Path Fertility

Path Fertility Co-Founders, Andy Olson and Dr. Kristin Brogaard, have the pleasure of presenting recent real-world data at MRSI in Chicago this week. The real-world data reveal a 0% pregnancy success rate for patients with an Abnormal SpermQT undergoing IUI (average 2.7 cycles). In contrast, patients with Excellent or Normal SpermQT results achieved a 19.7% pregnancy success rate. These findings are promising, as they support our hypothesis that IUI is not an effective treatment option for couples with significant gene dysregulation in their sperm. #MRSI #data #reproductivehealth #reproductiveendocrinology #fertility #infertility

And that's a wrap on National Infertility Awareness Week 2024! This week is always special to the team at Path Fertility because we are on a mission to help both patients and providers gain a better understanding of fertility potential. We've seen the heartbreak and felt the losses that are so prevalent in the infertility community. But we've also seen what it looks like on the other side of that journey--when the baby finally arrives and there is so much joy in this shared experience. And so, we aim to help couples out there to gain as much information as they can about the male side of reproductive health and how that affects their options. If you'd like to join us on our mission, or if you'd like to use SpermQT, feel free to reach out to us at info@pathfertility.com! #NationalInfertilityAwarenessWeek #NIAW #TTC #Fertility

In the midst of fertility struggles, clarity can feel elusive, like searching for light in a dense forest. Hindsight often reveals where different choices may have changed outcomes. Our goal at Path Fertility is to help patients find the best choice faster, so that they don't have to look back and wonder. By offering more insights about the male partner's sperm, SpermQT enables couples to determine their next steps with more certainty. When asked what value SpermQT provided on their fertility journey, here's what one of our users had to say! #NationalInfertilityAwarenessWeek #NIAW #FertilityJourney #TTC #SpermQT #ReproductiveMedicine

Fertility 101: FSH Levels and why it matters for men So often we talk about female hormone levels when thinking about fertility. But, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) plays a crucial role in male fertility, too! FSH can have a major influence on sperm production and testicular function. Whether assessing high or low FSH levels, recognizing symptoms and treatment options is key to addressing fertility challenges effectively. Our guide explores FSH's significance, measurement, and implications for reproductive health. By understanding FSH intricacies, individuals can navigate fertility journeys with informed decisions and professional guidance.

📊 SpermQT categorizes sperm quality results as Excellent, Normal or Abnormal, each of which are correlated with success rates of certain fertility procedures. 4 out of 5 men with an Abnormal SpermQT result display normal semen analysis parameters, meaning those subfertile men are missed by the standard of care. Using SpermQT at the beginning of your fertility journey can help to avoid wasting time on procedures or techniques that won't work. Further in your journey, SpermQT can also help to explain why options like IUI might be failing. 📣 We asked one of our users: what prompted your doctor to order SpermQT? #NationalInfertilityAwarenessWeek #NIAW #ReproductiveEndocrinology #Urology #Fertility #TTC

Fertility 101: How many times should you try IVF? Undergoing IVF is a major decision and if you've tried it before, you know how much time, money, and dedication it takes. Unfortunately, IVF doesn't always work on the first try. In fact, the number of assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles started more than doubled in the US between 2010 and 2019. 🤷♀️ So, how many times should you try it before seeking other options? 📈 Generally, studies show that the cumulative effect of trying multiple IVF rounds can lead to higher chances of pregnancy. Nevertheless, deciding to continue or stop trying is highly personal. It should be made in consideration of all psychological, financial, and health risk factors.

Get the Fertility Facts: What are the stages of embryo development? 🐝 We’ve all heard the simple tales about the birds and the bees. But for those trying to conceive who want a little more detail about how babies are made, we're here to help! Several distinct stages have to happen for an embryo to develop: 🔹 A sperm must reach, penetrate, and fertilize an egg to form a zygote. 🔹 The zygote must divide and form a blastocyst. 🔹 The blastocyst must reach the uterus and implant in the endometrium. 🔹 The implanted blastocyst continues its development into an embryo and then a fetus. In this guide, we will explain each of these crucial stages and offer insights about what’s going on in your body as you explore the path to parenthood!

🛣 Often the path to pregnancy is called a "journey." And it is -- there can be twists and turns, moments of stop and go, and a seemingly uphill battle with your body. Path Fertility is on a mission to help make that journey a little easier.

SpermQT was designed to help couples understand potential male factors better, enabling them to choose the treatment or procedure that's right for them. 📣 We asked how SpermQT impacted some of our patients' fertility journeys.
