Dr. Werlin Recognized as an Authority

RENOWNED FERTILITY SPECIALIST “DR. LAWRENCE WERLIN”
RECOGNIZED AS LEADING INFERTILITY DOCTOR

Fertility Trends Make Headline News

Few subjects are as timely for women as fertility and reproductive medicine. Best-selling books, national news and major magazines have been investigating the fertility time clock, analyzing the reality of older women giving birth to healthy babies and debating when its realistic that a woman has reached the end of her child bearing years.

While great advances have taken place in reproductive medicine and fertility, up until now most couples rolled the dice hoping procedures such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) would result in a baby. A new study, conducted by Dr. Lawrence Werlin, takes the guessing game out of the process and gives women answers they have been hoping for that will increase their chances for pregnancy success.

Studies Give High-Risk Women and Women 38 Years and Older Answers for Increasing Pregnancy Success

Dr. Werlin, a leading fertility specialist, recently pioneered two studies to assess the effects of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), the screening of chromosomes and genes of an embryo that allows couples to test for defects and abnormalities.

The first study regarding IVF failure in women 38 years and older was presented last month at a major conference. The second multi -centered study, which is investigating the effects of PGD for women in three high-risk categories: recurrent pregnancy loss, advanced maternal age and women with failed IVF cycles. As the principal investigator, Dr. Werlin is expected to present his findings internationally in October, at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s (ASRM) annual symposium

Findings from both studies offer hope and promise in a world of uncertainty giving women answers that will increase their knowledge and chances for pregnancy success.
