IVF Treatment: Making Dreams Come True With Science

IVF treatment (in vitro fertilization) is a major introduction in the medical field that brings numerous mothers’ dreams to life. The fertilization occurs after insemination in the lab. Although most of the people say that the quality of eggs is extremely important to determine the baby’s health, it is not the only factor. Egg and sperm quality, genetics, and uterine environment also play an important role.

What is Microinjection? How does Microinjection work?

In case there is a case of male factor infertility, ICSI can be the best choice here. ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is an IVF technique performed in the lab, using a single sperm and injecting it into the egg’s cytoplasm.

 

Who should consider IVF/ICSI?

  • Those with low sperm count or motility
  • Women with antibodies against sperm cells in the body
  • Individuals with unexplained infertility

 

Phases of IVF TreatmentIVF Treatment

Although it is an extremely comprehensive treatment, IVF contains several stages with each one holding extreme vitality in their own.

Egg Collection

The treatment involves a basic surgical operation. You are put under the effects of mild anesthesia and your eggs are collected from the ovarian follicles.

Sperm Collection

In IVF, the sperm fertilizes the egg in the laboratory. And after that, ICSI is performed.

Embryo Development

After fertilization in the lab, embryos are monitored for several days for multiple cell division stages, and the healthiest one between them is then transferred to the mother.

Advanced Embryo Screening Techniques in Our IVF Clinic

EmbryoScope+ Time-Lapse Monitoring

Our clinic uses EmbryoScope+, a cutting-edge time-lapse incubator that continuously monitors the development of embryos without removing them from their ideal environment. This allows our embryologists to select the highest-quality embryos for transfer based on precise cell-division timing.

Research shows that embryos that divide earlier have a higher chance of successful implantation.

Assisted Hatching (AH)

Assisted hatching is performed on the 5th day of embryo development (blastocyst stage). Using a gentle laser, we thin the zona pellucida (the embryo’s outer shell) to assist with implantation.
This technique is particularly helpful in cases such as:

  • Frozen embryos

  • Poor-quality embryos

  • Women over age 37

  • Previous failed IVF attempts

Assisted hatching can improve implantation rates for patients who need extra support during the embryo transfer stage.

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

For couples with known genetic conditions or a family history of inherited disorders, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) offers a powerful solution.
Genetic testing is performed on Day 5 embryos (blastocysts) to screen for inherited diseases and chromosomal abnormalities before transfer.

PGD increases the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reduces the risk of passing on genetic conditions to the baby.
