Fertility Clinics: Treatments for Infertile Couples (TCART).
In vitro fertilization involves removing eggs from the ovaries, fertilizing them
in the laboratory and then replacing the embryos into the uterus where they
implant and mature
IVF was originally designed to help women with blocked or absent fallopian
tubes. Today, IVF has proven successful for couples with unexplained
infertility, ovulation disorders, endometriosis and male factor problems. In
Canadian clinics, from 5188 cycles in 2001, approximately 28% of patients
undergoing IVF (or ICSI) achieved a pregnancy. This percentage is somewhat
better than a normal fertile couple trying to achieve pregnancy in any one
cycle, and significantly better for couples with unexplained sub fertility.
Furthermore, at TCART, we are striving to provide results significantly better
than this Canadian average. Please come in for an appointment to discuss our
latest statistics, and how they may apply to you.

The retrieval of immature eggs followed by the maturation of those eggs in the
laboratory has become an increasingly popular assisted reproductive technology
around the world. In Vitro Maturation involves removal a woman’s eggs from her
ovaries prior to ovulation at a time when they are not ‘mature’ - that is, not
ready to be fertilized by sperm. Once removed, the eggs are cultured in the
laboratory for a 24 hour period to prepare them for fertilization by injection
of a single sperm into each egg (intracytoplasmic sperm injection - ICSI). The
resulting embryos are used for transfer to the uterus in a fresh state or frozen
for future attempts at pregnancy.
