Dr. Alan Copperman speaks to Self magazine about healthy practices to incorporate during intercourse

If you have a vagina, you've probably been told (maybe several times) that you’re supposed to pee after sex. It’s just one of those unwritten rules, that we all dutifully follow (or knowingly ignore). The last thing you want to remind you of your most recent romp is a UTI, right?
But that doesn't mean you need to jump out of bed to hit the restroom the second the main event ends. Here's what you need to know about when you really need to go.

Slower Blastocysts Demonstrate Lower Implantation Rates Due to Embryo-Endometrial Asynchrony and Not to Reduced Embryonic Competence, Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York Shares Discovery at 2015 ASRM Conference

Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York (RMA of New York) will present data demonstrating that embryo-endometrial asynchrony is accountable for lower implantation rates in slower blastocysts, and not reduced embryonic competence as previously thought. Jorge Rodriguez-Purata, MD presents original research during the ASRM Interactive Session derived from the study entitled "Slower Blastocysts Demonstrate Lower Implantation Rates Due to Embryo-Endometrial Asynchrony and Not By Reduced Embryonic Competence".

Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York Proudly Announces New Study Demonstrating >37% Acceleration in Fertility Patient Journey to Parenthood

Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York (RMA of New York), a Manhattan-based fertility center, recently completed a study entitled "Patient Treatment Journeys, Then and Now: 12 Years of Clinical Progress", demonstrating that over the twelve-year period between 2003 and 2014, the time span from patients' first consultation to discharge to their obstetrician markedly declined, dropping from 9.1 months to 5.7 months. RMA of New York physicians and researchers involved in the study attribute advances in clinical expertise and assisted reproductive technologies, such as comprehensive chromosomal screening (CCS) of embryos which enable physicians to identify healthy, chromosomally normal embryos with greater than 98% accuracy. By selecting a single optimal embryo for transfer, physicians can achieve higher success rates while reducing occurrences of miscarriage. Through these groundbreaking techniques, patients were able to achieve successful live birth outcomes more rapidly, with multiple gestation rates diminishing by 50% over the same time frame. The decrease in multiple gestations and increase in healthy singleton pregnancies helped patients return to their obstetricians more quickly than ever before.
