25 Years of GYNCARE: 25% Off ICSI and IUI

Delaying parenthood is a natural consequence of modern societal shifts, such as extended education, later financial independence, and career building. Human biology, however, does not adapt to these lifestyle changes.

Even a healthy couple under the age of 30 has only about a 20–25% chance of spontaneous conception per menstrual cycle. Approximately 80–85% of couples will achieve pregnancy within one year of regular, unprotected intercourse.

If pregnancy does not occur within this timeframe, the probability of conceiving naturally decreases, making professional diagnosis and treatment increasingly important. Did you know that as a Slovak health insurance policyholder, you can book a free initial consultation at GYNCARE in Bratislava, Nitra, or Košice?

“Reproductive medicine technologies are incredibly advanced, but they cannot cure aging. That is a crucial message we need to communicate very openly,” explains Assoc. Prof. Silvia Toporcerová, PhD.

Data from GYNCARE reflects this changing patient profile: more than 60% of female patients are over the age of 35, and more than 25% are over 40.

The challenge of getting pregnant increases dramatically after 35

Every couple is unique. Infertility is often a combined issue affecting both partners, which is why it requires a comprehensive evaluation and an individualized approach. Modern reproductive medicine can help more than 90% of couples achieve their dream of having a baby.

Even an unsuccessful IVF cycle does not mean the end of your chances. In many cases, there are further options available.

If treatment using your own germ cells is not possible or repeatedly fails, the donor program can provide a solution. It is a medically standard and highly successful method.

The donor program is designed for couples facing a total absence of sperm, ovarian failure, or a significantly reduced quality of germ cells.

Advanced age is also associated with a more complex clinical presentation. Patients more frequently experience diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis, a history of recurrent miscarriages, or genetic issues, all of which fundamentally impact both diagnosis and treatment success. It is important to emphasize that infertility is a complex medical condition affecting both partners, and resolving it begins with a properly tailored diagnosis. As a first step, Slovak health insurance policyholders can take advantage of a free initial consultation with a specialist at GYNCARE.

This is why modern reproductive medicine relies on comprehensive diagnostics, allowing for truly individualized treatment. The process includes specialized evaluations such as:

• Andrological evaluation to detect even more serious urological conditions.
• Genetic testing, which is crucial in cases of recurrent miscarriages, unsuccessful treatments, or severe abnormalities in the semen analysis (spermiogram).
• Reproductive immunology, which can influence treatment success in specific cases.
• Endocrinological evaluation focused on the body’s hormonal balance.
• Hematological evaluation, which can shed light on the causes of recurrent miscarriages.

Infertility Treatment Success: Helping 95% of Couples

influenced by the patient’s age. However, modern reproductive medicine now offers a wide spectrum of solutions—ranging from less invasive procedures to advanced methods. These include donor programs, which represent a standard and highly successful option when treatment using one’s own germ cells is not possible or repeatedly fails.

Clinical experience shows that with properly tailored treatment, medicine can help up to 95% of couples who persevere with their therapy. Over its 25-year history, GYNCARE has performed more than 10,000 IVF cycles, resulting in approximately 8,000 babies. These numbers include births not only from IVF but also from simpler treatment methods, such as IUI (intrauterine insemination) or ovulation induction.

This number is our most important milestone. Behind each one is a specific story, often following years of waiting, and the immense trust of our patients.

At the same time, reproductive medicine is moving toward even greater personalization of treatment and the integration of modern technologies. “Artificial intelligence holds great potential, particularly in analyzing imaging data, time-lapse recordings, or predicting ovarian stimulation responses. We do not view AI as a replacement for doctors, but rather as a powerful decision-support tool,” adds Assoc. Prof. Silvia Toporcerová, PhD.
