During the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process, eggs are removed from the woman’s body and combined with sperm in the laboratory to create embryos, which several days later are then transferred into the woman’s uterus. Nearly 60% of IVF procedures in the United States are performed on women 35 and older.
Before undergoing an IVF cycle in Connecticut, you will be prescribed several medications to stimulate the development of multiple ovarian follicles containing eggs to be fertilized. We closely monitor this process using blood tests and ultrasound. Once the eggs have matured, they are retrieved through a simple procedure under ultrasound guidance. We then expose the retrieved eggs to sperm and transfer either one but no more than two of the resulting embryos back into your uterus.
The IVF Program at Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT) has been very successful in treating all causes of sub-fertility including:
The fertility doctors at RMACT are all board certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology. They are members of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), a voluntary, non-profit organization devoted to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive medicine and biology. They are also members of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), an organization of assisted reproductive technology providers affiliated with ASRM that has collected data and published annual reports of pregnancy success rates for fertility clinics in the U.S. and Canada since 1989.
In addition, RMACT is fully accredited by both the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) and the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM).
