Due to technological advances, there are now multiple fertility treatments such as IUI, DI and Surrogacy are available to help couples and individuals achieve their dream of starting a family. In our blog today, we will discuss a few of these options and when a fertility specialist may recommend them.
In order to determine the best treatment option, a basic fertility check-up takes place after your initial consultation. Your check-up may include the following:
What is it?: IUI, also known as artificial insemination, is a fertility treatment that places washed and prepared sperm near the egg during an ovulation cycle. It can be during a stimulated cycle, which is when you are taking fertility medications to encourage the production of mature eggs, or IUI will take place during your natural ovulation cycle.
When it recommended?: Often a variety of reasons can contribute to carry out Intrauterine insemination. After the conduction of semen analysis, the results may indicate low sperm count, low sperm quality, or poor mobility. a medical condition, such as endometriosis, may also hinder Ovulation.
What is it?: This treatment option is very similar to Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). The only difference is that you use a donor‘s sperm and not that of your husband’s or partner’s.
When is it used?: DI is usually an available option for single women who are trying to conceive or when a couple needs someone to donate sperm for them. This can be for a variety of reasons such as a low sperm count, zero sperm production, or the probability of passing on a genetic condition to the baby.
What is it?: Surrogacy is the term that describes the process in which another woman helps carry and delivers a child for another couple or individual. It involves the Intended Parents throughout the pregnancy. They are also present at birth and assume full parental responsibilities immediately thereafter.
Gestational surrogacy is the preferred surrogacy method for most Intended Parents. This method uses the eggs of the intended mother and the sperm of the intended father. The egg insemination then takes place via IVF. Then it is transferred into the surrogate. This ensures that there are no genetic ties to the surrogate. In some cases, donor eggs and/or donor sperm will be used.
Surrogacy is a fairly complex fertility process comparing to the IUI or DI with many legal considerations. We have helped many intended couples build a family with surrogacy, including same-sex couples.
When is it used?: A surrogate is usually useful when the intended mother cannot carry the baby herself due to uterine irregularities, multiple failed IVF cycles, or a medical condition that could cause risk to themselves or their baby during pregnancy. It is also the ‘go-to’ option for gay couples planning to have their own family.
What is it?: SSR is a highly-specialized medical procedure which the urologists carry out. It is a way of extracting sperm from men who are not producing any when they ejaculate. It usually performed under mild anesthetic. An expert andrologist then analyzes the retrieved sperm. Treatment through Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) uses it.
When is it used?: Surgical Sperm Retrieval often takes place to help men suffering from Azoospermia, (a condition in which there is no sperm in the ejaculate). Other conditions may include blockages in the passage tubes, vasectomy, or failed vasectomy reversal.

Following the Preimplantation Genetic Screening process, which helps ensure there are normal chromosome numbers and detects possible genetic disorders, the most healthy embryo(s) are selected to be implanted into your or your chosen surrogate’s womb. 2 weeks after the transfer of the embryo, your physician will conduct a final blood test to determine the level of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your body. Increased hCG levels usually indicate a positive pregnancy test.
For fertilization to take place, the collected egg and sperm are combined in a petri dish and cultured in an embryo incubator. This dish is closely watched to check whether any of the eggs have been fertilized. Once the egg is fertilized, it is referred to as an embryo or a blastocyst on the 5th day of development. Our in-house embryologist carefully nurtures every embryo to the right time, even if it means working outside the standard business operating hours. For instance: If an oocyte is not mature, our laboratory will wait for it to mature and then ICSI it at the right time.
The egg retrieval is a slightly invasive medical procedure that takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You will be given an anesthetic to make you sleep for the duration of the procedure. Using ultrasound technology, your doctor will harvest your eggs transvaginally with a small, hollow needle connected to an ultrasound probe. Once your eggs are collected, your partner’s semen or donor sperm you have pre-selected is used for fertilization. The sperm are washed and prepared, and the top-quality sperm extracted is used to fertilize the eggs.
Your doctor will create a customized medication schedule that contains information about the fertility medications and hormone injections you have to take. Medication and injections are taken to encourage your ovaries to mature a large number of eggs for fertilization. Since women don’t respond to fertility drugs and hormones the same way, personalized protocols are crucial to the IVF cycle success. At Coastal Fertility, we will monitor you closely, letting you understand the changes occurring in your body and keeping track of how your egg follicles are growing.
On-site consultations typicallyinclude a standard fertility evaluation, consisting of a physical examination, complementary follicular ultrasound, and testing to enable your doctor to know your present fertility status and draw up a treatment plan.
This consultation includes a detailed medical evaluation with a doctor. You and your physician will review your health records and have enough time to talk about your goals and get answers to your questions. We recommend that you jot down all your questions before the visit to allow you to make the best use of the time spent with your doctor.
Your Reproductive Endocrinologist will take all factors into consideration and create a comprehensive plan of care, otherwise known as the treatment plan. This plan will include treatment recommendations from the physician and enable your financial coordinator to make a precise quotation once you meet.
