IVF which is the common term for In Vitro
Fertilization, is the process of creating an embryo using the egg and sperm in
a laboratory environment. Once the embryos have been formed, the embryo
transfer is physically placed in the uterus.
Here is the step by step process of the
procedure:
Before embarking on the IVF procedure, we ask
that you have some initial hormone test results for evaluation. These tests are
FSH, LH, E2 and Prolactin and are normally done between day 2-4 of the
menstrual cycle. An alternative
test would be the AMH which can be done on any day of the cycle.
Once you are considered a qualified candidate,
the process can begin.
The first step is to begin with the ovulation
induction with the assistance of fertility medications to control the timing
and mutliple growth of the egg. The medication regimen will depend on each
individual case and will be prescribed accordingly.
In order to shorten the stay in Cyprus, we
monitor your medication intake to ensure good development of the follicles.
Beginning the medication protocol in your home country will help keep you visit
in Cyprus to 6-7 nights.
Egg retrieval is done upon arrival in Cyprus
with the assistance of ultrasound imaging that guides the hollow needle through
the pelvic cavity. In order to increase your comfort, light sedation and local
anesthesia are used during this process. The eggs are removed by follicular
aspiration.
At the same time that the eggs are collected,
the sperm is also collected from the male partner. This is generally done via
ejaculation but if there are any problems with it there are procedures that can
be used to extract the sperm manually.
Insemination is the name of the process where
the eggs and sperm are placed in incubators for the fertiliztion to occur. Most
times however, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is used for greater
accuracy of fertilization.
The fertilized eggs are then monitored for 3
days until they have grown enough for the embryo transfer.
During the final stage of the process which is
the embryo transfer, a speculum is inserted into the vagina in order to expose
the cervix. 2-3 embryos are then suspended in fluid and gently placed in the womb
through a catheter. This process is also guided by ultrasound in order to
confirm accuracy of embryo placement. 10-12 days after the embryo transfer the
patient is asked to undergo a blood test in order to find out if the
fertilization process was successful.
