ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection)
ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is primarily used to treat male factor infertility. For males who have just a few, barely swimming sperm in the ejaculate to males who ejaculate no sperm, the ICSI procedure can be used to directly inject the sperm into the egg.Read More...
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
PGD is a procedure in which one of the cells (blastomere) of the embryo is removed for genetic analysis three days after egg retrieval to identify genetically abnormal embryos. By not transferring abnormal embryos, this procedure may reduce the chance of miscarriage, or when done to identify specific genetic disorders, may prevent the need for termination of pregnancy or the birth of a baby with a serious genetic disease.Read More...
Egg Freezing
Many of us focus first on our education and careers due to societal changes, and this has resulted in a delay of childbearing. For many women, this has also lead to a delay in finding a partner. As a result, the number of individuals and couples with infertility continues to rise.Read More...
Assisted Hatching
Assisted hatching was developed in response to this theory that some women may fail multiple cycles of standard IVF because their eggs have a thicker shell. By creating a minor defect in the zona (shell) the result is a greater chance of the embryo "hatching," or shedding its shell, allowing for a better chance of implantation in the endometrium.Read More...
Blastocyst Transfer
By culturing these embryos for an additional 2 to 3 days, more chromosomally normal embryos will be selected out naturally and develop to the blastocyst (5-day-old) stage in the laboratory. Usually, only the best embryos have the ability to grow to the blastocyst stage and the pregnancy rate per blastocyst transferred is better than 3-day-old embryos.Read More...
Fertility Preservation
More than ever, cancer patients are surviving their disease and can look forward to the future. The ability to have children and build a family is known to be important to cancer survivors.Read More...
Male Infertility
Statistics show up to 50% of infertility problems among couples trying to conceive can be traced to male medical conditions. Problems of the male reproductive system range from issues with sperm production to obstruction of sperm delivery. Our urologist and male infertility specialist, Dr. T. Mike Hsieh, identifies the cause of male infertility and offers individualized treatment that is best for the couple.Read More...
