In vitro fertilization (IVF)

One of the most complete assisted reproduction techniques: we join the egg and sperm in the laboratory and transfer the embryo to the uterus.

What is IVF?

In in vitro fertilization, the egg and sperm are joined outside the body, under controlled laboratory conditions. Once the embryo forms, it is cultured for a few days and then transferred to the uterus to seek pregnancy. It is a treatment personalized to your diagnosis, your age and your medical history.

Before starting any treatment, an assessment by a health professional is required to determine whether IVF is the right option for your case.

FAQ

Common questions about IVF

How long does an IVF cycle take?

It depends on each person and the prescribed protocol. During your assessment we'll explain the estimated timelines for your specific case.

Is it painful?

Most stages are well tolerated. Egg retrieval is performed under sedation. Share any questions or discomfort with your doctor.

How many attempts are needed?

It varies from case to case. It's not possible to give a single figure valid for everyone; your specialist will assess it with you.
