(IVF)
In Vitro Fertilization

IVF is one of the most effective fertility treatments available, offering realistic hope to individuals and couples facing reproductive challenges. This advanced procedure involves retrieving eggs, fertilizing them in a state-of-the-art embryology lab, and transferring a developing embryo into the uterus to initiate pregnancy. IVF helps overcome barriers such as ovulation disorders, low sperm count, tubal issues, and unexplained infertility. FST offers innovative techniques, including preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to screen embryos for chromosomal health, maximizing the chances of a successful pregnancy.

The IVF journey typically spans six to eight weeks and involves several key steps:

1. New Patient Consultation – Meet with our specialists to review your medical history, discuss your fertility goals, and outline your personalized treatment plan.
2. Fertility Testing – Comprehensive diagnostic tests, including bloodwork and ultrasounds, help assess reproductive health.
3. Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring – Fertility medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, closely monitored through ultrasounds and hormone testing.
4. Egg Retrieval – A minimally invasive procedure is performed under sedation to collect mature eggs.
5. Fertilization – Eggs are fertilized in our state-of-the-art lab using traditional IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
6. Embryo Monitoring & Genetic Testing – Embryos develop under the careful supervision of our embryologists, with optional genetic screening (PGT).
7. Embryo Transfer – A selected embryo is transferred into the uterus, followed by a two-week wait to determine pregnancy success.
