INVOCELL represents a new advance in IVF technology. Just like with traditional IVF treatments, eggs and sperms are retrieved from patients' bodies and combined to facilitate fertilization. But instead of growing embryos in the lab, INVOCELL uses a small, patented device to incubate eggs more naturally inside a woman's vagina. This is a lower-cost option often with better results for some patients. That's why we're pleased to announce the expansion and renovation of our space in Norton Medical Plaza!

Most of us expect our lives to follow a predictable path - get an education, land a good job, find a mate, then start a family by getting pregnant and giving birth to a perfect child. Unfortunately, for 10% of the reproductive-aged population, those expectations will not be realized. More than 6 million couples in the U.S. are diagnosed with infertility and the underlying medical conditions that cause it.
Louisville Reproductive Center provides andrology and embryology services including semen analysis, sperm preparation, sperm cryopreservation, in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), assisted hatching and embryo cryopreservation. Our experienced staff is pleased to provide friendly, expert advice and knowledgeable service to help patients achieve successful pregnancies.
Ovulation is a biological process in which eggs are developed and released from the ovaries. When there is a miscommunication between the brain and the ovaries, such as in a hormonal disorder like PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), eggs are not grown or released regularly, sometimes not at all. This can, understandably, make it difficult to get pregnant.
If you're struggling to get pregnant on your own, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) could be the answer. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is defined as any fertility treatment where both an egg and sperm are removed from the body and used to create an embryo in a lab setting. The embryo is then placed back into the uterus to grow and develop, just like in a natural pregnancy.

I became a patient here in March 2021. Dr. Justice and the entire staff were so kind. Infertility is a very sensitive and hard struggle to go through - I greatly appreciate everyone being so warm and patient. To finally understand what is happening in my body has brought me so much peace, as well. Because of Dr. Justice's help, I have a beautiful son I'm eternally grateful.

I'll make this short and sweet! 13 years, several test, thousands of dollars, tears, 4 losses including 3 in the most recent year. Dr. Justice made it happen my first FET here. Currently 24 weeks with my rainbow BOY! Front desk staff were always sweet and amazing. ANGIE, became like family to me. I was listened to, had my worries put to ease and was understood.
When this worked, I truly believe that Dr. Justice and Angie were just as happy as us! It was bittersweet to graduate to an OB because I wasn't ready to leave their care! I'd never go anywhere else and I regret waiting so long to have my embryos transferred here. (They also we're my monitoring clinic before I was a patient here, and that went great as well) forever thankful for this practice!

We had our first consult today and the staff is simply amazing! From Bre getting us scheduled to Angie being amazing to then spending a lot of time with Dr Justice who answered all of our questions and really took the time to talk everything through with us. Greatly appreciate them going above and beyond :.

I've had such a great experience at this practice. The staff is super friendly and respectful about sensitive issues. I've always seen Dr. Tiffany Justice and she's by far one of the best doctors I've had. She always has a plan and ideas to explore. She is compassionate and caring. Really a great place.

My husband and I had a great experience here with Dr. Krause! She always took the time to answer all of my questions and never seemed like she was in a hurry to rush off to the next patient. All of the staff I encountered was very kind, from the front desk people to the medical assistant (Jess) who I had every single visit! I was thrilled with the outcome but very sad to leave this practice.

We just began our journey after several years of infertility/ losses. So far I have only had 2 visits, I'm not 100% sure what to expect thus far. However I can honestly say as nervous and anxious as I feel Dr. Devine and All members of the staff have all ready calmed my nerves. And when I say everybody there trust me I mean EVERYBODY there! Today I was so sacred and nervous for a saline ultrasound ( I thought it would be painful) the assistant calmed me and told me not to worry and made me feel loads better!
Then during the actual procedure Dr. Devine along with her APRN (I think that was her title sorry I'm a bad listener when I'm nervous but she was awesome too!) explained everything to me during the procedure and exactly what they were looking at on the screen. This helped tremendously and I was able to relax that much more. It was painless and they even taught me about my body a bit during the procedure.
Can't wait to continue my journey with them! And as my family states should I get pregnant It will definitely be because of "DR. Devine Intervention" LoL. But seriously thank you ALL for being wonderful people! Keep up the good work! From the bottom of my heart I can't thank each of you enough for the kindness and putting my fears to rest. If you are reading this review and contemplating infertility treatment don't wait as long as I did to make the call! You might be just as surprised at the positivity in this office as I was. No matter my outcome I'm so glad I chose this office! Looking forward to the future!

Dr. Homm, Dr. Devine and the whole staff here made us feel so special and welcomed. I absolutely loved my two doctors and working with them. We're due in April with our sweet little girl thanks to them. No matter what even if it delayed things I'm glad they gave me their best and advised me in the smartest directions to go. I love this place so much and would recommend everyone and anyone to go here.

Dr. Krause and Dr. Devine were both amazing physicians! I can not say enough good things about my experience with this practice. The staff were also great to work with and they always kept your informed. Francesca and Maddie were also wonderful to me during my entire process. I am thankful for this group every day!

This place is amazing! We have been seeing them for about a year and Dr. Krause has helped us with every obstacle or issue we have faced. She is so caring and has always taken the time to answer any questions we have. We just now graduated from them and on to our another doctor so hoping we succeed with our successful pregnancy. I would recommend this a doctor to anyone, especially if they are having fertility issues. The staff at this is location is wonderful as well, the front desk is always so kind to help with setting up appointments or helpful with any kind of billing or paperwork.

I can't even express just how grateful my wife and I are for Dr. Krause. We went to her in December 2016 after having a horrible experience at the UofL Fertility Clinic and she listened to our wants, figured out our needs, and worked with us as a team to help create our darling little ones. It took 5 IUIs and, finally, receipical ivf to make these two kids.
Each time we failed, Dr. Krause was understanding and determined to try again. She made us feel confident and always took the time to explain everything in detail about procedures, next steps, and otions. As a lesbian couple of color, it was important that we found a care provider who could meet our specific needs. Moving into the receipical ivf process was a smooth and easy transition.
We were successful on our first try that we did Aug 2017. In Feb, we welcomed two of the coolest kids. Without Krause, they simply wouldn't be here. She is truly the best in her field and a beautiful person to have on your team during this rough journey.

I'm a big science and medicine nerd and I appreciated that Dr. Krause was always willing to hear me out. I read medical journal articles for fun (I'm weird, I know!) and Dr. Krause was never threatened by my knowledge or my suggestions. I started at another office and they really pushed for IVF with donor eggs immediately after I became a patient there. Dr. Krause was much more open-minded about allowing me to take my time and try some unconventional options before we went for donor eggs with IVF.
I am now 10 weeks pregnant and we conceived naturally thanks to the work I did with a local acupuncturist and the constant support and medical interventions Dr. Krause was willing to give me. I adore Dr. Krause and all of the office staff. I had one negative experience on my final visit with the practice (Dr. Krause was not working in the office that day) but I made my concerns known immediately and I imagine they won't make the same mistake again.
They have a wonderful team of genuinely compassionate individuals who have your best interest at heart. We will be visiting them again when it's time for baby #3. Thanks for everything Dr. Krause!

I have had a wonderful experience with all of the staff here. The front desk people, phlebotomists, medical assistants, it goes on. Dr. Devine is very conversational, and has given us a lot of reassurances and helpful information when we have needed it. I'm giving four stars because another doctor here asked me to convince him of a previous diagnosis I have.
He could have asked what led to my diagnosis. Instead it was framed as if he didn't believe me and I had to prove- again, with a diagnosis from another doctor- that I have this disease. Doctors, please start listening to your women patients about their pain and their needs! I know what I have been through. It just felt so incredibly belittling when I was simply looking for help.
The rest of the appointment went well, I received a lot of good information including some things to read later on at home. I have been to this clinic lots of times and haven't experienced anything like that first encounter again.

Dr. Krause and all of the staff members are so kind and thoughtful. I've been going here for a year now and can't imagine working with another team of specialists. Dr. Krause personally calls you to give you updates and test results to make sure you are ok and fully informed. Any time I've had to have a test done I get the lab results within a day

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Fertility & Endocrine Associates. I felt very comfortable and happy with the care and treatment I've received from both Dr. Homm and Kit Devine. Dr. Homm diagnosed my severe endometriosis and performed my laparoscopy. Following my surgery he was very open to giving my husband and I the choice on how to proceed with our fertility treatment.
He did not push IVF at all, he simply told us that he believed that was our best option. We ended up trying one round of IUI before deciding to move on to IVF. Dr. Homm was supportive of our decisions. After an unsuccessful round of IUI, we had a successful first round of IVF and I just recently found out we are expecting! I cannot thank Dr. Homm and the rest of the Fertility & Endocrine staff enough. We are truly grateful and happy with our experience there.
