For couples who require donor oocytes, IVF can also be used.

What are the chances of IVF success?

It depends on many factors such as age, type and length of infertility, ovarian responses, and type of procedure (fresh, vitrified embryo transfer, donor eggs, or self-embryo transfer). After a thorough evaluation, your consultant will be able to give you a prognosis. Although there’s no guarantee of happiness, we will do our best to help you.

The process

• Preparatory tests

These will depend on your and your partner’s medical history and age. These include the basic evaluation described in infertility assessments. We will also recommend routine blood tests to assess your physical health. As needed, we may recommend additional tests to determine hormone levels and ovarian reserve.

a. The treatment begins

A check-up must be done on the day you have your period at Fertility World Centre.

b. Ovarian stimulation

In order to increase your chances of having a baby, medication will be given to stimulate the ovaries ability to produce many eggs. Based on your case and reports, you could choose one of the two options. This will be discussed with you by your doctor. The Long Protocol will give injections starting on the 21st day after your previous menstrual cycle. To initiate ovarian stimulation, you will need to return on the 2nd or third day of your next menstrual cycle.

Antagonist Protocol is less painful and requires fewer injections. The entire treatment starts on the second day of your menstrual cycle. Both protocols require that injections be given at approximately the same time each day. Although it is best to visit the hospital to get your injections, if you are unable to, our medical staff can teach you how to self-administer the injections. Or you can have them administered locally by a doctor. Some side effects of these medications, such as acidity or discomfort, can be mild.

c. Ultrasound examination

Regular intervals are conducted to check the response of your ovaries to the injections. Your doctor may recommend that you cancel your IVF cycle if the response is not satisfactory. This is a joint decision between your doctor and you.

d. HCG injection/GnRH inject

This is used to activate the final maturation and make the eggs ready for collection. It usually takes between 34 and 36 hours.

e. Ovum picks up (egg collection).

Transvaginal sonography is used to remove eggs from the ovaries. It takes between 15 to 30 minutes. Your response to the injections will determine how many eggs are collected. After the procedure, you can return home in about 2 hours. You may experience some discomfort in the abdomen and vaginal spotting, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few days.

Sperm collection

A fresh sample of semen is usually collected the day after ovum pick up (egg collection). It is not always possible for men to provide a sample of their semen on request. In these cases, the sample may be taken to another location and returned to the center within 30 min. To get the best sample, it is recommended to abstain for at least three days. Lubricants are not allowed. If a fresh sample is not possible or the husband is unavailable on the day of egg collection, you can use a previously frozen sample. We recommend that you keep a frozen sample of your semen for such an eventuality.

After ovum collection, the eggs will either be fertilized in the laboratory by ICSI or standard IVF. The embryologist will inspect the eggs the next day for fertilization and then for the development of the embryos. If more than three embryos are fully developed, they can be frozen for later transfer if needed.

Embryo

This takes place 2,3, or 5 days following egg collection. We will discuss with you the date of the embryo transfer as well as the number of embryos that will be transferred. The embryo is placed through the cervix and into the uterus using a thin, flexible tube made of soft plastic. This procedure can be guided by sonography. You will receive medication to support the luteal stage after the transfer. It is possible to freeze embryos that are not of good quality for later use.

Pregnancy test

Two weeks after embryo transfer, you will receive beta-hCG testing to confirm that gestation has occurred. A vaginal ultrasound scan 1 week later will confirm pregnancy and show the gestational sac if the test is positive. The treatment you receive if your beta-hCG test comes back negative will depend on whether or not you have frozen embryos.

Precautions after an IVF treatment

All vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and any other activities that require jarring or potentially damaging movements (cycling/jogging/skiing/tennis, etc.) are discouraged. They are generally discouraged. All activities that are routine in daily life are permitted.

As prescribed by your doctor, you should take the medications that are prescribed for you to increase your chances of getting pregnant. You might be asked to continue taking these medications until you are 12 weeks pregnant. This is when your body normally starts producing enough. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and exposure to X-rays. Before you take any medication, please consult your physician.
