IVF with own oocytes

In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a set of procedures intended to overcome reproductive disorders. During IVF, the oocytes retrieved from a donor or a patient are fertilized by the sperm of a partner or donor in the laboratory outside the human body. The embryo is transferred to the uterus through a catheter after it reaches the proper stage of its development, which takes 5-6 days (at the blastocyst stage). At a consultation with experienced IVF specialists in "Parens Fertility" in Lviv, you can get recommendations regarding this program and its stages.

In vitro fertilization may be performed either with the patient`s own oocytes or donor eggs. The appropriate IVF variant choice is guided by the doctor`s recommendations and medical indications for each case. If your doctor determines that you need to use donor oocytes to conceive a child, our clinic also offers egg donation programs in our egg and sperm bank. What is more, you can even adopt a vitrified embryo through our embryo donation programs or give a chance to other patients to use the embryos you don`t need anymore.

If the examination and test results are not clear or you want to increase your chances to become a happy mom and dad of a healthy baby, our agency offers another solution for our clients – Tandem IVF – a procedure involving fertilization of both patient and donor eggs.

When to consider the IVF with own oocytes?

If you have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility or age-related infertility - IVF with your own eggs can help you make a dream of having the baby come true.

IVF with own eggs might be a good option for you if you have faced the following health issues:

• your fallopian tubes have been damaged, blocked, or removed;
• ovulatory failure;
• endometriosis;
• uterine fibroids;
• poor sperm quality (motility, count, etc.) or male infertility.

In Vitro Fertilization process

IVF with your own oocytes begins with an overall assessment of your fertility and general health and medical checkups to make sure you are fully prepared for the treatment. Both women and men planning to become parents should undergo various tests and examinations. The first stage of IVF treatment itself is ovarian stimulation, which includes daily hormone injections. The doctor prescribes the appropriate type of medication and dosage and monitors the stimulation process every 3-4 days. You should visit regular checkups and ultrasound examinations while you take your medication. Your doctor determines how many days your treatment period should last based on your test and examination results, and it is usually approximately 12 days. If you have no opportunity to spend so much time in Ukraine, we can organize the ovarian stimulation process distantly with online consultations and constant communication. Therefore, you will need to undergo several ultrasound examinations in your country and send their results to us for evaluation.

The next step is egg retrieval. This procedure is carried out under sedative medication and takes up to twenty minutes – guided by ultrasound, the doctor uses the needle to aspirate every mature follicle. After that, you should rest for one or two hours and can leave the clinic. The IVF specialist will continue preparing you for an embryo transfer if this is done in the same cycle.

On the day of oocyte retrieval, your partner must provide a semen sample for fertilization using ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) or PICSI (physiological intracytoplasmic sperm injection) procedures. In the first case, the sperm is introduced directly into an egg, one for each egg. In the second case, sperm is placed in a container with hyaluronic hydrogel, which combines with biochemically active sperm. In this way, the embryologist can select sperm not only visually but also check the quality. In 17 hours, we will see if the egg is fertilized.

On average, doctors fertilize multiple eggs, then vitrify embryos for further use because it`s hard to predict how many attempts will be necessary to achieve the desired motherhood.
