The IVF process begins
to end
Step
by step through the IVF cycle
The
IVF cycle is how we define a single cycle of IVF treatment starting on the
first day of your period.
As
part of your reproductive system, you can start the medicine or vaccine before
the first day of the cycle.
Step 1: Day 1 of your time
your
IVF treatment cycle starts on day 1 of your period. Everyone's body is
different, and your fertility nurse will help you understand how to master day
1.
Step 2: Ovary Stimulation
Influence
phase begins on day 1. In the natural cycle of the moon, your eggs usually
produce 1 egg. You will take the drug in 8 to 14 days to stimulate your egg
follicles (where the eggs live) to produce more eggs.
Your
technician determines the specific medicine in your body and the treatment
farm. Usually they are a variety of injections, which can vary from 1-2 per
cycle, or 1-2 per day.
It can be exhausting, but your fertility nurse
will show you exactly how and where to give the injections. You can get your
partner involved and watch and learn together for good. Soon it becomes a habit
and you will become an expert in no time.
Common
hormones in the drugs used to stimulate follicles are:
•
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
•
luteinizing hormone (LH).
We
keep an eye on your eggs and how follicles improve with blood tests and
ultrasounds. Your medicine will be changed if needed. You will have
transvaginal ultrasounds (probe inserted inside). Our team will support you
through these processes and make you as comfortable as possible.
We
will follow you more often until the end of the rehabilitation phase to get in
touch during the 'trigger process'.
The
trigger injection makes eggs ready for ovulation - a natural process in which
eggs are released and you have your turn.
Your gynecologist tells you when to trigger
the injection. Your fertility specialist will arrange the egg restoration
before removing the eggs.
Step 3: Egg retrieval:
Egg
restoration, or egg 'take', is a hospital day procedure in which eggs are
collected from your eggs. The anesthetist will prepare you for a general
anesthetic. You will be asleep and the process takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Your
fertility specialist uses the latest ultrasound technology to guide the needle
into each ovary. It is a daunting task where every millimeter is calculated,
and this is where our professional experience pays off. You can't see an egg
with a naked eye; they contain the fluid inside your egg yolks.
The specialist removes the fluid from the
folliclic that looks like it is old enough to have an egg inside.
Your
fertility specialist should have the right idea from your ultrasounds how many
eggs are before the restoration. The average number of eggs collected is 8-15.
The
recovery takes 30 minutes and you will be able to walk alone. It is a good idea
to have a support person with you as you cannot drive after the procedure.
Step 4: Sperm:
If
a couple plans to use a new sperm, the male will produce a sample on the
morning of the egg restoration. If you use frozen or donut sperm, our
scientists will prepare it for the label.
Sperm
is measured using 4 different levels. It is bathed in a special mixture to slow
down so that our scientists can see the best under the microscope.
A
full and healthy sperm is neither too large nor too small, with a long tail or
short tail. The best sperm were selected, and ready and waiting in the lab for
egg delivery.
Step 5: Fertilization:
Your
fertility specialist gives our scientists the eggs they have found, which are
still in the lumps of the eggs. Scientists use powerful microscopes to detect
eggs in the liquid for removal.
It
is important that the eggs are covered immediately. The eggs and some sperm are
put into the bowl.
Step 6: Embryonic development:
If
sperm fertilizes an egg, it becomes an embryo. Our scientists implant the
embryo into a special incubator where the conditions of growth and development
are complete.
We
create perfect growth conditions using amino acid mixes, just as your body can
use to grow an embryo.
Our
scientists pay attention to embryos over 5-6 days. What we want is:
•
embryo of two to four cells on day 2 and embryo six to eight on day 3 (called cleavage
phase)
We
know how to implant embryos at the blastocyst stage during the cervix
strengthens your chances of successful pregnancy.
Unfortunately,
not all eggs will be fertilized and reach the stage of the embryo. The eggs may
not be mature or the sperm may not be strong enough. We know you will be
charged with waiting for the news, so we will keep you up to date on the
development of your egg, sperm and embryo development.
Section 7: Embryo Transfer
If
your embryo grows in a lab, you are ready to be transferred to your womb.
Your
pediatrician will contact you to explain what you need to do to prepare.
An
embryo transfer is a very simple procedure, such as a pap smear. It takes 5
minutes, you will wake up, there are no surprises, and you can get up quickly.
You can continue with your day, the embryo will not collapse when you stand up
or go to the toilet.
The
scientist prepares your embryo by inserting it into a small tube called a
catheter. It is important that this work is done by an expert to disturb the
embryo as little as possible.
your
obstetrician or gynecologist puts a tube through your uterus and into your
uterus.
Step 8: Final blood test:
About
two weeks after the embryo transfer, you will have a blood test to measure your
hCG hormone levels (human chorionic gonadotropin). hCG in your bloodstream
usually means a good pregnancy test. Your nurse will inform you exactly when
you need your blood test, as it may differ from other patients.
