We offer you these types of artificial insemination:

• IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation)
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
• P-ICSI (Physiological ICSI)

In vitro fertilization involves removing the egg from the ovary and then placing it in the test tube with the man's sperm. Fertilization in the test tube takes place naturally, without medical intervention. If the fertilization works, we put the resulting embryo into the uterus two to five days later.

In detail, an IVF usually runs according to this scheme:

1. Hormone treatment
2. Initiation of ovulation
3. Taking the egg
4. Fertilization in the laboratory
5. Transfer of embryos to the uterus
6. Success control

The chance of getting pregnant through IVF treatment is 50% per cycle. The birth rate is 35% per treatment course.

The success depends not only on the fact that the treatment itself is uncomplicated. The probability of pregnancy is also influenced by the age of the couple, the hormonal situation and the lifestyle. Obesity, stress, nicotine and excessive consumption of alcohol can reduce the chance of success.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is the most common fertility treatment. It helps especially couples, in which the fertility of the man is severely limited.

The course of an ICSI corresponds for the most part to that of in vitro fertilization. However, in an ICSI, a single spermatozoa is injected directly into one of the ova with a needle. This increases the probability of fertilization. If the fertilization is successful, the resulting embryo is transferred to the woman's uterus on the second to sixth day after taking the egg. The further procedure corresponds to that with an IVF treatment.

The prospects of ICSI are similar to those of IVF. The pregnancy rate is 50% per cycle. The birth rate is 35% per treatment course.

In a P-ICSI (Physiological ICSI) the spermatozoa are selected for the ICSI.

Mature sperm are separated from immature by a hyaluronic acid pre-test. In mature sperm hyaluron is a fixed component of their shell. Immature sperm do not have this component. Using this procedure we select a mature sperm cell under the microscope for ICSI treatment.

Apart from the selection of sperm used, a P-ICSI works the same way as an ICSI.

Yes. Fertility declines with age. The best age range for a first child is 25–35, when the body is most resilient. The younger you are, the higher the chances of success.

If more embryos are created than needed, they can be frozen (cryopreserved) for future cycles.

This often eliminates the need for another round of hormone stimulation.

If you are unwanted childless, it is essential to clarify the causes. We carry out detailed examinations and recommend the appropriate treatment based on your diagnostic results. This may include IVF. In some cases, however, simpler therapies are sufficient to achieve pregnancy.

Austrian health insurance does not cover IVF. However, the IVF Fund covers 70% of the cost if eligibility criteria are met.

The IVF Fund covers up to four cycles per couple. If you’re self-funding, there’s no set limit.

Yes. You must either be in a registered partnership or provide a notarised declaration confirming your consent and understanding of the legal implications.

A typical IVF cycle lasts several weeks, depending on your cycle. It’s carefully timed to optimise your chances of success.
