Infertility & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Infertility & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL)

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. 

Important Definitions:

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.   


What Contributes to Infertility & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss?

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: 

  • Congenital uterine anomalies, eg unicornuate, bicornuate, sepate uteri
  • Endometriosis
  • Adenomyosis 
  • Chronic endometritis (subclinical infection of endometrium) 
  • Leiomyoma (fibroids)  
  • Polyps 
  • Intrauterine adhesions (scar tissue)
  • Cervical insufficiency 
  • Defective endometrial receptivity, eg: chronic endometritis


Thrombophilias: (thrombo = clot; philia = favor) 

  • Factor VII Deficiency 
  • Protein S & C Deficiencies
  • Factor V Leiden mutation 
  • Prothrombin mutation 
  • MTHFR mutation 


Immunological Diseases: (Auto-Immune Disorders)

  • Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosous (SLE) 
  • Celiac Disease (even mild)
  • Myasthenia Gravis  


Endocrine Diseases: 

  • Diabetes Mellitus
  • Thyroid Disease
  • Hyperprolactinemia
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
  • Luteal Phase deficiency 


Genetic factors: 

  • Aneuploidy- conditions with abnormal # of chromosomes, eg: Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21).
  • Other chromosomal abnormalities, eg: Turner’s Syndrome (45X).


Male Infertility 

  • Male infertility is believed to be solely responsible for approximately  20-30% of the infertility experienced by couples in the US. 
  • Oftentimes I will recommend your husband has a semen analysis and a physical exam for the spouses. 
  • Did you know that varicoceles (enlarged veins present in the scrotal sac) are present in 4.4% to 22.6% of the general male population, in 21% to 41% in men with primary infertility, and found in as many as 75% to 80% in men with secondary infertility? Varicoceles can also be easily treated by a urologist.

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.

Research at St. Paul VI Institute-Causes of Infertility (660 couples)

   **Note: 77.4% of women with Infertility who participated in this study were diagnosed with endometriosis. Read more about endometriosis here. 

**Note: PCOD = Polycystic Ovarian Disease - Current terminology is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Read more about PCOS here. 

What is Chronic Endometritis?

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.
