AltraVita in Moscow, Russia, unites the latest, most up to the minute fertility technologies with an experienced and caring staff to offer patients a complete spectrum of fertility and assisted reproduction treatments including: initial infertility diagnostics, ovulation induction, artificial insemination, IVF and embryo transfer, egg donation, sperm bank and preimplantation genetic diagnosis of embryos.
Advanced infertility diagnostic techniques can be used to identify the cause of an individual's infertility and indicate the best way to treat it. In order to understand why pregnancy doesn't occur, we need to examine the four critical areas which are needed to make a baby - eggs, sperm, fallopian tubes, and the uterus. In 40% of cases, the problem will be with the male, in 40% with the female, and in 10% both partners will have a problem.
Before starting with fertility tests, the doctor takes a detailed medical history from the couple, and also performs a physical examination for both of them, to determine if this can provide clues as to the cause of the problem. The doctor will need to find out details about your menstrual cycle, as well as your sexual habits and past history of surgery or illness, so you should be prepared to answer these questions. Read more about the diagnosis of infertility.
The choice of fertility treatment will depend on the causes of the infertility, and on personal circumstances and preferences.
Sometimes, more than one infertility factor may be present, and a combination of therapies may be needed. Or, the appropriate therapy may be tried, but with no success. When 'conventional therapy' fails, IVF is usually the only recourse.
IVF is a treatment option used for couples with infertility that cannot be treated using simpler methods. This procedure has excellent success rate but requires significant effort and can be expensive and stressful. These natural stresses can be minimised if you understand the nuances of the various procedures, which will help maximise your chance for success.
Step 1 - ovulation induction
Step 2 - egg retrieval
Step 3 - fertilisation and embryo culture
Step 4 - embryo transfer
In many situations, especially when a woman is in her late 30s and early 40s, infertility may result from a decrease in ovarian function and a consequent fall in egg quality. In the event of a severe compromise in ovarian function, successful pregnancy is very unlikely. A treatment that often offers an excellent chance of success is to use eggs from a donor who is capable of producing good quality eggs. Egg donation is a complex treatment option from medical, psychological and ethical viewpoints, but one that provides a very good chance for pregnancy.
The surrogacy programme works in conjunction with attorneys specialising in third party assisted births. The legal climate towards surrogacy in Russia is extremely positive, hence the programme has been able to help couples from countries where surrogacy is prohibited to find a suitable surrogate mother.
If a recipient couple is accepted in to the surrogacy programme, there is no waiting list.
AltraVita has a sperm bank to provide patients with anonymous frozen donor semen that has a high standard of genetic and infectious donor screening and sperm quality.
