What is in Vitro Fertilisation + donor sperm?
The in vitro fertilization treatment consists of the fertilization of the egg and sperm in the laboratory. It is a complex treatment that requires a joint work with our medical and laboratory team.
In this case, the woman is stimulated to obtain the eggs and in the laboratory the in vitro fertilization is performed with donor sperm previously selected to obtain the embryo that will be transferred to the uterine cavity.
¿In which cases is it indicated?
- The patient presents with semen that has given poor results.
- Azoospermia
- The patient has a genetic or sexually transmitted disease.
- Women who do not have a male partner.
How is the process of the In Vitro Fertilisation + donor sperm?
Study of fertility
The first step in starting in vitro fertilisation treatment is to carry out a study of the woman, as well as her partner, if she has one. The following tests are performed:
- Ultrasound: the state of the ovaries, uterus and endometrium is assessed to confirm that they are in a position to carry a pregnancy.
- Study of infectious diseases or genetic alterations (karyotyping).: The blood test also checks whether the woman has any pathology or alteration that could compromise the health of her future child.
- Ovarian reserve analysis: a blood test is performed to check the levels of different hormones: antimullerian, estradiol and FSH. In addition to the blood test, another test that determines the patient’s ovarian reserve is ultrasound. With it, the antral follicle count can be performed. These antral follicles contain immature eggs or oocytes, which are essential to achieve pregnancy. Study of infectious diseases or genetic alterations (karyotype): the blood test also checks whether the woman has any pathology or alteration that could compromise the health of her future child.
Ovarian stimulation
This second step consists of ovarian stimulation of the woman. Ovarian stimulation is a hormonal treatment that aims to stimulate the ovaries to produce as many oocytes as possible.
This hormonal treatment consists of injections that the patient has to apply daily at home.
The hormones contained in the injected medication are basically three: gonadotropin, GnRH antagonists and hCG drugs.
Ovarian stimulation lasts approximately 10 to 12 days. During this time, the woman will undergo ultrasounds every 48 hours. In this way, the gynecologist will monitor the follicles and will be able to program the most appropriate moment to perform the follicular puncture.
It can be performed in your country of residence with your trusted gynecologist.
At that time, the patient should stop all the medication she was taking and inject an ovulation inducer.
Pick-up of the eggs
36 hours after administering the ovulation inducer, the woman will go to the fertility clinic to undergo a follicular puncture.
Follicular puncture consists of a small surgical procedure to extract the woman’s eggs.
This procedure lasts between 15-20 minutes and is performed under sedation.
After the procedure, the patient rests for a while in the clinic. Afterwards, the patient is discharged to continue with her normal activities.
In vitro fertilization
As soon as the eggs are retrieved, they are taken to the laboratory to be fertilized with the semen sample of the donor . This fertilization gives rise to a series of embryos, which remain under observation for 3 to 5 days.
During this time, the assisted reproduction specialists study the evolution of the embryos and analyze which are suitable for pregnancy.
Transfer of the embryo
After performing the study, our gynecologists transfer a good quality embryo into the woman’s uterus.
Embryo transfer is a very simple and quick procedure. It is performed through a cannula and, since it is painless, it does not require anesthesia. And, therefore, it does not require any recovery time.
Pregnancy Test
Ten days after the embryo transfer, our specialists perform a pregnancy test on the patient. This test is performed by a blood test, as it is more reliable than urine.
If the result of the test is positive, we perform ultrasound checks on the woman to ensure that the evolution of the pregnancy is favorable. If, after the second ultrasound, it is observed that the evolution of the pregnancy is positive, we discharge the patient
¿What is the probability of getting pregnant?
The success rate depends on many factors, most importantly the age and quality of the embryos.
The average pregnancy rate per cycle started is between 29-35%, although this percentage can vary between 10 and 40% depending on the specific circumstances of each patient.
