In view of the coming winter storm that may produce power outages, we want to reassure our patients that your embryos are stored in tanks of liquid nitrogen which do not require any electricity to maintain their temperatures. Severe winter weather should have no effect on their storage.
An increasing number of women are turning to fertility specialists for help conceiving. Recently, our very own Dr. Bird and one of our IVF patients, Vanessa Tripp, were featured in an Eye on Health segment covering the growing need for fertility treatment on local Chattanooga news station, WRCBtv. In the segment, Dr. Bird discusses fertility treatment options and his work as a reproductive endocrinologist, and Vanessa shares her experiences with infertility and IVF.

Thank you, Vanessa, for sharing your story!
