IVF

HOW IVF IS DONE?

The embryos are placed into the uterus through a thin catheter (embryo transfer) from the cervix. The pregnancy occurs in approximately 50% of the women after these procedures. However, some of these pregnancies end with abortion. Approximately 40% of the couples entering treatment receive their children. This ratio can be as high as 70-80% for many applications. The remaining 20-30% can not have children today despite all the possibilities of modern medicine.

In vitro fertilization therapy is given to stimulate the ovaries of the woman with various medicines (Gonal-F, Puregon, Menopur, Fostimon)

In vitro fertilization is a treatment applied to women who can not conceive with classical methods. Embryos formed as a result of combining male (sperm) and female (egg) progeny cells under laboratory conditions are based on the principle of transfer of the uterus. Fertilization performed under laboratory conditions is achieved either by spontaneous (in vitro fertilization) or by single hand administration of the human sperm into the single egg (microinjection).

What complications can occur after test tube treatment?

In the treatment of IVF, various medicines are used for the development of the ovaries. The drugs used and the doses of these drugs are determined according to the characteristics of the patient.

However, for example, people with polydispersity over syndrome may be over-responsive to the drugs used. For this reason, the ovaries can be over-stimulated.

Twin, triplet, quadruped pregnancies – multiple pregnancies:
Multiple pregnancy is a very sympathetic phenomenon, but it is seen as an unwanted side effect in IVF treatment. In multiple pregnancies, the risk is higher for both the mother and the baby. Even in a variety of situations, the lives of babies and mothers are riskier. Increased number of transferred embryos in IVF treatment increases risk of multiple pregnancy.

It is the most uncommon side effect of IVF treatment. The risk of being seen is higher in OHSS patients. The incidence in IVF treatments was recorded as one.

Bleeding:
During the egg collection stage, the mothers can spot spotting bleeds. It is a common side effect. No treatment is needed. It will recover spontaneously as the egg collection phase takes place.

Infection:
Infection may develop depending on the egg collection process. But they are quite rare cases.

Injury in abdominal organs:
Damage to the abdominal organs during egg collection may occur. This situation is rarely seen when practiced by expert and experienced doctors.

Other problems that can occur in IVF treatment:

• Despite the drugs used, the desired number of eggs can be developed.
• Adequate eggs may not be collected. In this case, in vitro fertilization may fail.
• Fertilization may not occur if the sperm and egg cells are not of good quality.
• The embryo may not be able to hold the womb.
• Treatment may be canceled due to such problems.
• How can i determine my fertile period?
• Your fertile period is the time during which having sex could lead to a pregnancy. This is the 4-6 days prior to ovulation (release of a mature egg from the ovary).
• Women normally ovulate 14 days prior to the date of the next menstrual period.

How does age affect a woman’s ability to have children?

A woman’s age can be a major issue for reproduction because women never generate new eggs after they are born. All the eggs that a woman will possess for life are already present in her ovaries at birth. Due to the normal aging process, potentially unfavorable cellular and chromosomal changes occur within the eggs, resulting in Down Syndrome, miscarriages and overall lower pregnancy rates. We offer special fertility treatment strategies which may improve the outcome in certain cases.
