Reproductive Medicine

This section discusses all of the various reproductive medicine treatments available to our Seattle area patients. Select from the menu to learn more about all of the treatments and technologies available at Overlake Reproductive Health.

The section includes:

• Intrauterine Inseminations (IUI), also called artificial insemination, this is an in-office procedure where your partner’s sperm is prepared and injected directly into your uterus. Donor sperm IUIs are also available.
• Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) which includes intra uterine inseminations (IUIs), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
• Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) the technique used with an IVF cycle to check the chromosomal status of the embryos, test for specific genetic conditions or determine their gender before the embryos are implanted back into the uterus.
• Egg Freezing is now a useful option to preserve your fertility. This can be of enormous use to women about to undergo cancer treatments, those suffering from menopause, or those just looking to delay childbearing in order to pursue other goals.
• Donor Embryo Program a win-win option that can benefit both couples with extra embryos that are no longer looking to conceive, and couples looking to reduce their costs.
• Donor Egg Programs information for both couples looking to use donor eggs, and individuals looking to donate their eggs.
• Microsort Clinical Trial is the procedure used to sort sperm to increase the chance of giving birth to a couple’s desired sex. This procedure is still under FDA review, and at this time is only being offered to help decrease the risk of passing on sex-linked genetic disorders.
