Fertility Counseling

Family planning guidance and support

About Fertility Counseling

Starting or growing your family is an exciting journey, and Garden OB/GYN is here to support you every step of the way. Our fertility counseling services help you understand your reproductive health, identify potential obstacles to conception, and develop a plan to achieve your family planning goals. Whether you're just starting to think about pregnancy or have been trying for a while, our providers offer compassionate, evidence-based guidance.

What to Expect

Your fertility consultation includes a comprehensive review of your menstrual history, medical background, and lifestyle factors. Your provider may recommend blood tests to check hormone levels, an ultrasound to evaluate your ovaries and uterus, and semen analysis for your partner. Based on the results, we'll discuss options ranging from timed intercourse and ovulation tracking to medications like Clomid, or referral to a reproductive endocrinologist for advanced treatments like IVF.

Who Is This For?

Women and couples who are planning to conceive, have been trying to conceive for 6-12 months without success, or who want to understand their fertility options before they're ready to start trying.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I seek fertility help?

If you're under 35 and have been trying for 12 months, or over 35 and trying for 6 months, it's time to schedule a consultation. You can also come in earlier if you have known risk factors.

Do you perform IVF?

Garden OB/GYN provides initial fertility evaluations and treatments. For advanced procedures like IVF, we refer to trusted reproductive endocrinologists and continue to support your care.

What causes infertility?

Common causes include ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, PCOS, male factor issues, and age-related decline. Sometimes no specific cause is identified.

Does insurance cover fertility treatment?

Coverage varies by plan. New York State mandates some fertility coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specifics.
