Frequently asked questions & facts

We understand that you have many questions about IVF and how everything will take place in Mexico City. Here are some answers to your questions before going forward with a consultation.

Who should consider IVF?
IVF is recommended for individuals and couples facing various fertility issues, including blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, ovulation disorders, and unexplained infertility, as well as for those who have not had success with other fertility treatments.
What are the steps involved in an IVF cycle?
An IVF cycle typically involves ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization in the lab, embryo culture, and embryo transfer.

How long does an IVF cycle take?
A complete IVF cycle can take about three weeks from the start of ovarian stimulation to the embryo transfer. However, the process can extend over a longer period if the cycle includes steps like freezing embryos or using additional treatments such as genetic testing.
Can IVF be used with donor eggs or sperm?
Yes, IVF can be performed using donor eggs, donor sperm, or both. This is an option for individuals and couples who may not be able to use their own eggs or sperm due to various reasons.
