CIRIS International Reproductive Institute
Clinic IVF - ET
We are very proud that two Hungarian Presidents, a Medical University, and the American Hungarian Foundation have recognized our successful clinical and research work and professionalism. In fact, we are now responsible for close to 2% of the annual natural population growth in Hungary. Because of our "valuable contribution to society" the following high honors have been bestowed upon us.
Is it possible to join the infertility examination or treatment without anxiety, fear or shame? Is it possible that the Reproduction Center will not examine and heal only a few square inches of the body, but the whole person? Is there any possibility, while the operating rooms and the laboratories are equipped with the latest high-tech, to talk to the doctor or nurse for an hour? Is it possible to avoid crowded anteroom, but to wait in a sunny, convenient lobby where contemporary artists' paintings hang on the wall and a cup of coffee is offered? Is it possible after the discussion of the physical problems, to receive behavioral advice from an experienced psychologist in infertility field? Is it possible to ask a relaxing and refreshing massage after all this?
OUR ANSWER IS: YES!
Our intention is not to set up records in the number of the stimulated oocytes. Our aim is not to create Twins, Triplets or higher pregnancies in the spirit of to have "success at any cost". Our aim is not to make the patients' therapy as one of the worst experience in their life. Our goal is a friendly, human, personalized infertility treatment and healing, where "both sides" are equal, and the people discuss their problems and make common decisions. That is the reason why we work and learn every day, and use the most modern techniques, hoping that couples who ask for our help will discover the greatest miracle of life: the happiness of a child's birth.

Female work-up:
We perform the entire infertility work-up on site, which involves an initial consultation, hormonal measurements, ultrasound studies, hysterosalpingography (if needed), hysteroscopy (if necessary), and genetic testing (when indicated).Hysterosalpingography and Hysteroscopy:
Male work-up:
The entire male work-up is performed on site as well. The initial step is a semen analysis. If needed we proceed with hormonal, genetic and bacteriologic evaluation. The physical exam and more invasive tests (e.g.: biopsy) are performed by our own andrologist who is a specialist in male infertility.Genetic testing:
We offer genetic testing to couples with recurrent pregnancy loss, repeated implantation failure, or when the obstetric or family history is suggestive of genetic abnormality. Under such circumstances we obtain a karyotype (number and structure of the chromosomes) from both partners.Immunologic testing:
Immunologic testing is offered to couples with recurrent pregnancy loss. We look for abnormalities of the thyroid gland, certain hematologic problems and the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies.Uterine cavity evaluation:
We evaluate the uterine cavity prior to the first IVF cycle or if any surgical intervention involving the uterus has happened since the last assessment. In addition, we examine the cavity if the obstetric history or ultrasound findings are suggestive of an abnormality. We primarily use ultrasound for the evaluation, but if needed, we also perform hysteroscopy. During the ultrasound study a small amount of sterile physiologic saline solution is infused into the cavity to better outline any pathology (saline sonohysterogram).Intrauterine insemination (IUI):
IUI is offered as the first line of treatment to couples with unexplained, immunologic, mild male factor infertility as well as to those with early stages of endometriosis. For couples with the above-mentioned problems when the woman is over 40 years of age we recommend standard IVF treatment.In vitro fertilization (IVF):
We offer IVF to couples with tubal factor infertility, male factor infertility, severe endometriosis or when other treatments have failed. We also recommend IVF as the first line treatment to women over the age of 40 years.Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI):
ICSI is offered to couples with severe male factor infertility, with poor fertilization in prior cycles, and entering treatment following failed insemination cycles. We also use surgically obtained sperm for ICSI (TESE: testicular sperm extraction).Assisted hatching (AHA):
AHA is a laboratory procedure performed on the embryo. With a gentle laser we create a small opening in the layer surrounding the embryo thereby facilitating hatching and implantation. We offer AHA to women over 35 years, to those with 2 or more previous IVF failures, when the layer surrounding the embryo is too thick and in frozen embryo transfer cycle.Blastocyst culture:
Most of our transfers have traditionally been on day 3, but we increasingly use day 5-6 (blastocyst stage) embryo transfer to improve outcome. We use several stimulation protocols to best meet your needs.CIRIS INSTITUTE in Budapest
