From Consultation to Conception: Navigating the IVF Experience

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has paved the way for countless families around the world to achieve their dreams of parenthood. For those struggling with infertility, IVF offers a beacon of hope. And if you're considering this path, there's no better place to embark on your journey than at Spring Fertility.

What is IVF?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child. The process involves the fertilization of an egg and sperm outside the body in a specialized laboratory. Once an embryo is developed, it is implanted in the uterus.

2. Diagnostic Testing: Before moving forward, a series of diagnostic tests are done to determine the cause of infertility and to plan the best treatment route. These tests may include blood tests, ultrasound scans, and other diagnostic procedures to have a better understanding of your reproductive health and fertility potential.

3. Customized Treatment Plan: At Spring Fertility, we understand that every individual is unique. Your Fertility Expert will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

4. Ovulation Stimulation: If you're undergoing IVF, medications will be prescribed to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, and those medications will be self-administered at home. Regular monitoring is done at the clinic during this phase to track the development of eggs and adjust protocol as necessary to help you achieve the best outcome possible.

5. Egg Retrieval & Fertilization: Once the eggs mature, they are retrieved in a minor surgical procedure (about 20 minutes start to finish). These eggs are then combined with your partner or donor’s sperm in the laboratory to create embryos.

6. Embryo Development & Testing: Blastocysts are closely monitored in the lab as they develop into embryos. Genetic testing can be performed to determine which embryos are chromosomally normal (preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy) and additional testing can be performed to test for specific disease-causing genetic mutations. Spring’s in-house genetic counselors are available to support you through this stage of the process.

7. Embryo Transfer: A few days after fertilization, the healthiest embryo is selected for transfer into the uterus. Any remaining embryos can be frozen until you come back to use them to grow your family in the future.

8. Follow-Up: After the embryo transfer, you'll be closely monitored by our team. This includes tests to confirm pregnancy and early ultrasound scans to check the progress, before ultimately “graduating” to your obstetrician for care throughout the rest of pregnancy.

9. Support Throughout: We know the IVF process can be emotional and challenging. Our dedicated team provides support, counseling, and guidance every step of the way. Integrative services are also available, for additional support from our in-house clinical psychologist.
