📍 Now seeing patients in Chicago

We’re happy to share that Dr. Asima Ahmad is now seeing patients in our Chicago office.

Reproductive and hormonal concerns can be complex—and many patients come in feeling unsure where they fit, or whether their symptoms are “enough” to seek specialized care.

Dr. Ahmad provides full-spectrum reproductive endocrinology care, including fertility evaluation and treatment, as well as hormonal and other reproductive conditions. Her approach is centered on listening, education, and helping patients clearly understand what’s going on and what options may be available.

As a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, she offers specialized care that goes beyond routine gynecologic visits, with a focus on thoughtful evaluation and individualized planning.

Whether you’re seeking answers, exploring options, or simply looking for expert guidance, our Chicago team is here to support you.

There’s been a lot of buzz about new IVF initiatives — but what do they actually mean for your coverage?

The truth: Illinois already leads the nation in fertility coverage, and new state updates in 2026 will expand those protections even further.

Our latest blog breaks down what’s changing federally, what’s guaranteed here in Illinois, and how to make the most of your benefits.

Infertility isn’t rare. It’s human. 💜
It affects 1 in 6 people — friends, coworkers, neighbors, maybe even you.

Behind every statistic is a story of waiting, resilience, and love that never gives up.

At RMI, we believe in providing fertility care that is compassionate, evidence-based, and inclusive for everyone — singles, couples, and LGBTQ+ families alike.

✨ Because every family deserves a chance to grow.

Wondering when it’s time to see a fertility specialist? At RMI, we make the initial fertility evaluation simple and affordable with our Fertility Assessment—a low-cost option to help you take the next step in your journey.

What’s Included?

For Women:
- Pelvic ultrasound to assess the uterus and ovaries, identifying fibroids, polyps, or other structural abnormalities.
- Antral follicle count (AFC) to evaluate ovarian reserve and egg supply.
- Hormone testing (FSH & estradiol) during the follicular phase to assess ovarian function.

For Men:
- Comprehensive semen analysis measuring s***m count, motility, volume, and strict morphology.
- Expert interpretation of results to determine if a fertility specialist referral is recommended.
The out-of-pocket cost is $99. If you schedule a consultation with an RMI physician, this fee will be credited to your account and can be applied toward future deductibles.

Ready to take the first step? Contact us to schedule your Fertility Assessment today!

Thinking about testosterone? Here’s what you should know first.

It may sound surprising, but testosterone therapy or anabolic steroid use can actually shut down s***m production.

👉 Here’s why:

When you add outside testosterone, your brain senses you already have “enough.”

That shuts down FSH + LH, the hormones that tell your te**es to make s***m.

The result? S***m production drops — sometimes short-term, sometimes lasting much longer.

⚠️ Long-term use can even cause testicular shrinkage and infertility risk.

If fatherhood is in your future, testosterone is not the answer. The good news? There are safe, proven ways to support male fertility — from lifestyle changes to evidence-based medical care.

💜 Because male fertility matters too.

💜 Every patient’s journey is unique — and every story matters.
This family’s words capture exactly what we strive for at RMI: care that feels personal, compassionate, and stress free.

We’re so grateful for the trust our patients place in us. Full review below ⬇️

"From day one, Reproductive Medicine Institute has made our journey feel supported, hopeful, and stress free. After experiencing a disappointing and disorganized process at another clinic, I can confidently say this team is in a league of their own.
Dr. T, Natalia, Stacy, the ultrasound technicians, and the front desk representatives have all been absolutely amazing. Every single person we interacted with showed care, professionalism, and warmth. Communication has been consistent, clear, and timely, something that made a huge difference for us throughout our journey.
What truly stood out was how intentional and thoughtful the entire process was. At one point, I wanted to rush ahead just to move things along, but Dr. T and the team never let us feel like just another case. They took their time, reviewed everything thoroughly, and made decisions based on our results, not profit.
We are beyond grateful to share that we are now pregnant on our first round of IVF! This success wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support and expertise of the RMI team.
Reproductive Medicine Institute is more than a clinic, it’s a place filled with hope, compassion, and people who truly want the best for you. Thank you for walking with us since day one. We are forever grateful. ❤️"
