What are the risks of IVF?

IVF doesn't always result in pregnancy, and it can be both physically and emotionally demanding. You should be offered counselling to help you through the process.

There are also a number of health risks involved, including:

• side effects from the medications used during treatment, such as hot flushes and headaches
• multiple births (such as twins or triplets) – this can be dangerous for both the mother and the children
• an ectopic pregnancy – where the embryo implants in the fallopian tubes, rather than in the womb
• ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) – where too many eggs develop in the ovaries

What happens during IVF

IVF treatment involves 6 main stages:

1. suppressing your natural cycle – the menstrual cycle is suppressed with medication
2. boosting your egg supply – medication is used to encourage the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual
3. monitoring your progress and maturing your eggs – an ultrasound scan is carried out to check the development of the eggs, and medication is used to help them mature
4. collecting the eggs – a needle is inserted into the ovaries, via the vagina, to remove the eggs
5. fertilising the eggs – the eggs are mixed with the sperm for a few days to allow them to be fertilised
6. transferring the embryo(s) – 1 or 2 fertilised eggs (embryos) are placed into the womb

Once the embryo(s) has been transferred into your womb, you'll need to wait 2 weeks before taking a pregnancy test to see if the treatment has worked.

What Are The Costs of IVF?

The average cost of an IVF cycle in the U.S. is $12,400, according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. This price will vary depending on where you live, the amount of medications you're required to take, the number of IVF cycles you undergo, and the amount your insurance company will pay toward the procedure. You should thoroughly investigate your insurance company's coverage of IVF and ask for a written statement of your benefits. Although some states have enacted laws requiring insurance companies to cover at least some of the costs of infertility treatment, many states haven't .Costs-of-IVF

What Can I Expect From IVF?

The first step in IVF involves injecting hormones so you produce multiple eggs each month instead of only one.You will then be tested to determine whether you're ready for egg retrieval.

Prior to the retrieval procedure, you will be given injections of a medication that ripens the developing eggs and starts the process of ovulation. Timing is important; the eggs must be retrieved just before they emerge from the follicles in the ovaries. If the eggs are taken out too early or too late, they won't develop normally. Your doctor may do blood tests or an ultrasound to be sure the eggs are at the right stage of development before retrieving them. The IVF facility will provide you with special instructions to follow the night before and the day of the procedure. Most women are given pain medication and the choice of being mildly sedated or going under full anesthesia.

During the procedure, your doctor will locate follicles in the ovary with ultrasound and remove the eggs with a hollow needle. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, but may take up to an hour.

Infertility treatment clinics in Iran

The first and most important step in the infertility treatment process is choosing the right medical center. The expertise of physicians and medical staff, the quality of services provided and the up-to-date equipment are the most important factors in choosing an infertility treatment clinic. Choosing the right infertility treatment center can have a huge impact on the success of the treatment process.

The high cost of treatment at many infertility clinics has prevented many couples from benefiting from these services. But infertility treatment centers in Iran, utilizing up-to-date knowledge and equipment, provide infertility treatment services at global quality and at a lower price than other countries. Therefore, many couples suffering from infertility problems choose infertility treatment clinics in Iran, as their treatment destination.

How is IVF done?

IVF (in Vitro Fertilization) is a common procedure, used to overcome a range of fertility issues. It is a multi-step process involving ovulation induction, egg retrieval, fertilization, culture, and embryo transfer. The IVF process can be explained in these four steps:

 

Ovulation induction

Fertility medications are prescribed to control the timing of the egg ripening and to increase the chance of collecting multiple eggs during one of the woman’s cycles. These drugs are used to stimulate the growth of several eggs in the ovaries. Normally, only one egg grows per month. However, during the IVF treatment process, several eggs are needed. Because, after the fertilization phase, some eggs will not fertilize or they will not grow naturally. Induction ovulation drugs start from 8 to 14 days before the menstruation and you should see your doctor every two or three days to check the ovulation condition.  Depending on the case, normally the ovulation Induction procedure takes 10 to 20 days.

Ovum Pick up:

After the induction ovulation and development of suitable oocytes for fertility, the eggs should be retrieved for in vitro fertilization. Egg retrieval or egg ‘pick up’ is a hospital day procedure where the eggs are collected from your ovaries. An anesthetist will get you ready for a general anesthetic. Your fertility specialist uses the latest ultrasound technology to guide a needle into each ovary and inserts a very thin needle through the upper vaginal wall and removes fluid, which contains eggs, from the follicles of the ovaries. The average number of eggs collected is 8-15. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes.

 

Fertilization and embryo culture:

After the ovum picks up, the embryologist examines the obtained egg to select mature eggs that are suitable for fertilization.

The mature eggs are placed in a culture medium and the sperm transferred to an incubator for fertilization. In IVF, high-motility sperms move to the eggs and fertilize them. Once this occurs, the fertilized eggs are considered embryos.

In condition with the low number and low quality of sperm, the specialist uses intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). It is as an additional part of an IVF treatment cycle which a single sperm is injected into each egg to assist fertilization. If each egg is fertilized, the resulting cell begins to divide and reaches about 10 cells in 3 days. Finally, the embryo is transferred to the uterus within 2 to 5 days after fertilization.

Embryo Transfer

An embryo transfer is the last part of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. Around 2 or 3 days before the embryo transfer, the doctor will choose the best eggs to transfer to the uterus. Sometimes, there are “extra” embryos after an IVF cycle, and most people choose to freeze or cryopreserve their extra embryos. Embryo transfer is a simple procedure that does not require any anesthesia. Embryos are loaded in a soft catheter and are placed in the uterine cavity through the cervix. The procedure is usually painless, but some women experience mild cramping.
