If pregnancy is not immediately successful, this is often a source of worry, despair and sadness for women and couples. Fortunately, reproductive medicine today is able to help many people achieve their dream. You can go to the practice with all fertility problems, with the intention of first thoroughly checking where the problem lies. Depending on this balance, you can be helped with restorative viewing tube operations, hormonal stimulations, inseminations, in vitro fertilization, ICSI, PGD or PGS, up to the use of donor sperm cells or eggs if necessary. There are also options for getting pregnant for lesbian couples and single prospective parents, subject to the necessary screening, counseling and preparation. These fertility explorations and treatments take place at URG, our Unit for Reproductive Medicine in the Regional Hospital Heilig Hart in Leuven. URG annual reports 2014, 2015 and 2018. Specifically for IVF and ICSI, more than three quarters of patients under the age of 36 with us continue to become pregnant within the first two reimbursed IVF attempts.
