General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Although PCOS often affects or disrupts a woman's menstrual cycle, the reality is that PCOS is highly treatable and most women who seek care should be able to get pregnant through lifestyle changes, modest weight loss, basic infertility treatments and medication.
Nutritional Counseling
All PCOS patients at Boston IVF are strongly advised to meet with Hillary Wright, MEd, RD, LDN - the Director of Nutritional Counseling at Boston IVF and author of
Primary Care
Many insurance companies require you to get an insurance referral or authorization from your primary care doctor for visits with any other doctor. Some insurers will not pay for visits unless the referral paperwork is in place at the time of your visit.
Male Infertility
The reality is that just about half of all infertility cases stem from male-factor infertility. This statistic is undeniable, and for this reason we know that male infertility testing is crucial in order to be sure every couple's treatment is as effective as possible upon the start of care.
Emergency Care
Cetrotide and Ganirelix can be irritating and you may see redness at injection site; this is common and does not represent a true allergic reaction. Using ice at the injection site can help with discomfort and redness. It should go away within 24 hours. If you develop breathing changes or other serious signs/symptoms of a severe allergic reaction (very rare), call 911/go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

Female Infertility
The failure to ovulate. This is the most common cause of female infertility. There are many different causes for the failure to ovulate, including problems with the central nervous system or pituitary gland, and abnormalities within the follicles or ovaries.
Obstetrics

Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common, treatable disease that affects over six million women in the US and Canada and is known to be present in thirty percent of women with infertility. If detected and treated in a timely manner, endometriosis does not have to affect your fertility success.
Pregnancy
Also called a tubal pregnancy, this is a condition in which the embryo implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube, although it can also occur in the ovary or abdominal cavity. If such a pregnancy is allowed to continue, it may eventually rupture the fallopian tube and cause life-threatening hemorrhage. Such a pregnancy can never be sustained and often leads to decreased or complete loss of function in the affected tube.
Labor and Delivery
Because many miscarriages are due to these chromosomal abnormalities, one mode of treatment involves preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A). This test allows for genetic analysis of embryos prior to implantation via IVF. Genetic testing increases the odds of a healthy pregnancy and childbirth and dramatically reduces the chance for miscarriage by allowing embryologists to implant only healthy, chromosomally normal embryos.

Depression
Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Endocrinology
An obstetrician-gynecologist who has completed additional training in reproductive endocrinology. Reproductive endocrinologists are qualified to manage imbalances in the complex hormonal reproductive system, including infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss.
Thyroid
Chances of miscarriage increase when hormones are out of balance, specifically those associated with thyroid disease and pituitary problems.

Ultrasound
Traditional ultrasound tests allow your doctor to assess the health of your ovaries, uterus, and follicles. Transvaginal ultrasound can look for tiny follicles (called antral follicles) in the ovaries. The total antral follicle count should be around 10 to confirm a normal ovarian egg supply. The ultrasound can also supply information about the lining of the uterus (the endometrium), which is typically 8mm or more around ovulation and has a certain ultrasound pattern.
Radiology
Dr. Samuel Pauli of Boston IVF, the majority of patient care is provided conveniently in Worcester - including education, office visits, lab and radiology work-ups, medication management and intrauterine insemination. Egg retrieval and embryo transfers for in vitro fertilization are provided at Boston IVF’s fertility center in Waltham, Massachusetts.
X-Rays
Chemotherapy
Women with cancer whose ovaries face the possibility of damage through chemotherapy or radiation therapy are excellent candidates for our Fast Track program. The program works just as its name implies: as soon as your next menstrual cycle begins, we can start the two-week egg freezing process at a significant fee reduction.
Radiation Therapy

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Brian Clark, New England Reproductive Medicine and Surgery is a premier practice specializing women’s reproductive healthcare. Specializing in complex gynecologic issue, ultrasound, infertility or minimally invasive surgery, NERMAS offers outstanding, personalize care to patients of Western Massachusetts.
Vasectomy
Hysterectomy
A surgical procedure involving the removal of the uterus, and which usually removes the cervix but not necessarily the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Laparoscopy
Performed at Boston IVF - The Waltham Center, Laparoscopy is minimally invasive surgical procedure that requires general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

Cyst
Lesions
While severe pain can be an indication that endometrial growths are present, one of the most accurate methods of detection is through diagnostic laparoscopy, a minor surgical procedure performed at our Surgery Center in Waltham. In this way, any endometriosis lesions can be easily identified and the endometriosis diagnosis confirmed.
