The SIU Fertility and IVF Center offers a nationally recognized, board-certified team of fertility experts who provide comprehensive fertility treatments to couples who need help to conceive.  Physicians, laboratory staff, program coordinators, nurses, psychologists, geneticists, nutritionists, and acupuncturists specialize in helping couples become families.  We are committed to the most clinically advanced and sensitive exploration of every avenue that is available for your unique situation.  We believe no couple should give up trying to conceive before exploring all their options.  Our team at the SIU Fertility and IVF Center would like to help you.

Convenience

The reassurance of returning to your own doctor

Upon successful treatment in our Center, couples complete their pregnancy under the care of their own obstetrician.  At SIU, we respect and support the relationship with your own obstetrician and we want your pregnancy to be personal, comfortable and reassuring.  Our fertility specialists will keep your obstetrician informed of your treatment status.
