Your Path to Motherhood
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a highly complex assisted reproduction technique designed to help couples who have difficulty conceiving or single women who want to become mothers. This procedure can be the solution when other options have not been successful.
How does IVF work?
IVF involves the fertilization of an egg outside the woman's body, in a specialized laboratory. The embryo formed is then introduced into the woman's uterus, seeking to achieve pregnancy. The success of the process depends on factors such as the woman's age and the quality of the sperm used.
What does the procedure include?
-
Initial assessment
Comprehensive review of the health status of the woman and the couple, including sperm quality and general reproductive health.
-
Ovarian stimulation
Hormones are administered to stimulate the ovaries and obtain several mature eggs.
-
Obtaining eggs and sperm
The eggs are extracted and the semen sample is prepared.
-
Fertilization in the laboratory
The eggs are fertilized in the laboratory, and the resulting embryos are monitored to select the most suitable one.
-
Embryo transfer
A selected embryo is introduced into the woman's uterus in order to achieve implantation and pregnancy.
-
Post-procedure follow-up
Close monitoring is carried out to verify the progress of the pregnancy.
