Step by Step to Parenthood

Yes. During the initial consultation, we take the time to discuss your medical history, answer your questions and assess your personal situation. The next step is usually a fertility analysis, the results of which form the basis for an individual treatment recommendation.

We specialise in fertility treatments (IVF, ICSI, IUI, hormone therapy), genetic testing (PGT) and fertility preservation (social freezing and sperm freezing). We do not offer annual gynaecological examinations; for these, please continue to consult your gynaecologist.

Fertility analysis is covered by health insurance, but costs may apply depending on your excess and deductible. Fertility treatments such as IVF, ICSI, PGD and social freezing are self-pay services. At Cada, all costs are transparent and there are no hidden additional costs. You will receive a complete overview during your free initial consultation, and payment by instalments is possible.

We do not offer treatment to women over the age of 45, as the chances of success are greatly reduced at this age and egg donation is not permitted in Switzerland.

Since the introduction of ‘marriage for all’, married female couples in Switzerland have had access to sperm donation. This service is not currently available at Cada, but we would like to offer it in the future. We offer social freezing for everyone, including lesbian couples. For gay couples, fertility treatment is currently not legally possible in Switzerland.

Yes. Cada has two locations: a clinic in Zurich and a practice in Lucerne. Consultations, fertility assessments and check-ins during your treatment take place at the location you choose. Ideally the one closest to where you live or work.

Only for procedures such as egg collection or embryo transfer do you come to our clinic in Zurich, where our IVF laboratory and dedicated procedure rooms are based.

Patients from other cantons are just as welcome. We plan appointments so they fit into your daily life as smoothly as possible.

You can reach us by email at [email protected] or by telephone on +41 44 505 14 44. We are available by telephone on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions in advance or would like to make an appointment by telephone. Alternatively, you can book a free initial consultation directly online.

Yes, pregnancy is still possible after the age of 40. However, the natural chances per cycle decrease significantly and the risk of miscarriage increases. From the age of 43 onwards, the natural probability of conception per cycle is less than 5%. We therefore recommend prompt reproductive medical assessment.

In many cases, IVF or ICSI is the most sensible option. Genetic testing of the embryos (PGT) can also increase the chances of success and reduce the risk of miscarriage. We treat women up to and including the age of 44.

Our positive pregnancy rates per cycle and patient are among the highest of fertility clinics in Switzerland and Europe. Individual chances depend on various factors, such as age, egg reserve and diagnosis. We will assess your situation in a personal consultation.

Cada is a member of leading reproductive medicine associations, including ESHRE, FMH, QUAAB and SGRM. We are subject to strict quality controls that ensure the highest medical standards and optimal treatment results.
