This page is long because the answers should be. Each section walks through what the treatment is, who it's typically for, what it costs, and what to expect week to week. Skim or read in full — both are fine.
IVF is the most studied fertility treatment in the world, and the one most patients arrive at after IUI hasn't worked or after a year of trying without success. The gist: we stimulate your ovaries with daily medication, retrieve mature eggs in a 20-minute outpatient procedure, fertilize them in our lab, and transfer one healthy embryo back a few days or months later.
A typical Your Business IVF cycle takes 4 to 6 weeks from your first stimulation injection to embryo transfer. You'll come in for monitoring every other day during stimulation (about 5 visits). Egg retrieval is a 20-minute procedure under light sedation. Fertilization happens in our CAP-accredited lab. Embryos are typically transferred 5 days later, or biopsied for genetic testing and frozen for a later transfer.
IUI is the lower-intervention starting point — and for the right patient, it works beautifully. We time ovulation (often with the help of medication like letrozole or clomid), and place washed sperm directly into the uterus during a brief, painless office visit. Many insurance plans cover three to six IUI cycles before requiring IVF.
An IUI cycle takes about 2 weeks from period to procedure. You'll typically have one or two monitoring ultrasounds, take an oral medication for 5 days, and come in for a 10-minute insemination on your peak ovulation day. We'll ask you to stay on the table for ten quiet minutes afterward (no medical reason — patients just like the moment).
If you have embryos already frozen — from a prior cycle with us or transferred records from another clinic — a frozen embryo transfer is a calmer, lower-medication way to attempt pregnancy. We prepare your uterine lining over about three weeks, then transfer a single thawed embryo in a five-minute office procedure.
For patients over 35 and for any cycle involving genetic testing, modern frozen transfers have equal or better live-birth rates than fresh transfers — and they let your body recover from stimulation before pregnancy begins. About 70% of our transfers are now frozen.
For some patients — those with diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, or after multiple unsuccessful IVF cycles — donor egg is the path that ends in a baby. Our in-house donor program matches you with screened, healthy donors aged 21–32, with full medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations.
For intended parents who cannot or shouldn't carry a pregnancy themselves — due to medical history, gay male couples, or single dads — gestational surrogacy with a thoroughly screened carrier is a path to biological parenthood. We don't run an in-house agency, but we partner with three vetted ones and handle all the medical work on the IVF side.
