Fertility Treatments

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Advanced assisted reproductive technology with high success rates

IVF Treatment

What is IVF?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in our state-of-the-art laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus to establish a pregnancy.

Our IVF Process

1

Ovarian Stimulation

Customized medication protocol to stimulate multiple egg development.

2

Egg Retrieval

Minimally invasive procedure performed under sedation to collect eggs.

3

Fertilization

Eggs are fertilized with sperm in our embryology laboratory.

4

Embryo Culture

Embryos are monitored as they develop for 3-5 days.

5

Embryo Transfer

Selected embryo(s) are transferred to the uterus.

6

Pregnancy Test

Blood test performed about 10-14 days after transfer.

Our IVF Advantages

Personalized stimulation protocols

Advanced embryo culture techniques

Comprehensive genetic testing options

Experienced embryology team

High success rates

Supportive care throughout the process

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Advanced treatment for male factor infertility

What is ICSI?

ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is an advanced IVF technique where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This is particularly beneficial for couples dealing with male factor infertility, including low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology.

When is ICSI Recommended?

  • Severe male factor infertility
  • Previous IVF cycles with low fertilization rates
  • Using frozen sperm with limited quantity or quality
  • Using surgically retrieved sperm (TESE, PESA)
  • Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) cases
  • Unexplained infertility with previous fertilization failure

Our ICSI Process

The ICSI process follows the same initial steps as conventional IVF (ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval). The key difference occurs in the laboratory:

  1. Eggs are prepared by removing surrounding cells
  2. Sperm sample is prepared and individual sperm selected
  3. A single sperm is immobilized and drawn into a micropipette
  4. The egg is held steady while the sperm is injected
  5. Injected eggs are monitored for fertilization
  6. Resulting embryos are cultured and transferred as with IVF

Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation)

Preserve your fertility for the future

Egg Freezing

About Egg Freezing

Egg freezing allows women to preserve their fertility by extracting, freezing, and storing eggs for future use. Our clinic uses vitrification, an advanced flash-freezing technique that results in excellent survival rates when the eggs are later thawed.

Who Can Benefit?

Medical Reasons

Prior to cancer treatment or other medical therapies that may affect fertility

Career Planning

Women who wish to delay childbearing for educational or professional goals

Personal Reasons

Women who haven't found the right partner but want to preserve their options

Genetic Factors

Those with family history of early menopause or other fertility risks

Egg Freezing Process

1-2 Weeks

Ovarian Stimulation

Daily injections to stimulate egg development, monitored with ultrasounds and bloodwork

1 Day

Egg Retrieval

Minimally invasive procedure performed under sedation

Same Day

Vitrification

Eggs are flash-frozen using advanced techniques and stored in our secure facility

Frequently Asked Questions

The optimal time is before age 35 when egg quantity and quality are higher. However, women in their late 30s can still benefit, though may need multiple cycles to preserve enough eggs.

Eggs can remain frozen indefinitely without deterioration. The longest reported time between freezing and successful use is about 14 years, but there's no biological reason they couldn't last longer.

Success rates depend on the woman's age at freezing. For women under 35 who freeze 15-20 eggs, the chance of at least one live birth is about 70-80%.

Fertility Testing

Comprehensive diagnostics to identify causes of infertility

Comprehensive Fertility Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our fertility testing evaluates all potential factors that may be affecting your ability to conceive, including ovarian reserve, fallopian tube function, uterine health, and sperm quality.

Female Fertility Tests

Hormone Testing

Blood tests to evaluate ovarian reserve (AMH, FSH, estradiol), thyroid function, and other key hormones

Ultrasound

Transvaginal ultrasound to assess ovarian follicle count and uterine structure

HSG

Hysterosalpingogram to evaluate fallopian tube patency and uterine cavity

Hysteroscopy

Minimally invasive procedure to examine the uterine cavity when needed

Male Fertility Tests

Semen Analysis

Evaluation of sperm count, motility, morphology, and other parameters

DNA Fragmentation

Assessment of sperm DNA integrity when indicated

Hormone Testing

Blood tests to evaluate testosterone and other reproductive hormones

Urology Consultation

Evaluation by a male fertility specialist when needed

Fertility Testing

Genetic Screening

Advanced testing for healthier pregnancies

Genetic Screening

About Genetic Screening

Our clinic offers comprehensive genetic screening options to identify potential genetic disorders before pregnancy occurs (carrier screening) or before embryos are transferred (preimplantation genetic testing). These advanced techniques help increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Types of Genetic Testing

Carrier Screening

Blood or saliva tests to identify if you or your partner carry genes for certain genetic conditions that could be passed to your children.

PGT-A (PGS)

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer.

PGT-M (PGD)

Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders tests for specific known genetic conditions in your family.

Who Should Consider Genetic Testing?

  • Couples with family history of genetic disorders
  • Individuals of ethnic backgrounds with higher risk for certain conditions
  • Couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Women of advanced maternal age (35+)
  • Those with previous child with genetic condition
  • Couples using donor gametes who want thorough screening
