No matter what stage of the process you are in, we recognise that having any fertility investigation or therapy performed can be intimidating. For this reason, we place a high priority on our patients’ psychological health.

Fembryo’s dedication towards the well-being of our patients and personal attention is rewarded by the successful treatment of patients. Every member of the team is passionate about contributing to our patients’ lives. Our Gqeberha/Port Elizabeth fertility clinic is the only one of its kind serving the southern parts of South Africa.

Since the first IVF baby was born in 1978, there have been dramatic improvements in success rates due to new technologies and safer practices.

Worldwide specific stimulation protocols have allowed us to get more eggs and, therefore, more embryos without an increased risk of overstimulation. Because of advances in embryo culture, we can now keep embryos alive longer and better evaluate and choose which ones to keep.

We also have more advanced tools, like PGT, which is a genetic test done on the embryo so that we can choose embryos with normal genes and the best possible outcome.

The knowledge of where you stand and the specific problems affecting your fertility is perhaps the biggest advantage of all of our gyneacological endoscopic services.

Genetic testing of a Blastocyst (a day 5 embryo) can be performed to test for abnormalities, especially in patients with recurrent implantation failure, previous recurrent pregnancy loss or in cases of older women (>37 years) to reduce the risk of carrying an abnormal fetus and then being faced with the difficult decision regarding whether to continue with the pregnancy or not (PGT-a).
