01

Getting started iconGetting Started

General questions before treatment or travel.

Send your medical history, previous fertility reports, laboratory results, imaging, and prior treatment records. The international patient team can arrange review before travel and identify any missing tests.

Yes. Reviewing your records before travel helps the team understand your history and prepare preliminary next steps.

Yes. An online consultation can be used to discuss your history, previous treatment, possible options, and preparation before travel.

The suitable treatment depends on age, ovarian reserve, semen parameters, uterine and tubal factors, diagnosis, and previous treatment. A medical review is required.

Review time depends on the completeness of your records and whether additional tests are needed. The coordinator can confirm timing after receiving your documents.

02

IVF and ICSI iconIVF & ICSI

Questions about IVF and ICSI treatment.

In conventional IVF, eggs and sperm are cultured together for fertilization. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into a mature egg. The method is selected after clinical and laboratory review.

IVF may be considered for several infertility diagnoses, including tubal disease, selected male-factor cases, unexplained infertility, age-related fertility decline, or after other treatment has not worked.

ICSI may be considered for male-factor infertility, previous poor fertilization, or selected cases using frozen or surgically retrieved sperm.

The timeline depends on the stimulation protocol, egg retrieval, embryo development, and whether fresh or frozen embryo transfer is planned.

The required stay varies with your treatment plan, monitoring schedule, and whether preparation can be completed before arrival.

Age, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, embryo development, uterine factors, diagnosis, previous treatment, and laboratory performance can affect outcomes.

03

Donation iconEgg & Embryo Donation

Questions about donor-assisted treatment.

Egg donation is a fertility treatment where eggs from a healthy donor are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory and the resulting embryo(s) are transferred to the intended mother's uterus. It may be considered when a patient cannot use her own eggs because of age, diminished ovarian reserve or certain medical conditions.

Donor eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and selected embryo(s) are transferred to the recipient uterus after medical preparation.

Embryo donation uses previously created embryos donated for reproductive use. The recipient undergoes medical evaluation and preparation before transfer.

Egg donation uses donor eggs that are fertilized for the recipient treatment pathway. Embryo donation uses already-created donated embryos.

Donor eligibility is determined through medical screening and clinic criteria. Assessment may include medical history, physical examination, infectious-disease screening, and other tests considered appropriate by the treating center.

04

Surrogacy iconSurrogacy

Questions about surrogacy in Iran.

Surrogacy may be considered when carrying a pregnancy is medically impossible or not advisable, subject to case-specific medical and legal review.

The pathway may include medical review, embryo creation, surrogate evaluation and coordination, embryo transfer, pregnancy care, delivery planning, and documentation.

Gestational surrogacy generally involves embryo creation through IVF before embryo transfer.

Evaluation may include medical, obstetric, psychological, and program-specific assessment.

The timeline varies with embryo creation, surrogate evaluation and matching, transfer timing, pregnancy, delivery, and documentation requirements.

05

Costs and packages iconCosts & Packages

Questions about pricing and packages.

Costs vary by protocol, medications, laboratory procedures, and additional services. A personalized quotation after medical review is more useful than a generic figure.

Medication may not be included in the displayed starting price because requirements vary between patients and protocols.

Additional tests, medication dosage, laboratory procedures, donor services, genetic testing, surgery, storage, or changes in treatment plan may affect the final amount.

Yes. Send your records for medical review so the team can prepare a preliminary treatment plan and estimate before travel.

Some international patient packages may include or separately offer airport transfer, accommodation, and local transport. Confirm the exact package inclusions.

06

Travel iconTravel to Iran

Questions about travel and patient services.

Visa requirements vary by nationality and travel circumstances. The international patient team can advise on the documentation typically needed for your case.

International patient support can coordinate guidance for travel, arrival, transportation, accommodation, and scheduling, depending on available services.

Airport transfer may be arranged as part of international patient support or selected packages. Confirm availability before travel.

Accommodation support may be available. The team can provide options based on treatment location, duration, and patient preference.

English and Arabic assistance can be arranged for international patients. Interpreter availability should be confirmed for your travel dates.

Yes. Follow-up can continue remotely for appropriate issues, with coordination with your local physician when needed.

07

Fertility preservation iconFertility Preservation

Questions about egg & sperm freezing.

Egg freezing may be considered by women delaying parenthood, patients facing treatment that could affect fertility, or selected patients with medical or fertility-related indications.

Age is a major factor affecting egg quantity and quality. Timing should be discussed with a fertility specialist based on age, ovarian reserve, and reproductive plans.

The process usually includes ovarian stimulation, monitoring, egg retrieval, vitrification, and storage.

Sperm freezing typically involves collection, laboratory analysis and preparation, cryopreservation, and secure storage.

Yes. Frozen eggs are generally used through IVF/ICSI after warming. Frozen sperm may be used in IUI, IVF, or ICSI depending on semen parameters and treatment planning.
