Kentucky Fertility and Andrology, PLLC is located at 141 N Eagle Creek Drive in Lexington, Kentucky — within the east Lexington medical corridor that serves patients from throughout the Bluegrass region. The practice is affiliated with the Andrology Institute of America (andrologyinstituteofamerica.net) and distinguishes itself through a dual focus: comprehensive fertility care for individuals and couples alongside specialized male reproductive medicine (andrology). For patients searching fertility clinics in Kentucky, this Lexington practice offers a depth of male-factor expertise that is relatively rare outside major academic medical centers. The practice is a separate clinical entity from Kentucky Fertility Associates in Louisville, which serves the Louisville metropolitan area.
Physicians and Clinical Team
The defining characteristic of Kentucky Fertility and Andrology is its integration of reproductive endocrinology and andrology — the subspecialty focused on the male reproductive system. While most fertility clinics treat male-factor infertility by ordering a semen analysis and referring out for urological care, this practice is structured to deliver both disciplines under one roof.
The clinical team includes fellowship-trained specialists in reproductive endocrinology and infertility as well as andrologists or urologists with subspecialty expertise in male reproductive health. This co-located model benefits couples where both partners need evaluation and treatment: the female partner works with the reproductive endocrinologist on cycle management, while the male partner receives targeted treatment for issues such as low sperm count, abnormal sperm morphology or motility, varicocele, hormonal imbalance, or obstructive azoospermia.
The staff at the Eagle Creek location are familiar with the particular dynamics of infertility evaluation — the uncertainty, the emotional strain, and the logistical burden of recurring clinic visits. Reviews from Lexington-area patients point to attentive nursing staff and a practice culture that treats couples rather than just one partner.
Services and Treatments
Kentucky Fertility and Andrology provides a full spectrum of fertility and male reproductive services:
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) — with individualized controlled ovarian stimulation and embryo culture
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) — particularly relevant for patients with severe male-factor infertility or prior fertilization failure
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) — a lower-intensity first-line treatment for eligible diagnoses
- Ovulation Induction — monitored cycles using oral or injectable medications
- Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) — aneuploidy screening before embryo transfer
- Egg Freezing — elective fertility preservation and medically indicated preservation before cancer treatment
- Male Infertility Diagnosis and Treatment — comprehensive semen analysis, sperm DNA fragmentation testing, hormonal evaluation (FSH, LH, testosterone), and treatment for hypogonadism, varicocele, and other conditions
- Surgical Sperm Retrieval — including testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA) for men with azoospermia
- Semen Cryopreservation — for banking prior to cancer treatment, vasectomy, or before beginning a treatment cycle
- Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Evaluation — immunological and genetic investigation for couples with repeated miscarriages
- Donor Sperm Insemination — for individuals and couples using a sperm bank
- Fertility Preservation for Cancer Patients — urgent, prioritized protocols for oncology patients
Laboratory and Success Rates
The andrology laboratory handles semen analysis, sperm preparation for IUI and IVF, and cryopreservation. The embryology laboratory manages egg retrieval, ICSI fertilization, embryo culture, blastocyst development, PGT biopsy, and vitrification. Both labs require strict quality control standards to achieve consistent outcomes — and the practice's andrology focus suggests particular investment in sperm processing protocols.
Patients should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
Lexington is home to the University of Kentucky Medical Center, and its east side medical corridor attracts practices that serve patients from the city and from surrounding Kentucky counties. The Eagle Creek Drive address is accessible from major Lexington thoroughfares and is well-suited to patients commuting from outside the city.
For couples dealing with male-factor infertility — one of the most common yet frequently under-addressed causes of infertility — the andrology-integrated model at this practice means fewer separate referrals and a more coordinated treatment approach. Male patients often find it easier to engage with a practice that treats their role in treatment as equal in importance to the female partner's, which can reduce the psychological barrier to seeking evaluation.
The practice environment reflects the specialized focus: staff at an andrology-integrated clinic tend to handle conversations about male reproductive health with directness and without the dismissiveness that male patients sometimes encounter in general fertility settings.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Kentucky has no state mandate requiring health insurers to cover IVF or fertility treatment. Patients in Lexington typically pay out of pocket for IVF, ICSI, surgical sperm retrieval, and PGT unless their employer-sponsored plan includes a specific fertility benefit.
Because the practice treats both partners, patients should request a bundled cost estimate covering both the fertility and andrology components of care — understanding the full financial picture early prevents surprises mid-cycle. Some large Kentucky employers and self-insured ERISA plans do include fertility coverage even without a state mandate; patients should verify their specific plan benefits before assuming full out-of-pocket cost. The practice's financial team can assist with benefit verification and financing options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this practice different from a general OB-GYN or fertility clinic that offers semen analysis? The integration of andrology — meaning specialists specifically focused on male reproductive medicine, not just a basic semen analysis ordered by an OB — means male-factor cases receive the same depth of evaluation and treatment as female-factor cases. For couples where male-factor infertility is confirmed or suspected, this depth of expertise translates to more precise diagnoses and more targeted treatment, including surgical sperm retrieval options that many fertility-only practices cannot offer in-house.
How is this Lexington practice different from Kentucky Fertility Associates in Louisville? Kentucky Fertility Associates is a separate practice in Louisville serving the Louisville metropolitan area. Kentucky Fertility and Andrology at 141 N Eagle Creek Dr is a distinct PLLC in Lexington, affiliated with the Andrology Institute of America, with a particular focus on the andrology dimension of fertility care.
Is a semen analysis required before a first consultation? Many practices recommend or require a semen analysis early in the workup for any couple. Given this practice's andrology focus, a baseline male evaluation is often prioritized — particularly if the couple has been trying for some time or if there is a known male-factor concern.
Does the practice offer treatment for men with azoospermia? Azoospermia — the absence of sperm in ejaculate — is one of the conditions that may benefit most from an andrology-integrated fertility practice. The physicians can evaluate whether azoospermia is obstructive (treatable with surgical sperm retrieval and ICSI) or non-obstructive (which may require hormonal treatment or donor sperm). This diagnostic distinction requires andrology expertise that is available at this practice.
