Fertility Treatment Options for Female Couples
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – artificial insemination using donor sperm
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) – the fertilization of one partner’s eggs with donor sperm
IUI Procedure
- One of the partner’s monthly cycle is regulated with oral medication
- Oral fertility medications are then prescribed to stimulate multiple egg follicle production
- The growth of egg follicles are monitored through regular vaginal ultrasound imaging and blood tests
- Once the egg follicles have reached a mature stage, ovulation is induced using a trigger medication – hCG – human chorionic gonadotropin
- Ovulation triggered by hCG is timed with the insemination of a highly concentrated amount of motile donor sperm into the cervix using a very thin catheter – similar to a pap smear procedure
IVF Protocol Options:
Fertility Treatment Options for Male Couples
Gestational Surrogacy – using donor eggs to be fertilized with the sperm from one of the partners
Egg Donation – acquiring donor eggs to accomplish gestational surrogacy
Gestational surrogacy may be used to achieve a pregnancy and birth through IVF using a variety of protocols:
- Donor eggs
- Intended father’s sperm
A surrogate match is selected by the Intended Parents through an agency specializing in gestational surrogacy – New Beginnings Surrogacy
- Once the perfect surrogate match has been located, her cycle is regulated in preparation for embryo transfer timing
- In sync with the surrogate’s cycle, the donor eggs thawed and fertilized with the intended father’s sperm in vitro through an intricate procedure known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- ICSI is a procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into the donor’s eggs
- Once fertilization is achieved, the resulting embryos are monitored regularly for growth and development quality
- Only a quality embryo is transferred to the surrogate’s uterus
- Excess quality embryos can be cryopreserved for future Frozen Embryo Transfers (FET) procedures
