Drs. Michael Vermesh and Tannaz Toloubeydokhti offer IVF to help address a variety of fertility concerns. Explore how IVF at the Center for Fertility and Gynecology in Los Angeles, CA, can help you achieve your dreams of parenthood.
What Is IVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method of assisted reproductive technology (ART). IVF can allow patients struggling with infertility to achieve their dreams of building a family.
During in vitro fertilization, eggs from the mother or donor are combined with sperm from the father or donor. Frozen sperm and eggs can also be used. The resulting embryo is transferred to the mother or surrogate's uterus. Any extra embryos can be frozen for use in another IVF cycle.

Types of IVF
Our fertility experts offer several types of IVF at our Los Angeles area clinics to meet your unique needs. IVF treatment options include traditional IVF, mini IVF, and natural IVF.
Mini IVF
Mini IVF is also known as minimal stimulation IVF. This means a lower dose of stimulation medications is used to produce fewer high-quality eggs. Typically, 1-6 eggs are collected during mini IVF.
Natural IVF
Natural IVF involves following the woman's natural menstrual cycle and retrieving only the egg or eggs her body naturally produces. Fewer medications are used than other IVF methods.
Who Can IVF Help?
IVF can help patients struggling with a variety of fertility concerns, including those with:
There are a range of conditions that can prevent the uterus or fallopian tubes from functioning properly, which can interfere with ovulation and fertilization.
In some cases, testing cannot identify the cause of infertility. For many couples with unexplained infertility, IVF provides a solution. In vitro fertilization is also a great reproductive option for patients who have been unsuccessful with other fertility treatments.

I would highly recommend The Center for Fertility and Gynecology for IVF fertility treatments. I was referred to them by a friend and every step of the process was smooth and I felt very cared for. I rarely had to wait longer than 10 minutes to be seen for my appointments and everyone at the clinic was professional and friendly. Dr. Vermesh made me feel comfortable and he and the nursing team explained everything thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions About IVF
Q. I had egg freezing performed. Can I use my frozen eggs during an IVF cycle?
A. Many patients choose to undergo egg freezing as a fertility preservation method. Patients who have previously undergone IVF can also choose to freeze extra eggs or embryos for later IVF cycles.
Q. What's the difference between conventional fertilization and ICSI, and which will I need?
A. Conventional fertilization involves placing an egg in a petri dish and combining it with sperm, allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg on its own. This process is closer to natural conception. ICSI, in contrast, is often recommended when there is a male-factor fertility issue impacting sperm quality or motility. With ICSI, a healthy-looking sperm is chosen and injected directly into the egg. The best type of fertilization will depend on your unique situation.
Q. Are there any risks when undergoing IVF?
A. IVF is a safe and effective procedure, but it is not without risks. It is important for patients to understand these risks before undergoing treatment. In addition to standard surgical risks, there is also the chance of ectopic pregnancy, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and miscarriage.

I had a wonderful experience. The staff is kind, helpful, and easy to get ahold of. Dr. Tolou is knowledgeable and so sweet. She even gave me an impromptu, quick ultrasound because she saw I was anxious at my intralipid IV appointment. She’s just the best. Bittersweet that I left them after 8 weeks! Now I’m 15 weeks and thankful to God for doctors and staff like them.
