Candidates for our services range from couples seeking initial fertility information to couples with advance fertility therapy needs. You will be monitored throughout the treatment cycle with regular blood sampling, ultrasounds and physical examinations. When the ovarian follicles reach maturity, the retrieval will be scheduled. If pregnancy does not occur during this cycle, the procedure can be safely repeated. Egg retrieval is aided by ultrasound, which allows the physician to see the ovaries during the retrieval process.
Fertilization takes place in the laboratory.
Embryo Transfer is a very simple procedure that requires no sedation or anesthesia. It involves inserting a catheter into the uterus through the cervix and placing the embryos in the uterine cavity. Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer is a technique that was developed in 1984 and has had a steadily increasing success rate nationwide. GIFT occurs during a surgical procedure known as laparoscopy. Fertilization occurs naturally inside the body, and the embryo begins its journey to the uterus for implantation.
