Frequently Asked Questions
IVF FAQs
IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used to help individuals or couples conceive a child. It involves combining eggs and sperm in a lab dish to create embryos, which are then transferred into the uterus. IVF can be used for a range of fertility issues, including infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, or unexplained reasons.
Yes, we do! We offer a surrogacy program and sperm donation services to help you grow your family.
As with any medical procedure, there may be some minor risks. Our team takes every precaution to minimize risks and will discuss any potential side effects with you.
Success rates for fertility treatments depend on several factors, including a patient’s age, and underlying fertility conditions. On average, women under 35 may have a 40–50% chance of success per IVF cycle. However, advanced techniques like Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and our Oocyte Rejuvenation Program can significantly improve outcomes particularly in complex or previously unsuccessful cases by addressing specific fertilization and egg quality challenges.
Yes, most IVF cycles require daily hormone injections to stimulate the ovaries and encourage the development of multiple eggs. Our team will guide you every step of the way either by teaching you how to self-administer the injections or by administering them for you at the clinic.
IVF involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab dish and transferring resulting embryos into the uterus, while IUI involves placing washed sperm directly into the uterus. IVF is more invasive and expensive but may have higher success rates, while IUI is less invasive and less expensive but may have lower success rates for certain fertility issues.
Treatment FAQs
Some procedures may involve mild discomfort, such as hormone injections or egg retrieval, but they are generally well-tolerated. We ensure your comfort at every step with professional guidance and support.
Yes, we do assist with shipping frozen eggs/sperm/embryos around the world. Feel free to contact us if you have more questions.
Yes, we do. You can navigate to our Sperm Donor page for more information!
Yes, we do. Egg donation is a process in which a woman donates her eggs to another person or couple who are unable to conceive on their own. The eggs are retrieved from the donor’s ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a lab dish to create embryos that can be implanted in the intended mother’s uterus or that of a gestational surrogate. Egg donation can be a solution for women who have fertility issues or who have had their ovaries removed, as well as same-sex male couples and single men who want to have a biological child.
Gestational surrogacy is a type of surrogacy in which a woman (the surrogate) carries and delivers a baby for another person or couple (the intended parents) using an embryo created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) using the intended mother’s or a donor’s egg and the intended father’s or a donor’s sperm. The surrogate is not genetically related to the baby and carries the pregnancy on behalf of the intended parents.
Testing embryos created through IVF for genetic disorders (PGD), the sex of the embryos can be determined, and embryos of the desired sex can be transferred to the uterus for implantation.
Yes, we do. PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) is a technique used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) to test embryos for sex and genetic abnormalities before they are implanted in the uterus. PGD involves removing one or more cells from an embryo and analyzing the genetic material to detect any inherited genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities. This allows doctors to select embryos that are free of genetic defects and have the best chance of resulting in a healthy pregnancy and baby. PGD is typically used for couples who are carriers of genetic diseases or who have a history of genetic disorders in their families.
