When Flowers or a Tie Just Won't Do

Unique idea for his-and-hers Valentine's Day gifts that truly demonstrate couple's love

ATLANTA, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- While Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity for couples to express their love for one another, there are so many trite gifts often used to convey this important message. But one pair of unique his-and-hers gifts is a true demonstration of a couple's commitment to each other.

This Valentine's Day couples can take with each other the first step toward starting a family together. A gift certificate offered by Georgia Reproductive Specialists (GRS) in Atlanta allows the couple to receive simple tests that will answer basic questions about their fertility and, thus, their ability to have a baby.

For the man, it is a semen analysis, and for the woman, an ultrasound and blood test.

"Too many couples don't realize that infertility affects 7.3 million Americans so they don't necessarily anticipate difficulties in getting pregnant," said Dr. Mark Perloe, medical director for GRS. "But what we want to share with them is that if they are among those experiencing challenges, nearly 90 percent of all infertility issues can be successfully resolved with the proper assisted reproduction techniques.

"By taking the first step with these quick and easy tests, the couple will have the knowledge they need to begin starting a family," Dr. Perloe said.

The $250 his-and-her gift certificate is available throughout February by calling GRS at (404) 843-2229. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted. Also, gift certificates for "her" are available for $150 and "him" for $100. Each certificate is designed for personalizing. The tests can be administered at any of the three GRS locations - Atlanta, Alpharetta and Decatur.
