Up to 30% of couples who are evaluated by Fertility Care Centers are diagnosed with “Unexplained Infertility”. They are often told that their best (and sometimes their "only") option is Artificial Reproductive Technology (ART) which includes but is not limited to InVitro Fertilization (IVF).
I have great news for you! There is no such diagnosis as “Unexplained Infertility" among NaPro providers. NaProTechnology will offer you an alternative choice to IVF..... a "Natural Procreative" alternative!
NaPro is more effective than ART in assisting couples to achieve a pregnancy, touting an impressive 80% success rate demonstrated in over 35 yrs of research done at the St. Paul VI Institute. In many common Infertility cases, the success rate will be between 66 and 75% using NaPro as compared to only 7.5% to 61% using ART (depending on the specific type of procedure employed). See the CDC website and choose the procedure you would like to know about.
You may also wish to view a few good NaPro research articles showing our impressive pregnancy outcomes here: Tham, E., Stanford et al, and Collins, et al.
More importantly, NaProTechnology is morally acceptable and will never result in your embryo/babies being discarded or frozen. We strongly believe couples are deeply wounded by ART, though not always consciously. Lastly, the NaPro diagnostic work up and treatment protocols are much less expensive and absolutely safe for your baby. You may wish to view a recent research article demonstrating some of the harmful effects that ART can produce in your child here: Luke, et al.
Infertility: defined as the woman's inability to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. NaPro defines Infertility as the inability to achieve a pregnancy after 6 months of timed intercourse using the Creighton Model System of charting (CrMS).
Primary Infertility: the woman has never achieved a pregnancy.
Secondary Infertility: the woman has achieved a pregnancy in the past, but she is unable to achieve a pregnancy now.
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) (recurrent miscarriage) is defined as two or more pregnancy losses at less than 20 weeks gestation.
Chemical Pregnancy: the woman achieved a pregnancy, but the baby was lost (miscarriage) very early, typically at less than 4-6 wks.
There are many causes of infertility and RPL. NaPro providers will do a thorough work up to look for all of them.
Uterine Structural Causes:
Thrombophilias: (thrombo = clot; philia = favor)
Immunological Diseases: (Auto-Immune Disorders)
Endocrine Diseases:
Genetic factors:

Sharon summarizes the NaPro diagnostic evaluation and treatment management protocols for patients struggling with Infertility & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss. This lecture will discuss NaPro's nuanced hormone panel assessments, types of Luteal Phase Deficiencies, Ovulation Disorder and how NaPro providers will perform follicle tracking to make an accurate diagnosis for our patients.
Listen to Dr. Arri Coomarasamy, MD, one of the most well-known RPL-researchers. Dr. Coomarasamy is Professor of Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine and Director of the Tommy's National Centre for Miscarriage Research in Birmingham, UK, Enjoy this 20-minute VuMedi talk as Dr. Coomarasamy reviews a sub-analysis of his PRISM and PROMISE Trials, two of the largest studies on progesterone and RPL. Dr. Coomarasamy is now giving progesterone to his own patients who have had multiple pregnancy losses.
Enjoy this true case presentation of a 22 year old young women with a history of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL)) who received a NaPro diagnostic evaluation. The root cause of her RPL was identified and treated. NaPro Technology The patient was able to conceive a pregnancy, which she carried to 38.1 wks and had a successful delivery. NaPro providers are trained to find the root cause of your Infertility or Recurrent Pregnancy Losses.

For patients who have a diagnosis of Infertility or Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, we will pay attention to two very specific biomarkers: a) TEBB "Tail End Brown Bleeding (brown spotting at the end of your period) and b) a persistent "2W" mucus pattern in the post-Peak phase. Either biomarker may indicate a condition called Chronic Endometritis (C.E.) If you have either biomarker, we would discuss an option to schedule an endometrial biopsy, which can done in a local GYN office or preferably with a NaPro surgeon trained to recognize subtle signs of CE in the endometrium. The endometrial tissue should be sent for examination to look for signs of inflammation. A specific stain called a "CD138" must be ordered with this biopsy to correctly make the diagnosis of CE. About 78% of women treated for for CE with the appropriate antibiotic for 14-21 days are able to achieve a healthy pregnancy.
On occasion, if the woman's TEBB does not abate with progesterone replacement and she has had RPL, we could have a discussion about "empiric treatment for CE". This means, I will offer a course of doxycycline or clarithromycin be taken for 14 days to both the woman, which can sometimes resolve the chronic endometritis and allow the woman to achieve a pregnancy. Empiric Treatment will be done on a case by case basis. We do have data to show efficacy.
