As the Most Successful Lab in Central Texas, TFC Takes Great Care of
Future Generations
When you select Texas Fertility Center (TFC), you
not only receive world-class care from skilled
physicians, but also peace of mind from working with
a highly specialized fertility lab. Austin IVF, a
TFC partner, regularly attains national recognition
from entities that oversee fertility laboratories.
Specially designed to promote optimal embryo
development, Austin IVF’s mission is to nurture your
embryos until they are transferred back into your
body.
Before beginning a process like
in
vitro fertilization (IVF) or
intrauterine insemination
(IUI), many patients opt for
genetic testing. Through parental screening, we can collect
saliva or blood samples to screen you and your partner for over 130
genes linked to inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs,
Sickle Cell, and fragile X. At Texas Fertility Center, we also
employ preimplantation genetic screening (PGS),
also referred to as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). This
technique, where a single cell is removed from the embryo to check
for abnormalities, increases the likelihood of transferring
chromosomally normal embryos into your uterus.
Sometimes, Mother Nature needs a little push, so we offer
advanced techniques such as intracytoplasmic
sperm injection (ICSI) and laser
assisted hatching. If your
partner has a low sperm count or reduced sperm motility, we can
utilize intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to increase the
chances of fertilization. Assisted hatching softens the “shell”
around the egg, or oocyte, improving the odds of implantation.
Austin IVF and our team of expert embryologists also provide support
for the oocytes (eggs) after retrieval and then keep the embryos
safe until the embryo transfer. Should you have extra embryos that
can be cryopreserved (frozen) after transfer, Austin IVF will
safeguard them until you and your partner are ready to move forward.
Don’t leave conception to chance. Partner with Texas Fertility
Center and Austin IVF to improve your odds of achieving a pregnancy.
