Micro TESE is a painless procedure performed under anesthesia. The aim here is to enlarge the tissue under the microscope and remove the tissues with a high probability of containing sperm. Therefore, while the probability of finding sperm increases in theory, the damage to the testis decreases as less tissue is taken. Tissue samples taken are subjected to a series of processes and living sperm cells are separated. While these cells are used in the microinjection process, sperm are stored in other observed tissues for use in different experiments. ​ ​ Points to consider before micro-TESE You should not eat or drink anything (including water) for at least 6 hours before the operation. · Clean the operation area with a razor blade. Take a bath. 

Bring loose
trousers or sweatpants with you as pressure on the testicles will cause pain after the operation. You will be discharged 1-2 hours after the operation. Points to consider after micro TESE Liquid food intake can be started within 3 hours after the
operation. You can take a bath on the 5th day after the operation. · Do not have sexual intercourse for 1 week. If you have pain, you can use painkillers. If you experience redness, swelling or bleeding at the operation site, inform your doctor. 

Since 
self-dissolving sutures are used during Micro TESE, there is no suture removal process. The stitches will dissolve by themselves in 7-10 days. Risks As a result of micro TESE, viable sperm cells may not be obtained. This risk depends on the underlying cause. The chance of finding sperm in a patient with obstruction in the sperm ducts; higher than the patient with hormonal or genetic problems. Postoperatively, infection and bleeding may occur at the operation site.

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.

IVF treatments are supported by a wide range of tests and analyzes to get a healthy result. With the help of these tests, problems that may occur before and after pregnancy are also detected and planning is carried out in this direction. NGS, a genetic analysis technology that allows comprehensive chromosome screening to be performed in embryos, is a test that gives extremely effective results as technological developments gain momentum. With NGS, embryos are scanned quickly and effectively, and genetic problems at the chromosome level are detected before pregnancy. The aim of this method is to select a healthy embryo by performing genetic analysis on embryos before the transfer process and to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. You can continue reading our article for the details of the NGS test.



What is Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (NGS)?


It is extremely important that the embryos obtained in IVF treatments are successfully transferred to the uterus. But in some cases, pregnancy may not be achieved. One of the most important reasons why a healthy pregnancy cannot be achieved despite embryo transfer in treatment has been identified as chromosome disorders that occur in embryos. In order to achieve a healthy and successful result in IVF treatments, it is necessary to analyze the embryos in detail and detect chromosomal abnormalities. Previously, the multidimensional and complex structure of chromosomes would have made multiple tests necessary. While this situation is quite time consuming and costly, the NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) test appears as a result of the developing technology today. The NGS method is a newly developed genetic analysis technology that allows comprehensive chromosome screening of embryos. The NGS method allows all embryos to be screened within a short period of time. With NGS, which offers a quick and detailed scan, chromosome-related problems are diagnosed before pregnancy. All 24 chromosomes are scanned with the NGS test.

Comprehensive chromosomal screening practices performed by the NGS method play an extremely important role in diagnosing disorders and have an effect on facilitating healthy outcomes in IVF treatments.


What are the Features of the NGS Technique?




Chromosomal abnormalities are determined by screening with the NGS method. Embryos containing more than two or more cell communities with different chromosomal structures are called “mosaic embryos”. Mosaic embryos are detected more easily with the NGS technique. After these chromosomal abnormalities detected by the NGS test are detected accurately and in detail, the process is advanced by including them in the treatment planning. Compared to the different PGD methods used to date and known, the NGS method provides a high-intensity scanning area, allowing you to detect even some genetic disorders, as well as numerical changes occurring in chromosomes.


What Genetic Defects Can Be Detected with NGS-Based PGS?



Embryos obtained in IVF treatment are evaluated according to various criteria in terms of the characteristics they have, and a healthy result is sought by ensuring the transfer of the embryo with the best developmental characteristics to the uterus. Examination of the developmental characteristics of the embryo under a microscope by classical methods does not give a clear information about the chromosomal state of the embryo. This information is only reached by performing a genetic screening with PGS. Even if the embryos have a good quality structure, they can contain various chromosomal problems, and this can also lead to problems such as early miscarriages, some structural disorders in the developing fetus, or the embryo does not hold on to the uterus. The main purpose of using the PGS method, which is an NGS-based method, is to increase the adhesion of the embryo to the uterus, which is found to have a chromosomally normal structure, to reduce the likelihood of miscarriage that may occur later, and as a result, to increase the likelihood of couples having healthy babies. The NGS-based PGS operation is performed by embryologists who have the necessary education and experience in this regard. The process takes a short time and does not cause any harm to the embryo. The PGS process begins by combining the egg taken from the expectant mother and the sperm taken from the expectant father outside the body. 5. Development of embryos from formed embryos. or 6. on the day when the blastocyst is at the stage, several cells are taken by biopsy without damaging the embryo. These received cells are sent to the genetic laboratory for a scan of 24 chromosomes, while the embryos are frozen. At this point, it is extremely important that the procedure is performed by a qualified embryologist so that the embryo does not get damaged. At the end of this examination, the embryo or embryos whose genetic structure has been determined to be healthy are transferred after completion of intrauterine preparation and pregnancy results that reach higher rates are obtained, especially.

To summarize briefly; NGS-based PGS is a genetic screening method and can be used to detect numerical and structural imbalances in chromosomes. However, single gene diseases, especially those with familial transmission, cannot be detected with the PGS method.


Who are the Groups of Patients Who Can Be Administered NGS?




The benefits of the NGS method, which is a new generation genetic analysis technology, also raises the question of which patient groups this technique can be applied to. Before answering this question, we can state that the intended point of the NGS method is to be able to detect numerical and structural changes in chromosomes. Therefore, we can address the question of which people have these changes more often for groups of patients who can be administered NGS. Groups of patients for whom NGS can be applied can be listed as follows;

· In cases of repeated miscarriage,

· in expectant mothers over the age of 38,

· In severe male infertility,

* In cases of infertility, the cause of which is unknown,

· It is applied in cycles of continuous self-recurring treatment failures.

The NGS method, which is a rapidly developing field, is actively used in many countries today due to its possibilities and facilitating and accelerating effects for the process.


What are the Advantages of Preimplantastone Genetic Screening with NGS?




NGS, a new genetic examination method used to screen for 24 chromosomes in embryos, provides the opportunity to examine and sequence the entire human genome both numerically and structurally in a short period of time, such as a single day. It offers us a revolutionary technology in this aspect. The improved NGS method can detect mosaic embryos better than other PGD methods. The main advantages of Preimplantastone Genetic Screening with NGS are that it allows you to quickly scan a large area of genes, both numerically and structurally. In addition to scanning gene fields numerically and structurally, the NGS method also has advantages such as obtaining a more accurate result with a low margin of error, achieving faster results, and having a lower cost. With this method, 24 chromosome screening can also be performed simultaneously with the study of single gene diseases and HLA typing.


Does NGS Damage the Embryo?




IVF treatments are an extremely exciting period for couples. During this period, in order to obtain a healthy result, various tests are applied to the embryos obtained to determine the success rate. In some cases, couples may have a high risk of genetically abnormal embryo development. Advanced maternal age is one of these conditions. Embryos that are not genetically normal are not suitable for transfer. In order to be able to determine the chromosomal status of embryos and to obtain a healthy result, process planning is carried out in the light of the NGS result. Another confusing situation for couples at this point is whether NGS causes any damage to the embryo during the application phase. Doctors who specialize in their field and NGS performed under appropriate conditions do not pose a danger risk to the embryo. At this point, managing and planning the process in accordance with the needs with a reliable specialist and institution will also be an extremely important step.


Does Pregnancy Always Occur With a Smoothly Detected Embryo?




After the tests and examinations, embryos that do not carry any genetic abnormalities are placed in the uterus. The probability of the occurrence of pregnancy after this procedure develops due to various factors. These factors;

· Women's age

· The amount of ovarian reserve of the woman

* Sperm quality

· Embryo quality

· Ensuring a proper intrauterine environment

· The presence of hydrosalpinx

· Conditions encountered during embryo transfer

it can be sorted as follows. All these factors are among the dec that affect the occurrence of pregnancy. From this point of view, it is impossible to say that pregnancy always occurs with an embryo that is detected without problems.

Studies have shown that age-related embryos are less likely to be chromosomally normal. For this reason, pregnancy rates are also decreasing due to the increasing age of women, especially in IVF trials that have not been applied to PGS. In women under the age of forty, NGS-based PGS normal embryos vary between 40 and 60 percent probability with the results of the analysis, the rate falls below twenty percent in people over the age of 40.

In women over the age of forty, a low pregnancy rate is achieved by transferring an embryo that has not been genetically screened with NGS, while this rate is increased by transferring an embryo that has been diagnosed with NGS and is chromosomally normal.


How Many Days Do NGS Results Come Out?



The embryos that have been biopsied are 5 or 6 until they reach the blastocyst stage. by following it up to the day, only embryos that have not been detected as abnormalities are transferred to the expectant mother's uterus (uterus). The NGS process applied to the embryos is completed within the same day. In this way, treatment planning is quickly directed.

What are the NGS Test Prices?

The information obtained from the results of the NGS test gives a comprehensive information for the IVF process. At this point, NGS, a new generation genetic screening test, has entered our lives as a result of high technology. It is a method that also has many advantages, especially if it provides a quick and wide information about the chromosomal state of the embryo. In addition to the advantages it provides, NGS is a method that also has an extremely low cost. This is a situation that also increases the availability of the test. As the Huma IVF family, we continue to be there for our couples during this exciting process. For all your questions about NGS, you can review our site and contact us for detailed information.

In this article, we have included details about the NGS method. It is important to detect embryos that do not have chromosomal abnormalities, as well as to successfully transfer the embryos obtained in IVF treatments to the uterus. Comprehensive chromosomal screening practices performed by the NGS method play an extremely effective role in detecting chromosomal disorders in embryos and increase the risk of a positive outcome of the process.

Best Sleeping Practices for Newborns: How to Ensure Safe Sleep

Newborns spend most of their early days sleeping, making it essential for parents to create a safe and comfortable sleep environment. Following best sleep practices not only helps your baby rest better but also reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related concerns. Here’s a comprehensive guide to ensuring safe sleep for your newborn.

1. Follow the "Back to Sleep" Rule

One of the most crucial sleep safety tips is placing your baby on their back to sleep, both for naps and nighttime rest. This reduces the risk of SIDS significantly. Avoid placing your baby on their stomach or side, as these positions can obstruct breathing.

2. Choose a Safe Sleeping Surface

  • Use a firm, flat mattress covered with a fitted sheet in a safety-approved crib or bassinet.

  • Avoid placing soft bedding, pillows, stuffed animals, or crib bumpers in the sleeping area, as these increase the risk of suffocation.

  • Do not let your baby sleep on couches, armchairs, or adult beds unattended.

3. Keep the Crib in Your Room

  • The safest place for a newborn to sleep is in a crib or bassinet in the same room as the parents (but not in the same bed) for at least the first six months.

  • Room-sharing reduces the risk of SIDS and makes nighttime feedings easier.

4. Regulate Room Temperature

  • Keep the room at a comfortable temperature (between 20-22°C or 68-72°F).

  • Overheating increases SIDS risk, so dress your baby in light, breathable layers rather than heavy blankets.

5. Avoid Loose Blankets – Use a Sleep Sack

  • Instead of blankets, use a sleep sack or swaddle to keep your baby warm.

  • If swaddling, ensure the baby’s hips can move freely to prevent hip dysplasia.

6. Follow a Consistent Sleep Routine

  • Establish a simple bedtime routine with activities like bathing, feeding, gentle rocking, or soft lullabies to help your baby recognize sleep time.

  • Newborns thrive on predictability, so keeping a consistent routine helps improve sleep quality.

7. Offer a Pacifier at Bedtime

  • Giving your baby a pacifier during sleep times may help reduce SIDS risk.

  • If breastfeeding, wait 3-4 weeks until breastfeeding is well established before introducing a pacifier.

8. Avoid Smoking and Exposure to Secondhand Smoke

  • Secondhand smoke increases the risk of SIDS and other respiratory issues.

  • Keep your baby in a smoke-free environment at all times.

9. Be Mindful of Daytime and Nighttime Sleep Differences

  • Encourage daytime alertness by exposing your baby to natural light and engaging in play.

  • Keep nighttime interactions quiet and calm, with dim lighting, to reinforce that night is for sleep.

10. Know When to Seek Medical Advice

  • If your baby struggles to breathe, has irregular sleep patterns, or seems excessively fussy, consult a pediatrician.

  • Regular check-ups ensure your newborn is developing healthily and sleeping well.

Conclusion

Creating a safe sleep environment for your newborn is essential for their well-being and your peace of mind. By following these best sleeping practices, you can help your baby sleep soundly and safely. If you have concerns about your baby's sleep habits, always consult your pediatrician for guidance.
