🔬 Understanding Ovarian Reserve: What AMH Testing Can Tell You
Thinking about your fertility future? One of the most valuable tests you can take is AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) testing—a simple blood test that provides important insight into your ovarian reserve.
What is ovarian reserve?
It refers to the quantity and quality of eggs remaining in your ovaries. Unlike men, who produce s***m continuously, women are born with all the eggs they'll ever have. Understanding your ovarian reserve helps you make informed decisions about family planning.
What does AMH testing measure?
AMH is a hormone produced by follicles in your ovaries. The test measures these hormone levels to estimate how many eggs you have remaining. Higher levels generally indicate a larger egg supply, while lower levels may suggest diminished ovarian reserve.
Why is this important?
Whether you're considering egg freezing, planning for IVF, dealing with infertility, or simply want to understand your reproductive health, AMH testing provides crucial information to guide your decisions.
At Laurel Fertility Care, we offer comprehensive fertility testing and diagnosis. Our team takes the time to explain your results in clear, understandable terms and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.

💚 Secondary Infertility: When Baby #2 Won't Come
If you've been struggling to conceive after already having a child, you're experiencing what's called secondary infertility—and you are far from alone. An estimated 3 million women in the U.S. face this challenge.
Secondary infertility can be especially isolating. Many people assume that because you already have a child, the struggle isn't as real or as painful. But we know differently.
At Laurel Fertility Care, we understand the unique emotional and physical challenges of secondary infertility. Our compassionate team takes the time to thoroughly evaluate your individual circumstances and create a customized treatment plan that gives you the best chance of growing your family.
From fertility testing and diagnosis to IVF, IUI, and advanced reproductive technologies, we're here to walk beside you every step of the way.
📞 Ready to explore your options? Call us at (415) 673-9199 or visit laurelfertility.com to schedule your personalized consultation.
You don't have to do this alone. We're here, and we believe in your dream. 🌿

💫 Understanding PGT: Your Guide to Genetic Testing in Fertility 💫
Considering IVF and wondering about genetic testing? Let's talk about Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT).
PGT is a screening tool used during IVF that examines embryos for genetic abnormalities before they're transferred to the uterus. This advanced technology helps identify the healthiest embryos and can significantly improve your chances of a successful pregnancy.
What PGT Can Do For You:
✨ Identify chromosomally healthy embryos with higher implantation rates
✨ Screen for specific inherited genetic conditions
✨ Reduce the risk of miscarriage
✨ Improve overall IVF success rates
✨ Provide peace of mind during your fertility journey
Who Should Consider PGT?
PGT may be particularly beneficial if you:

Are over 35 years old
Have experienced recurrent miscarriages
Have had repeated IVF cycles without success
Are a carrier of a genetic disorder
Have a family history of chromosomal issues

At Laurel Fertility Care, we understand that every fertility journey is unique. Our compassionate team is dedicated to providing personalized care and helping you make informed decisions about treatments like PGT. We're here to answer your questions and support you every step of the way.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with breast cancer, fertility preservation might not be the first thing on your mind—but it's an important conversation to have early in your treatment planning.

Why? Because certain cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal therapies) can impact fertility—sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently.

The Good News: Oncofertility options exist to help preserve your ability to have biological children in the future.

What is Oncofertility?
Oncofertility bridges cancer care and reproductive medicine, offering fertility preservation options for people facing cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Options we offer at Laurel Fertility Care:
🌸 Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation)
🌸 Embryo freezing (for those with partners or using donor s***m)
🌸 Ovarian tissue preservation
🌸 Rapid-start protocols for time-sensitive situations
Important timeline information:
Fertility preservation typically takes 10-14 days and can often be completed before cancer treatment begins. We work closely with your oncology team to coordinate timing.
Who should consider oncofertility?

Anyone of reproductive age facing cancer diagnosis
Those receiving chemotherapy or radiation near reproductive organs
Patients beginning hormonal therapies
Anyone who wants to keep future family-building options open

At Laurel Fertility Care, we provide:
✅ Expedited consultations for cancer patients
✅ Coordination with your oncology team
✅ Compassionate, time-sensitive care
✅ Financial counseling and support resources
✅ Long-term embryo/egg storage
Your cancer journey is challenging enough. Let us handle the fertility preservation details so you can focus on your health.

As PCOS Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to take a moment to shine a light on this commonly misunderstood condition that affects millions of people trying to conceive.
What You Need to Know About PCOS:
✨ 1 in 10 people with ovaries have PCOS – That's approximately 5 million people in the United States alone, yet many remain undiagnosed for years.
✨ PCOS is a leading cause of infertility—but it's treatable – While PCOS accounts for roughly 70% of infertility cases related to ovulation issues, the right treatment plan can dramatically improve your chances of conception.
✨ Symptoms vary widely – Irregular or absent periods, excess hair growth (hirsutism), stubborn weight gain, acne, thinning hair, and insulin resistance are common signs. You don't need to have all of these symptoms to have PCOS.
✨ Early diagnosis changes everything – The sooner PCOS is identified, the sooner we can implement strategies to manage symptoms, protect your long-term health, and optimize your fertility.
How Laurel Supports Your PCOS Journey:
At Laurel Fertility, we understand that PCOS affects more than just your ability to conceive—it impacts your overall wellbeing. That's why our approach is comprehensive and personalized.Whether you've just been diagnosed, have been managing PCOS for years, or suspect you might have it, we're here to provide the expert care and support you deserve. Your fertility journey is unique, and so is our approach to helping you achieve your family-building goals. 💚
