In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Process

Offered at our Illinois infertility clinic, in vitro fertilization, or IVF, is a highly effective treatment option for many types of infertility. Male factor infertility, premature ovarian failure, immunologic infertility, tubal blockage, and unexplained infertility are all problems that can be overcome with IVF.

ICSI and Genetic Testing with PGD

At our practice, we offer PGD genetic testing procedures, CGH, and ICSI. These advanced techniques make it possible to overcome problems that standard IVF and traditional fertility treatment methods cannot address.

Egg Donation

Our egg donation program allows women with low ovarian reserve or premature ovarian failure to become pregnant by undergoing IVF with donated eggs.

IVF Surrogacy

Our patients benefit from IVF surrogacy when they are medically unable to carry a pregnancy to term. Embryos are created from the eggs and sperm of the infertile couple, but transferred to the uterus of a gestational carrier.

Cryopreservation (Egg and Embryo Freezing)

Egg and embryo freezing (vitrification) through cryopreservation is available at our practice. Frozen gametes and embryos can be stored and then thawed for later use.

Ovulation Induction with Clomid® and Other Fertility Drugs

Fertility drugs, such as Clomid® are used for ovulation induction at our practice. These medications can increase the chances of natural conception or may be used with IUI. Injectable medications can stimulate several eggs to be collected for IVF.
