At Perch Fertility, we understand that the prospect of starting fertility treatments can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or exploring new options after trying to conceive, our team can help.

We provide compassionate care and personalized guidance for individuals and couples navigating their fertility journey. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of infertility treatment and achieve your dream of having a family.

Let’s look at what you need to get started with fertility treatments.

A fertility specialist is a medical doctor with specialized training in reproductive endocrinology. They are trained in treating infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and complicated endoscopic (minimally invasive) reconstructive pelvic surgery.

Choosing a fertility specialist is a deeply personal decision that can impact your overall experience with fertility treatments. At Perch Fertility, we believe that the connection with your doctor is crucial.

Therefore, it is prudent to take a moment to know what type of doctor you want for your fertility journey. Ask yourself: 

• What type of communication style resonates with you? 
• Do you prefer a doctor who provides data and lets you decide? 
• Do you want a doctor who takes the lead in recommending treatment options?

It is also a good idea to prepare questions and preferences for care for your first meeting with your fertility physician so they can understand your needs and goals well. 

At Perch Fertility, our double board-certified fertility specialist, Dr. Meir Olcha, brings experience, expertise, and empathy while helping individuals and couples navigate fertility challenges. His collaborative and empathetic approach ensures that every patient feels understood, supported, and confident in their care plan. 

At Perch Fertility, we recognize that a strong connection with your specialist can lead to a more supportive and successful fertility journey.

Your initial consultation at Perch Fertility will be an important starting point for understanding your fertility health. During your first visit, Dr. Olcha will review your medical history, discuss your reproductive goals, and evaluate any previous treatments you’ve undergone.

This meeting is a chance for us to fully understand your concerns and aspirations for family planning.

Based on your medical history and initial assessment, Dr. Olcha may recommend specific diagnostic tests to identify the underlying causes of infertility. This can include blood work, ultrasounds, and semen analysis.

We focus on gathering as much necessary information as possible to help build a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your fertility goals.

Accurate diagnosis is key to effective fertility care. At Perch Fertility, we offer comprehensive fertility tests for both partners and identify barriers to conception. 

For women, this may include: 

• Hormone level assessments
• Ovarian reserve testing
• Ultrasounds to evaluate egg supply and reproductive system

For men, a semen analysis will assess sperm count, motility, and overall health. These tests help pinpoint potential issues and guide treatment options that are best suited to your situation.

Once the diagnostic process is complete, our team will guide you through a tailored treatment plan designed to maximize your chances of conception. This can include treatment options like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), medically supported times intercourse, and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) among others.

Before you start any fertility treatment, it’s important to prepare both physically and emotionally. Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a balanced diet, quitting smoking, and managing stress, are often key recommendations from your fertility specialist.

Based on your diagnosis, your fertility specialist may also recommend additional hormone therapy or medications.

At Perch Fertility, we are committed to making your fertility treatment journey as straightforward and supportive as possible. With a dedicated team, personalized care plans, and extensive medical and emotional support, we ensure that you have the guidance you need from the moment you start.
