The most important factor is age. The older the female is, the less the chance of getting pregnant. There is practically very little chance of pregnancy for females who are older than 44 years old. The chance of pregnancy is negatively affected by the previously experienced sexually infected diseases and infections influencing the ovaries and the fallopian tubes.
Quality of sperms, adhesiveness of the embryos within the womb, problems such as myoma or polyp, blocked fallopian tubes are kinds of factors that influence the success of IVF.
IVF can be applied till the age of 44. However, it is known that there is less chance for a successful IVF after the age of 44.
It is a method of IVF that enables the fertilization through injecting a single sperm into the egg.
Unlike the microinjection, certain number of sperms is put around the eggs and one of the sperm enters into the egg naturally.
Microinjection is used in male infertility whereas IVF is used in female infertility.
These methods are used in such situations as when no pregnancy occurs and standard treatment methods are ineffective.
It consists of stimulation of the ovaries, collection of the eggs, fertilization of the eggs with sperm, and transfer of fertilized eggs (embryos).
If the number of sperm is very few, microinjection is performed. In cases where there is no sper, it is required to surgically search for the sperm inside the testicles.
Eggs are collected with the help of vaginal ultrasound. It is a process that is generally performed under short-term anesthesia.
She can go home straight away and she can even go to work in the afternoon of the same day of egg collection.
Stimulation of the ovaries with the purpose of IVF doesn’t decrease the ovary reserve.
For an egg to be fertilized, it should be mature and structurally normal. All the eggs are not appropriate for fertilization. Each fertilized egg doesn’t turn into a healthy embryo either.
Embryo transfer is a simple process. An embryo is placed from the cervical field into the womb by using a thin plastic catheter with the help of ultrasound.
The remaining embryos are re-evaluated by the embryologist and if there are embryos with sufficient quality, couples are advised for the cryopreservation.
Only fully developed healthy embryos are selected. 1-3 embryos are placed into the womb depending on the age of the female.
First of all, it is necessary to prevent the multiple pregnancies. This is possible by lessening the number of embryos transferred, for women with higher chances of pregnancy (young, previously pregnant). Generally, no attempt is made in twin pregnancies. As for the triplet pregnancies, pregnancy reduction is recommended.
The probability of losing the other embryos is 5% .In twins reduced from triples, rates of premature birth and miscarriage are higher when compared with normal twin pregnancies.
We suggest you to continue your normal life because there is no specific benefit of having rest.
Following the transfer, on the 11th day, with the blood test called Beta-HCG, it can be seen whether the pregnancy has occurred or not. Following the embryo transfer, our nurses inform you about the date of the test.
These rates change from one centre to the other. We have a very successful embryo freezing program with the vitrification technique in Rajni Fertiliy Centre.
