Couples who are having trouble conceiving may soon have a new treatment option closer to home.

Up until now, they had to travel to in vitro trivialization centers in places like Seattle, Spokane and Denver. But, Billings Clinic is now making plans to establish an in-vitro fertilization lab within the next year.

Dr. Chris Montville is a Reproductive Endocrinologist who specializes infertility treatments. He says that more women are having trouble getting pregnant because they're putting off childbearing until they're older.

But, Montville says that help is available, and it's important for couples who are having trouble to get evaluated sooner rather than later.

Coming up on Wednesday night at 7:00, Dr. Montville will speak about fertility treatment options during a free seminar at the Mary Alice Fortin Conference Center at Billings Clinic.
