Semen Cryopreservation (11/11/2008)
Semen Cryopreservation
Sperm cryopreservation and banking has become a widely accepted part of our culture. Once looked upon with uncertainty, this practice has proven time and time again to be a successful method of keeping the hope of a family alive for many men. The reasons for storage are as varied as men themselves. Sports figures and those in high-risk occupations protect their future against the chance that an injury could affect their reproductivity. Vasectomy patients often store sperm prior to their procedure in case they may one day choose to father another child. Patients under going cancer treatments are urged to store sperm prior to these procedures since radiation, chemotherapy or surgery may render them sterile. The reasons go on and on, but one thing is clear; more and more men are choosing to protect their future from the loss of fertility - and semen cryopreservation offers a proven measure of protection.
As early as the 1940\'s cattlebreeders and veterinarians had pretty much refined the process of cryopreserving bull semen and artificially inseminating heifers. It was obvious then, that the technology they were working with would be of great benefit to mankind. However it wasn\'t until the 1950\'s that the methods for cryopreserving human semen and artificial insemination were refined, resulting in the first human birth. Since then, careful ongoing research has aided in the development of more sophisticated procedures and techniques for the freezing and storing of human semen.
So far, no limit has been established for how long human semen can be frozen when maintained and stored in appropriate liquid nitrogen storage. Scientific literature shows conclusively that sperm motility, viability and morphology are not affected by proper long term cryopreservation.

Ovulation Induction & Monitoring (11/10/2008)
Ovulation Induction & Monitoring
One of the major causes of female infertility is either complete absence of or abnormal ovulation. Successful production of oocytes is influenced by numerous hormones with very delicate balances that create the woman\'s normal cycle. Frequently the production is off balance, resulting in poor or no ovulation. A more important step to restoring good ovulation is to attempt to reestablish a balance of hormones through fertility drugs such as clomiphene citrate (Siphene), HMG (human menopausal gonadotropin), FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), or hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). To maximize the chances for success it is necessary to measure these hormones through blood tests, as well as evaluate the growth and development of the follicles containing eggs by ultrasound assessment.
Timed Intercourse
Opportunities for conception are significantly increased by timed intercourse to ovulation. This is determined through hormonal and ultrasound monitoring. Patients with ovulatory dysfunction are treated with fertility medications.
