What is IVF-ET?

IVF-ET is a form of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries after ovarian stimulation.
The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in our laboratory.
Resulting embryos are cultured for several days before a healthy embryo is transferred back into the uterus.

Our Approach to IVF Treatment

Personalized Protocols: We select the best ovarian stimulation method (e.g., PPOS, antagonist, low-stimulation) based on your age, ovarian reserve (AMH), and medical history.
Diagnostic Value: IVF allows direct observation of fertilization, which can help identify previously unknown causes of infertility, such as issues with egg or sperm quality.
Advanced Options: If fertilization is difficult with standard IVF, we can perform Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.
Patient-Centered Care: We recognize the physical, emotional, and financial demands of IVF. We prioritize thorough discussion to ensure you are comfortable and informed at every step of your journey.
Insurance and Costs: IVF is covered by Japanese health insurance as of April 2022, subject to age and cycle limits. We will explain your specific coverage and any out-of-pocket costs for advanced procedures.
