Here’s how the fertility network describes fertility doctors.
“Most infertility specialists are called reproductive endocrinologists. Reproductive endocrinologists typically have 2-3 years of formal training beyond that of an Ob/Gyn. Most often they work at clinics where in vitro fertilization is a common treatment regimen. We have an extensive list of ivf clinics on our site. IVF is a procedure that often uses infertility drugs to stimulate the production of multiple eggs that are fertilized outside the body and implanted in the uterus.�
Here’s what they have to say about fertility drugs.
“Fertility drugs are an important ingredient of successful therapy. We provide links to several pharmacies that specialize in fertility drugs. Infertility drugs can be expensive and the treatment has many details to consider. Specialized pharmacies provide an understanding and a service that cannot be matched at your everyday pharmacy. We have a regional list andd a mail order list of pharmacies that specialize in infertility drugs.�
6. Newsweekshowcase.com presents fertility, infertility clinics and reproductive clinics.
Here is how it presents the information to help you make up your mind.
“More than 6.1 million people nationwide experience infertility, the inability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to delivery after one year of well-timed intercourse. While the disease is often thought of as a female problem, the fact is that “approximately about one-third of infertility cases can be attributed to male factors, and about one-third to factors that affect women. For the remaining one-third of infertile couples, infertility is caused by a combination of problems in both partners or, in about 20 percent of cases, is unexplained,� according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).�
Furthermore, the author of this site recognizes the type of problem infertility can bring to a relationship. “Infertility is a hidden life crisis; there are no visible wounds. Individuals and couples unable to have children experience grief and loss as each treatment fails. Infertility has a ripple effect; it may impact self-esteem, relationships with family and friends, a couple’s intimacy and may put life plans on hold. The hope that “next month will be the month that I will get pregnant� can continue for months or years. Seeking good care from a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist can move treatment forward.� You can find more information on the site.

10. Dr. Minh N. Ho was once a Vietnamese boatperson. He is now a well-known fertility specialist. Dr. Ho grew up in Vietnam during the war. He witnessed the arrival of the North Vietnamese in the city of Hue. He is a survivor who witnessed many deaths. South Vietnam fell to the North Vietnamese at the end of the war. Just like many of his compatriots, he escaped on a fishing boat to Malaysia. Dr. Ho knows what it is like to suffer. He has understood the plight of those who are suffering in their own bodies. That’s what he has been doing helping men and women achieve their dreams of being parents. He has presided over the birth of thousands of babies.
Here is what you can read about him and his Xpert Fertility Care of California.

How do you want to refer to it? Fertility and the freezer? Ice, Ice Baby? The big Chill? The biological clock on ice? Frozen assets? Putting your eggs in a different basket? Sperm bank babies?
Is it worth it? That’s the question you may be asking. Let women answer it. $12,000 for the procedure. What does the American Association of Reproductive Medicine say about it? It does not think it’s a good idea. It recommends it for women who suffer with cancer and other medical complications.
Here’s what Extend Fertility specialists are saying about this new breakthrough.
“Egg freezing has long been the holy grail of the fertility world. Although sperm and embryos (fertilized eggs) have been successfully frozen for the purposes of fertility preservation for decades, the freezing of unfertilized eggs (oocytes) has only recently been successful. In the past, difficulty with egg freezing was due to an egg’s tendency to develop ice crystals during the freezing process (which compromise the integrity of the egg), as well as hardening of the egg’s outer membrane, making fertilization difficult. Two recent breakthroughs have allowed scientists to overcome these problems.
The first is the development of a new culture media system that protects the egg from damage during the freezing/thawing process. The media system dehydrates the egg during freezing and rehydrates the egg during thawing, thereby minimizing the formation of ice crystals. The second breakthrough is a fertilization technique known as ICSI (Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection). With ICSI, the embryologist injects the egg with a single sperm in order to fertilize it.
While egg freezing is still considered investigational by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, by applying these new advances in cryopreservation, our scientists have realized a sharp increase in post-thaw survival rates (as high as 90%)1 and fertilization rates (as high as 80%)2. These improvements have led to pregnancy success rates from frozen eggs of up to 35% per embryo transfer,3 and have facilitated a dramatic increase in the number of babies born from frozen eggs to over 200 worldwide.4 Extend Fertility is the only company to offer egg freezing nation-wide. All Extend Fertility partner centers are carefully trained and monitored by recognized experts in the field of egg freezing, including Dr. Raffaella Fabbri of Bologna, Italy who is responsible for the largest number of frozen egg babies born worldwide (70 babies to date). Over 100 women have chosen to freeze their eggs at an Extend Fertility partner center.
Extend Fertility is committed to advancing the science of egg freezing. Working together to maximize success, Extend Fertility’s partner centers have made several proprietary improvements to the existing published protocols, often yielding better results than appear in the current literature. Our centers are also currently involved in an ongoing research study to improve the published data and significantly increase the number of babies born from previously frozen eggs” (Extendfertility.com).
