FemaSeed®
HRC Fertility Proudly Offers FemaSeed®
At HRC Fertility, we are committed to providing the latest advancements in fertility care towards the dream of parenthood. That’s why we’re pleased to offer FemaSeed®, an innovative, non-surgical fertility tool designed to support potentially enhanced conception processes by delivering sperm directly into the fallopian tube—the natural site of fertilization.
What is FemaSeed®?
FemaSeed® is a groundbreaking intratubal insemination (ITI) treatment that gently isolates the opening of the fallopian tube and guides sperm precisely where it needs to be. This targeted approach may increase the likelihood of sperm reaching the egg, improving the chances of successful fertilization.
Our fertility specialists tailor the treatment to a patient’s ovulation cycle and anatomy, with the goal of possibly maximizing success.
How is FemaSeed® Different from Traditional Methods?
Traditional intrauterine insemination (IUI) places sperm into the uterine cavity, requiring it to swim a significant distance to the fallopian tube. This process may result in lower pregnancy rates and often requires multiple attempts.
Who Can Benefit from FemaSeed®?
FemaSeed® is a great option to consider for patients who are seeking insemination, including those who:
- Have a low sperm count
- Have one functioning fallopian tube
- Are using donor sperm
By placing sperm closer to the egg, FemaSeed® offers an effective, less invasive, and new alternative to traditional fertility treatments.
What to Expect During the Procedure
-
Using ultrasound, our fertility care team determine the exact location of the egg.
-
The FemaSeed® device is gently inserted into the uterine cavity and positioned near the selected fallopian tube.
-
Sperm is carefully guided through the device into the fallopian tube, where it can survive for up to 72 hours, potentially increasing the chance of fertilization.
-
The device is removed, leaving the sperm in place to meet the egg naturally.
This safe, efficient, and more precise approach provides a new pathway for patients looking to expand their families.
