We define our center by the highly-individualized, compassionate care we provide for our patients. Our New Jersey practice has achieved excellent success rates through the use of the most up-to-date clinical fertility treatment and laboratory advancements.
ICSI is primarily used to treat male factor infertility. For males who have just a few, barely swimming sperm in the ejaculate or who ejaculate no sperm, the ICSI procedure can be used to directly inject the sperm into the egg.
PGD is a procedure in which one of the cells (blastomere) of the embryo is removed for genetic analysis three days after egg retrieval to identify genetically abnormal embryos. By not transferring abnormal embryos, this procedure may reduce the chance of miscarriage, or when done to identify specific genetic disorders, may prevent the need for termination of pregnancy or the birth of a baby with a serious genetic disease.
Assisted hatching is another fertility treatment offered at our New Jersey practice. This is often used for situations in which a couple has had multiple failed cycles of standard IVF. By creating a minor defect in the outer membrane which surrounds the egg, the result is a greater chance of the embryo "hatching," or shedding its shell, allowing for a better chance of implantation.
By culturing these embryos for an additional 2 to 3 days, more chromosomally normal embryos will be selected out naturally and develop to the blastocyst (5-day-old) stage in the laboratory. Usually, only the best embryos have the ability to grow to the blastocyst stage and the pregnancy rate per blastocyst transferred is better than 3-day-old embryos.
The Center for Reproductive Medicine and Fertility maintains a reproductive laboratory capable of measuring critically important reproductive hormones with results available the same day. On-site detailed analyses of semen and sperm is available and frozen sperm may be stored temporarily for anticipated treatment
