 North Carolina Infertility Specialists
IVF creates an environment which allows for maximal interaction between as many eggs and sperm as possible. Multiple embryos are produced during IVF, the best of
which can then be transferred directly into the uterus under highly optimized conditions. For a woman to conceive with IVF, she needs healthy eggs, appropriate numbers of sperm from her partner, or donor, and a normal uterus. Under these optimal conditions, IVF yields the highest pregnancy rates available. If you are trying to conceive, then in vitro fertilization is an effective method to help you get pregnant.
Causes of infertility vary. However, male factors are often present. Therefore, an accurate semen analysis is one of the most important initial steps in a couple’s fertility evaluation. A sperm DNA fragmentation test may provide useful information regarding the need to do in vitro fertilization over insemination. Men can collect their ejaculates for analysis at home in a provided sterile container (live within 20 to 30 minutes from office) or in one of our private discreet collection rooms. The results of our analysis can be usually called or faxed to you the day of your visit. Carolina Conceptions works closely with you and your physician to ensure that you receive the full range of diagnostic and treatment options available to optimize male fertility. With our help, male infertility will not keep you from getting pregnant.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves a sequence of events, including the administration and monitoring of medications which stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs; the egg retrieval, fertilization and laboratory culture of these fertilized eggs (embryos); and the growth and transfer of embryos into the uterus. IVF creates an environment, which allows for maximal interaction between as many eggs and sperm as possible, and fosters the creation of multiple embryos, which can then be introduced directly into the uterus under highly optimized conditions.
Once you decide to get started with IVF , you should undergo a consultation with Dr. Couchman or Dr. Meyer, confirm financial arrangements and obtain a password to view an IVF teaching class on-line, or schedule a class with our nurse coordinator. Details of each phase of the process will be discussed, including administration of medication; ultrasound and blood testing; the actual procedures of egg retrieval and embryo transfer; and post-transfer strategies. An injection lesson will be given at the orientation visit, so whoever will give the injections should attend. Specific, individualized dosing instructions about your medication will be reviewed. If you have questions after attending the class or reading this information, please do not hesitate to call us. You will have one final visit with your physician prior to starting your cycle to answer any final questions including possible need for intrcytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), questions about consents and discussion of embryo transfer and need for freezing of extra embryos.
