In vitro fertilization (IVF) at CMIB provides an effective solution for couples with fertility problems. With modern technologies, the team of gynecologists and embryologists deliver personalized treatments, careful monitoring and complete support — to make the dream of becoming parents a reality.
In vitro fertilization is an assisted reproduction technique in which a woman's egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body, in a specialized laboratory. The formed embryo is subsequently transferred to the uterus, where, if successfully implanted, it evolves into a normal pregnancy.
IVF is intended to treat infertility caused by female, male or unexplained factors, and is an effective solution when other treatments or techniques (such as intrauterine insemination) have not yielded results.
The procedure is recommended in cases of:
IVF is also indicated in case of male infertility, when there is a low concentration of spermatozoa, reduced mobility or abnormal morphology of them. In these situations, the ICSI method (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) can be used, a variant of IVF that significantly increases the chances of fertilization.
There are also cases of idiopathic infertility — when all tests are normal, but pregnancy is late to occur. In these situations, IVF can be the most effective solution for getting a pregnancy.
The patient is undergoing hormone-controlled treatment, aimed at stimulating the ovaries to produce more mature oocytes. During this stage, the doctor carefully monitors the development of follicles through ultrasound and hormonal analyzes.
When the follicles reach their optimal size, the oocytes are harvested through a minimally invasive procedure, performed under mild anesthesia. It lasts about 15—20 minutes and does not involve pain.
The harvested oocytes are united with the spermatozoa in a controlled environment. Depending on the case, the classical IVF or ICSI method can be used. The embryos obtained are cultured in the laboratory for 3—5 days, until the optimal stage for transfer is reached.
One or more selected embryos are transferred to the uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is painless and does not require anesthesia. The rest of the quality embryos can be cryopreserved (frozen) for later use.
After about 10—14 days after the transfer, the pregnancy test (beta-HCG) is performed to confirm the implantation of the embryo. In case of a positive result, the patient is referred to obstetric monitoring of pregnancy.
Technique used when spermatozoa have reduced mobility. A single sperm is injected directly into the egg, increasing the chances of fertilization.
It allows genetic analysis of embryos before transfer, to identify possible chromosomal abnormalities and select healthy embryos.
It provides the possibility of preserving oocytes or embryos for future use, useful in cases of oncological treatments, pregnancy planning or repetition of the procedure.
Recommended when partners cannot provide viable genetic material, while still providing a real chance to get a pregnancy.
The couple must follow the doctor's instructions regarding the diet, lifestyle and treatments administered. It is recommended to avoid smoking, alcohol and stress in order to maximize the chances of success.
In vitro fertilization involves an intense emotional component. That is why our clinic offers psychological support and counseling throughout the treatment, to support couples during this sensitive stage.
In the event of a positive result, the patient is closely monitored during the first weeks of pregnancy by ultrasound and hormonal analyzes, to confirm the normal development of the embryo.
If the procedure fails from the first attempt, the doctor analyzes in detail all the steps taken and adjusts the protocol for the next stage. Many couples manage to get a pregnancy on a second or third attempt.
IVF offers a concrete chance to become parents, even in cases where other treatments have not been successful.
The doctor can monitor each stage — from fertilization to implantation — increasing the chances of success and safety of the procedure.
IVF allows cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos, providing freedom and planning for the future.
Technological advances and the experience of our specialists ensure a high success rate, personalized according to the patient's age and the causes of infertility.
