When pregnancy loss happens repeatedly, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. But there are additional options to explore. 💙
In this video, Dr. Collin Smikle, Medical Director at Laurel Fertility Care, explains intrauterine PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, an innovative approach that may help improve uterine receptivity for patients experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss.
PRP therapy uses your body's own healing properties to potentially enhance the uterine environment and support successful implantation. This treatment represents one of the many advanced options we offer to help you on your path to parenthood.
If you've experienced multiple pregnancy losses, know that you don't have to navigate this alone. Our team is here to explore every available option with you.

At Laurel Fertility Care, we're here to help you understand the full range of possibilities and guide you toward the options that align with your needs. Every journey is unique—and we honor that.
Here are some of the family-building options we offer:
✨ Reciprocal IVF: One partner provides the eggs, the other carries the pregnancy—allowing both partners to be physically involved.
✨ S***m or egg donation: We work with trusted donor banks and help you choose a donor that aligns with your family-building goals.
✨ Gestational carrier (surrogacy): For individuals or couples who need support carrying a pregnancy, we'll walk you through the legal, medical, and emotional aspects of surrogacy.
✨ IUI or IVF: Depending on your fertility needs, we offer intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) using donor s***m or donor eggs.
✨ Fertility preservation: We offer egg and s***m freezing for individuals undergoing gender-affirming care, medical treatment, or simply wanting to preserve your options for the future.

🌱 Your food might be affecting your fertility (and what you can do about it)
New research is shedding light on an unexpected contributor to male fertility challenges: the pesticides on everyday foods.
A comprehensive 10-year review by George Mason University examined 21 studies and found consistent links between neonicotinoid pesticides (the most widely used insecticides worldwide) and reduced s***m quality.
Here's what makes this concerning: Neonicotinoids are systemic pesticides, meaning they're absorbed throughout the entire plant and can't simply be washed away.
While this research was conducted on animals and more human studies are needed, it's a reminder that environmental factors play a significant role in reproductive health.

The good news? You can take steps to reduce exposure:
✓ Choose organic when possible (especially for high-residue produce)
✓ Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly
✓ Minimize pesticide use at home
✓ Focus on overall health: antioxidants, exercise, and stress management

Learn more here: https://laurelfertility.com/common-pesticides-male-fertility-what-new-research-reveals/

Male factor infertility accounts for 40-50% of all cases, making it essential to look at the whole picture when trying to conceive. If you've been trying for 6 months (over 35) or 12 months (under 35), it's time for a comprehensive fertility evaluation.

Navigating insurance coverage for fertility treatment can feel overwhelming. What's covered? What's not? Do you need pre-authorization? We get it, and we're here to help.

Here's what our financial coordinators do for you:
✨ Review your insurance coverage and clearly explain what's included
✨ Help gather and submit all necessary documents for pre-authorization
✨ Coordinate directly with your insurance provider to minimize delays
✨ Offer additional payment options if your plan doesn't cover certain services

What you should know:
Coverage varies based on your insurance provider, employer plan, and state. Some plans cover diagnostic testing only, while others may include medications, IUI, IVF, or even egg freezing. Coverage often depends on medical necessity, age, and diagnosis, and many plans require pre-approval before starting treatment.

We work with major insurance providers including:
Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, United Healthcare, Progyny, Carrot, WINFertility, Health Net, and many more.

Our goal is simple: take the guesswork out of what's covered so you can focus on what matters most.

Kimberly's story is one that needs to be told.

For 9 long years, she walked the difficult path of infertility. She faced losses that broke her heart. She endured treatments, disappointments, and moments when giving up seemed easier than going on.

But Kimberly held onto hope and found compassionate support at Laurel Fertility Care.
And then came Junior, her rainbow baby, her answered prayer, her miracle. Today, he's a healthy, happy 9-year-old boy who was worth every tear, every struggle, every moment of waiting.

If you're in the middle of your fertility journey right now, know this: You are not alone. Your pain is valid. Your hope matters. And your miracle may be closer than you think.
At Laurel Fertility Care, we see you. We believe in your dream. And we're here to walk with you every step of the way with expertise, compassion, and unwavering support. 💙

The holidays can be tough when you're going through fertility treatment. The "when are you having kids?" questions and unexpected pregnancy announcements can feel overwhelming.
Here's the truth: You don't owe anyone an explanation, and it's okay to protect your peace.
Tips for navigating gatherings:
✨ Prepare 2-3 go-to responses in advance like "We're not discussing that right now"
✨ Decide with your partner on a signal for when you need support
✨ Set a time limit and stick to it
✨ Use the redirect: answer briefly, then ask them a question
✨ Take breaks when you need them
✨ "I'd rather not talk about that" is a complete sentence

Sample phrases:
"We'll share news when we're ready"
"That topic is off-limits for me right now"
"Let's talk about something else"

You're not alone in this journey. 💚

The best kind of reunion! ❤️
One of our Laurel Fertility families recently stopped by our Modesto office, and we're still smiling! The first photo shows their graduation day in March 2025... that bittersweet moment when we watched their little one on the ultrasound screen one last time before sending them off to their OB. The second photo is from last week... they're back with their beautiful October baby!
These are the moments that remind us why we love what we do. From treatment to those precious ultrasound images to graduation, and finally meeting the tiny miracles we helped create—every step of the journey is an honor.
To this amazing family: thank you for trusting us with your dreams and for sharing your joy with our team. We're so grateful to have been part of your path to parenthood! 💙
Is it your turn? We're here to help.
