Infertility

When you have been trying to get pregnant for a year or longer and have been unsuccessful, you may need to call a Lifeline Medical Associates provider for infertility services. If you are over 35, you will want to reach out after six months of trying to conceive without success.

Infertility can be the result of the female’s health issues, age, stress levels, excessive alcohol or tobacco use, or similar medical difficulties on the male’s part.

When To Consult With an Infertility Specialist

You should also consult with an infertility specialist if you have experienced miscarriages or stillbirths. Although having a miscarriage does not necessarily cause infertility, the two could be connected in some situations. It’s best to consult a professional healthcare provider to determine the cause, especially if you’ve had more than one miscarriage.

Visiting an infertility specialist will help you understand more about the factors that could affect your ability to get pregnant. The physician will collect a medical and sexual history from you and your partner and then will do an evaluation that may include a health analysis of both partners’ reproductive systems.

The provider will determine how to treat the infertility based on:

  • The female’s age.
  • How long you have been trying to get pregnant.
  • Health factors that might be contributing to the infertility.
  • Your treatment preference, which will be determined after an in-depth discussion and review of the risks and benefits involved.

Treatment options can include surgery, medications, intrauterine insemination, or assisted reproductive technology. 

Find A Provider

If you are concerned about an infertility issue, start by making an appointment with your gynecologist. You may then be referred to a reproductive endocrinologist for further tests.

Qualified gynecology and infertility specialists, working together with other professional Lifeline Medical Associates healthcare providers, are here to help you and your partner.

Overall patient rating for Lifeline Medical Associates:

Hysteroscopy

Dr. Sarma is always very comforting and reassuring, especially when procedures can be both uncomfortable and uneasy. She explains everything she’s doing as she does it. She has such a calmness about her that instantly puts me at ease when I’m so nervous.

Review for Bani Sarma, MD, FACOG

Virtual Visit / Telemedicine

The Lab had found a small mass on my right breast and Amy was unaware that I was even offered a sonogram of the breast. That was disheartening. She was more intent on getting me to take fosamax for my bones, which I can never take because my stomach is so sensitive due to Rheumatoid Arthritis with a Psoariatic component. I had originally related all this in my Doctor's Profile for me. I even told her my arthritis doctor's (Rheimatologist) name.

Review for Kathryn Jones, MD

IUD Insertion / Removal

Dr. Steer is always extremely thorough, caring, and knowledgable. He delivered my second child as well, as as someone who had a traumatic birth experience with her first, I can say he made delivering my second the experience every birthing person should have and deserves. With the way women's heath care is today, it's extremely reassuring to have a doctor who listens and understands your whole picture as a patient.

The provider signed in pretty close to the scheduled time, and she was thorough in her questions to me. She also allowed me time to ask questions and address any concerns that I might have.

Review for Frances Brady, MSN, RNC-OB, APN

Annual Well Woman Exam

This was the first time I was meeting Grace. From the moment she walked in until the moment my visit was over, Grace was extremely thorough, compassionate and caring. She made sure to get a full history and understanding of my issue, and even asked questions that prompted me to think about some other issues I have been having, but has never been resolved during past visits. I highly highly recommend Grace and will be switching to her service moving forward.

Review for Lisa DeFalco, DO

Annual Well Woman Exam

The staff was friendly and I did not have to wait very long. Emily has amazing bedside manner. She listened to me. I am a plus size woman and she didn’t automatically assume that some issues I was having were related to my weight. She was kind, professional, and thorough.
