In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) & Fertility Treatment | Dorengynaecare IVF

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a highly advanced medical procedure designed to achieve fertilization in a controlled laboratory environment. The process begins with the retrieval of mature eggs from the ovaries, which are then fertilized with sperm in a lab dish. The resulting embryos are cultured before being transferred into the uterus, typically on day 3 or day 5 after fertilization. IVF is widely regarded as the most effective form of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), and it can involve using either your own eggs or donor eggs, along with your partner’s or donor sperm.

IVF is often recommended when other fertility treatments have not been successful. Additionally, with techniques like embryo biopsy and pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT-A and PGT-M), embryos can be assessed for genetic conditions.

Do I Need IVF? Exploring Infertility Causes and Solutions

IVF can be highly effective in addressing various infertility issues, especially when other treatments have failed. It’s essential for individuals to consult with a fertility specialist to understand their specific situation and explore the best treatment options.

Common Causes of Infertility Requiring IVF:

Age-Related Factors:

Female Age:As women age, the quantity and quality of eggs decline, making conception more challenging.
Male Age: Older men may experience reduced sperm quality.
- Ovulatory Disorders: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt regular ovulation.
- Fallopian Tube Damage or Blockage: Previous infections or surgeries can damage or block the fallopian tubes, preventing the eggs from meeting sperm.
- Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, affecting fertility.
- Male Factor Infertility: Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology can impact a man’s fertility.
- Unexplained Infertility: Sometimes, no clear cause can be identified despite thorough testing.
- Genetic Factors: Genetic disorders like sickle cell disease may affect fertility and can be addressed through IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).

Understanding the IVF Process

The IVF process involves several key steps aimed at supporting your journey to parenthood. Here’s a breakdown of the procedure at DOREN-GYNAECARE IVF:

Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This is monitored with blood tests and ultrasounds.
Egg Retrieval: A minor surgical procedure retrieves the eggs once they are mature. A thin needle, guided by ultrasound, is used, and sedation or anesthesia may be administered.
Sperm Collection: On the day of egg retrieval, sperm is collected from the partner or a donor. The sperm is processed to isolate the healthiest and most motile sperm.
Fertilization: The eggs are fertilized either through traditional insemination or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.
Embryo Culture: The embryos are monitored for 3 to 5 days as they develop, with regular assessments to evaluate their quality.
Embryo Transfer: One or more healthy embryos are selected and transferred into the uterus through a simple procedure using a thin catheter, typically without anesthesia.
Luteal Phase Support: Hormonal medications may be prescribed to support the uterine lining and improve implantation chances.
Pregnancy Test: A blood test is done about two weeks after the transfer to confirm pregnancy.

Types of IVF and Approaches to Ovarian Stimulation

Micro/Mini IVF:
Micro and Mini IVF are alternatives to traditional IVF designed to reduce the physical and financial strain by using fewer medications and retrieving fewer eggs.

Micro IVF:

Minimal Stimulation: Fewer eggs are retrieved using low doses of fertility medication (around 1 to 5 eggs).
Cost-Effective: Reduced medication usage leads to lower costs.
Lower Risk of OHSS: A smaller hormonal dose decreases the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
Natural Cycle Support: Can be combined with natural cycles for a more natural approach to conception.

Mini IVF:

Moderate Stimulation: This approach uses a mild medication protocol to retrieve more eggs than Micro IVF (usually 3 to 10 eggs).
Fewer Medications: The reduced medication helps minimize side effects.
Similar Success Rates: Success rates are often comparable to conventional IVF.
Shorter Treatment Time: Due to fewer medications, treatment may be quicker.

Both methods are suitable for women with specific fertility conditions, including advanced maternal age or those seeking a natural approach. Success rates depend on individual factors such as age, ovarian reserve, and fertility issues.

Conventional Dose IVF: This approach uses a standard dose of fertility medications (gonadotropins) to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. It is often used for women with a good ovarian reserve or those with specific fertility issues. The process involves egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo culture before transferring the best embryos into the uterus.
Natural Cycle IVF: Natural Cycle IVF utilizes the body’s natural ovulation cycle, where a single egg is retrieved and fertilized without the use of fertility medications. This approach results in fewer side effects and lower costs but may have lower success rates per cycle.

Candidates for Natural Cycle IVF:

Women with regular menstrual cycles
Older women with reduced ovarian reserve
Women with PCOS or endometriosis
Patients who have experienced previous IVF failures
Those seeking a more affordable, natural approach

Each case is unique, and a fertility specialist will help determine the best approach based on individual health and goals.

In summary, DOREN-GYNAECARE IVF offers a range of tailored fertility solutions to meet individual needs, with various IVF types and approaches to ovarian stimulation designed to enhance success and minimize costs. Consult with our expert team to find the best path for you.
