IVF is a path we walk together

A journey designed around you

IVF has helped millions of people build the families they dreamed of—especially when other paths didn’t lead there. By combining eggs and sperm outside the body, IVF offers the highest success rates. At Terra, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process, with care that’s as personal as your journey.

Is IVF right for you?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) can offer a path to parenthood for many who have not been successful with other fertility treatments or who are facing specific reproductive challenges.

Though testing alone can determine the right choice for you, IVF is often recommended for individuals experiencing:

  • Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
  • Male infertility (low sperm count or motility)
  • Unexplained infertility
  • Age-related infertility (especially women over 35)
  • Endometriosis
  • Recurrent miscarriages
  • Genetic issues or risk factors
  • Fertility preservation (freezing eggs or embryos for a future pregnancy)

Focused on what matters most: Success

Expert guidance, advanced testing, and personalized care to give you the best chance at a healthy pregnancy.

At Terra Fertility, we know that IVF success rates vary greatly depending on several factors. Generally, women under 35 have a very good chance of success with IVF, while the rate can be lower for women over 40. Using high-quality, genetically tested embryos can help improve these odds, and we’re here to guide you through every step to give you the best possible outcome.
