FOR many couples trying to conceive, the first or main concern is the cost of In Vitro Fertilization or IVF.

Before asking about costs, hopeful parents-to-be must first navigate the possible causes of their fertility concerns or issues.

Workup with a certified reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) doctor is a critical step in any fertility journey and is essential before deciding on any treatment plan.

The answer may or may not be IVF or IVF immediately.

The newest center in Alabang is called Fertility and IVF precisely because IVF is not the only option; conceiving naturally remains a possibility and there are other steps or ways before IVF.

GenPro Fertility and IVF Center ("GenPro" or "the Center") offers a spectrum of fertility services, from basic fertility workups and cryopreservation (egg and sperm freezing) to assisted reproductive

treatments.

Its in-house laboratories provide essential diagnostic screenings, such as semen analysis, hormonal tests and infectious diseases screening, and ensures convenience and continuity of care.

Founded and led by five esteemed OB-Gyn/REI doctors, the GenPro Care team consists of multiple fertility specialists and embryologists who have extensive specialized training and experience in leading institutions both locally and abroad.

Moreover, the center is open to other trusted, licensed fertility doctors who wish to use the center's facilities for procedures.

The whole team works collaboratively and compassionately to produce the best possible outcomes.

"At GenPro, we are in this together. Compassion is not just a feeling but a commitment to act; we offer care, guidance, and support through every step of the fertility journey," GenPro founder and medical director Maria Concepcion Ilao-Oreta said.

"We actively listen and respond to each patient's unique emotions and experiences, ensuring they feel seen, heard, understood and are

given personalized care," she added.

Personalized services means that every treatment plan is tailored to the patient's unique medical history, fertility concerns or issues, emotional needs and goals.

With GenPro's collaborative approach patients are part of the team; they are not just case numbers but partners in their own care and fertility treatment.

Medical doctors Ilao-Oreta, Marites Barrientos, Mary Liezl Yu, Margarita Isidora Yap-Garcia and Mikaela Bucu have together established a center that's purposefully built around the patients' comfort, privacy, and overall well-being.

From GenPro's services to its location and interior design, every detail was made with patients in mind.

The center is located in a serene part of Metro Manila, which is easily accessible via Skyway and through various modes of transportation.

While more Filipino couples turn to IVF to improve their chances of conceiving, the high costs and uncertainties often leave a lot of couples feeling overwhelmed and discouraged.

At GenPro, patients are encouraged to make informed decisions and explore all possible options based on their unique needs before going through IVF.

To help patients make well-informed decisions, GenPro has opened its doors and started the conversation about infertility and IVF through a series of fora called "Fertility in Focus."

The latest session titled "Introduction to IVF and Egg Freezing," was held on Saturday, June 21 at the GenPro Center, 7th Floor, Mercedian Building, Civic Drive corner Centennial Lane, Filinvest, Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
