I.V.F.
IVF: the patient is first treated with fertility drugs to stimulate the production of mature eggs. After that the eggs are retrieved from the body and treated with a method named sperm washing. When the eggs start to show signs of fertilization, they are reinserted in the womb of the patient.
Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection: used on males, sperms are injected to an egg to increase the fertility chances.
Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI): by means of this process the specialists are able to discard the sperms those are having abnormal nuclei shape. Only the potential sperms are used and are known to show good deal of success rates.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation Test: determines the fragmentation potential of the sperm, the less fragmentation is the more chances of pregnancy are there.
Assisted Hatching: women having polycystic ovaries have hardened zona pellucida, which hinders fertilization; this is first treated with medications to thin it to make it ready for hatching.
Blastocyst Transfer: requires 3 to 5 embryos for the blastocyst transfer, where the embryos are cultured for up to 5 days, till it grows to formulate a blastocyst.
Third Party Reproduction:
Gamete (Egg & Sperm) Donation & Embryo Donation: here donor’s gamete is used to fertilize the eggs or vice versa.
Donor Insemination (DI): Involves male donors, sperms are taken from their body to test the chance of fertilization.
Egg Donation: Involves female donors, eggs are taken from her body and treated with sperms to test the chances of fertilization.
Embryo Donation: an embryo is developed by combining donor’s egg and sperm. The patient’s uterus is treated with hormonal medications before the embryo is planted.
Surrogacy (Renting a Womb): involves implanting a couple’s embryo into another women’s womb.
Cryopreservation (Freezing and Storage):
Cryopreservation of sperms: Preserves sperms donated by other males in a facility and are used in the fertilization processes.
Cryopreservation of embryos: Preserves potentially good embryos in a facility and implanted in the woman’s womb as per the requirements.
These are some of the methods that are used in IVF to increase the pregnancy success rate. However, the success rate is based on several factors like age, and health condition.
