How To Decide Amongst the Infertility Treatment Options
Deciding among the best infertility treatment option for your individual needs will be a team effort between you and your fertility doctor. The best infertility treatment option will be one increasing the chances of creating a quality embryo to successfully embed into your uterine lining and naturally develop into a fetus and healthy newborn baby.
Infertility Treatment Options
The first treatment options for women under 35 with unexplained infertility is typically Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). IUI is a simple and cost-effective procedure in which a highly concentrated amount of sperm is inserted into the woman’s uterus via catheter at the time she is ovulating.For women having failed numerous IUI treatments – or having blocked fallopian tubes, IVF is the recommended treatment option.In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment options involve 5 traditional steps with a varied protocol addressing each patient’s individualized needs.
- Ovarian follicle development through fertility medications
- Removal of the eggs through a surgical egg retrieval procedure
- Fertilization of the eggs with sperm in a laboratory setting – In Vitro
- Embryo culture allowing the fertilized eggs to grow and develop into embryos
- Placement of the embryos into the woman’s uterus – Embryo Transfer
Variations of traditional IVF protocol include:
- Natural IVF – no fertility drugs are administered
- Minimal Stimulation IVF – low doses of fertility drugs are administered
- Donor Eggs through IVF1 Match
There are several ancillary procedures to the traditional IVF protocol.
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- Assisted Hatching (AH)
