Embryology services

Ovation Fertility Nashville embryologists combine their specialized knowledge with advanced technologies and procedures to care for your most precious assets: eggs, sperm and embryos.

A valued extension of any Tennessee fertility center’s IVF team, embryologists play a critical role in nurturing new life. Their specialized services include:

• Fertilization of retrieved eggs by combining them with sperm or injecting sperm directly into the egg using intracytoplasmic sperm injection, or ICSI
• Culturing, monitoring and grading of fertilized eggs as they grow, and selecting the best-quality embryo for transfer to the uterus
• Laser-assisted hatching of embryos to increase the chances of implantation into the uterine lining
• Embryo freezing, storage and thawing, giving hopeful parents multiple chances to transfer embryos without a repeat IVF cycle
• Embryo biopsy and preimplantation genetic screening of embryos for chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy) that can cause recurrent miscarriages or IVF failure
• Egg freezing (vitrification) for women who wish to preserve their fertility for medical or lifestyle reasons, allowing them to use their own younger, healthier eggs when they are ready to become mothers

The Tennessee IVF lab facility is equipped with the latest equipment and materials to replicate the biochemical conditions of a woman’s reproductive system, creating the ideal environment for fertilization and embryo growth. Our embryologists have mastered the art of simulating natural conception in the laboratory, using proven techniques and cultures to create a nurturing environment that gives embryos the best chance at life.
