Fertility RRM in Michigan

is a scientific approach to reproductive medicine that cooperates with and restores the normal, healthy anatomy and physiology of your reproductive system.

Testimonials
Our clients don't just achieve their goals—they define success in their own words.
I think it was nine to 10 months, and we had a positive pregnancy test... which was really amazing to finally
see that.
Mary Kate Weeber,
Grand Rapids, MI
They have found things that the traditional fertility doctors overlooked…it’s so worth it to heal your bodies and prepare for a healthy pregnancy. I am truly so grateful this clinic exists!
Victoria S.
They slowed down the process, digging deeper to find out what was really wrong, then they treated the issues--monitoring every step--to ensure our success.

Chart RRM v. IVF
Treatment Philosophy
RRM identifies and treats underlying causes to restore natural fertility
IVF bypasses underlying issues to create pregnancy in laboratory setting
Success Rates
RRM success rates are:
50% natural conception within 12 months
69% natural conception within 18 months
IVF reports variable success rates dependent on age and clinic and often require multiple cycles.
Inclusivity
RRM welcomes into the program:
- Women with higher BMI (over 35)
- Low AMH and advanced maternal age
- Uses your own eggs regardless of age factors
While IVF:
- Typically excludes women with BMI over 35
- Often recommends donor eggs for low AMH or advanced age
- May limit treatment based on strict criteria
- Women with higher BMI (over 35)
Health Approach
While RRM:
- Restores reproductive health and natural cycles
- Addresses root causes of infertility
- Improves overall wellbeing beyond fertility
IVF approach:
- Focuses primarily on achieving pregnancy
- May not address underlying health issues
- Limited impact on overall health
- Restores reproductive health and natural cycles
Patient Involvement
With RRM:
- You become an active participant in your care
- Learn to understand your unique cycle patterns
- Gain lifelong reproductive health knowledge
With IVF expect:
- More passive patient experience
- Limited involvement in treatment decisions
- Less emphasis on patient education
- You become an active participant in your care
Understanding Fertility in Michigan
Michigan’s population trends show an increasing average maternal age of 29.5 years and a concerning rise in infertility-related issues—including those linked to endometriosis. Environmental factors, delayed childbearing, and lifestyle stressors continue to affect natural conception for many women.
Alarmingly, nearly one-third of Michigan’s 83 counties are classified as maternity care deserts, meaning access to OB/GYNs and fertility specialists is extremely limited—especially in rural and northern areas.

Fertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology in Michigan
Michigan, known as the Great Lakes State, is home to more than 10 million residents spread across vibrant cities like Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor, as well as rural and northern communities in the Upper Peninsula. Yet, despite the state’s size and population, nearly one-third of Michigan’s 83 counties are considered maternity care deserts leaving many women without consistent access to OB/GYNs or fertility specialists.

Fertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology in Michigan
In 2021, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART, such as IVF) was widely used in Michigan, with outcomes showing both successes and challenges:
- 78 ART clinics performed 5,220 procedures
- 4424 embryo transfers led to 2442 pregnancies
- Of these, 1,713 were single births and 230 were multiple births
- 499 pregnancies ended in miscarriage
- In terms of population, there were 2434 ART procedures for every 1 million women aged 15–44 years
- "According to 2021 statistics, Michigan had 9 ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology, such as IVF) clinics performing 5,220 procedures.”
These numbers show that while ART offers some families hope, it also carries high costs physically, emotionally, and financially along with a significant miscarriage rate.
At Reply Fertility, we provide an alternative: natural, restorative reproductive medicine that focuses on long-term health, reducing risk factors for miscarriage, and working with the body to encourage conception.
