IVF TREATMENT

WHAT IS IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION (IVF)

IVF stands for In-vitro Fertilization. It is a process where eggs are retrieved from ovaries and combined with sperm in a culture dish in a lab. Eggs that fertilize become embryos and are transferred to the uterus. If the embryo grows and develops in your uterus, you will take your baby home nine months later. There are many different IVF ovarian stimulation protocols. Unlike many fertility centers that mainly offer conventional IVF, we specialize in mild IVF and natural IVF, as well as conventional IVF.

Which IVF treatment protocol is right for you?​

The goal of ovarian stimulation is to retrieve the maximum number of good quality eggs safely. Choosing ovarian stimulation protocol is based on the woman’ age, Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels, basal follicle count, health status, previous IVF treatment history, and family building goals.

 

For examples, for PCOS or young women who have many follicles on their ovaries, using a gentle stimulation protocol, reducing dose of gonadotropins, and having frequent monitoring may lower the risk of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. For advanced age women who have diminished ovarian reserve, treatment should be individualized in all steps of ART, including the choice of GnRH analogue, the gonadotropin type and dose, and the possible use of adjuvant therapies.

1. We choose the best treatment protocol tailored to you. Our goal is to help you achieve as many high-quality eggs as possible while avoid unnecessary medication and treatment, thus saving your expenses. This involves a thorough evaluation of your fertility potential, prescriptions of a series of oral medication or injections, performing office ultrasound, and lab testing to monitor your egg growth until they are ready for retrieval.

2. We collect the eggs from your ovaries by a simple egg retrieval procedure. We use a much smaller needle than other fertility centers during retrieval, resulting in a safter and less painful experience. Local anesthesia is typically adequate, and most women can walk out and drive home after procedure. If you need or wish to use IV sedation, it is available.

3. On the same day of retrieval, your partner collects semen in our office. Our laboratory will prepare the sample, enrich the most viable sperm and combine the sperm with your egg.

4. If the eggs fertilize, they become embryos and we grow them for 5-7 days to the blastocyst stage. Our goal is to create as many high-quality embryos as possible. Our state-of-the-art IVF laboratory, highly experienced expert scientists and embryologists provide you with the highest possible chance of success.

5. We choose the best quality embryo and transfer the embryo to your uterus. Genetic testing of the embryo may be recommended case by case.

6. The transfer can be performed 3 or 5 days after egg retrieval (fresh transfer) or in another cycle (frozen transfer). If you have surplus embryos after the fresh transfer, we will freeze them for you to use in the future. We will choose the right timing and transfer protocol that is tailored to your situation. We will get you to do a blood test to see if you are pregnant 9-11 days after embryo transfer.
