In vitro fertilization (IVF) with updated clinical judgment
Dr. Eunice ZavalaIn vitro fertilization is a high-complexity assisted reproduction technique that enables pregnancy when natural conception is difficult. It consists of joining egg and sperm in a specialized laboratory and subsequent embryo transfer to the uterus.
Book an IVF assessmentWhat is IVF and when is it considered?
It is an alternative when less complex strategies have not worked or when the initial diagnosis shows factors that are unlikely to resolve without lab fertilization: tubal obstruction, severe male factor, low ovarian reserve, advanced reproductive age, endometriosis or previous failed cycles of lower complexity.
Process stages
The protocol adapts to each patient, generally following these stages:
- Prior studies (hormonal, infectious, ultrasound and seminal analysis) to confirm viability and plan the protocol.
- Controlled ovarian stimulation with medication and serial monitoring by ultrasound and lab.
- Oocyte retrieval (follicular aspiration) in the OR, under sedation, once optimal follicle development is achieved.
- Lab fertilization (IVF or ICSI) and embryo culture for 3 to 5 days up to the blastocyst stage.
- Embryo transfer to the uterus and luteal phase support; pregnancy test about 12 days later.
Integral support
Each step is explained with time and without pressure. Decisions on the number of embryos to transfer, cryopreservation, IVF with serologies or with medications included, and even two-attempt packages, are built with you based on clinical diagnosis, age and reproductive goals.
Options that may be part of your IVF protocol
Within the IVF route, some patients require specific variants or packages depending on prior studies, medication scheme and cycle planning.
IVF including the prior serologic studies needed to ensure optimal conditions at every stage of the treatment.
IVF with the ovarian stimulation protocol medications and luteal phase support already included in the package.
Two-cycle IVF package with continuous clinical follow-up and planning adjusted between attempts.
Most common IVF questions
Daily injections during stimulation can cause mild discomfort; oocyte retrieval is performed under sedation and most patients return to their routine the next day. Embryo transfer is outpatient and usually feels similar to a colposcopy.
