IVF is an assisted reproduction technique where fertilization occurs outside the body. Oocytes are retrieved via ovarian puncture and are fertilized with sperm in the lab. The resulting embryos are cultured and assessed, and a selected embryo is transferred to the uterus. The remaining embryos can be cryopreserved for future use, preserving fertility for social or medical reasons.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) with donated oocytes is recommended for women who face fertility challenges due to poor oocyte quality or low ovarian reserve. These challenges occur under one or more of these conditions: an advanced maternal age (43-44 years), a very low ovarian reserve, menopause, multiple previously unsuccessful IVF attempts due to embryo quality issues, and communicable genetic diseases. To minimize risks in these cases and to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy, we highly recommend using donated oocytes. Donor oocytes are fertilized in the lab, and the best embryo is transferred to the uterus, with the remaining embryos cryopreserved for future use.

For couples facing severe male infertility or for single women seeking parenthood, sperm donation offers an effective solution. It is also helpful for couples dealing with hereditary genetic conditions. Under these conditions, using donated sperm can alleviate potential frustrations and help expedite the journey to parenthood. Depending on the health condition, fertilization may be done through artificial insemination (AI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The sperm donor can be a known individual, such as a relative or friend, or an anonymous donor with the sample obtained from a sperm bank. Sperm donation is voluntary and free, in compliance with European regulations.

Cryopreservation of reproductive cells involves freezing sperm or eggs to preserve fertility. This method helps maintain fertility for social reasons or in cases where medical conditions or treatments may irreversibly affect fertility. It ensures the viability of reproductive cells for future use.

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is used in assisted reproduction to detect genetic abnormalities in embryos before implantation. PGT-A screens for chromosomal abnormalities, while PGT-M tests for specific genetic conditions. This helps select healthy embryos, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and reducing the risk of genetic disorders. It is especially useful for couples with a history of genetic disorders, repeated miscarriages, or advanced maternal age. This service can help give couples greater peace of mind and reduce physical strains on the woman by helping to avoid future unsuccessful pregnancies.

In addition to IVF, a variety of supplemental therapies and techniques can enhance the chances of success. These include medications, laboratory procedures, and interventional methods. While some have proven effective in certain scenarios, others remain experimental or controversial. A holistic approach, including nutrition, stress management, psychotherapy, and complementary therapies, aims to improve both physical and emotional balance, supporting overall fertility treatment.
