Becoming pregnant with the Wunschbaby Method.

As the first fertility institute worldwide, we at the Wunschbaby Institut Feichtinger have developed a holistic 360° approach to fulfilling your wish for a child. Our method is uncomplicated, compassionate and safe – and its result is unique: your fulfilled wish for a child.

A word from our director

“No two paths to a longed-for baby are alike. That is why every treatment with us begins with listening: the Wunschbaby Method takes you step by step exactly where you want to arrive – at your child.”

Your journey

Step by step towards your longed-for baby.

We are by your side at every station – with no strings attached at the beginning, and with all our experience when it matters most.

  1. The beginning

    You wish for a baby – but it isn’t happening?

    You are not alone: around one in six couples waits longer than hoped for a pregnancy.

  2. The right time

    When is it time to seek answers?

    If no pregnancy occurs after 6–12 months of regular unprotected intercourse, an evaluation is worthwhile – the earlier, the better.

  3. Getting to know us

    Free fertility info evening

    Get to know us and our institute with no obligation and ask all your questions – free of charge.

  4. What could be the cause?

    The causes are varied – roughly one third lie with the woman, one third with the man and one third with both. We investigate gently and thoroughly.

    • Male factors

      From sperm quality to hormonal factors: we find out what is behind it.

    • Female factors

      Cycle, hormones, fallopian tubes or endometriosis: we follow up every lead carefully.

  5. Many possible causes – but even more solutions.

  6. There is a path for almost every situation.

    From gentle support to state-of-the-art reproductive medicine – together we find the treatment that suits you.

  7. If it didn't work this time

    A negative test is not the end of the road.

    As hard as this moment is: it is part of many fertility stories that end well. Together we analyse the cycle, adjust your treatment plan – and are there for you emotionally, too.

  8. The most beautiful moment

    The positive pregnancy test

    Two lines, a new chapter: we stay by your side until your pregnancy is safely confirmed.

  9. Welcome, little miracle.

    The destination of the journey – and the beginning of everything. We celebrate with you.

Our values

Family is our mission.

Life has blessed us with the good fortune of growing up in a large family, and this has shaped our values ever since. Our mission is for others to experience the happiness of a family with children too.

Diagnosis & Causes

We cannot help every couple – only those who contact us.

The causes of an unfulfilled wish for a child are manifold and can affect the woman, the man or both partners. Often one or more of the following causes is present:

Fallopian tubes & ovaries

Fibroids & cysts

Endometriosis

PMOS

Cancer

Age & menopause

Uterus

Infections

Sperm

When to visit a fertility institute?
The pregnancy rule of thumb

More than 6 months without success? Contact us!

Many couples wait a long time before seeking support – yet an early evaluation brings one thing above all: clarity. It doesn’t hurt, commits you to nothing and answers the questions that are on your mind anyway. Take the first step at your own pace – we walk all the others together.

Free info evening

The Wunschbaby Method

The Wunschbaby Method: well planned, so no precious time is lost.

The probability of becoming pregnant with the Wunschbaby Method is around 72% – three out of four couples fulfil their wish for a child this way.

1

Consultation & ultrasound

Welcome to the Wunschbaby Institut Feichtinger! The journey to your longed-for baby begins with an in-depth first consultation at our institute. The consultation usually lasts a full hour – and a great deal happens in that time. First, we get to know each other and discuss what matters most: your personal wishes and concerns. If you already have recent test results, please bring them along. More about the first consultation

Treatment

Once the precise diagnostics are complete, we develop an individual treatment plan that addresses exactly the causes identified and, in the best case, enables a natural pregnancy directly. Through this personalised approach, combined with our comprehensive range of treatments, we achieve internationally industry-leading pregnancy rates. View all treatments

From our research

FertiFate – the nutritional supplement for parents-to-be
