The method of “in vitro fertilisation” or “extracorporeal insemination” is understood as joining the egg and sperm outside the mother’s body. For this purpose, after prior stimulation of the ovaries, one or more eggs are removed from both ovaries, then transferred into a test tube (= in vitro) and combined with the male sperm. The embryo thus created is developed in laboratory conditions for three to five days and then returned to uterus (= embryo transfer). 

Since the procedure described above can be challenging for some parenting couples, the approach should be as personal as possible, and the therapy should take place in a confidential atmosphere. This is precisely the reason why we strive for an individual approach by enabling every couple treated to have one permanent physician, as far as possible. The treatment begins with details of health history, comprehensive advice and information on all aspects of the therapy, including potential risks.

After the analysis of all previous and current findings, thorough gynaecological examination and after checking the spermiogram, an individual therapeutic plan is prepared. 

It has emerged from many cases that psychological counselling might prove beneficial before the in vitro fertilisation as such.  A precise overview of the course of the planned therapy, individual examinations and the detailed description of medication will be given to each couple as part of the individual therapeutic plan.

Treatment with donated eggs (oocytes) has a long tradition in our clinic and has been conducted at a high-quality level since the establishment of our clinic.

In the case of therapy using donated oocytes, the eggs used have been obtained from anonymous healthy donors, whose eggs are then fertilised with the partner’s sperms by the ICSI/IMSI methods.

Donors undergo a careful selection. Only young healthy women (18-34 years of age) are included in the oocyte donation programme and must comply with the strict criteria based on legislation and internal requirements of our clinic.

Social freezing offers women the option to preserve and freeze their own eggs because they might plan parenting later, for various factors (e.g. since they might prioritise their careers, studies, search for a suitable partner, work in a harmful environment or there are serious health reasons, such as a scheduled oncological treatment, surgery of ovaries, etc.).

The options offered by our clinic provide time and space to make dreams come true or to overcome difficult periods in life. To have your own eggs frozen, you just need to visit our clinic Next Fertility IVF Prof. Zech Plzeň, consult our physician and undergo the initial examination (gynaecological, ultrasound and hormonal profile examination). Based on results of the examination and by mutual agreement, a treatment plan will be developed shortly, and your treatment can begin within a few days. 

As part of infertility treatment, the purpose of genetic analysis is to examine unfertilised or fertilised eggs for potential genetic defects before inserting the eggs to mother’s uterus.  

All detailed information regarding the examination process and possible risks as well as medical indications and legislation will be provided to you during the medical consultation.

Genetic testing in infertility treatment is recommended in the following cases in particular:

•  Individual and/or familial genetic burden
• Repeated miscarriages
• Several unsuccessful treatment cycles during IVF therapy
