IVF Eligibility

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment that is recommended for individuals or couples who face challenges in conceiving naturally. IVF may be considered in various situations such as in:

  1. Blocked or Damaged Fallopian Tubes: If the fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged, preventing the egg from reaching the uterus or the sperm from reaching the egg.
  2. Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, affecting fertility.
  3. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that can lead to irregular ovulation or anovulation.

  1. Low Sperm Count or Motility: When the sperm count is low or the sperm have difficulty moving, reducing the chances of fertilization.
  2. Abnormal Sperm Morphology: If a significant percentage of the sperm have abnormal shapes, affecting fertility.

In cases where the cause of infertility cannot be identified through standard diagnostic tests.

As a woman's age increases, the quality and quantity of her eggs decline, making it more challenging to conceive. IVF may be recommended for women of advanced maternal age.

Individuals or couples with a risk of passing on genetic disorders may choose IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to screen embryos for certain genetic conditions before implantation.

Couples who have experienced multiple miscarriages may consider IVF to increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.

IVF allows same-sex couples to achieve pregnancy using their own eggs and sperm or with the assistance of a sperm or egg donor.

Individuals who wish to become parents but do not have a partner may choose IVF with donor sperm or eggs.

Consultation & Preparation

A consultation with a fertility specialist is typically the first step before starting any fertility treatment, including in vitro fertilization (IVF). The consultation serves several important purposes:

The fertility specialist will take a detailed medical history from both partners. This includes information about previous pregnancies, menstrual history, surgeries, medical conditions, and lifestyle factors.

Based on the medical history, the specialist may recommend diagnostic tests to identify the cause of infertility. These tests may include blood tests, hormonal evaluations, imaging studies (ultrasound), and semen analysis for the male partner.

The fertility specialist will discuss the various treatment options available, including IVF, and explain the potential benefits, risks, and success rates associated with each option. This discussion helps individuals or couples make informed decisions about their fertility journey.

As a woman's age increases, the quality and quantity of her eggs decline, making it more challenging to conceive. IVF may be recommended for women of advanced maternal age.

Following the diagnostic evaluation, the specialist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the individual or couple. The plan may include details about medication protocols, timing of treatments, and any additional procedures that may be necessary.

The financial aspect of fertility treatment, including the cost of IVF and potential insurance coverage, will be discussed during the consultation. This helps individuals or couples understand the financial commitment involved in the chosen treatment.

The consultation provides an opportunity for individuals or couples to ask questions, express concerns, and gain a better understanding of the entire fertility treatment process.

BMI & Secondary Infertility

Delve into our BMI & Secondary Infertility section, where we shed light on BMI criteria and its relevance in fertility treatments. Understand how maintaining a healthy BMI can influence your journey towards conception.

At EHS Fertility, we understand the importance of addressing various factors that can impact fertility, and body mass index (BMI) is one of those considerations. While there may not be strict BMI criteria, maintaining a healthy weight is generally beneficial for fertility. Excess weight or being underweight can affect hormonal balance and reproductive function.

During your consultation with our fertility specialists, we will assess your overall health, including BMI, as part of the comprehensive evaluation. Our goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that optimizes your chances of success. If weight concerns are identified, our team may provide guidance on achieving a healthier BMI through lifestyle changes or, in some cases, recommend further assessments.

Our priority is to support you on your fertility journey, addressing individual needs and ensuring the best possible outcomes. If you have specific questions about BMI criteria or any other aspects of fertility treatment, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss your unique situation with our experienced team

There are two main types of PGT:

  1. Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A), is a procedure that checks for the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in embryos before the embryo transfer in IVF or ICSI.

  2. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) and Preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR): These treatments can be used by people who have a serious inherited disease in their family to avoid passing it onto their children. In these cases the specific condition is tested for in a small group of cells that are removed from each embryo (embryo biopsy).
