"A large percentage of our patients live in and/or work in the District," said Dr. Widra.  "Having a second full-service location in D.C. provides patients with another convenient option for fertility consultations, testing and monitoring."  Shady Grove Fertility now operates 14 full-service offices and four satellite locations throughout the Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. areas serving patients from all 50 states and 38 countries.

"There are now fertility treatments to help almost everyone conceive, including a range of low-tech and high-tech options such as Clomid, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and donor egg," Dr. Widra explains.  "These treatments are very effective in overcoming most diagnoses such as annovulation, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), blocked fallopian tubes, unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriages or male factor infertility, to name only a few."

Who needs to see a fertility specialist?  Women who are generally healthy and have been unsuccessful in conceiving after several months of unprotected sex should consider getting help from a specialist. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine's guidelines recommends that women under the age of 35 consult with a fertility specialist after one year of unsuccessfully trying to conceive, while those 35 or older should schedule a consultation after six months. For women over the age of 40, a consultation with a fertility specialist is highly recommended as soon as possible.

Shady Grove Fertility's new Washington, D.C. office is located at 5215 Loughboro Rd., NW, Ste. 410, Washington, D.C. 20016.  Other full service locations include:
