Pre-treatment screening — the foundation of successful IVF
Before starting any assisted reproductive technology (ART) program — from IVF to donor-assisted cycles — it’s crucial to ensure that the body is ready for conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. Comprehensive medical screening is the starting point that helps identify the causes of infertility, reduce the risk of failed attempts, and choose the most effective treatment strategy. At Alternatyva clinic, we have developed a thoughtful and convenient diagnostic system tailored to the unique situation of each couple.
Includes:
- Contact your coordinator or the clinic’s administration
- Specify the option that suits you
- Sign the contract
Screening before starting the program is like a map for a traveler. Without it, it’s hard to know where to go or what obstacles might arise along the way. This process allows you to:
- Identify hidden issues. Symptoms that seem minor may point to serious underlying conditions. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
- Individualize the treatment plan. Every body is unique. What works for one person might be ineffective for another. Screening helps determine the most suitable approach.
- Ensure safety. Some procedures or protocols have contraindications. Pre-treatment tests help minimize risks and make the process more comfortable and predictable.
For reproductive medicine programs, we offer specialized evaluations for both women and men — these are essential for pregnancy planning.
Screening for women and men
There is a standard list of tests that a woman should complete before starting any infertility treatment program at Alternatyva reproductive medicine clinic. For reproductive evaluation, it is necessary to undergo a gynecological ultrasound and hormonal testing (FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH, prolactin, TSH, and T4). Equally important are tests to assess overall health: general blood work, biochemistry, and coagulation profile, as well as infectious disease screening (HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, TORCH infections, vaginal swabs, and Pap smear). If needed, additional tests may be recommended, such as karyotyping, antiphospholipid antibodies, NK cell levels, ERA test, and hysteroscopy — which helps detect polyps, adhesions, or other abnormalities that may interfere with implantation.
For men, the list of tests is shorter but no less important. A future father should provide a semen sample for the following evaluations: semen analysis, MAR test, general blood tests, and infectious disease screening (HIV, hepatitis, syphilis). If necessary, additional tests such as sperm DNA fragmentation and HLA compatibility testing may also be recommended.
