The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services' In Vitro Fertilization Program treats couples whose fertility has been impaired by conditions such as tubal problems, endometriosis, male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, and immunologic infertility. Our In Vitro Fertilization Program, begun in 1985, has success rates that compare favorably with the national average.

During traditional cycle IVF, we give you several medications so you will develop multiple ovarian follicles that contain mature eggs capable of fertilization. We closely monitor this process using blood tests and vaginal ultrasounds. Mature eggs are retrieved through a simple procedure under ultrasound guidance. We then expose the retrieved eggs to the sperm, and transfer the resulting embryos to your uterus 48 to 72 hours later. If sperm function is severely impaired, we can use the process of micromanipulation to inject a single sperm into your egg.
