Published:
February 25, 2012
Most patients know not to smoke, don’t they? Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean that they (and their partners) don’t smoke, or that they tell the truth to their doc, or that they aren’t exposed to significant amounts of secondhand smoke. Approximately 30% of reproductive age women and 35% of reproductive age men in the [...]

By
Kevin L. Winslow, M.D., P.A.

Published:
February 23, 2012
Approximately 40% of infertility is related to the female, 30% to the male – in 20% there may be a combined problem (10% of infertility is unexplained). For that reason patients are encouraged to come in as a couple to review both partners’ history. The female history will focus on the menstrual cycle, which gives [...]

Paying For Infertility Care
By

Published:
February 9, 2012
Diagnosis and treatment of infertility is expensive. Unfortunately most insurance companies continue to look at infertility as an elective part of health care – frequently not covering diagnostic testing or treatment. Infertility costs for the most common treatment (i.e. ovulation induction with washed intrauterine insemination) ranges between $500 – $600 at the Florida Institute for [...]

Egg Freezing
By

Published:
January 18, 2012
The ability to freeze a human egg offers at least two important options for women: fertility preservation for women faced with potentially sterilizing therapies and individuals postponing childbearing, as well as couples requiring in vitro fertilization (IVF) who are ethically opposed to freezing (pre)embryos. Being able to freeze eggs also allows for the establishment of [...]

Following passage of the Wyden bill in 1991, fertility programs in the United States were required to report their in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy data to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Why Can’t I Have Another Baby?
By
Kevin L. Winslow, M.D., P.A.
|
Published:
November 30, 2011
Almost half of infertility occurs following an initial pregnancy that may have occurred soon after discontinuing contraception. This problem, known as secondary infertility, is often overlooked or downplayed by physicians who see these patients as being fertile and are then reluctant to evaluate or treat. Maternal age and the duration of secondary infertility are critical [...]
