- Consultation with specialist
The consultation is the first step for evaluating the couple, to understand if they are in clinical condition to conceive a child. At this time, an analysis is also made to understand whether IVF is, in fact, the best solution for them. In some cases, some prior treatment for IVF may be required.Thus, a good consultation with a qualified professional is indispensable to avoid greater physical and psychological exhaustion.
After the consultation, the couple must perform serologies, teststhat assess previous and currentinfections, for safety during pregnancy. It is the clinic's obligation to archive copies of the results of all tests.
- Ovulation monitoring
Ovarian stimulation is a crucial step during surrogacy program in Indo Nippon IVF clinic. In it, the woman is injected with hormones to induce the growth of the largest number of ovarian follicles. After this step, the eggs will be collected and fertilized with the sperm in the laboratory.
In ovulation monitoring, serial ultrasounds are performed (usually on alternate days), following several protocols, individualized for each patient.
- Spermogram
For IVF to succeed, it is necessary to investigate the possible causes of female and male infertility.In fact, as a percentage, men and women have the same share of causes that hinder pregnancy.
And it's not just for the woman that age counts when it comes to conception. Male fertility also decreases with age, but less expressed in them thanfemale.
In this sense, it is essential to perform seminal analysis, or spermogram.
In addition to undergo seminal analysis, the patient may need to perform other tests, such as:
- the karyotype with G-band;
- the micro-mouth of the Y chromosome;
- fragmentation of spermatic DNA;
- Capture (puncture) of sperm
Some patients may need advanced technique to pick up sperm when diagnosed with azoospermia (There are no sperms in the ejaculated semen – one of the causes of infertility).
The puncture method removes sperm directly from the testicles or epididymis, by means of a fine needle and syringe. The extracted sperms can be directly used in the laboratory to fertilize the partner's eggs, continuing IVF. The puncture is usually performed with local anaesthesia.
- Freezing (cryopreservation)
There are two types of freezingoptions in Indo Nippon IVF clinic:
- Semen during IVF
If necessary, it is possible to freeze the semen before use in IVF.
- Embryos, ova or semen after IVF
After treatment, embryos, eggs or sperm may remain. The preservation of these materials can be very important if, in the future, the parent wishes to do new treatment or give them.
Preserving genetic materials increases the likelihood of pregnancy in future assisted reproduction processes. With it, the couple avoids going through the whole process of stimulation of the ovaries, follicular aspiration and sperm uptake again.
