Fertility, IUI and Family Building

Midwifery care begins before conception

Although our practice is focused on helping pregnant people through pregnancy and birth, Neva is also available to assist in making babies and growing families.

Laoch strives to apply the midwifery model of care to fertility and family building to ensure each family has individualized holistic fertility care that takes into account each personal road to pregnancy and parenthood.

OPTIMIZING FERTILITY

If you are trying to conceive or considering insemination and would like to learn about optimizing fertility please start with by scheduling a preconception visit.

Bring all of your questions about fertility and I will give you a short class on tracking cycles, charting fertility signs, recommended supplements for overall health, as well as a list of resources and education to help you create the best chances to conceive.

SEEKING IUI

If you are seeking IUI as an LGBTQ+ family, a single parent by choice, or if you are a heterosexual couple in need of low risk fertility services, let's start with a family building visit.

Here, we can discuss fertility tracking more specific to your needs and create the IUI schedule that will work best for you. If you have been tracking your cycles already, we can even schedule inseminations for your upcoming fertility windows. If needed, I can sign as the provider for your chosen sperm bank during this visit.

On the chosen day (or night) of your insemination, your comfort and safety are of the utmost importance. You can choose to have the procedure in the comfort of your home or if you’d prefer, I offer IUI in the peaceful environment of our Puyallup office.

If you have a partner, they are welcome and encouraged to participate in the process.
