Mandatory Tests Before IVF

Before starting IVF treatment, Vitromed specialists review your medical history and required test results to choose the most suitable treatment method and reduce possible health risks.

Medical Examination Before the IVF Cycle

Before starting treatment, you must undergo an initial consultation, during which specialists will determine the scope of the examination, choose a treatment method, and you will be able to discuss with your doctor all the questions you are interested in.
Please note that the examination is conducted in your best interests. A number of studies are mandatory in order to identify hidden pathology and prevent serious health complications.

List of Mandatory Tests and Examinations

In the absence of the above-mentioned test results performed within the specified time frame, IVF treatment is not possible.
A number of studies allow us to clarify the causes of infertility, develop an individual approach to your treatment and ultimately increase the likelihood of pregnancy. The scope of these studies is determined by the doctor individually.
