In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an advanced fertility treatment where eggs are retrieved and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting. IVF is recommended for various conditions including blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, advanced maternal age, endometriosis, unexplained infertility, and when other treatments have been unsuccessful.

A typical IVF cycle takes approximately 4-6 weeks. The process includes ovarian stimulation (10-14 days), egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture (3-5 days), and embryo transfer. Your treatment team will monitor you closely throughout each phase and adjust the protocol as needed for optimal results.

Pre-IVF testing typically includes hormone level assessments (AMH, FSH, estradiol), ovarian reserve testing via ultrasound, semen analysis for male partners, infectious disease screening, and genetic carrier screening. Additional tests may be recommended based on your medical history and specific circumstances.

We customize IVF protocols based on your age, ovarian reserve, hormone levels, previous treatment responses, and specific diagnosis. This individualized approach may include adjusting medication dosages, timing of procedures, and selecting the most appropriate fertilization method to maximize your chances of success.

Key factors affecting IVF success include maternal age, egg and sperm quality, embryo quality, uterine receptivity, and overall health. Lifestyle factors such as weight, smoking, and stress levels can also play a role. Our team works with you to optimize all controllable factors for the best possible outcome.
