In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Fertility Treatment that’s Optimized for Your Success
build your family through iVF
It was over forty years ago that the world first learned of IVF. The first child conception via IVF took place in 1978 in London. Today, IVF is one of the most common used paths to pregnancy for those struggling with infertility and who are requiring assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

what is iVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used to create an embryo by bypassing certain causes of infertility, such as mild sperm abnormalities in men, and fallopian tube or ovulation irregularity in women.
During IVF, eggs are surgically retrieved and then fertilized in a laboratory by mixing with a partner (or donor) sperm. Following an egg retrieval, In vitro fertilization (IVF) provides a controlled environment that significantly enhances the opportunity for fertilization of the egg. The fertilized egg, or embryo, is left to grow for 3-5 days and is then surgically transferred back into the woman’s uterus.
embryos grown in our state-of-the-art lab
The fertilization process is monitored microscopically typically over a five day period in our embryology lab, during which successfully fertilized eggs develop into embryos. Then, our team of embryologists carefully examines the quality of the embryos to determine which embryos will be selected for embryo transfer, cryopreservation, or possibly further culturing and development.
If you are considering in vitro fertilization and want to know if IVF may be right for you, meet the IHR team for a consultation.

Choosing the right physician
Getting pregnant and having babies should not be an impersonal experience. You can benefit in many ways when you find an infertility specialist who gets to know you and customizes a treatment plan to your individual needs and budget. You should always feel like a valuable partner in the process rather than like a number. If you are unhappy at one office, then you really should consider trying another office. Ultimately, couples who are comfortable seem to get pregnant more easily than couples with similar medical issues who have additional significant stress.
