Below you’ll find links to these sessions, where you can access helpful information and practical advice from experienced experts:
- “How to have a healthy experience of fertility treatment?” – session by Mgr. Adriana Meinert, Psychologist and coordinator
- “Understanding Ovarian Stimulation Protocols in IVF” – discussion with Dr. Kristýna Frühaufová, PhD
- “Endometriosis, Fibroids, and IVF: managing co-existing conditions” – seminar by Dr. Kristýna Frühaufová, PhD

Gynem Treatment Options
Here are the fertility treatments readily available to both national and international patients:
- IUI (intrauterine insemination) and AID (artificial insemination with donor)
- IVF+ICSI
- MESA, TESE
- Egg donation
- Donor sperm
- Embryo donation
- PGT in three variants: PGT-M, PGT-SR, and PGT-A
- Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH)
- EmbryoGlue
- Embryo freezing
- Sperm freezing
- Egg freezing
- Embryo monitoring: EmbryoScope®
- Sperm pre-selection methods: IMSI, PICSI, MACS, and the FERTILE® chip which is a sperm selection device that uses the microfluidic technique to select sperm
- The Gavi® automated vitrification system
- Endometrial health testing: ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Analysis), ALICE (Analysis of Infectious Chronic Endometritis) and EMMA (Endometrial Microbiome Metagenomic Analysis).
- Spermmobil is a medium that, for a short time, accelerates the movement of less mobile sperm. The energizing effect of SpermMobil can help identify slow, but viable sperm for ICSI treatment.
- EmbryoGen® is an embryo culture medium that fosters a culture environment very similar to ideal conditions in a woman’s uterus. It helps prevent implantation failure and embryo rejection. If you have had miscarriage in the past, we recommend you become interested in this option.
- Spindle Observation System that works on the basis of time optimization during the egg fertilization process of ICSI. Thanks to observational techniques, embryologists can see oocytes as they develop to maturity and select good candidates for fertilisation. The technique allows to spot an underdeveloped spindle in the oocyte that would limit the chances of successful fertilization. Find out more in the video below.
If you’re dealing with male factor infertility, we highly recommend reading this insightful article by Gynem’s embryologist, Tomás Rieger, Ph.D., “IVF Techniques for Treating Male Factor Infertility Explained.” This article provides a clear overview of all the IVF options available to help you achieve your dream of becoming a father.

Thank you Klara, and thank you GYNEM IVF!
for the high-quality provision of services: everything is prompt, punctual, and of high quality. The clinic is modern, cozy, comfortable, pleasant, helpful staff. Special words of gratitude to my coordinator Oksana Risko, who was there from...to...!
And with heartfelt advice and correct recommendations!
I would like to express my deep gratitude to doctor Kristýna Frühaufová!
I recommend it to everyone and advise anyone who needs to take a step towards joy!🕊️🩵
For our first visit we went for bloods, to see the clinic and also to sign papers we were very very well looked after. At this appointment we met with the Dr, went through our history and together decided on the best protocal for me. I am a very nervous person when having medical things done, Nada came into the room with me and my husband to have my bloods and supported me with my bloods giving words of reassurance.
Nada has been quick with coming back on emails and where needed supported my panicking over the phone.
We decided we wanted to be supported in the UK with our IVF Dr here who had recommended we go abroad. Gynem have been fine with me doing this, and have taken on board any feedback/recommendations he has given (knowing my history)
For our 2nd visit we had our transfer, the team were amazing and kept me at ease. As my husband was not permitted into the transfer room, Nada was kind enough to come with me which i really appreciated.
We are in our TWW so fingers crossed for some good news.
I would and have recommended this clinic to everyone, they are all very good. What we liked the most was that it was a family run clinic. We have feel looked after and supported on our journey which means a lot.
Our IVF journey started with doing tons of research, talking to three clinics in the US, and we weren't feeling great about any clinics we spoke with. A friend mentioned why not look abroad? After reading up on IVF abroad we zeroed in on Czech Republic, and spoke with three clinics there. Our case was complex between my needing to work with an Andrologist, and our age presenting its set of challenges.
Gynem offered everything we were looking for, so we decided to fly from California to Prague and give it a shot.
Best decision we could have made in our IVF journey!!!
Upon arriving at Gynem we saw first-hand that they run a top-notch, well-regulated IVF clinic. Our coordinator Oxana was the best! She was supporting us every step of the way and made sure we understood everything that was happening, and what our options were. The doctors were fantastic, as well! They were just as good if not better than any doctors we would have used in the US.
Start to finish we were working with Gynem in person in Prague for about 10 days. During that time every step of the way was communicated to us from egg and sperm selection, to fertilization to embryo development, to transfer!
Due to Gynem's expertise our experience with them was the best-case scenario that we couldn't quite imagine happening due to the complexities of our case.
Our advice to IVF abroad: do your research and be ready, getting meds and pre-visits done in the US is tricky but doable, and most important don't be afraid to take a leap, leave your comfort zone, and head to Prague and use Gynem for IVF. You will be sooooo happy and grateful that you did!!
I love Prague because I visit the city quite often so I searched for the best clinic that performs this procedure and I came across Gynem. I saw they have lots of good and positive reviews specially for tourists like me. I can list down some of the good things about this clinic:
1) They are very responsive and accommodating on all your questions from the moment I inquired to the whole journey and the main day!
2) They have really nice and knowledgeable doctors who will explain everything and will answer all questions (simple or not, :-D). Always a good talk with them.
3) The clinic is small but very tidy. And the staff are all very friendly. You will not feel annoyed or intimidated as they welcome you with nice smiles. You will feel at home immediately.
4) The price is lot cheaper and worth it compared to other clinics I have checked out. Plus you are in a very beautiful city!
5) The procedure is smooth, and quick. And they are there the whole time whenever you have questions or in doubt so I never really felt scared.
Overall, I am very pleased and happy with the positive result!! Thanks Gynem. Will be back again for the next step. 🙂
