IVF in San Antonio TX is the union of egg and sperm in order to obtain fertilized embryos that are transferred to the womb. Fertilization of eggs can be accomplished by conventional IVF techniques or through Intra-cytoplasmic Ejaculate Injection (ICSI). Deciding on which one is best for you takes a little thought on your part and that of the doctor. If you and your partner cannot use these methods effectively, you can talk about using donor ejaculate.
In vitro fertilization with spermatozoa from your partner is indicated for:
* Patients in whom more simple preliminary treatments, such as Artificial Insemination, have failed.
* Women with absent tubes or an injury in the tubes, which is needed for natural fertilization or artificial insemination. Women with advanced endometriosis will likely see an impact on the tubes and egg quality.
* Situations in which you have a limited number of oocytes.
* Cases of severe male testicular trauma.

Over 95% of patients who undergo IVF in San Antonio TX recommend it to others because it offers personalized attention and support in all phases of treatment. You can see the process below.
Ovarian stimulation. Ovarian stimulation involves the administration of daily injections to get the ovaries to spontaneously produce a greater number of new oocytes. When an appropriate size and number of eggs are available, a follicular puncture is programmed about 36 hours after an hCG injection. This will induce oocyte maturation similar to the natural cycle.
The fertilization of eggs is next. The couple will proceed to inseminate the eggs. The resulting embryos after fertilization are observed in the laboratory day after day and are classified according to their morphology and ability to divide. Some embryos become blocked in its development, and will be discarded as non-viable.
The transfer involves inserting the best embryos into the womb with the help of a cannula especially designed for this procedure. The procedure is performed in the operating room, but in no way will the patient need to be sedated, as it is a quick and painless process. Contact Fertility Texas to learn more.
