In Vitro Fertilization
Steps of the IVF Process:
1. Ovarian Stimulation
We begin by stimulating the ovaries and preparing the endometrium until both reach the optimal size and maturity.
2. Follicular Aspiration
Next, we perform sperm capacitation by processing the semen sample to select the highest-quality sperm.
3. Sperm Sample Preparation
Once the eggs have matured to the appropriate size, we retrieve them through a procedure called egg retrieval.
4. Fertilization and Embryo Culture
In the IVF laboratory, we clean and fertilize the eggs using the selected methods: Traditional IVF, ICSI, or PICSI.
5. Blasocyst biopsy (on 5th day)
After allowing the embryos to develop for 5 days, we perform a biopsy to evaluate their genetic makeup.
6. Embryo Transfer using Era
Based on the genetic results, we identify the most viable embryos and proceed with the embryo transfer.
7. Pregnancy Test
Finally, two weeks after the transfer, we carry out a pregnancy test to determine the outcome.
In Vitro Fertilizacion Techniques:
IVF
Procces:
The embryologist places the egg in a drop of semen containing thousands of sperm and waits for one to naturally fertilize the egg.
Recommended When:
- The sperm quality is adequate for natural fertilization, similar to spontaneous conception.
- There are female factor complications such as endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, or other conditions affecting tubal patency.
Sperm selection occurs naturally.
IVF with ICSI
Process:
Before fertilization, the embryologist personally selects the best sperm based on its mobility and morphology, and then injects it directly into the egg using a specialized micro-needle.da.
Recommended When:
- Sperm quality is reduced.
- There are female factor complications such as endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, or other conditions affecting tubal patency.
Sperm selection is carried out by an embryologist.
IVF with PICSI
Procces:
This is a preliminary step before ICSI, where the embryologist places the sperm in a dish with drops of a synthetic substance similar to hyaluronic acid, which naturally surrounds the eggs.
The highest-quality sperm will bind to these drops, allowing the embryologist to select the best ones more precisely. The selected sperm is then injected directly into the egg using a specialized micro-needle.
Recommended When:
- Sperm quality is reduced.
- There are female factor complications such as endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, or other conditions affecting tubal patency.
Sperm selection is based on their ability to bind to a synthetic molecule similar to hyaluronic acid.
Success Rates of IVF:
The success rates of different IVF techniques are very similar. The choice of technique depends on the combination of factors affecting your ability to conceive.
