What is IVF Treatment
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a widely recognized assisted reproductive technology that has helped countless individuals and couples achieve pregnancy. IVF involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body in a controlled laboratory environment. After fertilization, the resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus, increasing the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.
Types of IVF Treatment
We offer various types of IVF treatment, tailored to meet the individual needs of our patients. Our fertility specialists will carefully evaluate your medical history, perform necessary tests, and consider any underlying conditions or concerns you may have. Based on this evaluation, we will recommend the most suitable type of IVF treatment for you. Some of the options we offer include:
Conventional IVF: This is the standard IVF procedure, where multiple eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized in the laboratory, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): ICSI is a specialized technique used when sperm quality or quantity is a concern. It involves injecting a single sperm directly into the egg to facilitate fertilization.
Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): FET involves using previously frozen embryos from a previous IVF cycle or through egg or embryo donation. These embryos are thawed and transferred to the uterus during a designated cycle.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): PGT is an advanced technique that screens embryos for specific genetic conditions or chromosomal abnormalities before implantation. This helps increase the chances of a successful pregnancy and reduces the risk of passing on genetic disorders.
Requirements & Evaluation
At Yapita Health, we conduct a thorough evaluation before starting the IVF treatment process. This evaluation includes looking into your medical history, performing fertility tests, and addressing any concerns or underlying conditions you may have. By doing this evaluation, we make sure that your treatment plan is customized to meet your individual needs.
IVF Treatment Procedure
Once the evaluation is complete and a customized treatment plan is created, the IVF treatment procedure will commence. The primary steps involved in the IVF treatment process are as follows:
Ovarian Stimulation: Medications are administered to enhance egg production and maturation, increasing the chances of successful fertilization.
Egg Retrieval: The mature eggs are retrieved using a minimally invasive procedure known as follicular aspiration. This procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance, ensuring comfort and safety.
Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are then fertilized with the partner's sperm or donor sperm in a controlled laboratory environment.
Embryo Culture and Monitoring: The fertilized eggs develop into embryos, which are cultured and monitored in the laboratory for a few days.
Embryo Transfer: The best-quality embryos are carefully selected and transferred to the uterus, using a thin catheter guided by ultrasound imaging. This process is typically painless and does not require anesthesia.
After the Procedure
After the embryo transfer, our team will provide guidance and support throughout the crucial post-procedure phase. We understand that this can be an emotionally challenging time, and we are here to provide the necessary care and address any concerns you may have.
Recovery
Following the IVF treatment procedure, a period of recovery is required to allow the embryos to implant in the uterus. Our fertility specialists will outline specific guidelines regarding rest, physical activity, and any necessary medications to support the implantation process. We strongly encourage open communication during this time to ensure the best possible chances of success.
