In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of several techniques available to assist individuals with fertility issues in conceiving a child.
During the treatment, an egg is retrieved from the woman’s ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting.
The fertilized egg, known as an embryo, is then transferred back into the woman’s uterus to grow and develop.
This procedure can be performed using the woman’s own eggs and her partner’s sperm, or eggs and sperm from donors.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
For about half of couples experiencing conception difficulties, the root cause lies with the sperm. ICSI is a common and highly successful treatment for such cases.
Transfer of Cryopreserved Embryos (TEC)
Freezing embryos, as well as sperm and eggs, can offer many benefits. Cryopreservation is the term used for freezing tissues or cells to preserve them for future use. With current technology, we can now freeze sperm, eggs, embryos, and small tissue fragments to be used in future treatments.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
ntrauterine insemination (IUI) — a type of artificial insemination.
Sperm that has been washed and concentrated is placed directly into the uterus around the time the ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized.
The expected outcome of intrauterine insemination is for the sperm to swim into the fallopian tube and fertilize an egg, resulting in a normal pregnancy. Depending on the reasons leading the woman to seek treatment.

Fertility problems are complex with significant medical, psychosocial, demographic, and economic implications. It is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a public health problem.
WHO defines this problem as the inability of a couple to achieve pregnancy after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. In some clinical practice situations, the identification of a difficulty is immediate and obvious without the need to wait for this period of time, such as in the case of a history of oligoamenorrhea/chronic ovulation or known azoospermia.
Undoubtedly, we are talking about fecundability, that is, the monthly probability of conception, which in normal couples ranges from 20-25% up to 33-35 years of age for women, with an average waiting time of 5-6 months until pregnancy occurs. It is estimated that more than 10% of couples take more than a year to conceive.
