IVF treatment process

• By Mannat Fertility Centre

Introduction

• In vitro fertilization or IVF is a type of
  assisted reproductive technology treatment, which
  has been in practice since 1978. It was a year
  when the first test-tube baby, Louise Joy Brown,
  was born in England. In IVF treatment procedure,
  the fertilization of egg with sperm cells takes
  place outside of a female body. It facilitates a
  couple to get rid of all obstacles and become
  parents of a child.

Initial consultation and evaluation

• It is your first meeting with one of our IVF
  doctors or fertility experts. In the first
  consultation, you or your spouse explain your
  problem and answer a few queries of our
  specialist.
• The queries are associated with your previous
  pregnancies if you have, your effort time to
  conceive, yours and your spouses age, medical
  backgrounds of your family members, etc. After
  the interaction, the expert can recommend you a
  few tests or screenings to know the root cause.
• The doctor can ask you to come another day and
  recommend IVF to you. While recommending in vitro
  fertilisation, the expert will explain the
  process, the probable risks, and how you can make
  your treatment successful for you.

Medicine or supplements for ovary stimulation

• The main IVF treatment starts with ovary
  stimulation. In it, doctors ask you (females) to
  consume artificial hormones for the stimulation
  of your ovaries. Ovary stimulation leads you to
  have egg production.
• The expert can prescribe several medicines for
  ovarian stimulation, oocyte maturation, premature
  ovulation prevention, and the uterus lining
  preparation.
• Further, the expert can perform a vaginal
  ultrasound to know the development of follicles
  and blood tests to measure to know your response
  to medicines used for ovary stimulation.

9
Egg retrieval

• The expert performs egg retrieval after 34b to 36
  hours after the final hormone injection and
  before your ovulation. You need to take a
  painkiller before the start of the egg retrieval
  process.
• Usually, experts do transvaginal ultrasound
  aspiration. The experts can use abdominal
  ultrasound if they have problems accessing your
  ovaries through a transvaginal ultrasound.
• With the use of a suction device, they retrieve
  eggs from your ovaries. They extract multiple
  eggs in or around 20 minutes.
• You can experience a feeling of pressure or
  fullness and cramping after egg retrieval.
• The experts take mature eggs from the retrieved
  eggs and place the same in nutritive liquid.

10
Sperm retrieval

• You need to carry a sample of your male partners
  semen if both of you want to have your own
  biological child. If you havent come with the
  sample semen, your male partner needs to produce
  it through masturbation.
• Your male partner can use a private room at the
  clinic to masturbate for semen collection in a
  container. After masturbation, your spouse can
  produce it to the experts there.
• The other method for sperm extraction is
  testicular aspiration. In it, the expert will use
  a needle or perform a surgery to retrieve sperm
  directly from the testicle.
• In the case of zero sperm in your partners
  semen, the expert can use donor sperm to move
  ahead in the treatment procedure.

11
Egg fertilization for embryo development

• IVF doctors use several methods for the
  fertilization of eggs at the lab. In general,
  they use two methods
• Conventional insemination - In this, experts
  collect healthy sperm from the extracted semen
  and mix and incubate the same with egg overnight.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) - Experts
  inject a healthy sperm cell directly into every
  mature egg. They do it when sperm count and
  quality is very poor.

12
Embryo transfer

• Experts perform the embryo transfer at the clinic
  after 2-5 days of egg retrieval. Before the
  process starts, you might have to take a mild
  sedative.
• In the process, an expert will insert a catheter
  into your vagina through the cervix and it will
  go into the uterus.
• The expert will suspend one or more embryos with
  a syringe containing a fluid in a small amount.
  With this syringe, the expert places the embryo/s
  into your uterus.
• The process used for embryo transfer could be
  assisted hatching preimplantation genetic testing.

13
Pregnancy test

• Pregnancy happens when there is implantation of
  an embryo on the uterus lining. The expert at an
  IVF clinic will perform a blood test on you after
  two weeks to know whether you are pregnant or
  not.
• In the case of donor egg or donor sperm, the
  process is the same. And you have to do what your
  doctor instructs you if you are serious about
  having a child.
