IVF Treatment with Cytoplasmic Transfer

Cytoplasmic transfer is not a method of treatment on its own. Indeed it is a procedure used with IVF/ICSI Treatment. As one of the latest innovations in IVF Treatment, it was created mainly to help women who experience infertility because of deficient or damaged mitochondria which is contained within an egg's cytoplasm. Mitochondria provides the necessary energy for cell growth as well as efficient cell division. Therefore a deficiency in mitochondria will prevent successful cell growth and cell division. Consequently, it may cause recurrent implantation failures, high levels of embryo fragmentation, poor embryo quality and development, and last but not least a failed IVF.

The main difference of IVF/ICSI involving a cytoplasmic transfer and a regular IVF/ICSI is that, the former uses not only the patient's own eggs but also donor eggs in order to obtain healthy mitochondria from young and healthy donor eggs. Healthy mitochondria will aid rejuvenate the patient's eggs and thus, maximize the chances of success.

As North Cyprus IVF, we have been offering Cytoplasmic Transfer to our patients since 2012. Even though we do not have sufficient numbers to publish significant statistics, it would be fair to mention that cytoplasmic transfer potentially adds a few percentages to the chances of success for women in their early 40s. Still, please note that; cytoplasmic transfer cannot correct any genetic defects related with the egg that may have caused by older age. We recommend this procedure to patients in their mid 40's. However, given the fact that possibilities of success with own eggs declines considerably after mid 40s, we also recommend Donor Egg IVF treatment especially after a certain age.

At North Cyprus IVF, we are proud to guarantee high quality treatment with maximum service quality standards at affordable low cost. For any further assistance or for a quote, please do not hesitate to send us a message by filling out our contact form.

What is Infertility?

The inability to conceive or inability to carry pregnancy to full term can define Infertility.
Around 10% of women ages 15-44 in the Western population have difficulties getting pregnant or carrying to full term.

Each couple will need to undergo infertility investigation and this could vary depending on a few factors including : how long you have been trying to conceive, your previous history of fertility treatments, age, medication protocols used in previous treatment as well as the history of miscarriage or failed treatments.

It is our goal to ensure that each fertility treatment is unique and customized which is why we ask for all possible information before beginning your treatment.

Quels tests avez-vous besoin pour le traitement?

Nous avons besoin d' une série de tests pour la fertilité évaluation / remise en forme pour la grossesse ainsi que le dépistage des maladies infectieuses . Chaque épreuve que nous commandons sert un but différent et chacun de ces essais aura une incidence sur votre traitement .

Pour l'évaluation de la fertilité , nous demander à chaque patiente d'avoir la suite du test effectué le jour 2 ou 3 jours de leur cycle menstruel : FSH , LH , Estradiol , prolactine , TSH et tests hormonaux AMH . Le test AMH est indépendant de votre cycle menstruel et peut être fait à tout moment , mais nos patients trouver plus facile d'avoir tous les tests effectués le même jour lors de leur visite à leur médecin . Il sera également important d'avoir une échographie pelvienne de la ligne de base au cours de cette visite pour la numération des follicules antraux dans les ovaires et vérifier qu'il n'y a pas de problèmes majeurs visibles dans l'utérus qui peuvent interférer avec une grossesse réussie .

Le patient de sexe masculin est nécessaire d'avoir une analyse du sperme fait . Surtout si il n'a pas eu un enfant dans le passé proche , il sera important d'observer les paramètres du sperme tels que nombre / volume / mobilité / morphologie / niveau de pH et le nombre de cellules rondes . Dans certains cas , une petite infection dans le sperme peut compromettre l'ensemble du processus , par conséquent, il est important d'être préparé pour les précautions possibles que nous pourrions avoir besoin de prendre .

Tous les patients qui suivent un traitement à notre pratique sont tenus de se soumettre au dépistage des maladies infectieuses . Cela inclut les patients qui subissent des traitements de donateurs ainsi . Il ya trois raisons principales pour le dépistage des maladies infectieuses :
1 - Pour protéger la propagation des maladies infectieuses dans notre laboratoire et pour éviter d'exposer d'autres patients à ces maladies .
2 - Pour éviter d'exposer les embryons à des maladies infectieuses qui pourraient venir de leurs parents .
3 - Pour protéger le personnel de laboratoire de l'exposition aux maladies infectieuses lors de la manipulation d'ovules et de sperme .
La validité des tests de maladies infectieuses est de six ( 6) mois . Tant que les patients ont leur test effectué dans le délai de 6 mois avant leur temps de traitement , nous n'avons pas besoin d' un test de répétition . Toutefois, si les patients n'ont pas les résultats des tests actuels , alors nous allons administrer ces tests ici à notre pratique avant de manipuler tous les échantillons .
Seuls les résultats des essais cliniques et des hôpitaux de renom seront acceptées, et les résultats des tests originaux devront être présentés au moment de votre première visite . Les photocopies et les pièces jointes numérisées ne sont acceptés comme preuve temporaire de test jusqu'à ce que nous voyons les originaux .
Les tests de maladies infectieuses exigés par notre pratique sont les suivants :
Pour patient: Anti- VIH , anti- VHC , AgHBs , VDRL , rubéole IgG , IgG anti-CMV , toxoplasmose et IgG
Pour les patients de sexe masculin : Anti- VIH , anti- VHC , AgHBs , VDRL .

Which tests will you require for treatment?

We require a series of tests for fertility assessment / fitness for pregnancy as well as infectious disease screening. Each and every test that we order serves a different purpose and each one of these tests will have an implication for your treatment.

For assessment of fertility, we ask each female patient to have the following testing done on day 2 or day 3 of their menstrual cycle: FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin, TSH and AMH hormone tests. The AMH test is independent from your menstrual cycle and can be done at any time, but our patients find it easier to have all the tests done on the same day during their visit to their doctor. It will also be important to have a base line pelvic ultrasound scan during this visit for antral follicle count in the ovaries and to check that there are no major visible problems in the uterus that can interfere with a successful pregnancy.

The male patient is required to have a semen analysis done. Especially if he has not had a child in the near past, it will be important to observe sperm parameters such as count/volume/motility/morphology/pH level and round cell count. In some cases, a small infection in sperm can compromise the whole process, therefore, it is important to be prepared for possible precautions that we may need to take.

All patients undergoing treatment at our practice are required to undergo infectious disease screening. This includes patients undergoing donor treatments as well. There are three main reasons for infectious disease screening:

1- To protect the spread of infectious diseases at our lab and to avoid exposing other patients to these diseases.

2- To avoid exposing embryos to infectious diseases that might come from their parents.

3- To protect lab personnel from exposure to infectious diseases when handling egg and sperm cells.

The validity of infectious disease testing is six (6) months. As long as patients have their testing done within the 6 month period prior to their treatment time, we do not require a repeat test. However,if patients do not have current test results, then we will administer these tests here at our practice prior to handling any samples.

Only the test results from reputable clinics and hospitals will be accepted, and original test results will need to be presented at the time of your first visit.  Photocopies and scanned email attachments are only accepted as temporary proof of testing until we see the originals.

The infectious disease tests required by our practice are as follows:

For female patient: Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV, HbsAg, VDRL, Rubella IgG, CMV IgG, and Toxoplasmosis IgG

For male patient: Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV, HbsAg, VDRL.

Egg Freezing in North Cyprus

An egg freezing cycle is very much like an IVF cycle where your ovaries are stimulated through the use of medication in order to obtain multiple good quality eggs. In an IVF cycle, the process does not stop here and continues until successful transfer of embryos into the uterus, where an egg freezing cycle does not aim that. The aim in an egg freezing cycle is to obtain as many good quality eggs as we possibly can, and freeze those eggs at our facilities for use at a future point in time. Given that we will be aiming for an optimal count and quality of eggs during this procedure, we will need plan your treatment very carefully so that the outcome pleases us all.

The first step in planning your treatment is to determine what type of a medication regimen will be in order so that we can optimize our results. To do so, we will need you to undergo a number of hormone tests so that we can make an assessment of your ovarian reserves and egg quality and proceed accordingly. The tests are administered on day 2 or day 3 of your menstrual period and are as follows:

- A base line pelvic scan (This is a simple ultrasound scan)

Blood tests:
- FSH
- LH
- Estradiol
- Prolactine
- TSH
- AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) test.

Based on these results, we will be able to identify the right medication protocol and prepare you for the procedure.
