In Vitro Fertilization

Since the inception of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), millions of babies have been born worldwide thanks to this treatment. Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) offer a range of options for couples with infertility that cannot be treated through conventional methods. Continuous advancements in these technologies have revolutionized reproductive possibilities, making it crucial to understand the processes involved to maximize the chances of success.

At Fertilite, our laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge technology and strict quality control processes, positioning us among the best in Mexico and the United States. Our KPIs reflect outstanding results, with success rates exceeding international standards at every stage of the IVF process.

Who Are Candidates for IVF?

IVF is an effective solution for various causes of infertility, and its recommendation varies depending on the individual case. Below are the most common conditions where IVF is advised:

Fallopian tube damage

If the fallopian tubes are severely damaged, IVF is the only viable option to avoid surgical intervention.

Endometriosis

IVF is a successful option when other treatments, such as surgery or medication, have not worked.

Anovulation and PCOS patients

In severe cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), IVF may be the most appropriate treatment.

Male factor infertility

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) has allowed fertilization with severely affected sperm samples, achieving pregnancies in cases previously deemed impossible.

Age-related infertility

As reproductive age advances, IVF combined with techniques such as Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) and blastocyst culture can overcome the decline in ovarian function.

Unexplained infertility

Approximately 20% of couples have no identifiable cause for their infertility. IVF has proven successful even when other treatments have failed.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technique in which the union between the egg and sperm occurs in a laboratory, outside the human body. This procedure is widely used to help couples or individuals with fertility issues achieve pregnancy. IVF is a structured process consisting of several key stages, each designed to maximize the chances of success.

Quality parameters of Fertilite laboratories

KPIs are key parameters for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory. These indicators help evaluate the performance and quality of an IVF laboratory at each stage of treatment. Our KPIs at FERTILITE are as follows:

  • Fertilization Rate: 70-80% of eggs successfully fertilized, indicating good technique and laboratory conditions.
  • Blastocyst Development Rate: 40-60% of embryos reach the blastocyst stage, reflecting an optimal culture environment.
  • Clinical Pregnancy Rate per Transfer: 45-55% in young patients, measuring the success of the treatment until pregnancy confirmation.
  • Live Birth Rate per Transfer: 40-50% for patients under 35, representing the final success of the treatment.
  • Frozen Embryo Survival Rate: 90-95%, indicating the effectiveness of embryo cryopreservation and thawing.
  • Cycle Cancellation Rate: Less than 10%, showing the effectiveness in the preparation and management of the IVF cycle.

These indicators help evaluate the performance and quality of an IVF laboratory at each stage of treatment.

Steps in an IVF Cycle

An IVF cycle consists of several key stages, all optimized in our Fertilite laboratory to ensure the best results, with continuous monitoring of performance indicators and strict quality controls at each phase of the process.

Controlled ovarian stimulation:

We use personalized ovarian stimulation protocols with the latest generation of medications to maximize egg production, thus increasing the chances of success. Our protocols are designed to minimize risks and ensure safe and effective outcomes, with a complication rate of less than 1%, as reflected in our KPI for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).

Egg retrieval:

Performed under sedation and guided by transvaginal ultrasound. At Fertilite, this procedure is carried out by specialists who minimize risks and ensure the quality of the eggs retrieved.

Sperm preparation:

If required, we can cryopreserve sperm or even obtain it through testicular biopsy, always ensuring sperm viability using advanced laboratory techniques.

Fertilization and embryo culture:

Eggs are fertilized with sperm through conventional IVF or ICSI, as necessary. In our laboratory, embryos develop in state-of-the-art culture media for 5 to 7 days, up to the blastocyst stage, allowing us to select the most viable embryos for transfer or cryopreservation. Our results show a cryopreservation success rate of over 95%, an indicator that reflects the rigorous quality control throughout the process.

Embryo transfer:

The Fertilite team of embryologists recommends transferring embryos at the blastocyst stage in most cases, as this maximizes success rates and minimizes the risk of multiple pregnancies. With a clinical pregnancy rate of 60-70% in patients with blastocyst transfers, our KPIs highlight the level of precision and care applied in every treatment.

Advanced Techniques at Fertilite

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

This technique has revolutionized the treatment of male infertility. At Fertilite, we apply ICSI not only in cases of poor sperm quality but also in situations like egg vitrification, ensuring the highest possible fertilization rate.

Assisted hatching

This technique facilitates embryo implantation by making a micropuncture in the zona pellucida, especially useful in cases of older women or previous failed IVF cycles.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

Allows for the identification of genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities in embryos before transfer. At Fertilite, we use the most advanced embryo biopsy techniques to improve the chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy.
