Believe in your dream of becoming a parent. We do.
At MU Health Care, we support your dream to grow your family and are here to support you every step of the way. We work closely with your primary physician in providing seamless care.
Currently, our Reproductive Health and Fertility Center is not accepting new patients. Our OB/GYN experts welcome fertility conversations and can refer you to a specialist if necessary.
When to Talk to About Infertility Treatment With Your Doctor
We are happy to see patients at any stage of their journey. As a rule of thumb, we define infertility as the inability to conceive after one year of frequent unprotected intercourse. For women older than 35 years of age, we encourage evaluation after six months of trying, and for women who are 40 years of age or older, we recommend scheduling an infertility evaluation at your earliest convenience.
About Our Reproductive Laboratory
Our state-of-the-art reproductive laboratory allows us to offer preservation and other fertility services to help you build your family.
Led by Jaime Hogerty, PhD, our lab team works in collaboration with your physician and is responsible for growing embryos for IVF patients, performing preimplantation testing, preserving eggs and sperm and much more. If your fertility treatment involves our embryology lab and Hogerty’s expertise, she will attend your appointments to serve as another source of knowledge and support.
