Program “Basic”

Програма запліднення за технологією ICSI без сегментації циклу

У програмі “Базова” запліднення яйцеклітин проводиться методом ICSIintracytoplasmic sperm injection. Ембріолог відбирає сперматозоїд і вводить його безпосередньо в цитоплазму підготовленої яйцеклітини, which makes it possible to control the stage of fertilization in the laboratory.

Програма передбачає fresh-перенесення — перенесення ембріона в порожнину матки в тому самому циклі, у якому проводилися стимуляція, пункція та запліднення. Такий формат допомагає пройти основні етапи програми без додаткового циклу підготовки до перенесення та без обов’язкової кріоконсервації ембріонів. Остаточне рішення щодо fresh-перенесення лікар приймає з урахуванням медичної ситуації пацієнтки та сприятливих умов для перенесення.

STAGES OF THE PROGRAM

01

Controlled ovarian stimulation

With the help of medicines, the growth of a group of follicles is stimulated, in which the eggs are maturing. Stimulation takes place under the supervision of a doctor: with the help of ultrasound and, if necessary, blood tests, the doctor monitors the development of follicles, the reaction of the ovaries and the patient's well-being. Appointments are adjusted if necessary, to support the optimal response of the body for a specific patient and not to create an unnecessary burden.

02

Puncture of follicles and collecting seminal fluid

Puncture of follicles is the removal of follicular fluid with an aspiration needle with ultrasonic control and intravenous anesthesia. The procedure is performed under intravenous anesthesia, which helps minimize pain. On the day of the follicles puncture, a man hand over seminal fluid (or the embryologist defrost pre -cryo -free biological material). Eggs Embryologist gets from follicular fluid, and spermatozoa from seminal fluid.

03

Fertilization (ICSI)

The ICSI method consists in the introduction of a sperm suitable for motility and morphology into the cytoplasm of a mature egg, suitable for fertilization according to the embryologist's assessment. Checking egg fertilization occurs through 16-18 hours.

04

Cultivation of embryos

After fertilization, the embryos are placed in a special nutrient medium in an incubator, where conditions are maintained, close to physiological, in particular, the corresponding pH and temperature indicators. In general, the embryos stay in the incubator for up to 5–7 days.

05

Transfer of embryos

Процедура перенесення ембріона в порожнину матки виконується за допомогою тонкого катетера. Зазвичай вона не потребує анестезії та в більшості випадків легко переноситься пацієнтками.

06

Monitoring the onset of pregnancy

Through 2 weeks after the embryo transfer is performed a blood test for the hormone of HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) To confirm biochemical pregnancy. Through 4 weeks after transfer is ultrasound to confirm clinical pregnancy (Visualization of one or more fertile eggs).

Additional information

Preparation

Prepare the results of basic research

For that, so that the first visit to the medical center was useful and meaningful for you, it is worth preparing and doing such research:

A complete list of necessary analyzes and conclusions of related specialists is provided by the reproductologist during consultation after anamnesis and familiarization with your medical history.

If you plan to start treatment for IVF program, Read the full list of research, which must be made before entering the extracorporeal fertilization program:

A complete list of research before entering the IVF program

Prepare questions

Any visit to the doctor is stressful, and a visit to a reproductive specialist is no exception. We strongly advise you to prepare all the questions, that bother you, interest and frighten. The doctor will provide the necessary information about the stages, safety and possible risks of treatment.

Discuss a joint solution

When the treatment takes place in pairs, the participation of the partner at the first consultation helps the reproductive specialist to gather more complete information about the reproductive situation of both partners. It is also important for the couple themselves: when both partners hear the doctor's explanation, ask questions and understand possible treatment options, the decision on further steps becomes more balanced and joint.

It is important to know

If possible, Take all available medical certificates and documents with you. If the treatment takes place in pairs, it is desirable to prepare the documents of both partners. This will help the doctor to make a more detailed history, better assess the reproductive situation and take into account previous examinations when planning further steps. It is also worth remembering in advance, have you had pelvic surgery?, transferred infectious diseases, important chronic diseases, in particular, even in childhood.

Program efficiency

The main indicator of the effectiveness of IVF programs is the percentage of clinical pregnancies — clinical pregnancy rate (CPR). It shows the ratio of embryo transfers, after which the pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasound, to the total number of transfers for a certain period.

According to internal data of the medical center "Nadia Odesa", CPR rate for the period of 2019 year before 01.06.2022 is 43.65%. This is a general statistical indicator, which helps to navigate the effectiveness of programs. For each patient, the prognosis is assessed individually, taking into account age, diagnosis, ovarian reserve, quality of embryos, endometrial condition and other medical factors.

For a general guideline, you can also use the published data of ESHRE - European Association of Human Reproduction and Embryology. According to these data, CPR indicators in different European countries are:

Germany — 26.5%
Greece — 43.4%
Spain — 34.9%
France — 22.9%
Belgium — 27.1%
Switzerland — 25.3%

Such data help to get a general idea of ​​the effectiveness of the programs, but the most valuable thing for the patient is the individual prognosis, which the doctor forms after the consultation, examination and evaluation of the medical situation.

The package includes the following services:

  • Controlled ovarian stimulation
  • Transvaginal puncture of follicles
  • ICSI
  • Cultivation of embryos
  • Fresh-embryo transfer
  • Diagnosis of pregnancy (ultrasound)

The cost of the program

68000 UAH*

*Medications for ovarian stimulation and endometrial preparation are not included in the program. Medicines are selected by the doctor taking into account individual medical and economic circumstances, their estimated cost is 65–75 thousand. UAH (depends on the individual stimulation scheme and the body's reaction to drugs).

Who is the program suitable for?

Extracorporeal fertilization by technology ICSI рекомендоване:

  • patients with reduced ovarian reserve, in which the quality of the eggs prevails their quantity.
  • patients, who prefer minimal use of drugs to stimulate the ovaries.

Alternative programs

  • Optimal — IVF/ICSI program with an extended list of stages, which includes embryo cryopreservation and transfer in a prepared cycle. This makes it possible to individually prepare the endometrium for transfer and carry it out under more controlled conditions.
  • Maximum — IVF/ICSI program with an extended list of stages, which includes cryopreservation of embryos, pre-implantation genetic testing of embryos and transfer in a prepared cycle. This gives the doctor and embryologist additional genetic information to select the embryo before transfer.
Question, which are often of interest to patients

Frequently asked questions about IVF

How much will it cost to try IVF in general??

Usually 143-190 thousand. UAH. The cost of one attempt consists of the cost of the required examinations (18–25 thousand. UAH), set of medicines to stimulate eggs and preparation of endometrium (65–75 thousand. UAH) the same IVF program (60-108 thousand. UAH). If the first attempt of IVF did not end with pregnancy, then, in the presence of cryopreserved embryos and appropriate medical indications, several more transfer attempts can be made (approximately 57 thousand. UAH per attempt). Under these circumstances, it is no longer necessary to spend money on most medicines and research.

How long does the IVF procedure take??

Usually, IVF procedure takes from 2 to 4 months. This period consists of an examination before IVF (1 cycle), ovarian stimulation (1 cycle), endometrial preparation and embryo transfer (2 cycles). In addition, the duration of the procedure is affected: availability of necessary research results, the need to correct the state of health before entering the program, availability of embryo freezing and procedures in the program PGT, endometrial preparation strategies, the need to use a strategy "Freeze All» and delayed transfer.

Does ovarian stimulation cause weight gain??

In some cases, weight gain can really be observed, but it will be insignificant due to the short duration of the therapy. Hormonal drugs, which are used for stimulation, affect metabolic processes in the body, appetite, lead to fluid retention and, as a consequence, body weight increases. Usually this increase is small - 1,5-3 kg, and temporary, after the end of stimulation, these kilograms will disappear.

Does the method of IVF affect the health of the unborn child?

Most factors, affecting the child's health, related to age, genetic factors, health status of parents, during pregnancy and childbirth. Specific risks are discussed individually by the doctor.

Do drugs to stimulate ovaries to cancer?

According to available medical data, ovarian stimulation drugs are not considered a proven cause of cancer. At the same time, before starting the IVF program, the doctor must assess the patient's health, anamnesis, examination results and possible contraindications. If necessary, additional consultations or examinations may be recommended. This helps to individually choose a stimulation scheme and carry out treatment taking into account the characteristics of the patient's body.
