The Brody Difference
We find out why you're not pregnant.
Most "unexplained infertility" isn't unexplained — it's under-investigated. Nationally, unexplained infertility affects about one in eight couples. At this Institute, fewer than 2% of patients turn out to have true unexplained infertility. Dr. Brody's diagnostic-first approach finds the cause so you can move forward with a real plan.
Virtually all "unexplained" infertility traces to one of three causes
Failure of ovum pickup
The egg is released but never makes it into the fallopian tube.
Failure of fertilization
Egg and sperm meet, but fertilization doesn't occur.
Failure of implantation
An embryo forms, but doesn't successfully implant in the uterus.
These often overlap. Finding which one applies to you is the work — and it's where most evaluations stop short.
