Vitamins and IVF

Vitamins are an essential part of your treatment. It has been shown that folic acid supplements not only help you maintain a healthy pregnanyc, but also help with your baby’s neural development, therefore, it is important to start using folic acid prior to embryo transfer and continue using for the duration of your pregnancy.

Similarly, use of Vitamin C tablets (precisely, 500 mg) has been identified with increased quality of eggs retrieved, therefore, it will be important to use vitamin C supplements daily for at least 2-3 weeks prior to egg retrieval.

Finally, because your daily food intake may not provide you with all the essential nutrients, it will be important to use a prenatal vitamin complex prior to and throughout your pregnancy. Pregnacare or any other one-a-day prenatal vitamin complex will be useful.

Where to get your scans?

Since majority of our patients come from abroad, and given that in our hectic lives, we all have work/family or other commitments, not everyone is able to travel for treatment for a long period of time. In order to shorten the length of your stay without compromising your chances of success, our protocols are prepared so that you can have access to your medication and follow a certain treatment calendar prior to your arrival in Cyprus. This minimizes your stay down to 8 days. However, in the meanwhile, while you are using your medication, you will need to have a couple of scans in order to observe how you are responding to the medication and whether we need any dose adjustments or additional supplements. For this end, you can either see your own gynecologist for the scans if they are willing to cooperate, or use one of the locations we recommend.

1- For UK patients, Baby Bond is a great place for the scans. The scans are reasonably priced and you are able to get last minute appointments. The best thing about baby bond is, they have locations all over the UK, please visit http://www.babybond.com for more specific information about location and appointments.

2- For US patients, we have a number of locations that we can recommend. However, since the US has a very large geaography, our locations may need air travel, which may not be convenient to all patients. Please ask Ahmet directly about the US locations.

3- For Turkey patients, there is a location almost in every city where we can recommend for your scans, please ask Ahmet about these locations.

4- For patients from the Netherlands, we have a local representative who will be in charge of all the preliminary work, Mr. Bert Van Delen. We will get you in touch with him once you are admitted into our treatment program.

5- For other locations, please ask us if we have any recommendations. We have options for patients from Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France, but only in the capitals.

Voyager à Chypre

Notre clinique est située à Nicosie, Chypre du Nord. La aéroport le plus proche de notre clinique est de l'aéroport d'Ercan. Tous les vols à destination de l'aéroport d'Ercan ne passent par l'une des villes en Turquie, il n'y a pas de vols directs. La route la plus directe dans Ercan serait de voler à travers Istanbul.

Une autre alternative est l'aéroport de Larnaca dans le sud. Il est situé à environ 60 km au sud de notre clinique, et prend environ une heure pour parcourir. Parfois, les vols à destination de Larnaca peut être beaucoup moins cher en fonction de la saison, donc vérifier les deux aéroports prendra tout son sens avant de réserver vos vols.

Repeated IVF Failures

IVF failures are one of the most depressing experiences a couple can go through in their IVF journey. Having experienced several failed attempts can be very depressing and frustrating, especially when there is no explanation provided for them. At North Cyprus IVF, we make sure our patients are thoroughly analyzed before attempting another IVF cycle so that some known possibilities can be ruled out. Once a couple go through the standard testing procedures and these tests are inconclusive of the factors of infertility, then additional factors need to be taken into consideration. Some of the possibilities which need to be taken into consideration are as follows:

Uterine infection
The inside of the uterine cavity is normally considered to be a sterile environment. It has been strongly suspected that infection of the uterine cavity with bacteria may cause an inhospitable environment that would lead to failure of embryos to implant. In cases where there is a reason to suspect a uterine infection, an endometrial biopsy procedure may be called for in order to make an effective assessment. Normally, infections can be treated with antibiotic use. There are also other infectious diseases that can be considered during this investigation such as CMV IgG, Chlamydia and more.

Immune factors as a cause for IVF implantation failure
The immune system is designed to protect individuals from infection with microorganisms and to fight off abnormal processes in the body like cancer. In the areas of IVF, infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, there has been an extensive amount of investigation as to the role of immune factors in the implantation process of the embryos. In some cases, the immune system is believed to see the embryo as a foreign object and reject its implantation.

Thrombophilias
Thrombophilias are conditions that result in an increased chance for blood clotting. There have been many studies showing an association between the presence of thrombophilias in women and the risk for miscarriage. Some studies also indicate that thrombophilias can also be associated with implantation failures. Certain genetic tests help identify the existence of thrombophilias in the female partner.

Infertility Investigation

Infertility is often defined as inability to conceive naturally after trying for one year without any contraception. Women who are able to get pregnant but who are unable to carry pregnancy to full term are also considered to be infertile. About 10% of the US population, and around 9% of the European population between the ages of 15-44 have either difficulty conceiving or carrying pregnancy to full term.

Even though infertility is often perceived as a women's problem due to its direct link to pregnancy, female and male infertility have about the same level of prevalence within the society. About one-third of the causes of infertility are associated with female factor infertility and another one-third is associated with male factor infertility when the rest is either due to a combined male-female factor or unexplained infertility.

If you have been trying to get pregnant for the past one year and have not been able to get pregnant, then you might belong in either one of these groups. For partners who have not been successful at achieving pregnancy for a full year, a series of tests is in order. Infertility investigation works in a dual manner where both partners undergo a testing process. The starting point of infertility testing would be as follows:

- For male partner, a semen analysis is required. Krueger's semen analysis

provides information on sperm count, volume, motility, morphology and

a few more factors. This would be the starting point of infertility investigation.

- For female partner, hormone testing is in order. If the female partner has

regular menstrual periods, then hormone tests such as FSH, LH, Estradiol,

Prolactine and TSH. If the female partner is young, but does not have regular

menstrual periods, then apart from the hormone tests, further investigation

may be necessary to see into the ovarian function and the uterus. Irregular

periods could be due to Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or any other

problems.

When standard hormone testing and sonogram investigations fail to provide an answer, more invasive testing process will be in order. Female partner might be required to have a hysteroscopy as well as certain infectious disease tests such as Chlamydia, CMV IgG and Toxoplasmosis.

When all the above testing processes fail to yield and answer, then thrombophilia defects and immune system problems are to be investigated. Especially for women with repeated miscarriages, thrombophilia is one of the main suspects.

Sometimes, patients who complete their first round of testing can be offered fertility treatment before attempting the more in-depth and invasive tests. This is simply because, the likelihood of belonging in the unexplained infertility group is very high and the expensive testing procedures can be very overwhelming. Therefore, before attempting these tests, an IVF treatment can be attempted first and if the result is negative, then further tests can be performed. In most cases, partners are able to achieve pregnancy without consulting the invasive testing processes.

At North Cyprus IVF, we take into consideration every single factor that can potentially be contributing to your infertility problems. When we ask you to have a series of tests, it is merely due to the fact that we are trying hard to make sure we are able to offer you the most effective type of treatment that is unique and suitable for your specific needs.
