In Vitro Fertilization
An IVF "cycle" at SIRM is centered around our core philosophy that each and every patient is unique and should have a custom-tailored approach to her treatment. Accordingly, we do an in-depth review of each patient's medical and reproductive history, and create a customized protocol based on her individual needs. Above all, our goal is to empower each patient with the information she needs to make informed decisions in conjunction with her SIRM physician.
An IVF cycle at SIRM involves the following steps:
- Preparing for Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation (COH)
- Undergoing Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation
- Egg Retrieval
- Sperm Processing
- Fertilization of Eggs in the Laboratory
- Selecting the Best Embryos for Transfer
- Embryo Transfer
- (Optional) Cryopreservation (Freezing) of Remaining Embryos
