Intra Uterine Insemination

Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple, less invasive technique in which the husband or donor sperm is placed in the womb using a catheter. IUI is indicated for the treatment of low sperm count or unexplained infertility.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Embryo Transfer

In Vitro Fertilization with Embryo Transfer (IVF) is a procedure that involves retrieving the eggs from the wife after sufficient medication to stimulate the ovaries to develop as many follicles. The eggs are fertilized in the dish using husband's sperm.

Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is used to treat couples who previously had failure in achieving conception due to the male partner's extremely low number of normal sperm or with unexplained infertility.
For women experiencing failure of their ovarian function and women over age of 40 with poor quality eggs, the use of donated eggs from their sister or another female may be the best option to achieve conception. Our semen bank provides donor sperm for use in IUI and IVF when the husband has no sperm or if he has genetic disorders, with prior consent.

Assisted hatching: is a process to assist the embryos to remove the zona pellucida (ZP) in order to attach to the uterine endometrium for further development.
