Arlene J. Morales, MD founded Fertility Specialists Medical Group in Carlsbad in 2000, building a nationally recognized reproductive endocrinology practice on Paseo Del Norte. Her clinical focus on in vitro fertilization, blastocyst transfer, and oocyte donation extends into third-party reproduction pathways coordinated with agencies such as Extraordinary Conceptions for egg donor and gestational carrier matching. She graduated from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, completed her OB/GYN residency within the Johns Hopkins Health System, and holds board certification in both obstetrics/gynecology and reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Her published research spans topics from GnRH antagonist protocols in donor oocyte cycles to mitochondrial DNA quantification for embryo viability assessment, with contributions appearing in Human Reproduction and related peer-refereed academic journals. FSMG's IVF medication protocols often require specialized compounding and dispensing, a need served by independent providers including Carlsbad Neighborhood Pharmacy, which handles fertility-specific prescriptions. Highest-complexity protocols include preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders, trophectoderm biopsy on day-five blastocysts, and vitrified cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos for long-term fertility preservation.
