IVF Treatment
The whole process of IVF is divided in 6 steps. Here each of them is explained briefly:
• Preparing the ovary: Before the D-day, first the mock embryo transfer is done to check the health level of the body of mother, it is called mock embryo transfer. This is the test that doctor perform to prepare their timeline and procedure of the final day's treatment. This is done in exactly the same way but it is less painful and takes only few minutes. After this test only, doctor prepares their work of line.
• Ovarian Monitoring: Then begins the serious work. The egg coming from the ovary is kept on monitoring and doctors try to keep as many fertilized eggs as possible for future to increase the success rate. During this period, regular team work from the couple and doctors is needed because this is the most crucial time and the most time consuming part of the process as well. Various tests will be done in this phase of the cycle and regular interaction between the doctor and the couple is mandatory.
• The retrieval of the egg: The stimulation and monitoring will end with the retrieval of the egg from the ovary. Timing is very important for this phase of the cycle. The retrieval of the egg should be done just before the expected time of the ovulation of ovary. Man's semen is also collected on the same day and is frozen for further tests and other things to keep it healthy and strong enough till the time it finally meets the egg to form embryo.
• Embryo Development (Lab Work): These are the works that are done behind the doors of the laboratory under the supervision of the experts. The meeting of man's semen and woman's egg is carried out in this stage of the cycle. Various embryos are created and examined for few days. The one which seems healthy enough to get transferred in the mother's womb is chosen and taken to the next stage.
• Embryo Transfer: This stage takes around 10 minutes to complete. No anesthesia is required is this stage. The main thing involved in this stage is the decision of number of embryo to be placed in the uterus of the lady. Many complications can be caused with multiple embryo placements; it can result in multiple pregnancies as well. Hence a decision is made before the placement. Once the decision is taken, the embryo will be inserted with the loaded catheterwith a small puff of air. The whole process will be monitored for few more minutes and then the advices will be given to you for the next 2 weeks till pregnancy.
• Pregnancy Test:This is the stage where the result of all the stages will reflect. We do hope for the best and wishes that the pregnancy appears within 14 days of the embryo transfer but if it doesn't happen, consult the doctor again.
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
As a method of assisted reproduction, IUI has gained tremendous popularity all across the globe and is now preferred by fertility specialists worldwide.
IUI is the preferred mode of conception when the chief causes of infertility can be ascribed to the male partner which might be low sperm count, low sperm motility, impaired sperm movement.
IUI procedure
In a typical IUI procedure, fertility specialists will place a fresh, washed sperm close to the eggs in the uterus of the female patient at the time of ovulation.
• Fertility specialists prescribe certain medications at the beginning of the menstrual cycle to the female patient in order to hasten the process of developing mature eggs in the ovaries for fertilization.
• At times, formulations like gonadotropin may be used to hasten the process. Thereafter an ultrasound scan is done to locate the egg so that IUI can be done at the best time.
• Sperms are inserted into the uterus after 40 hours of gonadotropin injection. At times, the male partner may be asked to offer a fresh sample and this sperm is inserted directly into the uterus near the fallopian tube. Higher the amount of sperm inserted, greater are the chances of conception.
Our experience has shown that couples who are unable to have normal sexual intercourse owing to factors such as spinal injury, diabetes, premature ejaculation can leverage IUI to conceive and have a child who has the same characteristics as them.
IVF (In-Vitro fertilization)
If you are reading this, then chances are you are planning to start a family but have not been successful on your own inspite of both you and your partner having regular intercourse without any contraceptives. Do not feel depressed as infertility is a global problem owing to the stressful lifestyles being led by men and women all across the globe. IVF treatment has become a household name and even in smaller towns and cities in West Bengal, it is no longer unthinkable to go for assisted reproduction.
• In-vitro = Fertilization happening outside the body of a living organism in a culture dish, test-tube unlike in-vivo which takes place within the body of a living organism.
• Unlike artificial insemination where the sperm is placed in the uterus and conception happens otherwise normally, IVF involves, combining eggs and sperm outside the body in a laboratory to form the embryo.
Once the embryo is formed, embryologists place it in the uterus. IVF is the best suited treatment methodology in cases where:
• The female partner has endometriosis or has problems in uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovulation.
• The male par tner suffers from low sperm counts or sperm is unable to penetrate or survive in the cervical mucus.
• The cause of infertility is idiopathic. i.e. it cannot be diagnosed in the normal course with routine tests and procedures.
The most important thing to remember is that infertility is a challenge for the medical fraternity worldwide and new techniques are being evolved in order to address this challenge. Do not feel guilty that your food habits, lifestyle has a role to play in it as it will kick-start depression and take you to a downward spiral. Infertility can also be due to a genetic or hereditary problem.
