The field of infertility is continually advancing, and Westchester Fertility remains at the forefront—integrating the latest innovations into our treatment protocols to provide safe, effective care and maximize each patient’s chances of success.
We routinely offer a range of advanced treatment options, including:
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): IVF begins with medications that stimulate the ovaries of the intended mother or an egg donor, encouraging the development of multiple eggs. These eggs are then retrieved through a brief, ultrasound-guided procedure performed under anesthesia, typically lasting 15–20 minutes. In the laboratory, the eggs are combined with sperm from the intended father or a donor. Once embryos have developed and been carefully evaluated, one or two of the most viable embryos are transferred to the uterus during a simple procedure known as embryo transfer. In many cases, embryos are frozen prior to transfer to allow for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): As part of the IVF process, ICSI involves the precise injection of a single healthy sperm directly into an egg to promote fertilization. This technique is especially beneficial in cases involving low sperm count, poor sperm motility, prior fertilization failure, or unexplained infertility.
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): PGD allows couples with known inherited genetic conditions to reduce the risk of passing those conditions on to their children. This testing is performed on embryos created through IVF before they are transferred to the uterus.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): PGT is widely recommended for many patients, as it helps identify the most viable embryos for transfer. By selecting embryos with the highest likelihood of success, PGT supports single embryo transfer and significantly reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies.
