Fertility Treatment and Support

Infertility is something that many people struggle with. Worldwide, about one in six people experience infertility.1 Your fertility specialist will conduct comprehensive fertility testing to try to find a cause for your infertility and create a treatment plan based on what we find.

Fertility testing and treatment can be an involved process, and your specialist will be there to help you through it from the beginning. The resources here can help you learn more about what to expect before beginning any testing or treatment. You can also ask your board-certified fertility specialist any questions you have about the treatments you may undergo.

RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association

One of the resources outside the First Fertility network that your fertility specialist may recommend is RESOLVE. RESOLVE helps empower people struggling with infertility by offering support, community, advocacy opportunities, and connections. Just some of the topics RESOLVE has resources on include:

  • Managing Infertility Stress
  • Infertility and Relationships
  • Pregnancy After Infertility

Struggles with infertility, fertility testing, and treatment can bring up a lot of emotions for hopeful parents. Your fertility specialist can refer you to a mental health counselor or recommend fertility support groups. Support groups help you meet people struggling with infertility and going through the same thing as you while providing a space to express how you’re feeling without judgment.

Holistic health options are available as well. We can recommend fertility-focused massage therapists, fertility acupuncture, and more. Just talk to your fertility team about the types of care you may be interested in.  

Fertility Services Available at First Fertility Clinics

Fertility specialists at First Fertility clinics can help you begin your fertility journey with fertility testing and personalized fertility treatments. Some fertility treatment options available include:

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is available as well. PGT is a type of testing that identifies potential genetic conditions in embryos created with the help of IVF. There are two common types of PGT testing: PGT-Aneuploidy (PGT-A), which tests for chromosomal abnormalities, and PGT-Monogenic (PGT-M), which tests for single-gene disorders like Huntington’s or cystic fibrosis.

If you have questions about fertility testing or treatments, speak to one of our fertility specialists. We will give you all the information you need to move forward with your fertility journey.
