More than six million people in the United States are affected by infertility, that is one in every six couples. Because fertility declines with age, this number is likely to rise as more couples wait until later in life to have children.

Contrary to popular belief, with the application of assisted reproductive technology, including in vitro fertilization, nearly 90% of all infertility cases are treatable through medication and surgery. Unfortunately, a low awareness of the disease and its treatment options, along with little or no insurance benefits, leads many couples to suffer the losses of infertility rather than seek successful treatment.

Georgia Reproductive Specialists, located in Atlanta, is dedicated to providing personalized, patient-centered reproductive healthcare in an atmosphere that promotes education and awareness. Fellowship-trained reproductive endocrinologists Dr. Susan C. Conway, Dr. Carolyn Kaplan, Dr. Mark Perloe, and Dr. Desiree McCarthy-Keith are experts in female and male disorders including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, menstrual disorders and azoospermia. The medical staff at GRS, including IVF laboratory pioneer Michael Tucker, Ph.D., welcomes the opportunity to discuss infertility issues including treatment options, physical and psychological impacts, the use of technology in treatment and recent advances in the field.
