Examination and Treatment of Infertility

  • You can book a fertility examination preventively if you wish to understand your future options, for example through AMH testing or a semen analysis, even if you are not currently planning to start a family. An examination is also recommended if pregnancy has not occurred despite trying. A consultation is advisable if a woman has an irregular cycle or other gynecological issues, or if there are concerns about male fertility.

  • The causes of infertility can be very diverse and are often combined. In women, the most common causes include ovulation disorders, reduced ovarian reserve, endometriosis, or blocked fallopian tubes. A woman’s age also plays a significant role, as egg quality declines over time. In men, infertility is often related to reduced sperm quality or quantity. In a certain percentage of cases, no clear cause can be identified — this is referred to as unexplained infertility.

  • Infertility is not a problem of just one partner, but a shared challenge for a couple. Statistics show that in approximately one-third of cases the cause lies with the woman, in one-third with the man, and in the remaining cases it is a combination of factors affecting both partners or an unexplained cause. The diagnostic journey therefore begins with both partners, as fertility is always the result of two people.

  • Before starting treatment, you will undergo basic examinations that vary depending on your sex and individual situation. For women, this primarily includes a gynecological examination, including a vaginal ultrasound, and hormonal testing to determine AMH, TSH, and prolactin levels. For men, the basic examination is a semen analysis. Based on the doctor’s recommendation, diagnostics may be further extended to include advanced sperm quality testing, such as DNA fragmentation and oxidative stress assessment.

  • Yes, fertility testing can be performed without a partner. This applies, for example, to women who wish to assess their current fertility status, are considering postponing motherhood, or are thinking about egg freezing (social freezing). The examination provides important information about fertility and helps the doctor recommend the most appropriate next steps. Any subsequent treatment always follows applicable legislation and the patient’s individual situation.

  • If your test results are normal but pregnancy still does not occur, you are not alone. In a significant percentage of cases, it is not possible to identify one specific cause of infertility. In such situations, we are here to help you explore ways to increase your chances of conception. Based on a comprehensive evaluation, the doctor will recommend the most suitable approach or assisted reproduction method to support you on your journey toward parenthood.

  • If the examination results show a less favorable condition, the doctor will discuss everything with you sensitively and propose the next steps. This may involve lifestyle adjustments, targeted treatment, or assisted reproduction methods. Thanks to our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, we can thoroughly analyze key biological processes and support treatment with appropriate laboratory techniques. Every treatment plan is created individually.

  • According to Czech law, a woman may undergo treatment up to the day before her 49th birthday. In practice, the individual health condition and the doctor’s recommendation are always taken into consideration.

  • At Unica Clinic, IVF treatment is generally recommended for patients with a BMI up to 35, as body weight may influence both the course and safety of treatment. There is no BMI limit for treatment using donor cells.
    However, each case is assessed individually, and we always strive to find the most suitable solution for the patient.

  • There are no waiting times at Unica Clinic. IVF treatment can begin immediately after the initial consultation, typically with the next menstrual cycle, according to the individual treatment plan and the patient’s health condition.

  • A semen analysis is a basic examination of male fertility that evaluates sperm count, motility, and morphology. The test is performed using a semen sample and is quick and painless. Before the examination, the patient will receive detailed preparation instructions.

  • The ideal period of sexual abstinence before a semen analysis is usually 2 to 3 days. This ensures the most accurate test results.

  • In most cases, it is possible to bring a semen sample from home or a hotel, provided that the correct transport time and storage conditions are maintained. The clinic will always provide precise instructions to ensure the sample is suitable for examination.

  • Fertility treatment options in the Czech Republic are governed by current legislation, which limits treatment for single women and same-sex couples. However, at Unica Clinic, we believe that every path to parenthood is unique. As the only clinic in the Czech Republic, we offer free transportation of eggs frozen through social freezing to our partner clinic in Spain, where treatment options — including single motherhood and the ROPA method — are legally available. We will gladly assist you with all necessary arrangements and support you on your journey toward your dream of having a baby.

  • Marriage is not a requirement for IVF treatment. It is important to meet the legal conditions, particularly the age limit and the fact that the treatment is provided to a heterosexual couple, along with the informed consent of both partners for the selected type of treatment.

General Questions about IVF

  • IVF, or in vitro fertilization, is a method of infertility treatment in which an egg is fertilized by sperm in an embryology laboratory outside the woman’s body. This method is suitable for couples who are unable to conceive naturally, for example in cases of ovulation disorders, reduced sperm quality, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility. IVF is also used in cases of genetic risk or when donor reproductive cells are part of the treatment.

  • IVF treatment consists of several consecutive stages. It begins with initial examinations and preparation of an individualized treatment plan, followed by hormonal stimulation, egg retrieval, and fertilization in the laboratory. The embryos are then cultured, and one selected embryo is transferred into the uterus. The entire process is always tailored to the couple’s individual situation and may vary in detail and duration. Remaining embryos are subsequently frozen and stored for future attempts.

  • The number of clinic visits varies depending on the type of treatment and the individual course. We tailor the treatment to each patient’s needs, so it is not necessary to stay near the clinic for the entire duration of the process. By prior arrangement, some ultrasound scans and follow-up examinations can also be carried out in your place of residence.

  • For legislative reasons, selecting the baby’s sex for non-medical purposes is not permitted in the Czech Republic. The only exception applies in cases where sex selection is part of the prevention of a serious sex-linked genetic disorder and is based on a medical indication.

  • One possible complication of ovarian hormonal stimulation is the so-called ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which represents an excessive or disproportionate response of the ovaries to stimulation. The ovaries may continue to react to the medication even after the treatment has ended and after egg retrieval. They remain enlarged, and the woman may experience lower abdominal pressure and a feeling of bloating or fullness.

    In such cases, the patient attends follow-up visits and may receive intravenous infusions to help improve the condition. In most cases, the excessive ovarian response resolves spontaneously. According to the literature, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome affects approximately 1–2% of patients. Importantly, OHSS does not compromise a woman’s future fertility.

  • Treatment expenses at Unica differ according to treatment type and may be different for every individual couple depending on their situation. Our coordinators and doctors will gladly inform you about treatment types and their pricing. If your treatment is eligible for insurance reimbursement, our in house team will prepare all the requisite documentation which can be completed directly by the insurance company itself.

    We are happy to provide you with a price quote after we receive preliminary information about what your treatment at Unica may entail.

Stimulation and Medication

  • Hormonal stimulation begins at the start of the menstrual cycle (on day 2 of menstruation) according to an individualized treatment plan that we will carefully set up for you at the clinic. Before stimulation begins, a follow-up ultrasound is performed to ensure there are no contraindications to starting treatment. The stimulation itself usually continues until around day 14 of the cycle, when egg retrieval takes place. During stimulation, you will undergo 1–2 follow-up ultrasound examinations, based on which the doctor determines the exact timing of egg retrieval.

  • The injections can be safely administered at home. They are designed for simple application, and a nurse will clearly explain and demonstrate the process, so you will know exactly how to proceed. If you do not feel confident, your partner or a close person can assist you. If needed, we can also provide a video tutorial.

  • The medications are usually injected subcutaneously, typically into the abdominal area or thigh, and at the same time each day to maintain stable hormone levels. The exact timing and injection site may vary depending on the treatment type, so it is important to follow the specific instructions provided by our team and the information leaflet of the prescribed medication.

  • Yes, you can travel while using stimulation medication, but it is important to ensure proper storage and timing of doses. Some medications require refrigeration, while others are stable at room temperature, so it is essential to check the recommendations for the specific drug. When traveling by air, it is advisable to carry the medication in your hand luggage and ideally have a confirmation letter from the clinic to avoid any stress.

  • If you make a mistake while administering the medication, stay calm and contact your coordinator. She will help resolve the situation quickly and arrange the next steps in consultation with the doctor or nurse. In most cases, the treatment can be easily adjusted so that it can continue without complications.

  • Hormonal stimulation does not negatively affect the long-term ovarian reserve. In each menstrual cycle, multiple follicles naturally begin to develop, but without hormonal support, most of them would not mature. Stimulation simply supports this natural process and allows a greater number of eggs to mature within a single cycle. It does not reduce the future egg supply or compromise fertility.

  • Ovarian stimulation has been used in fertility treatment for over 30 years. All around the world, teams of doctors have been trying to verify whether this stimulation increases the risk of tumorous diseases in ovaries. The largest and most wide ranging study took place in Israel and lasted over 20 years. The outcome of this study as well as all other existing studies indicate that there is no increased risk of tumorous diseases from using hormonal ovarian stimulation.

    Ovarian stimulation is considered to be a safe medical procedure, which does not influence a woman’s health or fertility.

Egg Retrieval

  • Egg retrieval is a short medical procedure that follows hormonal stimulation. Using a thin needle inserted through the vaginal wall, the doctor collects follicular fluid from the ovaries containing the follicles (which hold the eggs). The collected fluid is immediately handed over to the embryologists for the next steps of treatment. The procedure is routine and performed by an experienced team with maximum emphasis on the patient’s safety and comfort. It takes approximately 10 minutes.

  • Egg retrieval is not painful because it is performed under short general anesthesia (without intubation). During the procedure, the patient does not feel any pain. Afterward, mild lower abdominal discomfort or a feeling of pressure similar to a stronger menstrual period may occur. These symptoms usually subside quickly and can be well managed with common pain relievers.

  • On the day of egg retrieval, the stay at the clinic usually lasts several hours. After the procedure, there is a short recovery period (approximately 2–3 hours) under medical supervision to ensure that the patient feels well and can safely leave. The exact duration may vary depending on the individual course and type of anesthesia.

  • For egg retrieval, you need to bring a valid identification document (passport or ID card). We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and bringing basic personal and hygiene items. After the procedure, it is necessary to arrange for someone to accompany you and safely drive or escort you home or back to your hotel. The clinic will provide all additional necessary information and individual instructions in advance to ensure you feel calm and well prepared.

Embryology and Embryo Transfer

  • Egg fertilization takes place in the embryology laboratory after retrieval. The eggs are first prepared and then fertilized using the ICSI method (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), during which the embryologist selects a single high-quality sperm and injects it directly into the egg. After fertilization, embryologists carefully monitor the proper development of the embryos.

  • Embryos are cultured in the embryology laboratory for several days, most commonly until day 5 of development, when they reach the blastocyst stage. This extended culture period allows for the natural selection of embryos with the highest developmental potential and increases the chance of successful implantation in the uterus. Throughout the entire culture period, embryos are kept in an incubator and monitored continuously, 24 hours a day.

  • Embryo transfer is a short and painless procedure during which a selected blastocyst-stage embryo is placed into the uterus using a thin, soft catheter inserted through the cervix. It is most commonly performed on day 5 of embryo development. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes, does not require anesthesia, and after a short rest, the patient may return home or travel by plane. Pregnancy is confirmed by a blood test 14 days after the transfer.

  • We follow the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), which prioritize single embryo transfer. Transferring two embryos does not increase the overall chance of achieving a successful pregnancy but does increase the risk of multiple pregnancy, which carries higher health risks and physical burden for both the mother and the babies. If a couple fully understands these risks and there are no medical contraindications, it is possible—after individual consultation—to transfer a maximum of two embryos.

  • Most women describe embryo transfer as slightly uncomfortable but not painful, very similar to a gynecological examination. Mild pressure or brief lower abdominal cramps may occur, but intense pain is uncommon. If the patient has concerns, everything can be discussed in advance with the clinic team to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.

  • Yes, the partner can be present during embryo transfer and provide support during this important moment of treatment. Being together often helps create a sense of calm and reassurance.

  • Bed rest or hospitalization is not required after embryo transfer, and you may travel home the same day. We recommend maintaining a calm routine, avoiding excessive physical exertion, and listening to your body. It is always important to follow your doctor’s individual recommendations.

Treatment with Donor Eggs and Sperm

  • Unica began offering oocyte donation treatment in 2003. As such, we have a long-standing and successful experience with this procedure.

  • Act no. 373/2011 Sb., regarding Specific Care Services, states that reproductive cells must be donated by an anonymous male/female for fertility treatment.

    A clinic authorized to offer methods and procedures in assisted reproduction, is obligated to ensure the maintenance of mutual anonymity between a donor and an infertile couple and between a donor and a child born thanks to the assisted reproduction treatment. A clinic that has performed health eligibility in an anonymous donor is obligated to store the data about the health condition of the donor for the period of 30 years since the fertility treatment. The clinic is obligated to issue information about donor health condition to an infertile couple or a person in legally full age born based on assisted reproduction treatment while following the anonymity principle.

    Donation is thus fully anonymous in the Czech Republic whereby the Law simultaneously sets criteria for all potential donors. Unica’s internal rules for donor selection are however considerably stricter compared to those set by the Law – Unica only allows women aged between 18 to 33 years of age (they are typically university students - for more information, see question “Who is an egg donor at Unica clinic”) compared to 35 years old which is the upper age limit set by Czech law.

  • Most often the patients are women who do not produce quality eggs naturally. That being said, recipients of donated eggs may also be:
    - Women who repetitively went through treatment using IVF methods and no quality eggs were retrieved or only non-quality embryos developed.
    - Women who are in an age category where statistics show they currently produce only lower quality eggs unable of being fertilized, or emerged embryos are defective and unable of perfect development.
    - Women whose ovaries were not developed or were removed during surgery.
    - Women who suffered from premature ovarian failure (menopause) and no longer menstruate.
    - Women who have undergone genetic testing and are shown to possess a chromosomal defect that may be transmitted to an offspring.

    In the Czech Republic, woman may undergo fertility treatment up until the date of their 49th birthday.

  • Unica has a dedicated donor center conveniently located in Prague where donor examinations are taken place and donors are selected.

    Donor selection respects physical features including eye and hair color. Above all, we try to respect all individual requests of our patients to the extent possible, such as a particular talent, character, education etc.

    Based on these requests we usually select 3 to 4 of the most suitable donors from our database from which the patients ultimately make their final decision. The donor selection process is thus a collaborative process between Unica and the patient.

    Oocyte donation is legal in the Czech Republic in which donation must be fully anonymous (for more information, see “What does the Czech legislature say about the egg donation treatment?”).

    During donor selection and treatment planning, the patient’s coordinator is present and always available to communicate and answer question in the patients language of preference.

  • Receiving a treatment from Unica usually requires 2 visits:
    - Visit by the male partner to collect sperm. This visit occurs on the day the oocyte is retrieved from the egg donor. Presence of the female partner is not necessary for this visit.
    - Visit by the female recipient for transfer of the embryo, after the embryo has been cultivated for several days (typically 5 days). The male partner does not necessarily need to be present for this visit.

    It is possible to organize to visit the clinic for a consultation before the beginning of the treatment. This visit is not mandatory and can be done by phone or videoconference. If the consultation takes place in person, the sperm sample of the partner can be cryopreserved. The advantage of this is that it is not necessary to travel to the clinic on day of the ovarian puncture in the donor.

    The typical visit of our patients involves a weeklong trip to the Czech Republic. The male usually donates his sperm at the beginning of this week and then return to the clinic 3-5 days later to transfer the embryo into the female patient. During these 3-5 days (in between sperm collection and embryo transfer) there are various techniques that can be applied to increase the chances of success of becoming pregnant.

  • Treatment using donor eggs can be started immediately, without any waiting time. Thanks to our long-term experience with oocyte donation and our reputation of providing the best possible donor care (for more information, see question “Who is the donor?”) we have a sufficient amount of young women registered in our donor database who are willing to help immediately. These donors are properly tested and ready to be paired with a matching recipient to ensure their availability and eligibility to become donors.

  • Since the embryos originate from oocytes obtained from young women, the success rates are very high, even during the first cycle. The cumulative success rate in the first complete Egg Donation treatment cycle at UNICA stands at 70% (1st fresh transfer plus additional cryo-transfers from same fertilization) and 97% from 3 complete cycles.

  • Ovarian stimulation of the donor is synchronized with the preparation of the mom to-be. All matured eggs obtained from one donor are granted to one recipient. In the laboratory, the eggs are then fertilized with the recipient’s partner’s sperm, which is done using the most modern and safe techniques available in the industry. After several days, an embryo is transferred into the uterus of the expecting mom who then carries her pregnancy until the day she gives birth.

  • The word hormone already causes fear and concerns in many women –it may be fear of weight gain, cancer, or other unpredictable and undesirable effects. This is the reason why it is so important to clarify that an adverse influence on a woman may be caused by oestrogens, which are not used during ovarian stimulation. Oestrogens directly influence mammary glands in the breast and a uterine lining, thus the menstrual cycle. In some circumstances, a tumorous growth in these tissues may be provoked. Other hormones do not pose any danger to women. During our ovarian stimulation, women do not receive any oestrogens.

    In a natural menstrual cycle, an oocyte maturates in a tiny sac, so-called follicle, under an influence of the pituitary hormone FSH – follicle-stimulating hormone. The growing follicle produces the female hormone oestradiol. The oestradiol influences uterine lining growth. When a follicle reaches size of about 25mm, it ruptures and an egg is released, ovulation takes place while oestrogen production stops. The oestradiol level thus drops and in some women the oestradiol drop may co-occur with a slight spotting. A ruptured follicle forms a corpus luteum, which produces progesterone, a hormone present in the second half of the menstrual cycle.

    In order to obtain oocytes during ovarian stimulation for an in vitro fertilization imitates the natural menstrual cycle. Ovaries are just stimulated by a higher amount of FSH in order to support maturation of more oocytes. 

  • Recipients are treated with the appropriate amount of oestrogen with special attention given to their uterine lining. There is no stimulation treatment. Hormonal doses and medicine are tailored to each individual patient. We look to replicate as close as possible the woman’s natural process. Preparation of every patient is tailored based on individual needs in order to prepare the endometrium to be as healthy as possible for the transfer.

  • All eggs obtained from the donor are given to the matching recipient. We always pair one recipient with one donor. Typically, this represents between 10 to 12 mature eggs. Following fertilization, the embryos are cultivated in the laboratory via a treatment known as prolonged cultivation.

    During the five-day cultivation, most defective embryos typically stop developing which leaves only the healthiest embryos ready and available for transfer and which have the highest chances for successful development.

  • Donor eggs are fertilized with sperm provided by the recipient’s partner on the day of the ovarian puncture in the donor. However, the partner can have his sperm cells frozen and stored at our cryobank, in which case he does not need to come on the day of the puncture. In the case sperm cells have been frozen, they are then thawed and used for egg fertilization. The recipient arrives at the clinic directly for the embryo transfer. To keep the chances of pregnancy as high as possible, individual eggs are fertilized with the selected sperm using the ICSI method. If sperm analysis indicates additional complications, our doctors may recommend using PICSI or IMSI, which are two special fertilization methods which can increase the chances of pregnancy.

  • Embryos are developed for 5 days and are transferred on that same day into the uterus of the recipient. In the large majority of cases, we transfer one embryo, but have the ability to transfer up to a maximum of two embryos.

  • We recommend that you change as little as possible in your daily routine after embryo transfer. There is no indication or proof that bed rest increases the chances of treatment success. Our clinic does, however, recommend 3 days of decreased physical activity (no sports, no intercourse etc.)

  • It is always the couple being treated who decides on how many embryos are to be transferred. We typically transfer one embryo. If the couple wishes we can transfer up to two embryos (in the case 2 embryos are transferred there is the possibility of having twins).

  • It is possible to freeze non-transferred embryos, if the number “healthy embryos” on day 5 allows for it. This process of cryopreserving embryos is known as vitrification. If the first transfer is not successful, the couple may have a second transfer from the original cycle using embryos that were initially frozen.

After Embryo Transfer

  • After embryo transfer, the embryo gradually hatches from its outer shell during the first few days in the uterus and prepares to implant into the uterine lining. If implantation is successful, the body begins producing the pregnancy hormone hCG, and the typical changes of early pregnancy gradually begin. Some women may experience mild lower abdominal discomfort, breast tenderness, fatigue, or light spotting, while others may feel nothing at all—both situations are completely normal. Symptoms alone are not a reliable indicator of whether pregnancy has occurred.

  • A pregnancy test should be performed according to your doctor’s recommendation, usually no earlier than 14 days after embryo transfer. A blood test measuring hCG levels is the most accurate method. A home urine test may show a false negative result if performed too early and, in some cases, may also be influenced by medication. Therefore, it is always best to follow the clinic’s instructions.

  • The first ultrasound examination is usually scheduled approximately 2 to 3 weeks after a positive blood test, around the 6th to 7th week of pregnancy. At this stage, it is typically possible to confirm that the pregnancy is correctly located in the uterus, check the gestational sac, and often detect a heartbeat. An ultrasound performed too early may cause unnecessary stress, as some structures may not yet be visible.

  • The duration of medication use is individual, but it usually continues at least until pregnancy is confirmed and typically until the 10th to 12th week of pregnancy, when the placenta takes over the production of necessary hormones. Any adjustment or discontinuation of medication is always decided by the doctor based on follow-up results.

Genetic Testing

  • The PANDA test is a modern genetic screening performed from the blood of prospective parents to assess the risk of passing hereditary genetic disorders on to their child. There are several variants of the test, which differ in the number of genes analyzed. The basic version focuses on the most common serious autosomal recessive disorders, while the extended versions can screen for hundreds of genetic diseases. The choice of a specific variant always depends on the couple’s individual situation, family history, and the doctor’s recommendation.

  • Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is used to verify the correct number of chromosomes in an embryo and to detect possible chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidies). This test helps select embryos with the highest developmental potential and reduces the risk of implantation failure, miscarriage, or serious congenital conditions such as Down syndrome. It is most commonly recommended for women using their own eggs, especially those over the age of 35.

  • Embryo biopsy, during which a small number of cells are removed for genetic testing, is now considered a safe and routine procedure. It is performed at an early stage of embryo development and, thanks to modern laboratory techniques, does not negatively affect further development or the embryo’s ability to implant in the uterus. The risk of damage to the embryo is very low, below one percent.

  • Genetic testing of embryos (PGT-A) significantly contributes to improving IVF success rates. It enables the selection of embryos with the highest potential for implantation and healthy development, thereby increasing the likelihood of pregnancy while reducing the risk of miscarriage. It is most commonly recommended for women over 35 years of age. For many couples, genetic testing provides greater reassurance, confidence in decision-making, and a higher chance of having a healthy baby.

Social Freezing

  • Social freezing is a modern method that allows women to preserve their eggs for future parenthood. It is primarily intended for women who plan to have children later but wish to maintain the highest possible quality of their reproductive cells. This option is most often chosen by women who are currently focusing on their careers, studies, or who have not yet found a suitable partner. Social freezing may also be appropriate for women who want greater reassurance for the future and more control over their family planning.

  • The ideal time for egg freezing is generally at a younger age, ideally between 25 and 35 years, when egg quality is highest and the future potential for successful pregnancy is greater. For sperm, the age limit is not as strict; however, it still applies that the earlier sperm is frozen, the better its potential quality may be. It is important to emphasize that social freezing is not about postponing parenthood at any cost, but about creating an opportunity and a form of reassurance for the future.

  • The social freezing process consists of several steps. For women, it begins with an initial consultation, hormonal testing, and a vaginal ultrasound. Based on these results, the doctor creates an individualized stimulation plan. This is followed by short hormonal stimulation lasting approximately 10–12 days, aimed at maturing multiple eggs within a single cycle. Around day 14 of the cycle, the eggs are retrieved under short anesthesia and immediately frozen using the vitrification method.
    For men, the process is simpler – after an initial examination, a semen sample is collected and frozen.

  • The number of eggs recommended for freezing is individual and mainly depends on the woman’s age and how many children she plans to have in the future. Generally, freezing at least 20 eggs is recommended to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy later on. The doctor will always propose a personalized solution based on the patient’s specific situation.

  • Up to 95% of eggs survive the thawing process in good quality, and the chances of pregnancy through IVF treatment are comparable to those achieved with fresh eggs. The key factor influencing success is primarily the woman’s age at the time of freezing, rather than her age at the time she decides to use the frozen eggs.

About Unica Clinic

  • At Unica Clinic, patients are supported throughout their entire treatment journey by a personal coordinator who serves as their main point of contact. She helps organize care, explains each step of the treatment process, and is always available whenever patients need support or additional information.

    To ensure the consultation is as beneficial as possible, it is necessary to provide medical test results in advance. The coordinator will guide the couple on which results are required, assist in obtaining them, and prepare the medical documentation for the doctor. She will also arrange the consultation appointment, either in person at the clinic or online.

    During the consultation itself, the doctor thoroughly evaluates the patient’s or couple’s health status, reproductive history, and individual situation. Based on this information, a personalized treatment plan is proposed and subsequently implemented in close cooperation between the doctor, embryologists, and the coordinator.

  • Unica Clinic has been specializing in assisted reproduction since 1991. That year, our first clinic was established in Brno as the first private IVF center in the Czech Republic.
