“Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome”, also known as Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), in the most basic way; It can be explained as a reaction to the hormones given to women for the development of the ovaries. During IVF treatment, women are given hormone drugs to stimulate and support egg development. When these hormone drugs stimulate the ovaries more than necessary, the syndrome of overstimulation of the ovaries occurs.


How Ovaries Stimulation Happens?

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an undesirable consequence of IVF treatment. Although the aim of IVF treatment is to develop a large number of eggs, OHSS may occur if more than a certain number of eggs develop.

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome are much more likely to have ovarian overstimulation syndrome. Excessive response to the drugs given to stimulate the ovaries prepares the ground for encountering this syndrome. During the stimulation of the ovaries, there is a fine line between stimulating the desired number of eggs and over-stimulating the ovaries. It is not always possible to determine this point clearly. When there is overstimulation, reducing the dose of ovarian stimulating drugs and not giving the drug for a day or more, if needed, can prevent the excessive rise of estrogen.


Symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be mild, moderate or severe. These symptoms are;

-Increased ovarian size

- Abdominal pain, bloating, shortness of breath, decreased urination

-Fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity

-Coagulation disorders

It can be seen as fluid collection in the chest cavity. It is extremely important to follow these situations closely and to get medical support when necessary.


How is Ovarian Overstimulation Syndrome Treated?

OHSS treatment is carried out to relieve the expectant mother, reduce ovarian activity and prevent complications. However, OHSS can be performed in two different ways as drug and surgical treatment. In mild cases, no additional treatment is required other than outpatient follow-up and severe physical activity restriction, and the patient can usually recover in 10-14 days. Moderate and severe cases may require hospitalization and treatment. In most cases, women who have had OHSS can continue IVF. It is still possible to become pregnant despite OHSS, but these symptoms may worsen if pregnancy occurs. In this case, the patient is followed closely under the supervision of a doctor.

In some cases, it is not enough if only the reproductive system is healthy for pregnancy to occur. Along with the reproductive system, it is extremely important for the pregnancy process that many factors work in harmony with each other. Depending on the factors that affect the process, pregnancy may not occur in people. This condition can also be observed if the person has already become pregnant or had a healthy birth.
Infertility, which occurs as a result of a couple having regular sexual intercourse for 12 months and not being able to get pregnant even though they are not using a method of protection, can be seen in two different ways. Never before pregnancy occurs when primary infertility; a live birth or not, regardless of if at least one pregnancy occurred, secondary (secondary) infertility is defined as.
You can continue reading our article about what is secondary infertility, what are its causes, important risk factors and treatment topics.

Causes of Secondary Infertility


Secondary infertility can occur due to both of the couples. The causes of secondary male infertility; the presence of varicose veins in sperm vessels, known as varicocele, infections, traumas and testicular tumors can be listed in the form of. The causes of secondary infertility in women are causes such as differences in ovulation patterns, damage or blockage of the tubes, deterioration of the structure of the uterus, and cervical and cervical cancer, especially as age progresses.
Autoimmune diseases and sexually transmitted diseases are also among the causes dec lead to secondary infertility.
In order to determine which of the many factors considered to cause the development of secondary infertility in people and to make appropriate planning, the couple should consult a specialist physician.

Risk Factors for Secondary Infertility



One of the most curious points about secondary infertility is the risk factors of secondary infertility. Many risk factors can cause the development of secondary infertility in people. These factors;
• Progression of age
• Different disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome
* Excess weight
• Previous miscarriages
* Stress
* Alcohol, smoking and substance use
It can be sorted as follows. Along with all this, various factors that may differ from person to person can also lead to the development of secondary infertility in people.

Treatment of Secondary Infertility



The causes of secondary infertility, which are an obstacle to a person's conception, can be studied in an extremely wide range. For this reason, first of all, the points that prevent a person from becoming pregnant should be determined by taking into account different factors and an appropriate treatment plan should be developed accordingly. As a result of the evaluations made by taking the patient's history, vaccination and IVF treatments may be recommended to support conception. In order to determine the condition, specific infertility tests can be administered to people after a physical and pelvic examination. The ovulation test and other hormone tests are some of them.

IVF treatment, which is one of the methods of treatment that helps reproduction, begins with the collection of eggs from the expectant mother and the removal of sperm cells from the expectant father. The embryo, which appeared after the fertilization was carried out in the laboratory environment, is placed in the womb of the expectant mother. From this point on, pregnancy continues like a pregnancy acquired by natural means.







When should couples who cannot have children turn to IVF treatment?



A woman under the age of 35 who does not have any diseases that can prevent her from becoming pregnant should definitely be examined if she cannot conceive despite having unprotected and regular sexual intercourse for 1 year and seek treatment if deemed necessary. Women who are over the age of 35 or who have previously had any problems affecting conception should only try for 6 months.







How is IVF Performed? What are the Necessary Conditions?



In vitro fertilization can be defined as the process of placing the healthiest embryo in the womb obtained as a result of fertilization of eggs collected from the expectant mother with the sperm of the expectant father in the laboratory environment. Before starting IVF treatment, the reproductive abilities of both a man and a woman are evaluated. Then hormone therapy is started to allow the expectant mother's eggs to enter the maturation process. Then, a cracking needle is made and the eggs are released from the follicles. During the egg collection process, the ripening eggs of the expectant mother are collected with the help of transvaginal ultrasound. At this time, sperm cells are taken from the expectant father. 









Fertilization is achieved by means of reproductive cells that are brought together in a laboratory environment dec The healthiest of the embryos that occur, or in other words, the best IVF, is transferred to the expectant mother's uterus accompanied by ultrasound. After about half an hour after this procedure, the couple is sent home. In some cases, more than one embryo needs to be transferred to the mother's womb.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, which occurs due to irregular hormone production, is one of the most common hormonal disorders in women of reproductive age. Polycystic ovary syndrome, which is seen in one out of every 10 women, is manifested by menstrual irregularities such as abortion or long-term periods. So, what is polycystic ovary syndrome, the incidence of which has increased in recent years? What are the symptoms of polycystic ovary and treatment of polycystic ovary?









What is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?






Follicles in different developmental stages in a normal ovary are selected during the menstrual period and become secondary and mature follicles. This selected follicle is then thrown out of the ovary with ovulation. In polycystic ovary syndrome, there are many immature follicles in the ovary and ovulation does not occur. Some changes are also seen in the hormone production of the ovary.

Parents who want to have children generally prefer the most common in vitro fertilization treatment. Before this treatment, both mother-to-be and father-to-be go through many tests. Father-to-be passed; The first of the tests to test for infertility or other problems is the sperm test, also known as the spermiogram test. What is the spermiogram test for the analysis of the sperm cell? How is spermiogram done? What do spermiogram test results mean? We will answer all these questions for you in detail below. We recommend that you continue reading our article to have detailed information about the sperm test.

 What is a test (spermiogram)?



Sperm test done to men; It is a test to determine sperm health, sperm count, and whether the sperm are moving correctly in the channels. As a result of the sperm test, if the sperm shape is normal and there is a sufficient number of sperm, it is concluded that your reproductive ability is high. However, in some cases, men may have low sperm count or the ability to reproduce despite having abnormal semen. That's why doctors order a second test for the accuracy of the results. If your results are normal in your first sperm test, you give the other test and if it is normal, these two normal tests show that you do not have an infertility problem. If there are different conditions, your doctor may order other tests.

If there is no semen or sperm as a result of the sperm test, this may indicate that your ducts are blocked. If this is the case, your doctor will plan different surgeries to open the channels.

Issues and Precautions to Consider While Giving Sperm Sample



There are important points to be considered before giving the sperm sample and while giving the sperm sample. Among the things to be considered before giving a sperm sample, we can count that "men should abstain from sexual intercourse for 3 days". Fasting for 3 to 5 days is sufficient. These numbers are important because if you fast for less than 3 days, the sperm count may be low as a result of the sperm test. For this reason, we can say that fasting between 3 and 5 days is sufficient. It is possible to list the issues to be considered while giving a sperm sample as follows;

 

· Storing the sample in a sterile environment: It is important to protect your sample from the outside environment for a healthy and accurate spermiogram test result. If a sterile environment is not provided, the test result may be inaccurate. Therefore, do not put your hands, especially sample containers, etc. It is important that you keep it as sterile as possible.

· Protecting the delivered sperm from heat: Another important point is to keep your sample away from extreme temperature changes after ejaculation. Because these extreme temperature changes negatively affect spermatozoa. Ideal temperatures for the sample cup should be between 20°C and 37°C.

· Sperm volume, amount: Volume is extremely important in the sperm test. Your sperm volume is expected to be at least 1.5 ml. The reason why you cannot reach the lower limit of 1.5 ml may be external discharge during ejaculation. It is important to be careful about this.

· Use of lubricating foreign substances during the sperm test: It is important not to use any lubricant during the sperm test because these substances seriously affect the sperm parameters. External factors with such an impact can lead to wrong conclusions.

How is the Sperm Test Done?



For the sperm test, you must first be at the IVF center or hospital. There are rooms specially prepared for men in hospitals or IVF centers. In these rooms, men give their sperm in a special container. For the effectiveness of the sperm test, the sperm sample is immediately delivered to the laboratory. The sperm sample given in the laboratory is subjected to many processes and the best quality sperms are selected. The purpose of the procedures is to examine the sperm count, motility and shape in the semen and to reach quality sperm as a result.

Apart from the hospital, sperm samples can be placed in a container and brought to the hospital in the home environment. However, this is highly not recommended. Even if this is accepted, the sperm samples should be brought to the hospital and delivered within half an hour.

Issues and Precautions to Consider When Analyzing Sperm Sample



After the sperm test is given by the prospective fathers, it is examined in the laboratory environment. This examination takes approximately 1-2 hours and after the first hour, active results begin to be obtained. However, sometimes different situations can be encountered. For example, the test is given, but no sperm can be seen when looked at. In these cases, sperm are taken again and centrifuged. When faced with such a situation, the time may be extended. If there is no additional test to be done, the test results are immediately available in an average of 1-1.5 hours.

What Do Sperm Test Results Mean?



       





Sperm test results can be evaluated in many ways. Sperm analysis evaluates the sperm by analyzing it from various aspects. We can list these analyzes as follows:

· Sperm count and density:

Sperm count describes the number of sperm in 1 ml of semen. The World Health Organization advocates that a normal sperm count should be at least 15 million per ml or at least 39 million per sample. Having fewer sperm than these numbers indicates a low sperm count.

· Sperm morphology:

Non-abnormal sperm have a long tail and oval head. Morphology refers to the size and shape of the sperm a person has. Sperm that do not have a normal size or are weak in shape have difficulty reaching the egg and fertilization.

· Sperm motility:

The ability of sperm to move efficiently is one of the most important factors for fertilization.

· PH level of sperm:

When the pH level is too high or too low, it can affect the health of sperm and its ability to pass through the female reproductive tract.

Apart from these, sperm health is examined by looking at many factors such as semen volume, liquefaction, and seminal fructose levels while performing the sperm test. After examining all factors in detail, the results are examined and reported to the patient.

What is the Sperm Test Result of a Healthy Individual?



Low sperm count can have many different causes. The first reason is smoking addiction. Smoking addiction is one of the important factors that reduce the sperm count. In addition to smoking, alcohol and drug addiction also affect sperm count. Sperm count can also be adversely affected when there is a deficiency in hormones, depending on the clogged ducts.

Hormones are one of the important factors for reproduction on their own. Since the deficiency in reproductive hormones directly affects sperm production, it increases the possibility of encountering problems in reproduction. Apart from these, mistakes made by couples who want to have children also affect the sperm count. Using natural products unconsciously and continuing to use them uncontrollably, without knowing the limit, does harm to the person instead of providing benefits. Long-term treatment and drugs used during the treatment also affect the sperm count.

IMSI in Sperm Selection



The IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morpholgically Selected Sperm Injection) method is the magnification and examination of even the smallest cells using special microscopes. In the past, in the microinjection procedures applied in IVF treatments, living sperm cells could be enlarged up to 400 times. However, with IMSI, sperm can now be enlarged between 6000 and 8000 times. It is possible to examine and detect in detail the disorders called "vacuoles" that indicate the intracellular structures of the sperm and their genetic damage.

The IMSI technique is an extremely useful method. Selected sperm injection; It allows advanced morphological analysis of sperm without damaging the living sperm cell. Sperm with the highest fertilization ability are selected and a high chance of fertilization between 20% and 40% can be obtained with the applied microinjection application.

Precautions to be Considered for Sperm Quality



Couples who want to have children should pay attention to egg and sperm health and be careful in this regard. There are many factors that affect sperm quality, such as those that affect egg quality. One of these factors is undoubtedly a healthy diet. A healthy diet is extremely important for every organ in the body, of course also in sperm health.

In addition, exercise is very important in making you more vigorous and increasing your body's stamina and activity. Regular exercise will make you recover in a short time and will positively affect both your mental and physical health. Alcohol and smoking are substances that affect reproductive cells and should be avoided. This is a proven fact as a result of research. If we gather all these under one title, we can say that one should take care of his own health. Nutrition, avoiding alcohol, smoking, exercising regularly will first affect your health and therefore your sperm quality.

This process, which is sensitive and special for couples who want to have a child, is extremely important for them. In this process, prospective parents experience excitement on the one hand and a lot of stress on the other. Hüma IVF Center, which understands the emotions experienced best and does not spare its support by being by their side throughout the process, is always ready to accompany you.

Beta HCG hormone is a hormone known as the pregnancy hormone among the people. It is used in pregnancy tests to determine whether the person is pregnant or not. Experts express the test to measure the beta HCG hormone in different ways. You may have heard of Beta HCG blood test, quantitative blood pregnancy test, quantitative HCG test, and quantitative serial Beta HCG test. In this article, we have brought together all the curious about Beta HCG. What should be the Beta HCG value? What does low or high Beta HCG mean? Read on for the answers to all these questions.


What is Beta HCG?

There are 2 types of HCG Hormone, Beta and Alpha. During the pregnancy test, the Beta hormone is examined and is called Beta HCG. Beta HCG hormone is secreted by the placenta with the occurrence of fertilization. A blood test is performed between 10 days and 14 days after fertilization, and a high value can be observed in Beta HCG hormone as a result of the blood test. After a day or two, a urine test is done and more precise data for pregnancy can be obtained. High beta hcg hormone does not only mean a sign of pregnancy. Depending on some diseases encountered in people, its level in the body may increase, this varies from person to person. For this reason, when a high level of Beta HCG hormone is detected, different tests are performed immediately and it is ensured whether pregnancy has occurred or not.


What Should Beta HCG Value Be?


In a healthy non-pregnant woman, Beta HCG hormone varies in the range of 0-10 mlU/ml. In fact, it is usually seen at values ​​around 0 and 0. With pregnancy, these values ​​increase. In other words, we can understand whether pregnancy exists or not from the height of this hormone.


What Does Low and High Beta HCG Mean?


Beta HCG elevation first suggests that the person is pregnant. Because pregnancy increases the Beta HCG hormone. This hormone may give false information in some periods. Especially if the person has a different ailment, for example; In cases such as gastritis, some types of pancreatic cancer, some stomach cancers, ovarian cancer, liver tumor, multiple pregnancy, high levels of this hormone can be detected. For this reason, it is not possible to understand that you are pregnant with this test alone. Afterwards, you must have different tests. In addition to these, it is possible to say that the foods eaten also affect this hormone. Foods high in progesterone such as dill, avocado, spinach, tomatoes and walnuts increase the Beta HCG value.

Beta HCG is usually 0 and close to 0 in normal, ie non-pregnant individuals. In individuals who are pregnant, the low level of this hormone may be due to many reasons. These; ectopic pregnancy, deviation in the calculation of the week of pregnancy, sudden miscarriages.


In this article, we have discussed the Beta HCG hormone in detail. We have made explanations for you by giving place to all the questions that are curious. For more, you can visit our Hüma IVF page.

Adenomyosis is a female disease that occurs in women, especially as age increases. Women with adenomyosis experience extremely painful, painful and excessive bleeding menstrual periods. This heavy menstrual period also affects the daily life of women with adenomyosis. In addition, it causes anemia. If you are experiencing these problems and want to know more about Adenomyosis, you can continue reading our article.

What is Adenomyosis?



The uterus contains an inner lining of the uterus called the endometrium. The task of this inner membrane is to limit the inner surface of the uterus. The inner membrane inside the uterus is renewed every month with the menstrual period and in some women it moves towards the uterine muscle layer. Adenomyosis occurs as a result of thickening of the inner membrane in the uterine muscle layer.

There are two types of adenomyosis: benign and malignant. It is a benign type that is usually seen in women, but some women may also have a malignant type that requires surgery and poses a risk.

Women with adenomyosis have difficult days during their menstrual periods. During this period, they may have to cope with excessive pain and excessive bleeding. Again, they may feel uncomfortable bloating before the menstrual period and may experience pain and pain during sexual intercourse.

What are the Causes of Adenomyosis?



Although the causes of adenomyosis disease in women are not known clearly, it is known that hormones such as estrogen, prolactin, and progesterone trigger this ailment. Apart from this, external interventions in cesarean deliveries, surgical cuts or inflammation of the inner lining of the uterus during birth trigger the cells that regulate the uterus to leave their borders and cause adenomyosis. Development-related adenomyosis can also be seen. During the developmental process, the endometrial accumulation formed between the muscles during the first formation of the fetus in the uterus may cause adenomyosis.

What is the Relationship Between Adenomyosis and Infertility?



The age at which adenomyosis is most common is people between the ages of 40 and 50. Adenomyosis is a female disease related to the uterus. For this reason, we can say that adenomyosis is directly related to infertility and pregnancy. Adenomyosis is a disease whose incidence increases with increasing age, so infertility and adenomyosis can be seen together when pregnancy is considered in older women. Expectant mothers who encounter this situation can achieve their dreams of having a child by trying the in vitro fertilization method after receiving adenomyosis treatment.

What is Adenomyosis Treatment?



Experts have done many studies to treat adenomyosis disease and as a result, they have found various treatment methods. We can talk about hormonal therapy as the first treatment method. With hormonal therapy, it is tried to relieve the pain caused by adenomyosis and to reduce the excess blood. For this, birth control pills, temporary menopause treatments or medicated spiral methods can be used. As a second method, we can consider MRI Focused Ultrasound. In MRI focused ultrasound treatment, high-intensity heat waves are used to destroy the tissue that causes adenomyosis. Another form of treatment is hysterectomy. This form of treatment is the most permanent solution, but because it results in the removal of the uterus, it is applied only to women who do not plan to have children or in severe cases that do not respond to any treatment.

 In this article, we discussed adenomyosis, which is common in older women. What is adenomyosis, what are the causes of this disease, what is the relationship between adenomyosis and infertility, and what are the treatment methods for this disease, based on all these questions, we have made detailed explanations about adenomyosis for you. We wish you a pleasant reading. You can visit our website for more.

Ovarian reserve, known as the ovary, is a term used to determine the fertilization ability of the ovary to provide egg cells and to determine the probability of a successful pregnancy. With the advancing age of the expectant mother, the number of egg cells obtained from the follicles for pregnancy decreases. decreased ovarian reserve (AMH); It is a condition in which the ovaries begin to lose their normal production capabilities, reducing fertility. Decreased ovarian reserve reduces women's chances of conceiving spontaneously or with treatment. However, it is aimed to minimize the effects of this situation with various methods. The main causes of decreased ovarian reserve can be listed as follows:

· Smoking,

Chronic diseases,

 Coffee consumption

  Age of the expectant mother,

Genetic abnormalities (X chromosome abnormalities)

Various treatments (such as radiation for cancer)

· Having undergone ovarian surgery.

You can continue reading our article for reduced ovarian reserve and all its details.






How to Identify Decreased Ovarian Reserve?



Decreased ovarian reserve is determined by examining the hormone tests to be performed on the 2nd or 3rd day of the menstrual period of the expectant mother. FSH hormone gives information about the status of ovarian reserves. If the FSH value is higher than 10, it indicates decreased ovarian capacity.

The best indication of the capacity of the ovaries is the vaginal ultrasound. Existing and developing egg structures can be easily detected here. If there are less than six egg structures in the total ovaries, decreased ovarian reserve may be in question.

In summary, decreased ovarian reserve; It can be understood by clinical evaluation of the person, vaginal ultrasound, measurement of AMH hormone and FSH hormone in the blood.



Can a Woman with a Decreased Ovarian Reserve Get Pregnant?



Existing studies show that women with reduced ovarian reserve can become pregnant both spontaneously and with IVF treatment. Although it has been shown that high serum FSH levels in women are associated with low pregnancy rates, it is not sufficient to make a decision based on this alone. Egg cells also regulate their size under the influence of genetic factors. The speed of the aging process of the ovaries varies greatly among women, except for the age factor. In addition to the successful results of endocrine tests and imaging methods in the numerical evaluation of ovarian reserve, their values ​​in determining the chance of pregnancy remain at a limited level.

The chance of conceiving of a woman who is determined to have decreased ovarian reserve with ovarian reserve tests and clinical evaluations by specialist physicians can be increased by applying appropriate ovulation treatment protocols. Patients with reduced ovarian reserve can become mothers with different techniques today. In order to determine these methods, it is important to plan and apply special treatment methods suitable for patients by considering various factors.



How Is Decreased Ovarian Reserve Treated?



Currently, there is no treatment for decreased ovarian reserve that prevents or slows down ovarian aging. In addition, lifestyle changes have an extremely important role in preventing premature aging of the ovaries and in order to ensure the healthy continuation of egg quality, that is, to increase egg reserve and quality. These;

· Eating a balanced and healthy diet,

Doing regular exercise,

Quality and adequate sleep,

Avoiding chemicals, high glycemic index and fast food style foods,

Not to use substances such as cigarettes and alcohol,

· Using antioxidant drugs under the control of a physician.

 

 

If you have decreased ovarian reserve and want to have a child according to your required tests and vaginal ultrasound results, it is extremely important to seek in vitro fertilization treatment in the presence of a specialist doctor, without wasting time.

As Hüma IVF Center, we choose the most appropriate treatment method for you, apply it and continue to serve.

Recently, it has been revealed that egg quality obtained from patients with low reserve is lower and genetic problems in the embryo are higher. In this direction, it is aimed to create fewer but better quality embryos by obtaining higher quality eggs with less drugs. Mini IVF appears as a simplified in vitro fertilization practice, unlike the known in vitro fertilization practices performed with daily injections and high-dose drug use. Especially in patients with a low number of eggs or in advanced age, the success rates are higher than conventional treatments. What is mini IVF, who is it applied to and what are the drugs used in its treatment? You can continue reading our article for questions and all the details.


What is mini IVF?



Mini IVF is an in vitro fertilization application that enables the development of fewer but higher quality eggs by using lower doses of drugs. Eggs developed with this method are taken and fertilization is performed by applying the microinjection technique. Embryos formed after fertilization are transferred to the patient, assuming that the probability of attachment is higher.

In addition to the advantages such as less drug use, less cost and less time spent with mini IVF treatment, high success rates can be obtained in patients with a low number of eggs and advancing age.



Who is mini IVF applied to?



In cases where pregnancy does not occur naturally;

Those who want to use hormone drugs less,

At risk of developing OHSS (overstimulation of the ovaries),

Concerned about the daily injection process in IVF treatment,

Those who have problems in the fallopian tubes and are younger than 35 years old,

Having low egg reserve that cannot be increased with treatment,

Looking for a more economical solution than conventional treatment,

People who have tried many times in vitro fertilization but have not achieved a result, and

Mini IVF treatment can be applied to women who want to reduce the possibility of multiple pregnancy.

However, a treatment plan should be made by a specialist by listening to the patient's history of the disease, analyzing their expectations and performing health checks in detail.



What are the drugs used in mini IVF treatment?



Mini IVF treatment is a type of in vitro fertilization that uses little or no medication to increase and develop the number of eggs. In standard IVF treatments, hormone injections are made for 8-10 days to reproduce eggs, while these drugs are not used in the Mini IVF method. Oral tablets and very low dose hormone injections are used instead. With Mini IVF, which is a natural in vitro fertilization method, it is ensured that the highest quality eggs are produced by using the least amount of medication.

Mini IVF method is aimed to obtain better quality eggs with the use of low doses of drugs. At this point, it is possible to determine your treatment plan by consulting your doctor. You can visit our website for more information.

For this reason, when an increase in the Beta HCG hormone is detected, different tests are also performed immediately and it is made sure that the pregnancy does not occur.

 

What Should Be the Beta HCG Value?

 



 

In a healthy woman who is not pregnant, the hormone December HCG varies in the range of 0-10 mlU/ml. Even it is usually seen at an approximate value of 0 and 0. With pregnancy, these values increase. That is, we know from the height of this hormone whether pregnancy exists or not.

 

What Does Low And High Beta HCG Mean?

 



 

The height of beta hCG first makes it clear that the person is pregnant. Because pregnancy increases the hormone Beta HCG. This hormone can give false information in some periods. For example, if a person has a different condition, gastritis, some types of pancreatic cancer, some stomach cancers, ovarian cancer, liver tumor, and multiple pregnancy, this hormone can also be elevated in cases such as gastritis. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will understand that you are pregnant only with this test. After that, you must also have different tests. In addition to these, it october possible to say that the nutrients eaten also affect this hormone. Foods high in progesterone, especially dill, avocado, spinach, tomatoes and walnuts, increase the value of Beta HCG.

 

Beta HCG is normal, that is, it is usually close to 0 and 0 in individuals who are not pregnant. In individuals who are pregnant, a low level of this hormone can be due to many reasons. These are ectopic pregnancy, a deviation in the calculation of the week of pregnancy, sudden miscarriages.

Insemination treatment is a method of selecting the sperm that is the highest quality of the sperm taken from the expectant father during the ovulation period, that is, during the period when the probability of conception of the expectant mother is the highest, and then putting it into the womb of the expectant mother. A state of fertilization that has been tried many times by natural means, but no successful results have been obtained, thanks to vaccination treatment, sperm and egg dec easily combined and fertilized. So, how will expectant parents understand this situation when Insemination gives a successful result? We will answer this question and give you more detailed information about Insemination treatment. We wish you a pleasant reading in advance.



What is Insemination?


Insemination is a treatment applied by people who want to become parents but have not been able to achieve this condition by natural means. This treatment, which is performed before starting IVF treatment, is aimed at increasing the chances of pregnancy. Insemination takes place exactly as follows;

· Several necessary tests are applied to prospective parents before.

How to Improve Egg Productivity & Quality

Fertility is a crucial aspect of reproductive health, and for women, egg productivity and quality play a vital role in conception. The number and quality of eggs naturally decline with age, but various lifestyle changes, diet improvements, and medical interventions can help maintain and enhance ovarian health. Whether you are planning for pregnancy now or preserving fertility for the future, here are some effective ways to boost egg productivity and quality.

1. Maintain a Balanced and Nutrient-Rich Diet

What you eat directly impacts your reproductive health. A fertility-friendly diet should include:

  • Antioxidants: Found in berries, nuts, and leafy greens, antioxidants help protect eggs from oxidative stress.

  • Healthy Fats: Avocados, olive oil, and nuts support hormonal balance and egg cell membrane integrity.

  • Protein Sources: Include lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins like beans and lentils to promote healthy egg development.

  • Folic Acid & B Vitamins: Essential for cell division and DNA synthesis. Found in leafy greens, citrus fruits, and fortified grains.

  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts, they enhance egg quality and overall reproductive health.

2. Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water is essential for circulation and nutrient transport to the ovaries. Dehydration can negatively affect egg development and hormone production.

3. Maintain a Healthy Weight

Being overweight or underweight can disrupt hormonal balance and ovulation. Maintaining a BMI within a healthy range supports regular ovulation and egg maturation.

4. Reduce Stress Levels

Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which can interfere with reproductive hormones and egg development. Stress management techniques include:

  • Meditation & Yoga: Help regulate stress hormones and improve blood flow to reproductive organs.

  • Regular Exercise: Moderate physical activity boosts circulation and hormone regulation.

  • Adequate Sleep: 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night supports hormone balance and overall health.

5. Avoid Toxins and Harmful Substances

  • Reduce Caffeine & Alcohol: Excessive intake can negatively affect fertility.

  • Quit Smoking: Smoking accelerates ovarian aging and reduces egg quality.

  • Limit Exposure to Environmental Toxins: Pesticides, plastics (BPA), and heavy metals can harm egg health. Opt for organic foods and use BPA-free products.

6. Take Fertility-Boosting Supplements

Certain vitamins and supplements can enhance egg quality:

  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Improves egg cell energy and mitochondrial function.

  • Vitamin D: Supports ovarian function and hormonal balance.

  • Zinc & Selenium: Help protect eggs from oxidative stress and improve overall reproductive health.

  • DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): A precursor hormone that can help improve ovarian reserve in some cases (consult a doctor before use).

7. Consider Medical Interventions if Necessary

If you are struggling with fertility issues, consult a specialist who may recommend:

  • Hormonal Therapy: Helps regulate ovulation and improve egg development.

  • Ovulation Induction Medications: Clomiphene citrate or Letrozole can stimulate egg production.

  • IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): If natural conception is difficult, IVF can retrieve multiple eggs for fertilization.

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: An emerging treatment that may help rejuvenate ovarian function.

8. Monitor Your Ovarian Reserve

Regular fertility check-ups can help assess egg quality and quantity. Tests such as:

  • AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) Test: Measures ovarian reserve.

  • FSH & Estradiol Tests: Assess ovarian function and hormone levels.

  • Antral Follicle Count (AFC) via Ultrasound: Provides insights into egg supply.

Conclusion

Improving egg productivity and quality requires a holistic approach that includes a healthy diet, lifestyle adjustments, and, if needed, medical assistance. By adopting these strategies, you can enhance your fertility potential and increase your chances of a successful pregnancy. If you are planning for the future, consider consulting a fertility specialist for personalized guidance on preserving and optimizing your reproductive health.
