CHR, works, and why this approach might improve pregnancy chances DOR.

CHR's research found that retrieving eggs early in an IVF cycle, when they are still in the 14-18 mm range, vastly improves egg/embryo quality and pregnancy rates for women over 43. D.r Norbert Gleicher, CHR's Medical Director, explains why egg quality is better and pregnancy rates higher when eggs are retrieved earlier in women over 43 who are undergoing IVF cycles. Learn more about early egg retrieval at: https://goo.gl/gRwW7e

Many couples come to CHR, a specialized fertility center in New York City, after being told that their chance of achieving a pregnancy with IVF is less than 1% if they wanted to get pregnant with their own eggs. Dr. Norbert Gleicher, CHR's Medical Director, explains that this "less than 1%" prognosis is often far too low an estimate, as long as patients can still produce a few embryos in an IVF cycle. At CHR, even women over 42 and 43 still have 5-7% chance of pregnancy if they have 2-3 embryos for transfer. Learn more about infertility treatments: https://goo.gl/phJN2F

There's still hope after failed IVF. At the Center for Human Reproduction in Manhattan, we specialize in difficult cases - including patients with multiple past failed IVF cycles, as well as women over 40. Contact us online: https://goo.gl/ge5TMM Or call us today at (212) 994-4400 to ask us anything or schedule an appointment. An unsuccessful IVF cycle can be emotionally and financially devastating. We know this well, because most of our patients come to us after having at least one failed IVF cycle at another fertility center. At CHR, we specialize in helping patients with tough cases of infertility - and we know that failed IVF cycles can provide clues for a successful next IVF treatment. Our confidence on this issue derives from the fact that we have helped so many patients over the years to conceive, in spite of their long histories of unsuccessful fertility treatments. Many patients come to CHR after their first or even second and third fertility center give up on them, denying them further treatments unless the patients agree to use donor eggs. CHR is committed to helping patients get pregnant with their own eggs. Learn more at: https://goo.gl/oYaVH2

Dr. Norbert Gleicher of the Center for Human Reproduction in New York City explains the three clinical trials on PRP (platelet-rich plasma) use for fertility purposes. The newest PRP trial, PRP3, is designed to test the hypothesis that injecting PRP into the ovaries of women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) might help them produce more eggs in IVF cycles. In the other two PRP clinical trials, CHR is investigating whether PRP injections into the ovaries can "reawaken" the dormant follicles in women who cannot produce eggs at all in IVF cycles. Women whose ovaries do produce eggs but not enough of them are eligible to participate in the PRP3 trial. More information about this trial is available here: http://bit.ly/365F7MD
