A Shady Grove Fertility Baby is Born Every 3 Hours

In the last 20 years, over 27,000 babies were born as a result of Shady Grove Fertility Center (SGFC). When the center opened its doors in 1991, approximately one baby was born every 20 days. Today, one SGFC baby is born approximately every 3 hours. Now that's a reason to celebrate! As part of the anniversary festivities, a new website, JoyforGenerations.com was created as a place for past, present and future fertility patients, staff members, referring physicians and practice partners to read or share inspirational stories and images about their experience with SGFC. If you are a patient or partner of Shady Grove Fertility Center, visit JoyforGenerations.com today to share your story!

What is a Fertility Evaluation?

If you are having trouble conceiving the best thing you can do is seek medical help from a fertility specialist. During the first initial consultation your doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical and fertility history. You will have an opportunity to ask questions and together you will determine the next steps, either a treatment plan or possibly additional testing if the diagnosis is unclear. Unless required by your insurance, you do not need a referral from a primary doctor to come to Shady Grove Fertility.
