NaProTechnology®
Many people think in-vitro-fertilization (IVF) is the only solution to infertility. Guess what? It is not. Let us tell you about another option that you may have never heard of, and why you should consider it.
What is NaProTECHNOLOGY®?
NaProTECHNOLOGY® is a different way of looking at reproductive health problems, but it is not “alternative medicine”. NaProTECHNOLOGY® trained physicians are physicians, trying to get to the root cause of your infertility problem and correct it. This starts with detailed tracking of the woman’s menstrual cycles. Problems in the cycle can then be corrected and the natural result is that conception often happens naturally.
Here are a few reasons to consider NaProTECHNOLOGY® instead of IVF:
