IVF & Fertility

World-class fertility treatments and IVF solutions for aspiring parents.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a fertility treatment where an egg is fertilized by sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is then implanted in the uterus. It is used to help those struggling with infertility, often after simpler treatments have failed. Related fertility treatments include Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).

About IVF

What it is

A complex procedure to help with conception when natural pregnancy isn't possible.

Process
  • Mature eggs are collected from the woman's ovaries.
  • These eggs are fertilized with sperm in a lab.
  • The resulting embryo is implanted into the woman's uterus.
  • Extra embryos can be frozen for future use.
Duration

A full IVF cycle typically takes about two to three weeks.

Other Fertility Treatments

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

A less invasive method where sperm is placed directly into the uterus.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

A technique used to address male fertility issues by injecting a single sperm directly into an egg.

Egg Freezing

A way for women to preserve their fertility for the future.

IVF with Donor Eggs or Sperm

Options for when a woman is unable to produce viable eggs or a man is unable to produce viable sperm.

Considerations

  • Cost: IVF can be expensive, which is why couples often try other methods like IUI first.
  • Success: The success rate of IVF can vary and increases with advanced technology and specialized expertise.
  • Risks: There is a risk of miscarriage with IVF, but it is comparable to naturally conceived pregnancies, and the risk increases with the age of the patient, regardless of the method.
