How can I increase the chances of success of IVF?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an effective treatment for female and male infertility. The success of an IVF program depends on many factors, including the age of the couple, the duration of the existing infertility problem, the number and quality of the embryos obtained, and the state of the uterine endometrium of the woman. These factors are important because the quality of eggs and sperm decreases with age, which can reduce the likelihood of successful fertilization and implantation. The duration of infertility may indicate the presence of chronic reproductive problems. The quality of embryos directly affects their ability to develop after transfer, and the state of the endometrium determines how favorable the environment is for the implantation and growth of the embryo. Lifestyle and the presence of bad habits also play an important role.

The main factors influencing the effectiveness of IVF treatment

According to experts, the effectiveness of treatment depends 80% on the quality of the embryo transferred to the uterus and 20% on the state of the uterine endometrium, that is, its preparation for the implantation of the embryo. These findings are supported by studies published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, which emphasize the importance of high embryonic quality and optimal endometrial health for the success of IVF. The quality of the embryo is primarily determined by the quality of the parents' reproductive cells.

Modern methods of selecting eggs and sperm, advanced in vitro fertilization techniques, and the continued culture of embryos in the laboratory under the supervision of experienced embryologists contribute to increasing the chances of IVF success. Therefore, embryos with the greatest potential for implantation are selected for transfer.

Before the transfer of embryos, the reproductive specialist prepares the patient's uterine endometrium to maximize the chances of successful implantation. This involves the use of hormonal medications such as estrogen and progesterone to help thicken and increase the receptivity of the endometrium. In some cases, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists are used to control ovulation and improve synchronization with embryo development. Medications aimed at improving blood circulation in the uterus and low-dose aspirin may also be prescribed to optimize implantation conditions.

Modern technologies to improve the effectiveness of IVF

To increase the chances of successful pregnancy, the NatuVitro clinic uses all currently available assisted reproductive technologies (ART), which include modern methods of fertilization, embryo culture, and preparation of the body for pregnancy:

• IMSI, PICSI - methods for selecting the best sperm to improve fertilization quality;
• Microfluidic chip for efficient sperm sorting and selection of the most viable sperm;
• ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), a technique that allows sperm to be injected directly into the egg;
• Cell and embryo culture in a specialized Embryoscope creates optimal conditions for their growth and development;
• Timelapse - a continuous observation technology of embryo development, which allows for selecting the most promising embryos for transfer;
• Preimplantation genetic diagnosis of embryos (NGS, FISH, aCGH, PCR) to identify potential genetic abnormalities and increase the likelihood of successful implantation;
• Laser-assisted hatching, a technique that facilitates the embryo's implantation process in the endometrium by dissecting its membrane.

IVF is a complex multi-step process, the success of which depends on many factors. The use of modern technologies and the individual approach to each patient at the "NatuVitro" clinic can significantly increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.
