In recent years, intralipids have been used to reorganize the immune systems of candidates, especially in recurrent IVF failures. Intralipids consist of an oil emulsion of soybean oil, egg phospholipids and glycerin. Intralipid serum application provides intrauterine balance by affecting the immune system that prevents the embryo from adhering to the expectant mother. This application, which is given to patients intravenously in the form of serum, is carried out at certain intervals during the ovulation induction, on the day of embryo transfer and in the following period.

While deciding on intralipid serum supplementation in line with the treatments we planned with the principle of personalized treatment, the physical and biological characteristics of the couples, recurrent IVF failures and infertility histories are taken into account.

IVF treatment, which is preferred by couples who cannot conceive naturally and cannot have children, is a source of hope for couples who cannot have children due to the development of medicine and technology. IVF treatment is the fertilization of male and female reproductive cells outside the body under laboratory conditions. Currently, couples have a 95 percent chance of success with IVF treatments. IVF treatment is one of the most successful methods in the treatment of infertility, the cause of which is not clear, or which cannot be conceived in the most natural ways. If couples do not succeed in their first attempts at IVF treatments, they should not despair and stress immediately. Because there are no restrictions on IVF treatment.

How many times can IVF treatment be tried?

 

A study conducted on couples undergoing IVF treatment shows that the rate of achieving pregnancy in couples after the first three trials is 95 percent. In addition, no number can be given about the number of treatments in the remaining group. The experts are also 4. or 5. there is an opinion that the chances of IVF success in trials are slightly lower than in the first three trials. The success rate of IVF treatment does not depend on many attempts. Multiple factors, such as the age of the couples, obtaining a quality embryo, affect the success rate of IVF treatment at a critical point.


Is Success Achieved in the First Attempt in IVF?

The chances of pregnancy during the one-month treatment period with the insemination method or ovulation treatments are about 20% or slightly more than the chances of a healthy couple becoming pregnant in a month. These treatments can be tried 3 or 4 times until pregnancy is achieved, but most of the pregnancies are obtained in the first months of treatment. Continuing treatment for more than 4 years will not increase the chances of pregnancy, so you can switch to IVF treatment.


Currently, thanks to newly developed methods and applications, the success rate of in vitro fertilization treatment is gradually increasing, if success is not achieved at the first attempt, repeated attempts can be made. The chance of becoming pregnant in a month with IVF treatments varies depending on age, but on average it is up to 50-60%. Pregnancy rates can increase by more than 90% after 4 applications when more than one treatment is performed in a row. For this reason, the chances of becoming pregnant increase with the number of attempts in couples who do not have a specific problem.

There are 2 treatment methods most commonly preferred by couples who want to have a baby but do not have a baby for various reasons. One of them is in vitro fertilization treatment and the other is insemination method. In our article, we will try to answer the most frequently asked questions about the vaccination method, what is insemination and how it is done.


What is insemination? 


If couples cannot get a pregnancy result after one year after unprotected sexual intercourse, infertility is diagnosed. Infertility can have many causes, depending on the woman and the man. Thanks to science and developing technology, there are now many treatment methods for infertility. One of these methods is the vaccination method. In its simplest form, the method of vaccination is to prepare the sperm in the laboratory and inoculate the woman's uterus at the time of ovulation to ensure fertilization. In order for the vaccination method to be performed, some tests must be done to make sure that there is no problem in the uterus of the expectant mother. In addition, at least one of the tubes of the expectant mother must be in working condition. The purpose of the vaccination method is to select the motile, normal sperm with a higher probability of fertilization and send them to the uterus of the expectant mother. Thus, it will be more likely to be fertilized with eggs and selected sperm supported by drugs or pills. 


How is insemination done?


Before the insemination method, the development of the egg is supported with pills or low-dose injections given to the expectant mother. During this process, the egg is tracked. When the eggs mature and reach certain sizes, a cracking needle is given and the eggs are cracked. Just at this time of cracking, the sperm prepared in the laboratory are transferred to the uterus. Thus, the most suitable time of ovulation is provided for the woman and the best sperm are transferred to the uterus at the right time. insemination is a natural method. Only sperms that will increase the probability of fertilization are carefully selected. From the sperms taken from the father-to-be, those that are of good quality, motile and washed in a certain number, that is, processed. As Hüma IVF Center team, we tried to give information about what is insemination and how it is done in our article. We hope it was useful.

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.

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.
