Fertility Center – fulfilling your wish to have a child

Are you wondering why your desire to have a child is not coming true, what you can do to make it happen and what your chances are? You can get the answers to these important questions at our university fertility center.

An unfulfilled desire to have children can be very stressful for you and as a couple. Since we are familiar with the questions, fears and uncertainties that arise, you as a person are our focus. Our goal is to work with you to find the causes of involuntary childlessness, to select a suitable treatment and to accompany you competently and at the same time personally on the path to a desired child.

Careful clarification for him and her

There is a widespread opinion that in the majority of cases the problem lies with the woman. But this is not the case. The reasons for childlessness just as often lie with the man. That is why we consider a comprehensive assessment of both partners to be the cornerstone for determining the most promising therapy.

If you receive treatment or suffer from a disease that damages the ovaries or testicles, the following fertility preservation options can ensure your chance of becoming a parent later.

Since the following diseases and problems can still stand in the way of your desire to have children, we offer special examinations and treatments:

• PCOS: Center for PCOS
• Endometriosis
• Miscarriages

A small miracle, many big questions

For many couples, the blessing of having a child is taken for granted. Therefore, the probing question of why baby bliss just isn’t coming true for you can become a psychological burden. You may be asking yourself the following questions:

• Did we do something wrong?
• What can we do to make our wish for a child come true?
• How can we make our friends understand our problem?
• Our partnership and sexuality are under strain. How can we cope with this better?

We know that many of those affected experience the time of medical treatment as a roller coaster of emotions and we accompany and support you wherever and however we can. For example, we have established psychological coaching for our infertility couples, which you are welcome to take advantage of.

Understanding is essential

In order to ensure the success of the treatment and to minimize the risks, it is necessary that you have sufficient knowledge of a language we are familiar with. This includes English as well as the Swiss national languages German, French or Italian.
