Your Path to Parenthood: Exploring Fertility Treatment Options

Starting fertility treatment can feel overwhelming, especially in the beginning. But here’s the encouraging part, thanks to medical advances and the strong support for reproductive care in Saudi Arabia, couples today have access to highly effective options. At the top clinics in Saudi Arabia, including Nabda Unit for Fertility and IVF at The Clinics.

Still, IVF isn’t always the first step. It often comes after simpler methods have been explored.
That’s why this guide doesn’t jump straight to advanced treatment; it walks you through the process the way most patients experience it: step by step.

We’ll cover the full spectrum of fertility care, starting from low-intervention methods all the way to IVF and advanced technologies like genetic testing. All of this is explained within the ethical and regulatory framework of Saudi Arabia, something many general guides don’t cover but is essential when seeking care here.

At The Clinics, we aim to simplify this process. Through our Nabda Unit for Fertility and IVF, we provide not just treatment, but guidance, so you understand why a particular plan is recommended and how it fits your situation. We believe informed patients feel more confident in their journey, and our role is to be a reliable, compassionate partner at every step.

The Starting Point: Simpler Fertility Interventions
When couples come in to talk about fertility, most of them assume the next step is IVF. It’s a common thought, but not always the reality.

At The Clinics through Nabda Unit, we usually begin with something far less complex: helping your body ovulate at the right time. This is called ovulation induction, and it’s often the first option, especially for people dealing with PCOS or irregular periods.

First, we do lab tests before any intervention. We recommend the right plan at the right time. At many clinics in Saudi Arabia, including ours, this is how things begin, and sometimes, how they succeed.

We use oral medications or injections to gently help the ovaries release an egg. During this time, we monitor things with scans, so we can track how the follicles are growing.

Then we guide you on when to try naturally after the triggering injection, which is (hCG) method called timed intercourse. It’s simple, but surprisingly effective when timed right.

A lot of couples don’t need more than this. No procedures. We do lab tests before any intervention. Just the right plan at the right time. At many clinics in Saudi Arabia, including Nabda Unit at The Clinics, this is how things begin—and sometimes, how they succeed.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): A Less Invasive Assisted
Procedure
Sometimes, natural methods aren’t enough. That’s when we might look at IUI.
It stands for intrauterine insemination. Sounds complex, but it’s actually a simple, outpatient procedure. At Nabda Unit, we perform IUI right here in our day surgery operating room.
Here’s how it works: a semen sample is collected and carefully processed. This step, called sperm washing, separates the strongest swimmers. Those are the ones we use.

Then, using a soft, thin tube, we place that sample directly into the uterus. It’s done after a cycle of ovulation induction.
The whole thing takes just a few minutes. Most people say it feels like a Pap smear. No anesthesia, no recovery time, you’re back to your day almost immediately.
IUI can be a good option when there’s mild male factor infertility and in cases of unexplained infertility. It’s also helpful when timing is the main issue. For many couples, it’s the next step before considering IVF.

In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or ICSI: The Gold Standard in
Assisted Reproduction
If you’ve tried simpler treatments and they haven’t worked, it might be time to consider IVF.
It’s a more advanced option, and yes, it’s a process. But for many couples, it offers the best chance at pregnancy.
At The Clinics Nabda Unit, we walk you through each step. No rushing. No guesswork.
First comes stimulation. You take medication to help your ovaries make more follicles, more than they would on their own. We track progress with ultrasounds and bloodwork.

Getting Answers with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) for Genetic Diseases and Chromosomal Anomalies

The worry that comes with genetics, or the pain of another miscarriage, it’s a heavy thing. A really heavy thing. We see it every day.

That’s really the “why” behind Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). It’s a tool that lets us check the genetic makeup of an embryo before the transfer. A bit of science to give you, hopefully, some peace of mind. The regulations in Saudi Arabia are specific, of course, but that’s our job to navigate with you. We’ll go through it all together.

Embryos: Keeping Your Options Open
Life has its own timeline, right? It rarely lines up perfectly with our plans for a family. Maybe it’s a career you’re building. Or maybe you’re facing a health issue that has to come first.

This is why freezing embryos isn’t some far-off idea anymore. It’s a real, practical tool. A way to take the pressure off. To give you the freedom to build your family when the time is right for you, not for anyone or anything else. For many folks in 2025, it’s just that. Freedom.

Your Personalized Fertility Plan at The Clinics Nabda Unit

For many people, the first step is something much simpler, like helping with ovulation. For others, it could be IUI, or then maybe IVF with ICSI. The point is, there’s no single “right” treatment. There’s only what’s right for you. And that starts with a real diagnosis and a plan built just for you.

Navigating all of this… it’s a lot. It takes more than just good medicine. It requires a deep respect for our culture and the regulations here in Saudi Arabia. That’s something our consultants at Nabda Unit for Fertility and IVF live by. Our commitment is to guide you, of course, but also to
make sure your treatment plan honors the values of the Kingdom.

You’re going to have questions. And every single one of them deserves a thoughtful answer. The only way to really know what your next step should be is to sit down and talk, one-on-one, in a confidential setting. That first conversation is the most important step. We hope you’ll reach out to us at the Nabda Unit at The Clinics in Riyadh. Let’s talk about building your plan together.
