Fertility Partnership is pleased to announce that Platelet-Rich Plasma-PRP Ovarian Rejuvenation will be available beginning in February 2022. Following a study of the literature, they believe there is sufficient evidence to support the use of this method. There is a demonstrable benefit for patients who have a poor response to IVF drugs, producing few eggs. Patients who have reached full menopause have not responded well, if at all. We will be willing to offer this treatment to women who have experienced a total cessation of menstrual cycles in the last 6 months.
The assumption is that injecting your own “autologous” cells, which are similar to stem cells, straight into your ovaries can “stir up” egg production. The PRP material has been employed in a variety of various circumstances to stimulate growth in Orthopedic and Neurological diseases. They’ve progressed to ovaries and reproductive medicine.
The technique has proven to be safe, with few, if any, post-operation complications.
In the spirit and tradition of Fertility Partnership, they charge $1500 for the procedure. Please contact the office and ask for Erica Voegtlin, who will be in charge of arranging these procedures. Because patients will not want to be awake for this, the pricing will include anesthetic and light sedation. This is a safe treatment that has given many people hope.
