Fertility Top Tips! Natural Cycle IVF Treatment | London

Descrizione:

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) – Stimulated / Mild Stimulation / Natural Cycle During In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), an egg is removed from the woman's ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The fertilised egg, called an embryo, is then returned to the woman's womb to grow and develop. Fertility drugs (Stimulated IVF treatment) may be given to the female partner to stimulate the production of multiple eggs which are contained in follicles on the ovaries. Progress is monitored using ultrasound and blood tests. The eggs are then collected whilst the patient is sedated, via ultrasound guided vaginal aspiration. The eggs are mixed with the sperm in a petri dish and closely monitored for signs of fertilisation. The embryologists analyse the embryos for quality and select the most suitable embryo for transfer. The embryo is loaded into a fine catheter. This is placed into the womb and the embryo is released. Two weeks after the embryo transfer, a pregnancy test is performed to confirm implantation was successful.

This option is most suitable for those with very active ovaries also known as polycystic ovaries. The risk of over response (ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome) in this group is very high and hence, a mild stimulation approach is most appropriate. To learn more visit ivfmatters.co.uk Natural Cycle IVF is a type of IVF treatment where no stimulating medication is used. The first IVF baby in the world; Louise Brown - was born using this method of treatment. It is usually used for women where medication is either unlikely to help in Bev gcbfrecruiting a higher number of eggs due to a low ovarian reserve, or in those with a previous suboptimal response to ovarian stimulation or in those with a very high risk of ovarian over-stimulation. However, there tends to be a high cancellation rate (approximately 30%) due to either high hormonal levels at the start of a cycle, arrest in follicular growth or premature ovulation. To learn more visit ivfmatters.co.uk Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a type of IVF treatment where sperm is injected directly into the egg. This technique is used when the sperm is not optimal, whether this is due to low count, motility or morphology. At times, it may be used due to bacteria or raised antibody levels in the semen sample. To learn more visit ivfmatters.co.uk Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI) Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI) is a new technique used to assist sperm selection for fertilisation. This technique uses high power magnification to visualise inside the sperm, allowing specialists to pick the sperm with the highest chance of achieving a successful fertilisation. This technique is particularly important in cases of repeated IVF failures, in those with history of miscarriages or in those with high sperm DNA fragmentation. DNA fragmentation occurs when there is an alteration or a break in one of the DNA strands inside the sperm itself and can affect the possibility of a successful pregnancy.
