00:00:01.670 --> 00:00:05.000
The Fertility Center
Karlsruhe in the heart of the city.

00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:10.100
For 27 years, we have been supporting
couples competently and empathetically

00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:13.790
on their journey to having a child of their own.
They come to us

00:00:13.790 --> 00:00:17.810
to actively do something
for their shared dream of having a child.

00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:22.160
They are not alone in their wish,
because one in six marriages

00:00:22.190 --> 00:00:25.190
is involuntarily childless.
A fertility treatment

00:00:25.190 --> 00:00:28.490
begins with a thorough search
for the causes and

00:00:28.490 --> 00:00:31.580
an in-depth consultation with
the couple about their options.

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:35.180
Together with you, we find the
right treatment method to

00:00:35.180 --> 00:00:39.680
fulfill your desire to have a child.
With the most modern

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:43.400
equipment, we try as best as possible
to replicate nature.

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.270
Our team of
biologists and doctors possesses

00:00:47.270 --> 00:00:51.650
the highest level of expertise.
By administering medications

00:00:51.650 --> 00:00:55.880
that are identical to the body's own hormones,
the maturation of multiple eggs

00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.660
in the ovaries is achieved.
These are then gently retrieved

00:00:59.660 --> 00:01:02.920
under anesthesia and combined in the lab
with the partner’s sperm.

00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.730
Carefully monitored by our biologists,

00:01:06.730 --> 00:01:09.760
the embryos then spend
five days in the lab.

00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:14.470
They are then often transferred
in the blastocyst stage using a soft

00:01:14.470 --> 00:01:19.960
catheter into the uterus.
Two weeks after the embryo transfer,

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:22.870
we can use a blood test to determine

00:01:22.870 --> 00:01:26.650
whether a pregnancy exists.
Just one week later, we already see

00:01:26.650 --> 00:01:30.280
a visible gestational sac in the uterus, and already

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.460
a week after that, you and your partner can

00:01:33.460 --> 00:01:38.650
see your baby's heartbeat.
Our work ends here, and

00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:41.530
you return to your trusted gynecologist

00:01:41.530 --> 00:01:47.800
for further pregnancy care.
We look forward

00:01:47.800 --> 00:01:52.240
to accompanying you on your journey.
When life begins,

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:54.940
accept it as a gift!
