IVF Orientation

Learn about IVF, in vitro fertilization, through our FREE IVF orientation.

Whether you are just beginning to explore in vitro fertilization (IVF) as a fertility treatment option, or you have decided to proceed with it, you’ll need guidance and support.

You can find the information you need when you participate in our IVF orientation course. This convenient online course will be taking the place of our monthly IVF seminars due to safety concerns surrounding COVID-19.

What to expect during our IVF orientation

During our IVF orientation, our Austin fertility doctors discuss commonly asked questions about advanced reproductive technology. This course was created to help you become an informed and empowered IVF patient. Our IVF Orientation is open to patients as well as anyone who is interested in learning more about IVF.

To provide you with a comprehensive education about IVF, our fertility specialists cover a variety of important topics.

  • Fertility issues that are best treated by IVF
  • Transitioning from basic infertility treatments to IVF
  • Fertility tests that should be performed prior to IVF
  • What to expect during every step of the IVF process, from beginning injectable medications to the embryo transfer
  • The role of IVF in third party reproduction
  • Pregnancy rates and live birth rates associated with IVF

Inside the IVF lab

An embryologist from our partner IVF laboratory, Ovation Fertility®, will give you a behind-the-scenes perspective so you will understand what happens in the IVF laboratory. For example, via a high-resolution video, you will be able to see inside the IVF lab incubators where embryos grow until the day of transfer. Our hope is to demystify IVF lab procedures by clearly explaining them.

Common IVF lab procedures include:

  • Egg identification and culture following the IVF retrieval
  • Insemination (the addition of sperm to the egg)
  • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
  • Embryo culture and grading
  • Embryo vitrification (freezing)
  • Embryo biopsy and preimplantation genetic screening (PGS)
