Patient TestimonialsIn Vitro Fertilization
This technique consists in obtaining eggs, fertilizing them in the lab with sperm and then transferring the embryos to the uterus.
PGD
It is now possible to evaluate the chromosomal and genetic features of embryonic cells in their very first stages.
Artificial Insemination
This procedure consists in placing sperm directly in the woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization.
On the day the woman is ovulating, the man is asked to give a semen sample. At the CER lab, the best sperm is selected and concentrated in a small volume.
Using a cannula, the sperms are inserted directly into the woman’s uterus one or two hours after receiving the sample. Sometimes, the woman is given a minor hormonal treatment beforehand to improve the chances of success.
In order to determine whether the sperm and egg have joined (fertilization) and track the subsequent development of the pregnancy, different tests are done. The effectiveness of this technique ranges from 15-20 percent in each attempt. The chance of having twins is also quite high.
If the woman does not get pregnant after three or four attempts at artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization is recommended.
