Several eggs are extracted from the mother by our doctors, sperm is supplied by the father.

The father's sperm is used to fertilize the mother's eggs in our lab.

After 5 days, several advanced embryos will have developed.

Our doctor-scientist specialists examine the genetic makeup of the embryos, screening for genetic diseases and optionally, desired gender and eye color.

Your tested embryos are either: cryopreserved (frozen) while we await full genetic reports on each of the tested embryos OR continued in culture for one additional day with our "same day results" option*

If same day results are chosen (Los Angeles full genetics only, and not available with eye color add-on), 6 days after your eggs are harvested, you return to receive your screened, tested and chosen embryo(s).

Depending upon your selection of additional genetic tests (*eye color or specific known genetic disease you carry) two to eight weeks later, full genetic reports on the embryos are received and arrangements are made for your return for 1-2 days to receive your screened, chosen embryo(s).

Gestation and birth take place as normal.
