Female Infertility

Female infertility can be caused by numerous factors. Blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis and polycystic ovaries are common reasons for infertility in healthy women under the age of 35.

For women over the age of 40, becoming pregnant becomes more difficult. Women are born with a finite number of eggs. As women age their chance of becoming pregnant lessens as the number of eggs they have decreases. Infertility specialists in Georgia help thousands of women overcome age-related infertility with egg donation IVF. Egg donation in Georgia is increasingly popular with patients who are unable to access egg donation in their home countries.

Male Infertility

The main factor for male infertility is a low sperm count or low quality sperm. Male infertility may be caused by an inability to ejaculate. Sperm extraction methods and sperm donation can help infertile men become fathers.

Since the first test-tube baby in 1978, assisted reproduction medicine has advanced drastically. Medical technology today allows infertility treatment to help millions of people become parents. There are numerous infertility treatment options available to help couples having trouble conceiving.

Sperm Preparation

To increase the chances of success from all infertility treatments, infertility specialists will recommend that sperm is prepared before any procedure. During sperm preparation, retrieved sperm or donor sperm, is separated from the semen, cleaned and the strongest individual sperm are identified for use in treatment.

Ovulation Induction

The most common cause of infertility amongst women of child-bearing age is irregular ovulation. To stimulate ovulate, fertility drugs will be prescribed. When the ovaries are stimulated with fertility drugs, the number of eggs produced increases dramatically. The ova (unfertilized eggs) are collected during a procedure known as egg harvesting.

Sperm Preparation and Ovulation Induction are infertility treatment procedures performed alongside other treatments.  

Artificial Insemination/ Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

For couples who are experiencing difficulties conceiving, artificial insemination is the least invasive treatment method for infertility. Artificial insemination is often used to assist conception for males with low sperm counts or low quality sperm. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is the most common method of artificial insemination.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

In vitro fertilization is the most common treatment for infertility. Before it became known as IVF, in vitro fertilization was known as the infertility treatment to produce 'test-tube' babies. IVF involves a process of combining the unfertilized ova and prepared sperm outside of the uterus. When the ova fertilizes, the embryo is implanted into the uterus.

Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) 

ICSI can be performed as a treatment alongside a womans natural menstrual cycle, however it is often combined with IVF to increase the success rate of infertility treatment. 

Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection is a method particularly used to treat problems caused by low sperm motility. By injecting an individual, healthy sperm into the centre of an unfertilized egg. By injecting the sperm into the centre of the ova, the sperm does not need topenetrate the shell and the fertilization success rate increases.

Donors

If women are unable to conceive naturally using their own eggs but want to experience pregnancy, egg donation can provide a solution. Pregnancy through egg donation involves a donor egg being fertilized using either IVF or ICSI and being implanted into the womb of the recipient.

Sperm donation allows a woman to become pregnant if her partner is unable to produce quality sperm. Donor sperm can be used with both artificial insemination and in vitro methods of infertility treatment. Donor sperm is also used by single women.

Surrogacy

Women who are unable to carry a pregnancy to full term due to a damaged uterus, premature menopause or for health reasons may consider surrogacy. Surrogacy involves a surrogate carrying the child in her womb and relinquishes custody immediately upon the birth. The genetic make up of the child will depend on whether the intended parents choose traditional surrogacy or gestational surrogacy and if donor sperm or eggs are used.

With more than 150 million couples worldwide affected by infertility, scientists and doctors are constantly researching and developing new treatments and techniques that could make overcoming infertility easier and less time and money consuming.
