The development of the vitrification (i.e. ultra‑rapid freezing) technique for embryo freezing has been the most important contributing factor in terms of improving the results and safety of in vitro fertilisation over the last decade. As a result of the development of this technique, there has been a large increase in the number of frozen […]
In vitro fertilisation treatment involves the extraction of eggs from the female’s ovaries so that they can be joined together with spermatozoids in the laboratory. IVF treatment is normally recommended to patients who have already had unsuccessful outcomes following cycles of artificial insemination, possibly due to an unexplained cause of infertility or sterility, absent or […]

When IVF or egg […]

The other question, obviously, is what country and what assisted reproduction clinic to go to. It’s not an easy decision, as you not only […]
Many couples ask us when they should start looking into assisted reproduction if they want to have kids. And our response is always the same: if you haven’t conceived naturally after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse, we recommend that you visit a specialist in gynaecology. He or she will perform the necessary testing in […]
When we talk about female fertility there is a very important term that all women should be aware of during their routine gynaecological check-up: this term is ovarian reserve. We use this terminology to quantify the number of eggs a woman has at a certain time in her life. The anti-müllerian hormone, which you’ve probably […]
