“I knew miscarriages happened. I just never thought it would happen to me. And when it did, I felt so alone.” 💙

Grief can be incredibly lonely. Even when we're surrounded by people who love us, pregnancy and infant loss can leave us feeling separate from the world around us.

And yet, in every community, every culture, every religion, there are people who understand this kind of heartbreak.

Tonight, at 7 p.m., we join the International Wave of Light, lighting candles for the babies who are remembered, the pregnancies that ended too soon, and the people who carry those losses with them. 🕯️

At CARS, we're holding space for you. Whether your loss was recent or decades ago, whether you've shared your story or kept it close, you belong in this circle of remembrance.

And to everyone who has held space for someone grieving, thank you. 💙

With compassion and remembrance,
Dr. Claudio Benadiva, Dr. David Schmidt, Dr. Lawrence Engmann, Dr. Andrea DiLuigi, Dr. Daniel Grow, Dr. Reeva Makhijani, Dr. Prachi Godiwala, Dr. Kelly Lynch, Dr. Maya Barsky, and the entire CARS team.

Welcome to the world, little Autumn! ✨💙

After a journey filled with hope, perseverance, and three embryo transfers, Autumn’s family finally has their long-awaited little girl. Her mom shares a little about their journey and the role CARS played in helping them along the way:

“It was our 3rd transfer and hope was dwindling. Dr. Grow helped maintain positivity for us when we felt like we couldn’t anymore. We are so thankful for CARS for bringing us our daughter.”

Congratulations to Autumn’s family on this beautiful new chapter! We’re so grateful to have been part of your journey and wish you so much happiness in the years ahead. 💙

October is Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month, so we’re celebrating the sonographers who help you see what’s happening inside! 🩵

Meet Dina, one of our sonographers at CARS in Farmington. In this video, she shows you how to read one of the most common images you’ll see on the screen during your monitoring visits: your endometrium, the lining of your uterus.

Your lining changes throughout your cycle. Sometimes it looks bright white, sometimes like a thin white line, and sometimes it’s almost the same gray as your uterus. In this scan, Dina points out the three distinct lines of a triple-layer endometrium. ✨

Ultrasound is a big part of fertility care. It helps our team at CARS, a First Fertility practice, track your cycle and plan each next step with you. Thank you to our incredible sonographers for the care and expertise you bring to every scan. 💙

Questions about your own ultrasound? Our team is always happy to walk you through what you’re seeing.

It’s okay to not be okay. 💙

There can be so much pressure to stay positive during a fertility journey. But you don’t have to find the bright side of every difficult moment.

Some days you may feel hopeful. Other days you may feel angry, anxious, exhausted, disappointed - or simply not okay.

Those feelings don’t need to be fixed or pushed aside. They deserve acknowledgment and compassion.

On World Mental Health Day, give yourself permission to feel what you feel, without judging yourself for it.

As always, the CARS team is here to support you. Every step of the way.

We have something new to share.

CARS is introducing Embryo Predict™, an AI powered technology that provides additional information to support embryo assessment during IVF.

For people going through IVF, new technology can bring new questions. What does it do? Is it right for me? Does it change my treatment plan?
Those are good questions to ask.

Embryo Predict is another tool that may be incorporated into care when appropriate. It does not change the importance of your individual treatment plan or the timing you and your care team have determined is right for you.

It also does not replace your embryologist or fertility specialist. Their experience and expertise remain an essential part of your care.
We’ll be sharing more about Embryo Predict, how it works, and its availability at CARS in the weeks ahead.

Have questions about your own treatment? Talk with your CARS care team.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is about taking care of all of you. 💙

Know your body. Keep up with screenings. Ask questions. And if you receive a breast cancer - or any cancer - diagnosis, remember that caring for yourself can include protecting your future fertility.

Some cancer treatments can affect fertility, and timing matters. Our team at the Center for Advanced Reproductive Services (CARS) is ready to see patients quickly after a cancer diagnosis to discuss fertility preservation options and help you move forward with the information you need.

Your health. Your fertility. Your future. All of you matters.

Grief is as individual as the person experiencing it.

Pregnancy and infant loss can bring emotions that are deeply personal and complex. There is no “right” way to move through loss, remember, or make space for what you are feeling.

Throughout Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Drs. Claudio Benadiva, David Schmidt, Lawrence Engmann, Andrea J. DiLuigi, Daniel Grow, Reeva Makhijani, Prachi Godiwala, Kelly Lynch, Maya Barsky, and the entire team at The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services (CARS) are holding space for those remembering a pregnancy or baby.

Whatever grief looks like for you, we are remembering with you. 🕯️

At The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services (CARS), we’re always looking for thoughtful ways to support the people who trust us with their fertility care.

This fall, we’ll be sharing something new from our embryology team.
As fertility care continues to evolve, what matters most to us stays the same: listening to you, understanding your individual journey, and bringing experience and expertise to every step of your care.

We’re looking forward to sharing more.

A beautiful reminder of what makes this work so special. ✨

We love seeing CARS families grow and getting to celebrate the milestones that come after a long-awaited fertility journey. Moments like these mean so much to our team, and we’re always grateful when families share them with us. 💙

Do you have a CARS baby of your own? We would love to see it! Share a photo in the comments below so we can celebrate with you.

If you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, you may have started seeing a new term: PMOS - Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

So, does this mean your diagnosis has changed? No. PMOS is the new name for the condition historically known as PCOS, reflecting our growing understanding that it involves much more than the ovaries.

And despite the old name, you don’t need to have ovarian cysts to meet the diagnostic criteria. The follicles that may appear on an ultrasound are not the same as pathological ovarian cysts.

We know that a change in terminology can bring questions. That’s why we’re breaking down what PMOS means, what’s changed, and what hasn’t.
