In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): STOP IMMEDIATELY! Evaluate The Y Factor First!

By - Benancio Martinez, MS, APRN, FNP-C

If you are thinking about IVF or already in the process, stop immediately and read this first!

According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) (2015):

  • 50% of the time, The Y Factor (a.k.a. the male factor) is responsible for infertility
  • Abnormal male reproductive history or abnormal semen results should be thoroughly evaluated by a Urologist, or Reproductive Urologist who specializes in male fertility
  • Thorough evaluation by a Urologist, or Reproductive Urologist who specializes in male fertility, should include:
  1. Physical exam of the testicles
  2. Presence of vas deferens or spermatic cords
  3. Presence or absence of varicoceles
  4. Hormone evaluation (treatment if necessary)
  5. Sperm DNA
  • Male infertility factor may be present in both normal and abnormal semen analysis
  • Semen analysis is not enough. Sperm DNA damage is more common in infertile men and may contribute to poor reproductive performance and recurrent miscarriage

IVF is a method of assisted reproduction that is extremely expensive, costing anywhere between $10,000 to $20,0000 out of pocket. You’re starting your life together and planning your family and financial future.
