What are my options?
Infertility treatment can be confusing, intimidating, and sometimes clouded with misinformation. One of Open Path’s primary missions is to provide knowledge and support about all aspects of infertility.
High-Tech Fertility Treatments
High-tech fertility treatments include drug therapy, intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization, and can also include third-party reproductive techniques as well as other more advanced procedures. These treatments can be diagnostic as well as therapeutic, as doctors can tweak each cycle as they learn how their patients respond to each treatment.
Alternative Fertility Treatments
Many couples look for natural ways to boost fertility or to deal with the stress of fertility treatments. These types of alternative treatments include Acupuncture, Nutritional Support, and Yoga. It’s important that you speak with your doctor about any alternative approaches you’re pursuing to deal with your infertility.
