Treatment Option:
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Embryo Creation
What is IVF Embryo Creation?
In the intricate process of creating an embryo, an essential role is played by the embryologist at Arbor Fertility, who meticulously fertilizes one or more of the harvested eggs with sperm, either from a partner or a donor. IVF embryo creation is a sophisticated and carefully timed process, integral to the success of IVF treatments. It offers a valuable option for individuals and couples facing infertility, enabling the possibility of conceiving a child.
What’s Included
Our Comprehensive $7,500 Package Includes:
Egg Thaw
The process often begins with the thawing of previously cryopreserved eggs, delicately warming them to a viable state for fertilization.
Sperm Preparation
Sperm preparation involves selecting the highest quality sperm, improving the chances of successful fertilization and healthy embryo development.
Embryo Storage
The service includes one year of embryo storage, providing a secure and controlled environment to maintain the embryos for potential future use.
ICSI (Fertilization)
ICSI, a technique where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg, is employed to enhance fertilization rates, especially useful in cases of male infertility.
Please Note That The
Following Are Not Included
Transfer
While embryo transfer is a key step in achieving pregnancy, it's important to note that the careful placement of a developed embryo into the uterus is a distinct procedure and not included in the Embryo Creation process at Arbor Fertility.
