Understand Your Fertility Options

You’ve decided you want to start a family. However, the truth is, even if all of the emotional and physical conditions seem perfect, conceiving can sometimes be challenging. The best thing that you can do is to become better educated about fertility issues and understand all of your options for achieving successful parenthood. As you learn more, Southern California Reproductive Center can help you make the best decision based on your personal situation.

Here’s what you need to do:

• We know that fertility issues can sometimes be overwhelming at first. Investigating and learning about your options here can provide the best direction to answering your questions. Getting the right information can help determine your next steps.
• If you have already seen your primary physician or ob-gyn and received a referral to SCRC, then take a look at the “Have You Been Referred To Us?” section. You will need an initial evaluation so we can best determine next steps.
• Even if you are not ready to have a child right now, there are still some fertility-based decisions you may need to make. If, for whatever reason, you are thinking about egg or sperm preservation, click on “Are You Considering Egg Freezing?” to find out more about cryopreservation.
• Finally, if you’re a returning SCRC patient, you may already be aware of our process. We’ll need you to download and fill out our patient forms (just to make sure everything is current) and then call your fertility specialist to set up an appointment to be seen.
