Offers a solution for various causes of infertility, including tubal factors, male factor, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility.Enables the use of advanced techniques like ICSI for severe male factor infertility and PGT for genetic screening.Allows for the use of donor eggs, sperm, or embryos, or gestational surrogacy, expanding family-building options.Provides higher success rates per cycle compared to many other fertility treatments, especially for women over 35.Facilitates family planning by allowing for the cryopreservation (freezing) of excess embryos for future use.
Who is this surgery for?
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes.
- Male factor infertility (low sperm count, poor motility, or morphology).
- Ovulation disorders, diminished ovarian reserve, or premature ovarian failure.
- Endometriosis that has not responded to other treatments.
- Unexplained infertility after thorough evaluation.
- Genetic disorders requiring preimplantation testing to avoid transmission.
- Individuals or couples requiring donor gametes (eggs or sperm) or a gestational carrier.
- Preservation of fertility prior to cancer treatment or for social reasons (egg freezing).
How to prepare
- Comprehensive fertility evaluation for both partners, including blood tests, semen analysis, and ultrasound scans.
- Ovarian reserve testing (AMH, FSH, antral follicle count) to predict response to stimulation.
- Consultation with a reproductive endocrinologist to develop a personalized treatment protocol.
- Administration of hormonal injections (gonadotropins) for 8-14 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
- Regular monitoring via blood tests and transvaginal ultrasounds to track follicle growth and adjust medication.
- Administration of a "trigger shot" (hCG or agonist) to finalize egg maturation before retrieval.
- Lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol/smoking, and taking prescribed supplements (e.g., folic acid).
Risks & possible complications
- Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), a condition where ovaries become swollen and painful.
- Multiple pregnancy, which carries higher risks for both mother and babies (preterm birth, low birth weight).
- Ectopic pregnancy (implantation outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube).
- Risks associated with egg retrieval procedure, such as bleeding, infection, or damage to surrounding organs.
- Stress and emotional strain associated with the treatment process and potential for treatment failure.
- Birth defects: The risk is slightly higher than in natural conception but remains relatively low.
Recovery & hospital stay
- After egg retrieval, rest for 24 hours; mild cramping and bloating are common.
- Embryo transfer is a quick, outpatient procedure typically requiring no anesthesia; rest is advised for the remainder of the day.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and sexual intercourse for a period recommended by your doctor (usually 1-2 weeks post-transfer).
- Progesterone supplementation (via injections, vaginal gels, or suppositories) is often prescribed to support the uterine lining after transfer.
- A pregnancy blood test (beta-hCG) is performed approximately 10-14 days after embryo transfer.
- Emotional support through counseling or support groups is highly recommended throughout the process.
- If successful, prenatal care begins immediately, with an early ultrasound scheduled to confirm viability and number of gestational sacs.
