The meaning behind FINA

In Hebrew, the name FINA means โ€œHe shall addโ€. That is exactly what we are about at Fertility Institute of North Alabama (FINA).
Dr. Davenport and his staff will use the most current resources, scientific knowledge, and technology available to make sure that you optimize your chances of a successful pregnancy.
Ultimately we believe that it is God that will add to any family, and can confidently give thanks for every pregnancy in which we are privileged to assist.

Another FINA story…๐Ÿ’•

Hearing patient experiences like this make us so incredibly happy. We love what we do!โค
“The whole staff at FINA is amazing! Tarryn, Abby, Bree, Kendra, and Dr. D are the best combination of people to work with.
Dr. D tailored our treatments toward what worked best for us as a couple after going through 4 early miscarriages. Kendra was primarily over our treatment plan after a positive pregnancy test, and her and Tarryn were just as excited as we were when we finally got to graduate from FINA!
We will forever be grateful to this amazing fertility family, and FINA will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

Hear one patient’s #FINA story.๐Ÿ’•

“If we could give 10 stars we would. Dr. D and his entire staff were heaven sent. The nurses are the best at what they do. Theyโ€™re very personable and compassionate. Kendra, Tarryn and Abby are gems and they really made me comfortable every time I came into the office. Theyโ€™re always so sweet and positive. They explained everything that was going on with me very thoroughly. I always looked forward to my visits with them.
ย 
My last visit was bittersweet and I can truly say Iโ€™ll miss this wonderful group of people. We received great news that weโ€™re pregnant and expecting in June of 2022. Thank you FINA for all youโ€™ve done to help make our dreams of being parents come true. Weโ€™re truly grateful for you all. God bless!”โค

Cancer and Cryopreservation

Cancer and Cryopreservation…
Why should a woman or a man with cancer consider this?
A woman is born with all of the eggs that she will ever have, averaging 300,000 remaining eggs when she starts puberty. Certain types of chemotherapy and/or radiation localized to the pelvic region can kill or damage some or all of the eggs in the ovary. Therefore, it is often prudent to cryopreserve (freeze) eggs or embryos prior to undergoing these potentially harmful therapies in order to preserve a womanโ€™s future ability to conceive and become pregnant.
A male produces sperm in his testes on a continual basis. Once produced, the sperm goes through 2-3 months of transport where it gains maturity and functionality. Certain types of chemotherapy and/or radiation localized to the pelvic region can damage the ability of the testes to produce and/or transport healthy sperm. Therefore, it is often prudent to cryopreserve (freeze) sperm prior to undergoing these potentially harmful therapies in order to preserve oneโ€™s future ability to conceive.
Since time is often of the essence with our oncology patients, these are top priority on FINAโ€™s schedule. FINA works closely with your oncology team to consult with every patient desiring a consultation within 1-3 days of initial request.
You can schedule your initial consultation to discuss your current cancer treatment plan and the options available to you by calling us at 256-217-9613 or by visiting our website. โค
