So, you decided to have a child after yearlong efforts which did not rotary table yield results. And your choice is assisted reproductivetechnology with IVF, PGD, and Surrogacy technology. You will have some questions about what is it? Why is it used? What success does it have and many related questions?We will try to answer at these questions in our discussion.
What is IVF?
In Vitro Fertilization isan advanced ART (assisted reproductivetechnology). IVF is a series of procedures used to treat infertility or genetic problems. It is the processof fertilization by extracting oocytes, taking a sperm sample, and then manually combining an oocyte and sperm into a zygote (fertilized egg) in a laboratorytube. Then, these oocytes go through fission into the embryos. Thereafter, these oocytes develop into embryos and are implanted into the uterus. We control the development of new life by ultrasonography and laboratory analyses. One cycle of IVF takes about two weeks.
In Vitro Fertilization is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology today. The procedure is done using oocytes and sperm from the infertile couple ormay involve oocytes, sperm or embryos from known or anonymous donors. And also, the surrogacy option is greatly possible due to the easy approachability of surrogacy in infertility treatments.
The chances of having a healthy baby using IVF depend on many factors, such asage of parents and the cause of their infertility. Our doctors and fertility specialist will help you to understand how IVF works, the potential risks and whether this method of treating infertility is rightfor you.
Why is IVF used?
IVF may be used to overcome male and female infertility. And there are some female factors for it:women age after 40, genetic problems, certain health condition like fallopian tube damage or blockage, ovulation disorders, premature ovarian failure, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, previous tubal sterilization, impaired sperm production or function, unexplained infertility, Fertility preservation for cancer or other multiple health conditions (at this stage surrogacy can be used) making commercial surrogacy highly acceptable among infertile couples.
The steps of IVF:
- Stimulating production of oocytes. You will be given injections of a medication that ripens the developing oocytes and starts the process of ovulation. Then ultrasound will control the development of the oocytes. Multiple oocytes are desired because someof them will not develop or fertilize enough after fertilization process.Oocytes are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure from a women’s pelvic.The male is asked to produce a sample of sperm, or donor’s sperm is taken.Insemination: thesperm and oocytes are mixed together in a laboratory dish for fertilization. (In some cases where there is a lower probabilityof fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may play a good role. Through this procedure, a single sperm is injected directlyinto the oocyte in an attempt to achieve fertilization.So we get embryos! they are usually transferred into the woman’suterus in three – five days’ time after fertilization.A catheter or small tube is inserted into the uterus (your or surrogate mothers) to transfer the embryos. This procedure is painless for most of the women.Sometimes, PGD is advisable as an assistant technology for IVF. With this test we can see genetic diseases of an embryo or its gender.
Fertilization has been done and now becomesthe most interesting step in all our work. The embryo is 5 -6 days old and it is the best time to make a PGD-test.
What is PGD?
PGD is used to screen specific genetic diseases and its main advantage to avoid selective pregnancy termination as the method makes it highly likely, the process makes the baby will be free of some disease under consideration. The one small embryo cell can tell us the cariotype and the gender of our embryo. And it is the good way for people, who want a certain gender of child. It becomes very useful when there are previous chromosomal or genetic disorders in the family.
How does PGD work?
Special apparatus removes a few of embryo cells, like biopsy. Itdoes not alter the ability of that embryo to develop into a complete, normal pregnancy and it is complete safe for embryo.
Then we start studying the DNA of embryos to select those that carry certain mutations for genetic diseases.
For what do we need PGD?
Pre implantation genetic profiling (PGP) has been suggested as a method to determine embryo quality in IVF, in order to select an embryo that appears to have the greatest chances for successful pregnancy, the healthiest embryo or with certain gender.
What do we do after PGD is done?
When PGD is done, we can choose the embryos, that we need and to start preparing to the implantation.
If all proceduresaresuccessful, implantation typically occurs within around six to ten days. Then our fertility specialist controls the development of embryo by ultrasound and laboratory analyses.
At last, you have your baby. And it doesn’t matter, what way you got before to have this happiness. You are worthy it and you have achieved it.
How successful is In Vitro Fertilization?
The success rate of IVF clinics and providers depends on a number of factors including reproductive history,female age, thecause of infertility, and many other lifestyle factors.Younger candidates of IVF surrogacy are more likely to get pregnant. Women older than 41 are more likely to get pregnant with a donor oocyte. Surrogacy is preferable and encouraged at some ways. IVF Surrogacy is by far the most commonly used and successful high-tech fertility treatment, accounting for more than 99% of ART procedures.
Pons Medical Research is dedicated to help you to know the happiness of maternity and parenthood; you will hold your baby in your hands after having gone through our most effective Commercial Surrogacy program.
