Fertility with Known Health Issues
Fertility with Known Health Issues
Sometimes the road to fertility includes overcoming obstacles.
Some conditions can make it hard to have children. Sometimes it’s not the condition, but the treatments that can affect fertility. Learn about ways to preserve fertility before treatment, and fertility options available after treatment is complete.
Fertility with known health issues can be difficult, whether it’s the condition itself or the medications or treatments involved in overcoming the issue.
Cancer and infertility unfortunately go hand in hand. Both medications and treatment severely hinder a person’s reproductive system. The sooner you speak with a fertility specialist about freezing your sperm or eggs, the better.
Trying to conceive when you and/or your partner carry known genetic disorders can be scary. But, it doesn’t have to be. We can now use Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to ensure your children do not present with a genetic disorder. Age is the number one obstacle we see keeping patients from becoming pregnant on their own. If you are over 30 and are struggling to get pregnant, you should schedule a consultation as soon as possible.

Infertility Cases
About 40% of all infertility cases are due to male factors such as poor sperm quality, quantity, or morphology. A simple, quick and inexpensive semen analysis will identify or rule out male factor infertility.
Research shows that women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) below 19 or above 25 are at risk for hormonal imbalances that interfere with ovulation and normal menstrual periods, among other things.
Alysha’s Success Story
Alysha’s Success Story
“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”
When I found out I had cancer, I was devastated to say the least. At 24, I wasn’t even remotely considering starting a family. But, my parents insisted I see a fertility specialist to talk about freezing my eggs for when all this was over. I am so glad they did. Because 3 years later I am in remission and engaged to be married to the love of my life. I’m not ready to start a family yet, but at least I know I can. Thank you Dr Morgan and Dr Meir Olcha for giving me that chance! – Alysha S.
