Treatment and Fertility Preservation
IVF and ICSI
Fertilization is completed in the laboratory after egg retrieval. Conventional IVF and ICSI are different fertilization methods, and the choice depends on semen, eggs and previous fertilization.
Egg freezing & fertility preservation
After evaluation, ovarian stimulation, monitoring, egg retrieval and egg freezing are carried out. Future use will also involve thawing, fertilization, embryo culture and transfer.
Embryo detection and freezing
Bridging embryo biopsy, test reports, and genetic interpretation when PGT is required. Once the embryos are frozen, they can be prepared for transfer in subsequent cycles.
Frozen embryo transfer
Carry out uterine and endometrium assessment, cycle preparation, thawing and transfer around the existing embryos, and then arrange pregnancy tests and early pregnancy follow-up.
IVF laboratory
The September 2025 Lab article covers dedicated HVAC, positive pressure air environments, VOC and HEPA filtration. The cultivation process relies on stable control of temperature, gas and air quality.
The laboratory description lists UPS batteries and dedicated backup generators, and describes plans for scheduled testing, emergency freezing, and sample disposal in the event of natural disasters.
Understanding the laboratoryInternational patients seeking medical treatment
Remote initial consultation
The official website lists remote consultation methods such as Zoom, Skype, and WeChat, and provides translation services. The initial consultation focuses on medical history, fertility goals, previous treatments and examination results.
Local inspection and travel to the United States cycle
After the doctor prescribes a pre-cycle examination, some items can be completed locally. The ovarian stimulation monitoring, time to travel to the United States, and egg retrieval location are linked by the specific plan; if you use your partner’s fresh sperm, you also need to arrange sample retention.
Embryo culture and transfer
Coordinator delivers fertilization and culture information; further connects biopsy and reporting when PGT is required. The transfer can be arranged separately, and subsequent pregnancy tests and early pregnancy ultrasounds will be connected with local doctors according to the medical plan.
