Fertility Treatments
&w=1920&q=75)
At TFP Simply Fertility, we offer many different kinds of treatment, from conventional IVF, to fertility preservation, egg and sperm donation and surrogacy.
This section describes the treatments, outlining when you might use them and what will happen if you do. If you have not visited before you probably won’t know what treatment you’ll need and therefore be overwhelmed by the possible options.
In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF)
IVF treatment requires more eggs than in a natural cycle so the ovaries are stimulated to increase the number of mature eggs available for fertilisation. The eggs are collected from the ovaries using ultrasound guidance. The sperm from the partner or a donor are specially prepared and mixed with the eggs in the laboratory to allow fertilisation to occur.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
If the chances of success of IVF are low because the number of suitable sperm is too low, the eggs obtained following hormonal stimulation can be fertilised in the laboratory by means of microinjection using one sperm cell each. The resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus, just like in IVF.

Frozen embryo transfer
Spare embryos from your IVF treatment can be frozen for future use, depending on their quality. Frozen cycles are necessary for those wishing to use their previously stored embryos.

Freezing – vitrification
Vitrification involves much more rapid cooling than other less advanced methods of freezing, and it prevents ice crystals from forming. This preserves the quality of the cells and improves the chances of success when they are thawed.

Sperm donation
People struggle to have children for many different reasons. By donating your sperm, you’ll be giving them the chance to conceive the child they’ve always wanted.

Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI)
Artificial insemination by partner requires a fresh sample of the partner’s sperm on the day of insemination. The semen is prepared and concentrated prior to placement in the uterus using a fine catheter (intra-uterine insemination).

Fertility preservation
A woman’s fertility is at its highest in her twenties, but for many women having a baby at this stage of life is not an option, and many are now planning to start families in their late 30s. It can get harder to conceive as a woman gets older; her chances of miscarriage also increase.

Implantation failure
IVF and ICSI can be very successful treatment methods. However, some cycles don’t finish with successful implantation, even after a number of transfers with apparently good embryos. Also, sometimes a cycle achieves a conception, but the pregnancy doesn’t develop to term.

Harmony testing
Harmony Testing is risk-free, non-invasive prenatal testing carried out after 10 weeks of pregnancy and consists of a blood test that analyses DNA from the foetus that circulates in the mother’s blood.

Hormone Health and menopause
The body’s hormones are fundamental to everyday life. Changes in their balance need careful management, whether it be due to a medical condition or a specific stage of life. Hormone Health’s range of expertise means they can offer appropriate advice and treatments for women throughout their lives.

Genetic embryo testing
Genetic embryo testing is available at TFP Simply Fertility. If you’d like to discuss the testing options available to you for your IVF cycle, please contact us

Surgical Sperm Retrieval (SSR)
Before IVF treatment begins, we carry out a semen analysis. Some men have sperm being manufactured in their testes, but not present in ejaculate when the semen is analysed. The problem can be caused by a blockage, or reduced sperm production. In these cases, we can collect sperm via surgical sperm retrieval. We can also use this method to collect sperm for men who have previously had a vasectomy, or a failed vasectomy reversal.

Egg donation
Every year there are thousands of individuals and couples whose only chance of having a baby is through egg donation. Choosing to donate your eggs to someone who needs them is a selfless act that gives hope to those unable to conceive naturally.
Surrogacy
The path to parenthood isn’t always as simple as many people envision it will be. Unfortunately, there can be problems that arise and make it difficult, or impossible, for couples or individuals to have a baby. Surrogacy is when a woman carries and gives birth to a baby for another person or couple. It is an option for couples who can’t conceive naturally.
