HOW DO WE APROACH
THE INFERTILE COUPLE ?
MALE
• Two or three sperm counts
one month apart are ordered
and evaluated.
WHO (World Health
Organization) and Krugers`
criteria is used to analyze
the sperm parameters.
• If the sperm count is
abnormal, hormonal tests
and ultrasound of the testes
is performed. This way,
hormonal and vascular
problems may be detected.
•
In male infertility however,
medical and surgical
therapies are getting less
and less popular due to high
failure rates.
• Therefore for male infertility,
currently artificial
insemination or IVF/ICSI is
recommended,
depending on
sperm count results.
HOW DO WE APROACH
THE INFERTILE COUPLE ?
WOMEN
• We order FSH, LH, E2,
PRL, and TSH hormon
levels on the third day of
the period.
• If these are normal,
ovulations are monitored
with ultrasound.
• If there is an ovulation
problem it is treated by oral
medications or hormonal
injections, monitored by
ultrasound.
• If the ovulation is normal,
then
Hysterosalpingography
• ( X-ray of the uterus and
tubes) is performed to rule
out the tubal blockage.
• If there is a problem with
the tubes, laparoscopic
correction is tried in certain
cases. However, in recent
years due to highly
successful IVF/ICSI
results, tubal
surgery is performed
less often
Summary of IVF –1
1. Stimulation of the eggs
with drugs: Fertility
medications are used to
stimulate ovarian
production and there is
an attempt to obtain
multiple eggs to increase
the patient's chance of
getting pregnant by
fertilizing numerous eggs
for embryo development.
At this stage, the eggs
developing in the ovaries
are monitored with
ultrasound and hormone
testing and retrieved
before they are released.
2. Retrieval of the eggs:
The eggs are retrieved
by inserting a special
aspiration needle guided
by ultrasound into the
vagina. The patient is
given light anesthesia.
Once retrieved the eggs
are placed in special
receptacles in a
laboratory environment.
Special methods are
used to fertilize the eggs
with sperm taken
that same day
from the from the
woman's husband.
Summary of IVF -2
3. Fertilization of the eggs
and embryo
development: The eggs
are fertilized in the
laboratory with sperm
using the microinjection
method. Then the
embryo is allowed to
develop for a period of
time, after which the
highest grade embryos
are chosen for placement
in the mother's womb.
4. Transfer of the embryo
to the mother's womb:
The chosen embryos are
transferred to the
mother's womb with a
special catheter, after
which one must wait and
see if they attach to the
womb and pregnancy
develops.
Summary of IVF -3
5. Luteal follow-up: In order
to assist pregnancy
development, the patient
will be given medications
containing progesterone
after the embryo
transfer. Ultrasound and
hormone tests will be
administered once a
week. Whether or not
pregnancy has occurred
will be determined by
testing for the bHCG
hormone in the blood on
the 12th day after the
embryo transfer.
How do you communicate with the patients
