Your IVF process step by step
1. Ovarian stimulation and monitoring
We personalize your protocol with daily injections (150–300 IU of follicle-stimulating hormone). We perform ultrasounds and estradiol measurements to track your follicle growth and choose the ideal time for egg retrieval.
2. Egg retrieval and fertilization
Under light sedation, we use a 17-gauge needle to aspirate follicles in ≤10 mL of flushing medium. Eggs undergo IVF or ICSI depending on semen quality.
3. Embryo culture and transfer
Embryos grow for 5–6 days in incubators with time-lapse imaging. We transfer one high-quality embryo to the uterus using a soft, ultrasound-guided catheter. Surplus embryos are vitrified at –196 °C.
Why choose us?
Our clinical pregnancy rates reach up to 55% per cycle in women under 35. We offer personalized counseling, financial plans and 24/7 support. Our certified reproductive endocrinologists design each protocol to maximize your safety and results, avoiding self-medication.
We have geneticists, embryologists and mental health specialists to support you in every aspect of your path to parenthood.

Frequently asked questions
1. How do I know if I need fertility treatment?
If you’ve tried to conceive for more than 12 months (or 6 months if you’re over 35), consult a specialist. Irregular cycles, recurrent losses or conditions like PCOS and low ovarian reserve are signals to evaluate your fertility with hormone tests, ultrasounds and semen analysis.
2. What risks does IVF have and how do you manage them?
IVF can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), multiple pregnancies or procedural complications. At Ingenes we adjust doses, use “freeze-all” when necessary and transfer a single embryo to reduce risks. We have facilities and equipment ready for any eventuality.
3. Can I come if I live outside the U.S.?
Yes. We assist with travel, visas and accommodation. We offer telemedicine and coordinate a comfortable stay in San Diego. If you prefer closer to Mexico, visit our sister clinic Ingenes Mexicali, with cultural and language support.
4. What emotional support do you offer?
We have therapists specialized in reproductive health, support groups and individual sessions. We also offer mindfulness workshops and nutritional counseling so you don’t face this process alone.
