- Male InfertilityA study conducted by the University of California San Francisco found that exposure to hot baths or hot tubs can lead to male infertility. The study focused on 11 male patients who were regularly exposed to “wet heat” from a heated jacuzzi or hot tub. All of the participants were asked to abstain from wet heat exposure for at least three months. Five of the patients (45 percent) showed a mean increase in total motile sperm counts of 491 percent after three to six months. Among responders, sperm motility rose from a mean of 12 percent at the start of the study to 34 percent post-intervention. The results of this experiment were statistically significant. Five of the six patients who did not see an increase in their sperm count or motility were chronic tobacco users. Tobacco use emerged as a possible differentiating factor in this research. Based on the results of the UCSF study, it appears that the negative impact of wet heat on sperm motility can be minimized over time. Fertility specialists recommend avoiding wet heat from hot tubs or heated jacuzzis prior to and while trying to conceive.
- Emergency CareLast but not least, we do have some ADDITIONAL NOTES REGARDING COMMUNICATION: We have a 24/7 on-call nurse that can truly be used 24/7 for urgent matters and questions. The patient portal web correspondence is for general questions and will be replied to within 24 hours. If you are having an emergency, you need to go to your local emergency department or urgent care facility.
- ImmunizationsPublic Health – We may disclose your protected health information to a public health authority who is permitted by law to collect or receive the information. For example, the disclosure may be necessary to prevent or control disease, injury or disability; report births and deaths; or report reactions to medications or problems with medical products. This disclosure is also made when child or adult abuse or neglect or domestic violence is suspected. We may provide proof of immunization without authorization, to your school if (i) the school is required by State or other law to have proof of immunization prior to admission and (ii) we obtain and document your permission or, for a minor, the permission of the parent, guardian or other person acting in loco parentis for the individual.
- GynecologyRecurrent pregnancy loss, as defined by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), is experiencing two or more miscarriages. That said, a thorough exam and workup usually aren’t performed until after a woman’s third pregnancy loss.
- Female Infertility
- Obstetrics
- EndometriosisConditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrom (PCOS), endometriosis, and ovarian cysts are known to impact female fertility negatively. Research has indicated that acupuncture can be used along with traditional medical treatments to improve symptoms that may be causing infertility. For example, women with PCOS are known to suffer from anovulation. When a woman does not ovulate, she can’t get pregnant. Research has shown that repeated acupuncture treatments can help to induce ovulation in over 1/3 of women with PCOS. Other studies have shown that acupuncture can specifically help patients with PCOS undergoing IVF treatment. After measuring the effects of acupuncture on 66 patients undergoing IVF treatment, researchers concluded that acupuncture can positively influence pregnancy outcomes, relieve symptoms of energetic kidney deficiency, and improve clinical pregnancy rates.
- PregnancyTreatment – We will use and disclose your protected health information to provide, coordinate or manage your health care and any related services. This includes the coordination or management of your health care with a third party. For example, we may disclose your protected health information from time-to-time to another physician or health care provider (for example, a specialist, pharmacist or laboratory) who, at the request of your physician, becomes involved in your care, such as a perinatologist managing a high-risk pregnancy. In emergencies, we will use and disclose your protected health information to provide the treatment you require.
- Labor and DeliveryFor social, personal, and professional reasons, many people choose to delay childbirth. Given egg quality (and thus fertility) declines sharply in the mid to late thirties, egg freezing is a great way to put a stop on a woman’s biological clock.
- Colon CancerBeef and other red meats have been hotly contested topics of debate: good for you or not? While some earlier observational studies concluded there was a link between red meat and colon cancer, more recent examinations of these studies found insufficient evidence to support the association. And modern randomized studies have supported a very different conclusion, finding that red meat consumption showed no significant associations with an increased risk of cancer or heart events.
- AutismHeightened levels of omega 3s during pregnancy are also associated with all of the following; brain and eye development, higher intelligence, better communication, and social skills, fewer behavioral problems, decreased risk of developmental delay decreased risk of ADHD, autism, and cerebral palsy.
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Depression
- Mental HealthSince 1996, ConceiveAbilities has advocated on behalf of intended parents who want to grow their families. Support includes gestational carrier and donor recruitment, intake, education, agency screening and matching as well as mental health, legal and financial assistance.

- EndocrinologyCNY Fertility Syracuse Our sprawling CNY Fertility Syracuse campus encompasses over 20,000 square feet and features a state of the art surgical center, embryology lab, andrology lab, endocrinology lab, and one of a kind fertility wellness spa - CNY Healing Arts.
- ThyroidHormonal disorders like diabetes, Polycystic Ovary Syndrom (PCOS), and thyroid disease can also contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss. In fact, researchers estimate that endocrinal disorders may contribute to anywhere from 12-18% of recurrent pregnancy loss cases.
- UltrasoundThis is the estimated total paid to third-party facilities for things like medications (which are paid directly to a pharmacy) ultrasound and bloodwork monitoring (if that is not being done at CNY), genetic testing of embryos, and more. The cost of third-party services is highly variable and estimates should always be collected or calculated carefully yourself prior to beginning treatment. CNY Fertility provides these estimates based on internal research for the general convenience of our current and prospective patients. While we intend for these estimates to be accurate, third-party costs are highly variable and CNY Fertility does not warrant or guarantee any price for services conducted or rendered by a third party.
- MRIAfter the ultrasound, your doctor or fertility specialist may recommend a saline ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), MRI, or a hysteroscopy to further assess the status of the uterus and check for abnormalities like polyps, fibroids, or scarring.
- RadiologyWe understand how difficult that is and created an entire team to assist and manage most of your cycle remotely. By working and partnering with your local OBGYN, Fertility Clinic, Radiology Office, and or Laboratory, you can have all your preliminary testing and monitoring office visits right at home. Most people traveling to us from out-of-state and out of the country only spend 2-7 days in New York.
- ChemotherapyThe process of harvesting and freezing eggs. Done to preserve one’s fertility prior to chemotherapy (or other fertility damaging medical treatments), transitioning, or those simply hoping to expand their family later in life.
- Radiation TherapyWomen with cancer requiring chemotherapy and/or pelvic radiation therapy have a high likelihood of it affecting their fertility. Freezing eggs before undergoing treatment is a smart choice.
- Minimally Invasive SurgeryA minimally invasive surgery used for diagnostic and corrective reasons that can aid in establishing and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
- VasectomyA vasectomy reversal is a surgery done to undo a vasectomy by reconnecting each vas deferens tube that carries sperm from the testicles to where the semen is stored.
- Hysterectomy
- Endometrial AblationAn endometrial ablation is a procedure that surgically destroys the lining of your uterus (usually done to reduce menstrual flow) but in most cases also makes carrying difficult and or dangerous.
- LaparoscopyThat’s what they say and it certainly has its merits. Being able to receive care is the most basic of basics. However, outside of a few one-day procedures ( tubal reversals, laparoscopy, etc) the majority of fertility treatments take at least 2-3 weeks. Traditional travel fertility programs require you to be away from work and home during that time.
