Infertility

What is Infertility and why it matters

Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide and can be an emotionally difficult journey. At Raveco Medical, we understand how deeply personal and complex this experience can be. Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or six months for women over 35). But behind that definition lies a host of medical, emotional, and relational factors — and we’re here to guide you through all of them.

Whether you’re just starting to ask questions or have been trying for some time, our OB/GYNs provide clear answers, proven treatments, and compassionate support. We don’t just treat infertility; we treat the whole person — with empathy, science, and experience.

Benefits of Infertility Care at Raveco

Choosing Raveco Medical for infertility support means accessing decades of OB/GYN expertise paired with a human-first approach:

  • Personalized Fertility Workups – We tailor diagnostic testing to your history and goals.
  • Both Partners Included – We understand that fertility involves more than one person. We work with both partners when appropriate.
  • On-Site Testing – Many initial diagnostics, such as ultrasounds and hormone testing, are done right in our office.
  • Minimally Invasive Options – If a condition like endometriosis or fibroids is impacting fertility, we can treat it with the least disruption possible.
  • Gentle and Supportive Guidance – We explain each option clearly and never push for unnecessary interventions.
  • Referral Network – If IVF or other advanced reproductive technologies are needed, we coordinate care with trusted local fertility specialists.

What You Can Expect

Our infertility care begins with listening. Every journey is different — so our team begins with a thorough consultation where you’ll be heard, not rushed.

Your initial visit may include a discussion of your menstrual cycle, past pregnancies, medical history, and lifestyle factors. From there, we design a custom diagnostic plan. This often includes:

  • Ovulation tracking
  • Hormone level testing
  • Ultrasounds or imaging to assess uterus and ovaries
  • Semen analysis (if applicable)
  • Evaluation of fallopian tube function or blockages

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment options may include medications to stimulate ovulation, minimally invasive surgery to correct structural issues, or referrals for IVF. You’ll have full transparency at each step.

Our providers make sure you understand your choices — and we offer emotional support throughout the process. Infertility can be isolating. At Raveco, you don’t have to walk this road alone.

Dr. Ravins and the team at Raveco Medical provided exceptional care throughout my pregnancy and labor.

Amazing experience having Dr. R as my Doctor. He did my C section. From the moment I met him before my procedure, I felt comfortable and confident. He was all about making me comfortable, listening and answering questions, along with reassuring regarding all my concerns. He has a great personality like you’ve known him forever and just that was very welcoming.

Dr Ravins is such an incredible and awesome surgeon. My C section went so smoothly that I barely had pain afterwards. I was up walking, taking care of my baby the next day. Staff members, anesthesiologists, nurses were so professional, carrying.

Patient

The care provided at Raveco Medical is definitely the treatment every pregnant woman deserves. I will never forget my first prenatal appointment with Dr. Steven Ravins, after he became aware that I was above advance maternal age his exact words were "we are going to take care of you" and that's what Dr. Ravins and Dr. Olkowski did.

Patient
Camila

This was an amazing hospital the nurse was very attentive, the whole team was supportive and knowledgeable. They walked me through my whole experience and supported me throughout my labor experience. I would encourage to do the epidural if you are in extreme pain because Dr.Khan was phenomenal and walked me through everything.

My c section was everything I had hoped for and more. Dr. Ravins was highly recommended by my OB/GYN when I became aware that I would potentially be getting a c section. Dr. Ravins came in before the surgery and was very thorough with my husband and I, to alleviate any concerns and explain the procedure.

What You Should Know About Infertility

What is infertility?
blue lineblue line

Infertility is common in the United States and affects millions of women of childbearing age. Medically, infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant (or stay pregnant) after 12 months of regular intercourse without the use of birth control. For women 35 and up, infertility is considered probable after six months of unprotected sex.

Pregnancy is a multi-step process. In order for you to get pregnant, your ovaries must release an egg, which then travels down your fallopian tube to your uterus. Along the way, the egg must meet up with sperm for fertilization, and then the fertilized egg must attach itself to your uterus.

Any malfunction or problem with one of the steps makes it harder for you to get pregnant.

What causes infertility?
blue lineblue line

Infertility may develop from many causes. In women, the most common cause of infertility is related to irregularities with ovulation, which may develop from an underlying gynecological condition such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Though less common, structural problems in your reproductive organs, such as blocked fallopian tubes or uterine fibroids, may interfere with your ability to conceive.

Your difficulty in getting pregnant may also be related to infertility problems in your male partner.

What can I expect during an infertility evaluation?
blue lineblue line

Raveco Medical offers comprehensive evaluations to identify the underlying cause of your infertility problem. At your initial infertility evaluation, you can expect a thorough exam that includes a review of your medical history and a physical and pelvic exam.

The evaluation may include testing that assesses your:

  • Ovulation
  • Fallopian tubes
  • Uterus
  • Partner’s sperm

The information gathered during your infertility evaluation establishes a diagnosis, which is then used to develop your infertility treatment plan.

What treatments are available for infertility?
blue lineblue line

Raveco Medical includes a team of experienced physicians who develop individualized infertility treatment plans based on your specific health needs and diagnosis. Your provider performs a full workup of your fertility and then refers you to a network of specialists for either in vitro fertilization (IVF) or artificial insemination.

Infertility can affect your physical, mental, and emotional health, but it doesn’t mean you won’t ever have a child.
