Dr. Nicholas J. Spirtos designed the Northeastern Ohio Fertility Center in July of 1992 as a state-of-the-art facility dedicated solely to the treatment of fertility and other reproductive disorders. The Center was designed so that all examinations, tests and procedures (except surgical) can be performed in our own facility by our highly trained team of professionals. Because the reproductive cycle is so unpredictable and infertile patients require close monitoring during particular phases of the menstrual cycle, our Center is open daily (except Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) to ensure that a chance for pregnancy is not lost.

As we are primarily concerned with the fertility of our patients, those who are successful in achieving pregnancy are monitored by the Center for 10 to 12 weeks, and then referred to their obstetrician for the remainder of their pregnancy.

SURROGACY

AT THE NORTHEASTERN OHIO FERTILITY CENTER

For many infertile individuals/couples, surrogacy is the only femaining option to help complete the family unit. Surrogacy is an emotional and financially difficult means to achieve parenthood. The Northeastern Ohio Fertility Center provides a comprehensive support team of attorneys and counselors along with our experienced embryologist, Ms. Kelly Athayde and our physician with over 25 years experience in assisted reproductive technologies. Dr. Nicholas J. Spirtos will provide the needed services in a compassionate and cost effective manner.

Identifying an appropriate surrogate mother who is compatible with the recipient individual/couple is by no means, an easy endeavor. We encourage the recipient/couple to help identify their own surrogate. This reduces much of the stress and finanical burden of surrogacy.

Once the surrogate is accepted, appropriately screened, and contracts completed, the process of synchronization begins. In most scenarios, this endeavor culminates in oocyte retrieval, oocyte fertilization and embryo transfer into the hormonally prepared surrogate. Hopefully, a succesful pregnancy is documented two weeks after embyro transfer.

If you are interested in surrogate motherhood or becoming an egg donor please contact the Northeastern Ohio Fertility Center to learn more about our programs.
