Initial Infertility Evaluation
Dr. Alexander can review cycle history, medical history, prior pregnancies, symptoms, timing, and possible contributing factors.
Fertility & IVF Coordination
Hopeful, Coordinated Fertility Care
When pregnancy is not happening as expected, Women First Morgantown helps patients begin with compassionate evaluation, local testing, and a clear plan for next steps.
A Collaborative Approach
Your Care Begins Close to Home
Fertility questions can feel emotional, frustrating, and overwhelming. At Women First Morgantown, Dr. Allison Alexander helps patients begin with a thoughtful infertility evaluation, careful listening, and appropriate testing before advanced fertility treatment is considered.
For patients who may benefit from advanced reproductive care, Women First works collaboratively with Dr. Mehmet Tamer Yalcinkaya and Carolinas Fertility Institute. This collaboration helps patients complete recommended pre-work and testing locally whenever appropriate, while staying connected to a trusted OB/GYN team in Morgantown.
Not simply a referral
Women First helps coordinate the front-end evaluation, performs requested tests when appropriate, communicates results, and supports patients throughout the fertility process.
Local Pre-Work & Testing
When testing is requested by Dr. Yalcinkaya or Carolinas Fertility Institute, Women First can help complete appropriate labs, imaging coordination, and other pre-treatment steps locally.
Clear Next Steps
Patients receive guidance about when advanced fertility care may be helpful, including consultation for IUI, IVF, recurrent pregnancy loss, or other reproductive endocrinology concerns.
Our Fertility Collaboration
Working With Dr. Mehmet Tamer Yalcinkaya
Dr. Mehmet Tamer Yalcinkaya is a reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist and the founder of Carolinas Fertility Institute. His official practice biography notes his long experience in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, his fellowship training at the University of California at San Francisco, and his previous leadership roles, including starting two IVF programs at West Virginia University Health Sciences in Charleston and serving as Director of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Wake Forest Baptist Health.
Women First is proud to help patients coordinate care with Dr. Yalcinkaya and his team when advanced fertility treatment is the right next step.
Independent specialist partnership
Dr. Yalcinkaya and Carolinas Fertility Institute are independent from Women First Morgantown. Our role is to collaborate, coordinate testing and records, and support patients before, during, and after advanced fertility care.

Common Questions
Fertility & IVF Questions
When should I ask about fertility testing?
Many patients ask after trying to conceive without success, after irregular cycles, after pregnancy losses, or when they already know about a condition such as PCOS or endometriosis. Dr. Alexander can help decide what evaluation is appropriate.
Will Women First stay involved?
Yes. Women First helps with evaluation, testing, records coordination, and ongoing OB/GYN support. If advanced treatment is needed, your care can be coordinated with Dr. Yalcinkaya and Carolinas Fertility Institute.
Can some testing be done locally?
Often, yes. When Dr. Yalcinkaya requests pre-work or testing that Women First can appropriately perform or coordinate, the office helps patients complete those steps close to home.
Is IVF always the next step?
No. Fertility care depends on the cause, history, age, testing results, and patient goals. Some patients need basic evaluation, some need medication or IUI, and some benefit from IVF consultation.
