At RMA of Philadelphia and Central Pennsylvania we recognize how overwhelming your fertility journey can be. Oftentimes, knowing what to expect can help alleviate some of the anxiety. Check out this informative video that offers a glimpse into a "typical" day of one of our world-class reproductive endocrinologists. Follow Dr. Freedman as he speaks to a patient on his morning drive to the office, meets with a new patient, and then performs an ultrasound and embryo transfer. We think this video diary really captures the many aspects of the RMA patient experience.

For women 35 and under, infertility is defined as not having achieved a pregnancy after one year of unprotected intercourse, or having experienced multiple miscarriages. For women over 35, or for those who have previously conceived, it is appropriate to seek evaluation and treatment after six months of trying.
Approximately 35% of infertility is due to a female factor and 35% is due to a male factor. In the remainder of cases, infertility is either a result of problems with both partners (if applicable), or the cause cannot be explained.
According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 7.3 million Americans, or one in eight couples of childbearing age, are infertile. Several risk factors can contribute to problems with fertility, including age, irregular periods, prior surgeries, extreme weight gain or loss, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), smoking, and/or alcohol use.
At RMA of Philadelphia, we take a personalized, comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating infertility. Following a medical evaluation, we tailor a fertility plan of care to address the specific needs of each patient. Check out our success rates and patient testimonials to learn more.
