We recognize that every person that visits us brings with them a unique set of circumstances. Some have been struggling with infertility for years while others are new to this reality and don’t know where or how to begin.
We are committed to offering a spectrum of treatments to allow for a fertility blueprint individual to each person. As a result of our innovative fertility options, we are proud to offer family building solutions for all, regardless of status, age or discouraging past diagnoses. What this means is there are no hopeless cases here
Our IVF specialists understand that every person’s path to fertility is completely unique and carefully review all medical history and testing results. Your consultation can be set in person, with us at our clinic, or at a distance if easier for you.
A complete analysis of your case is provided, as well as a clear and defined fertility map on how to reach pregnancy quickly and successfully. Both male and female components are evaluated for the most comprehensive assessment possible.
During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to have all of your questions answered and to participate in developing a plan for an in depth evaluation and/or treatment. Your initial visit may include a pelvic ultrasound to assess uterine health. Any additional testing can be completed within a month (or one menstrual cycle) of an initial consult.
A fertility assessment for male or female patents or couples may include:
Evaluation of ovulation and the hormonal assessment of oocyte / quality
Sperm quality and a full anaysis of all sperm components
Examination of the fallopian tubes
Evaluation of the uterus
It’s important to rule out general physical problems, as well as evaluating the uterus and ovaries through a combined physical examination and an internal ultrasound. Depending on your situation, you may be asked to schedule this test for a certain time during your menstrual cycle.
This involves the assessment of specific hormone levels during the menstrual cycle, in order to recognize female fertility such as FSH , LH , AMH.
This commonly involves listening to your heart and lungs, along with a brief pelvic examination.
Our specialist uses a thin, flexible tube, with a camera on the end, and inserts it through the cervix and up into the uterine cavity. Tissue samples can be taken, and photographs of the inside of the uterine cavity to allow us to view any defects present, such as: Endometrial Polyps, Adhesions, or Fibroids. Minor defects, can typically be removed at the time of the procedure. Larger defects, such as fibroids, may require a more extensive surgical procedure to remove at a later time.
Is a test used for investigating the cavity of the uterus and the fallopian tubes to see if an egg can travel with ease. If either the cavity or the tubes are damaged, it may be difficult to become pregnant. It is not possible to see the patency of the tubes with ultrasound alone; a specialized catheter is passed into the uterus through the cervix. Under ultrasound control, a small amount of fluid is passed into the uterus. If tubes are open, the fluid will be seen passing through the tubes on the ultrasound screen.
This procedure is painless compared to traditional hysterosalpingography and does not involve x-ray imaging.
Is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a laparoscope (a fiber-optic tube with light and video camera) inserted through two or more minor incisions, often in the belly button. This allows for viewing of the pelvic reproductive organs and the pelvic cavity assisting in the detection of endometriosis, adhesions and tubal pathologies.
Viscosity (resistance to flow)
Motility (movement of the sperm)
Count (number of sperm)
Morphology (Structure or shape of the sperm)
Volume of semen
The assessment of sperm is essential as this step ensures accurate treatment design in order to target low sperm quality or number and increase the chance of success.
In some cases, a physical examination may be requested to evaluate the pelvic organs — the penis, testes, prostate and scrotum.
Hormone tests evaluate levels of testosterone and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) to determine the overall balance of the hormonal system and specific state of sperm production. Additional hormone evaluation may be requested according to the individual.
The integrity of genetic material in the sperm is essential for successful fertilisation and normal embryo development. Sperm DNA fragmentation is a term used to describe abnormal genetic material within the sperm, which in turn may lead to IVF failure and miscarriage. A conventional semen analysis done for sperm concentration, motility analysis and morphology assessment cannot assess the sperm at the molecular level and detect DNA fragmentation.
High sperm DNA fragmentation affects blastocyst development
Higher the DNA fragmentation levels, higher the chances of failed IVF and miscarriage
Sperm DNA fragmentation is higher in subfertile men with abnormal sperm parameters
Men with normal sperm parameters are also found to have high sperm DNA fragmentation
