IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a fertility treatment in which eggs are fertilized with sperm outside of the body. This process takes place in a laboratory setting and offers couples and individuals with fertility problems a chance at pregnancy. IVF can be performed using the partner’s own sperm or donor sperm.
The intake:
Based on the results of the Fertility Research Orientation, you and your attending physician will determine whether IVF is the best next step. IVF (or ICSI as a variant) is an intensive treatment method with generally good results.
The stimulation phase:
After the decision to start ivf treatment pakistan, the stimulation phase begins, in which the ovaries are stimulated with hormones to develop multiple follicles. The duration of this phase varies from 7 to 20 days and is followed by an HCG injection to induce ovulation. The process of follicle maturation is monitored by ultrasound.
The puncture phase:
During the egg retrieval, the eggs are sucked out of the follicles with a thin needle, with or without pain relief at your choice. After the puncture, you will hear how many eggs have been harvested and you will start with the insertion of progesterone to prepare the uterus for the embryo transfer.
Sperm collection:
The intended father provides sperm before the puncture, which is examined for sufficient sperm for fertilization. If the sperm quality is poor, ICSI can be applied or donated sperm can be used.
Fertilization:
The embryologist or IVF analyst fertilizes the eggs with sperm cells in the laboratory, whereby usually 70% of the eggs are successfully fertilized. In case of poor sperm quality, ICSI is used to promote fertilization.
Embryo development: After fertilization, the embryo is placed in an incubator for 3 to 5 days to grow. When the embryo is ready for replacement, an appointment is made for the embryo transfer.
The embryo transfer:
With the EmbryoTransfer, one embryo is replaced in the uterus. When there are multiple embryos, the remaining embryos are frozen so that you can use them for a subsequent wish to have children.
The pregnancy test:
Two weeks after the transfer you will do a pregnancy test. If the result is positive you will return after 7 weeks for an ultrasound, after which you will be referred to the midwife for further guidance if the result is good. If you are not pregnant, we will start a subsequent treatment in consultation.
The doctor will determine the indication for IVF. We will inform you about the treatment. For example, injection instructions will be given, a treatment schedule will be made and, if necessary, blood tests will be performed. Approximately 2 weeks before the start of the treatment, the required medication will be ordered by us from the Genova Fertility and the medication will be delivered to your home.
