Are you and your partner struggling to conceive? In vitro fertilization, commonly known as IVF, is one of the most established and successful approaches to treating infertility — and for many families, it is the pathway that makes parenthood possible. This process involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body in a laboratory and then transferring the resulting embryo to the uterus. While it may sound complex, this is a well-documented and highly refined technique that has helped countless individuals and couples achieve their dream of having a child.
At Chedid Grieco, we understand how important it is to have a clear picture of what the IVF treatment process will entail. That is why we provide a comprehensive consultation to intended parents in Miami, FL. If you decide to move forward, you will have access to our team of doctors and advanced technology to guide you through this process as part of our broader assisted reproduction program in Brazil.

What Is In Vitro Fertilization?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical process designed to help individuals and couples conceive by combining eggs and sperm in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus, where implantation and pregnancy can begin. Before beginning a cycle, many patients also pursue genetic carrier screening before IVF to identify inherited conditions and make more informed decisions about treatment.
The process involves several coordinated steps: ovarian stimulation through hormone therapy to encourage egg production, followed by egg retrieval, fertilization in a controlled lab environment, and embryo transfer to the uterus. Each step is monitored carefully to support the best possible outcome. IVF has continued to evolve over the decades, and today it represents one of the most effective tools available for those facing infertility challenges.
At Chedid Grieco, our approach is tailored to each individual’s unique situation. With a dedicated team of doctors and state-of-the-art facilities in Brazil, we are committed to helping you navigate every stage of care in Miami, FL and ensuring you are well-informed throughout. Together, we will explore all options and create a plan that optimizes your chances of successful conception.
Why Choose Chedid Grieco for IVF Treatment in Miami?
At Chedid Grieco, what sets us apart is our commitment to combining clinical precision with genuinely personalized care. Located in São Paulo, Brazil, and offering consultations in Miami, FL, our fertility clinic is FDA-licensed and New York Department of Health (NYDH)-licensed — a distinction held by only a small number of clinics operating outside the United States. This credential is meaningful for U.S. patients because it reflects the same rigorous regulatory standards expected domestically.
We are proud to be a female-led practice and a strong supporter of LGBTQ+ family building. Our international model makes fertility care significantly more financially accessible than many domestic clinics, and we collaborate closely with your physicians at home to ensure continuity of care. For patients managing conditions like endometriosis alongside their IVF cycle, our team builds coordinated care plans that address every layer of reproductive health. The results speak for themselves: over 8,780 babies have been born through our programs, with approximately 1,200 cycles performed each year.
According to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology, with success rates varying by age and individual health factors. Our team works to maximize those odds through individualized planning and advanced techniques, including preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
What to Expect During Your IVF Consultation in Miami
Embarking on this journey brings a mix of emotions, and we are here to support you through every one of them. Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at Chedid Grieco, where we confirm whether IVF treatment is the right path for you. Following this, the treatment phase begins with hormone therapy to stimulate your ovaries and encourage the development of multiple eggs. This stage requires careful monitoring of your health and response to medication.
After egg retrieval, the fertilization stage begins in our controlled laboratory environment. Eggs are combined with sperm, and the resulting embryos are observed by our embryology team. The next step is the embryo transfer, where one or more embryos are carefully placed into the uterus to hopefully implant and develop into a healthy pregnancy. In some cases, we may recommend assisted hatching during IVF to improve the embryo’s ability to implant successfully.
Throughout your care in Miami and Brazil, you can expect regular monitoring visits, ongoing communication about your progress, and guidance on supporting your cycle at home. Small choices around nutrition and lifestyle for IVF success can meaningfully support your outcomes, and our team will discuss personalized recommendations as part of your plan.
