What does infertility mean?

In general, infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant (conceive) after one year or longer of unprotected sex. 

At Higher Ground Women’s Health, Dr. Lisa understands the frustrations of infertility. She provides the personalized attention you need throughout your journey to parenthood. 

What causes infertility?

About one-third of infertility originates in women. Another one-third starts with men, and the remaining one-third happens due to unknown factors or a combination of female and male issues. 

Some of the women’s health issues that may cause infertility are:

• Endometriosis
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Uterine fibroids
• Menstrual cycle issues
• Failure to ovulate
• Structural reproductive system problems
• Primary ovarian insufficiency
• Implantation failure
• Autoimmune disorders

There are many other possible reasons for infertility as well. 

When should I seek help for infertility?

If you’ve tried to conceive for at least a year (under 35) or six months (over 35) without success, scheduling a discovery call should be the next step. 

With her intimate understanding of allopathic and osteopathic medicine, Dr. Lisa understands infertility and its challenges. You can have unprecedented access to personalized infertility care through the direct membership model. Non-membership care is also available (pay by service). 

How does infertility care work?

When you’re dealing with infertility, you can feel incredibly vulnerable. It’s important to have a comfortable environment where you can freely communicate at any time with a trusted provider who understands your unique needs. Most OB/GYN practices don’t offer that level of care, but you deserve more. 

Many women seeking infertility support enroll in the direct care program for extra personal care. You’ll build a trust-based relationship with Dr. Lisa through the direct care model. Your monthly fee includes routine care like annual women’s wellness exams and Pap smears, wholesale pricing on lab tests and medications, and a 40% discount on in-office procedures. 

Direct care gives you access to Dr. Lisa’s direct phone line, email access, telehealth appointments, and same-day or next-day appointments. 

Dr. Lisa is here to support you on your journey to parenthood, whatever it looks like. She honors your physical and emotional needs and is here to help you achieve your dreams of welcoming a baby into your family.
