Healthy Habits: INVOCell

INVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTC: IVOB), a medical device company granted FDA clearance for the first Intravaginal Culture System, INVOcell™, recently announced Family Beginnings, PC, a leading reproductive medicine practice in Indianapolis, reported the first delivery of healthy babies in the State of Indiana utilizing the INVOcell technology. Family Beginnings, PC is operated by two of the leading advocates of the INVOcell fertility process - James Donahue, MD & Leo Bonaventura, MD,who were again recently named ‘Top Docs’ by Indianapolis Monthly magazine, as they have in previous years.

They also recently announced that The Fertility Center of San Antonio, Texas, a leading reproductive services provider in central and southeast Texas, has expanded the scope of its reproductive services with the addition of INVOcell.

INVOcell is a patented medical device used in the treatment of infertility that enables egg fertilization and early embryo development to take place in the woman’s body, in vivo. The INVO Solution allows women to incubate their own gametes, providing a psychological benefit while reducing the risk of wrong embryo transfer. Utilizing a mild stimulation protocol, it decreases the number of oocytes required, which may reduce the risk of severe ovarian hyperstimulation (OHSS), reduce the risk of multiple births, and/or reduce the need for embryo cryopreservation and storage. As a lower cost option to traditional IVF, INVOcell expands access to patients who may otherwise be unable to afford the traditional method or would prefer for a more natural, cultural, or religious appropriate choice.
