NCRM recently participated in an IVF clinical trial comparing a progesterone vaginal ring to vaginally administered progesterone gel. Patients participating in this study were compensated for their time and efforts.  The success rates in both groups were outstanding.

NCRM is participating in a clinical genetic study. Patients who participate in this study will receive free genetic screening of all 23 sets of chromosomes on their biopsied embryos as well as genetic screening for the gene they are carriers for, during an in-vitro fertilization cycle.

NCRM is participating in an egg freezing study. Eggs will be cryopreserved by a method called vitrification. Vitrification offers high survival rates and there is much promising data regarding oocyte and embryo vitrification results.

NCRM holds a Biannual Baby Reunion every other fall. Over 200 people gather to celebrate the children who were conceived with the aid of in-vitro fertilization at the Nevada Center for Reproductive Medicine. The children enjoy the duck pond, the jump house, and face-painting. Parents enjoy the food, great weather, and good company. Thank you to all that attend the baby reunion. It was wonderful seeing all of the children!

Dr. Foulk, Dr. Whitten and other team members attended the 65th Annual American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. The scientific program included information on egg freezing, cryopreservation techniques, elective single embryo transfer, genetic testing, male reproductive health, gamete selection criteria, reproductive surgery, and much more. It was a very informative meeting.
