FAQ
IVF is a fertility treatment where eggs are retrieved from a woman's ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a lab. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the woman's uterus.
Fertility treatment refers to medical interventions aimed at assisting individuals or couples in achieving pregnancy when they are experiencing difficulties conceiving naturally.
Fertility treatments include assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), ovulation induction, egg freezing, embryo freezing, donor egg or sperm procedures, and surrogacy.
Some potential risks include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), multiple pregnancies, ectopic pregnancy, and miscarriage. However, complications are relatively rare.
The cost of IVF varies widely depending on factors such as location, clinic, medications, and additional procedures. On average, a single IVF cycle can cost several thousand dollars.
In IVF, sperm and eggs are mixed in a dish for fertilization to occur naturally. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg, which may be recommended in cases of male infertility.
A hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat issues within the uterus by inserting a thin, lighted tube (hysteroscope) through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.
ICSI is generally considered safe when performed by experienced fertility specialists. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, including damage to the egg or embryo, and a slightly increased risk of certain genetic abnormalities in offspring. Your fertility specialist will discuss these risks with you before proceeding with treatment.
During an IUI procedure, the male partner provides a semen sample, which is then processed in the laboratory to concentrate and isolate the healthiest sperm. The processed sperm is then inserted directly into the woman's uterus using a thin catheter, typically timed to coincide with ovulation.
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used in fertility treatment to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the reproductive organs, such as endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, fibroids, ovarian cysts, and tubal blockages.
PGT can help reduce the risk of transferring embryos with chromosomal abnormalities or genetic disorders, leading to higher implantation rates, reduced miscarriage rates, and increased chances of delivering a healthy baby. It can also help individuals and couples make informed decisions about their reproductive options based on genetic information.
