Fertility and IVF Treatment

Overview

What is Fertility and IVF Care?

Fertility and IVF is a specialised branch of obstetrics and gynaecology. Helping individuals and couples overcome challenges with conceiving is what it focuses on, especially when the process of starting a family does not happen as expected is its focus. It brings together the care needed combined with advanced medical knowledge, precise laboratory techniques and compassionate support.

A fertility clinic offers a full spectrum of services with initial assessments and ovulation tracking, and complex assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilisation (IVF), all included. Looking beyond the biological barriers is at the heart of fertility care. It considers the emotional and physical journey involved in building a family.

To understand their unique medical history, specialists work closely with each person. Identifying the root causes of infertility, they design a pathway that offers the best possible chance of a healthy pregnancy.

When to Visit a Fertility Specialist?

Timing matters. Because they assume more time is all that is needed, many couples delay consulting a fertility specialist. Trying to conceive for twelve months without success, for women under 35, is a clear signal to seek expert advice. This window shortens to six months for those aged 35 to 40. Anyone over 40 should consider visiting a fertility center without delay.

There are a few other reasons to seek help. These include irregular or absent menstrual cycles, known conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis and a history of pelvic infections. Previous cancer treatment may have also affected fertility. Early evaluation should be sought by male partners with known issues such as low sperm count or a history of testicular injury or surgery.

A thorough consultation precedes diagnosis. We look into a patient's medical history, lifestyle factors and any previous pregnancies or miscarriages. Standard investigations include blood tests to measure hormone levels, such as anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) for women. This gives an indication of ovarian reserve. For structural problems or signs of conditions like fibroids or polyps, ultrasound scans are used to examine the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. To check whether the fallopian tubes are open, hysterosalpingography (HSG) or saline infusion sonography may be performed.

A semen analysis for men is the cornerstone of diagnosis as it assesses sperm count, motility and morphology. More advanced tests cover sperm DNA fragmentation analysis or testicular biopsy. A fertility specialist can determine what the difficulty is by bringing together results from both partners. This could be ovulation, tubal blockage, sperm quality, uterine factors or a combination of issues.

  • Female factor infertility: ovulatory disorders, PCOS, premature ovarian insufficiency, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis and uterine abnormalities
  • Male factor infertility: low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal morphology, varicocele, and genetic causes of sperm production issues
  • Unexplained infertility
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Genetic disorders
  • Fertility preservation

Evidence, empathy and individualised treatment plans are the principles on which our approach is built at NMC. Not every person needs IVF, and the first step is always to explore the least invasive option that suits the diagnosis. Timed intercourse or ovulation induction with oral medications for some is enough. For others, intrauterine insemination (IUI) offers a simple first-line treatment. This happens when a prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation.

IVF becomes the central offering when more advanced help is needed. Eggs are collected from the ovaries after a short course of hormone injections in IVF. In a specialised embryology laboratory, these eggs are then fertilised with sperm. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is used in many cases. To overcome male factor issues, this is when a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each egg. The resulting embryos are closely monitored. One or two of the best quality are then transferred back into the uterus.

NMC provides additional services such as egg freezing, sperm freezing, embryo freezing and preimplantation genetic testing for inherited conditions or chromosomal health, helping those searching for an IVF clinic that offers the full range of options. Our laboratories follow strict international guidelines. We guarantee continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity and air quality to help protect the delicate embryos. Patients in search of the best IVF clinic in the UAE across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and Al Ain are bound to find a commonality across all our facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

IUI is when washed sperm is placed directly into the uterus around ovulation, which naturally allows fertilisation to happen inside the body. IVF involves collecting eggs, fertilising them with sperm in a laboratory and transferring an embryo directly into the uterus.
From the start of medication to the pregnancy test, which is a full cycle, usually takes four to six weeks. This includes ovarian stimulation, which takes 8 to 12 days, egg collection, fertilisation and embryo development, which takes 3 to 6 days and embryo transfer. This is followed by a two-week wait.
No treatment can guarantee pregnancy. Success rates, however, have improved significantly over the years. Multiple factors drive these success rates. These are age, the cause of infertility and the quality of the clinic. The live birth rate per complete IVF cycle is often around 40 to 50 per cent for women under 35.
Egg freezing is an established method of fertility preservation. Vitrification (ultra-rapid freezing) gives excellent survival rates of frozen eggs. When the person is ready to use them, the eggs are thawed, fertilised with sperm using ICSI and the resulting embryos are transferred.
