World Embryologist Day

Today is World Embryologist Day! On this day in 1978, the world’s first IVF baby was born, and since then there have been amazing advances in fertility medicine that have helped countless couples achieve their dreams of having a baby .

Embryologists play an important role in an IVF clinic. Embryologists are those who study sperm, eggs, and embryos. They will be able to determine which sperm, eggs, and embryos are the healthiest and can be selected for IVF treatment.

We appreciate our embryologist, Katie, so much and the very important work she does!

One patient’s FINA story 💕

Here is one patient’s #FINA story…💕
 
“We came to FINA one year after trying to conceive with no luck. Dr. Davenport devised a plan for us and we started our journey. We had 3 failed IUIs and we moved on to IVF. Our first transfer ended up being a chemical pregnancy which was heartbreaking for us but we decided to immediately do another one.
 
The next transfer cycle we got pregnant with our beautiful baby girl who is 4 months old now. Dr. Davenport, Kendra, Abby, and Tarryn were so great during the whole process! Kendra also explained things so well and was so supportive.”
 
Thank you to this patient for sharing her story! We are so honored to have been part of this family’s journey.

Endometriosis Awareness

Did you know that endometriosis affects about 176 million women (or 10%) worldwide? 24 to 50% of women who experience infertility have endometriosis.
 
This fertility health issue happens when cells or tissues similar to the tissues that form the uterine lining relocate and begin to grow outside the uterus. Endometriosis can grow in and on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, and other organs of the pelvic cavity.
 
It takes on average 7.5 years from when #endometriosis symptoms start to get a proper diagnosis.
 
This is why awareness is so important.💕

Getting Started on your Fertility Journey

If you’ve been thinking about taking that first step, we encourage you to go ahead and reach out! You can either call us at 256-217-9613 or visit our website to set up your first consultation.

A couple’s first visit will consist of a consultation with Dr. Davenport. It is at this time that Dr. Davenport will gain a full understanding of your history, and you and Dr. Davenport will decide upon the best treatment plan for you. We encourage both spouses to be present at this visit, although we understand that this is not always possible.

At FINA, we will submit the charges for office visits, labs, ultrasounds, and procedures to your insurance company. Our staff will confirm what services are covered by your insurance, but we encourage all of our patients to verify their coverage as well.

If you do not have insurance or prefer that we do not file your fertility treatment with your insurance company, we offer cash pay packages for your visits. For those services that are not covered by insurance, we try to make them as affordable to you as possible. In these cases, we bundle services together in order to discount the overall cost to you.

Our fertility clinic is designed to personally assist you through this journey. Though you may feel anxious, we are here to walk this journey with you. ❤️

Another precious miracle ♥

It is always such a highlight for us when a patient brings in their sweet baby to meet Dr. Davenport and the staff. These precious miracles are exactly why we do what we do! ❤

“I’m glad we chose FINA…”

“Starting fertility treatments is overwhelming and scary, which is why I’m glad we chose FINA to begin our journey towards parenthood. Everyone in this clinic makes you feel like family.
Dr. D is an amazing and educated doctor and we always trusted him when he pointed us towards a new step in this journey. Our nurse Kendra is the best nurse I’ve ever met. She always made me feel at ease and she was always upbeat.
We were honestly sad to leave everyone once we graduated, but we’re so thankful for everything they did to get us to this pregnancy and we can’t wait to come back and show off our little boy this fall.”
Experiences like this make us so grateful to do what we do. ❤️

Another FINA story…💕

Hearing patient experiences like this make us so incredibly happy. We love what we do!❤
“The whole staff at FINA is amazing! Tarryn, Abby, Bree, Kendra, and Dr. D are the best combination of people to work with.
Dr. D tailored our treatments toward what worked best for us as a couple after going through 4 early miscarriages. Kendra was primarily over our treatment plan after a positive pregnancy test, and her and Tarryn were just as excited as we were when we finally got to graduate from FINA!
We will forever be grateful to this amazing fertility family, and FINA will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

A special week at FINA!

This is a very special week at FINA! This week marks one year since we began seeing patients in our new facility!✨
We have so enjoyed the extra space and the beautiful architecture. And we have loved the convenience of having our very own state-of-the-art IVF lab and reproductive surgery suite right here in our own building.
We are continually improving so we can serve you better, and we are so thankful for all who choose us to do such an important work in their lives. 💕
