Creating a family is one of the most exciting phases of life, which is why the Aevitas fertility specialists, embryologists and nurses are so passionate about our work. Following a consultation with your fertility doctor which can be in person or online, treatment recommendations will be discussed. Treatment may include addressing factors affecting fertility e.g., lifestyle factors or medical conditions such as endometriosis. In addition to this, a range of fertility treatment options are available to you based on your doctor’s recommendation. This includes, but is not limited to:

Ovulation Induction
AI (Artificial insemination) / IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination)
ICSI/IVF

Ovulation Induction

Following a thorough evaluation of you and your partner, as well as some additional diagnostic tests, your Aevitas fertility doctor may recommend Ovulation Induction. This treatment includes hormone stimulating tablets used to stimulate the ovaries to assist with conception. During this process your fertility doctor might order additional blood tests and require you to come for ultrasound scans to monitor the process.

Time: Average of 5 days of hormone treatment and a 30 minute visit to the Aevitas Clinic for monitoring.

International - Treatments Ovulation Induction

AI (Artificial insemination) / IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination)

Following a consultation with your Aevitas Fertility doctor and a range of tests, AI, also known as, IUI may be recommended. This treatment includes Ovulation Induction which is followed by an HCG injection which induces the release of the egg into the womb. Artificial Insemination then follows with your partner- or donor sperm.

Time: Average of 5 days of hormone treatment and a 30-minute visit to Aevitas Clinic for monitoring. The procedure itself is performed at the clinic and takes only 15 minutes.

ICSI/IVF

Following a thorough investigation with your Aevitas fertility doctor, ICSI or IVF may be recommended. During IVF and ICSI, eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilised in the laboratory with sperm. After a number of days, the fertilised eggs (embryos) are transferred to the womb to develop and grow.

Time: Average of 10 days of hormone treatment, which will require you to come to the clinic on average twice during this period for monitoring. This is followed by ova aspiration and embryo transfer (scheduled a few days apart from each other) which are both 15min procedures performed at Aevitas.

International - Treatments Donor Eggs and Sperm

Gynaecological and Endoscopic surgery

As world leaders in non-invasive gynaecological and Endoscopic surgery, the Aevitas Fertility Doctors use the latest equipment and surgical practices to investigate and, where possible, repair any damage to fertility organs.

Time: This may vary from a 30 min procedure done in Aevitas’ day clinic under conscious sedation to procedures performed under general anaesthetics within Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital requiring hospitalisation for ½ - 1 day.
