PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS
In recent years, developments in genetics allow genetic analysis to be carried out on embryos developed in vitro by in vitro fertilization  ethods and the placement of selected healthy embryos in the uterus of the mother before pregnancy occurs. This method is called pre- regnancy genetic diagnosis (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis-PGD).
​
One of the most important application areas of the PGT technique embryos that do not have a genetic disease but may not have a genetic disorder in their chromosomes.
These disorders are more common in women of advanced age (35 years and older). This situation may result in infertility as it both reduces the chance of attachment of the embryo (implantation) and may cause unwanted abortions. As a matter of fact, 40 out of every 100 pregnancies in women aged 39 and over have problems that occur due to a numerical chromosomal disorder
 
The aim of PGD is to increase implantation rates, reduce spontaneous abortions and increase healthy baby birth rates by selecting hromosomally normal embryos. Indeed, the miscarriage rate, which can reach up to 23 percent in normal pregnancy due to chromosomal disorders, may decrease to 9 percent after PGD.
 
Pre-pregnancy genetic diagnosis is performed by taking 1 or 2 cells from embryos developed as a result of fertilization of egg and sperm cells obtained from mother and father candidates in laboratory environment. Special methods called Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are used for genetic diagnosis. Diagnosis of numerical chromosomal disorders such as monosomy or trisomy (Down syndrome and other trisomies) and single gene diseases (such as hemophilia, Mediterranean anemia, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophies) in the baby to be born is possible with PGD. Thus, healthy babies are born by transferring disease-free, healthy embryos to the expectant mother.
 
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE PREGNANCY
 
  • In couples with a genetic or hereditary disease carrier,
  • In couples who have a child or children with a previous genetic disease,
  • For the purpose of HLA genotyping (tissue typing),
  • In the identification of diseases showing genetic predisposition (tendency)
  • Women in the advanced age group (37 years and over) who have been accepted for assisted reproductive techniques,
  • In couples with recurrent early pregnancy miscarriages,
  • In couples who could not achieve pregnancy with assisted reproductive techniques despite multiple applications or who lost their pregnancy due to miscarriage,
  • It is applied in cases of chromosomal disorders or genetic diseases associated with severe male infertility.
 
HOW IS THE PGT TEST DONE?
 
  • Whether the patient is suitable for PGD is evaluated by the reproductive health specialist, genetic counselor and the doctor of the related disease.
  • The couple is prepared for the IVF procedure.
  • The egg taken from the mother is fertilized in the laboratory with the sperm taken from the father.
  • 1-2 blastomere cells are removed from the obtained embryo by biopsy by embryologists
  • Cells obtained by biopsy are prepared and tested according to the method to be applied.
  • Embryos with genetic diseases or chromosomal disorders are selected and discarded and healthy embryos are transferred to the mothers womb.

It is a method of activating eggs and ensuring fertilization by using calcium ionophore (calcium ionophore) in cases where embryo transfer cannot be performed due to lack of fertilization during IVF treatment.
 
In the calcium ionophore application, first the egg and sperm are fertilized by micro-injection (ICSI); Then the eggs are kept in a medium containing calcium ionophore for a while. The main purpose here is to artificially increase the calcium level, which should increase in the egg after the sperm enters the egg. In other words, by supporting the reactions that should start in the egg, the egg is forced to be fertilized. With this procedure, a healthy fertilization and therefore a high pregnancy rate can be achieved.
​
Calcium ionophore therapy has been shown to be successful in the following situations:

  • In patients with “globosperm” of all sperms
  • If very few eggs or sperm are obtained
  • Recurrent fertilization (fertilization) failures
  • In cases where no fertilization can be achieved with micro-injection therapy

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.

WHAT IS INTRALPID SERUM TREATMENT? WHO IS APPLIED?


Intralipid serum therapy emerges as a form of treatment applied to women who want to become pregnant but cannot achieve this goal as a result of recurrent IVF failures. It is extremely important that the immune system is strong during IVF treatment. Intralipid serum therapy is a method used at this point to strengthen the immune system.

Intralipid serum treatment is started to be applied to women who want to become pregnant before starting IVF treatment. What are the details of intralipid treatment? Who is intralipid serum therapy applied to? How is intralipid serum therapy applied? Now we will be giving answers to all these questions for you below.


What is Intralipid Therapy?



Intralipid serum therapy is a treatment for women who want to become mothers. Intralipid serum is a treatment method that starts on the day of transfer and continues throughout the process in IVF treatment. Intralipid serum contains many important proteins and molecules for the immune system. Thanks to this serum, it is aimed to keep the immune system of the expectant mother strong during pregnancy by supporting the immune system.


To Whom Is Intralipid Serum Treatment Applied?



Intralipid serum therapy is a treatment for women who want to become mothers, but only for those who have experienced miscarriage problems or who have experienced IVF failures. The purpose of this treatment is to ensure that the immunity of the expectant mother remains strong throughout the pregnancy process.

As a result of the information obtained, it has been proven that intralipid serum therapy does not have any side effects. However, some women may be allergic to the substances in the intralipid serum. At this point, good research should be done before starting the treatment and if there is no allergic condition, treatment should be applied.


How is Intralipid Serum Treatment Applied?



Parents who want to have a child can resort to many ways for pregnancy to occur. In vitro fertilization, which has been very popular recently, has been determined as the most successful assisted reproductive method. If there are recurrent failures as a result of IVF treatment, this problem can be eliminated with intralipid serum treatment. Intralipid serum therapy is an extremely effective and successful form of treatment.

Intralipid serum treatment is administered to the expectant mother by intravenous route, with a preparation containing emulsified oil, prepared with a special concentration, which takes approximately 45 minutes. In other words, the patient's immune system is supported by giving oily serums intravenously.

In this article, we have given detailed explanations about inralipid serum therapy and that parents can receive intralipid serum treatment in cases where pregnancy does not occur due to some reasons.

Serum Intralipid Therapy is a treatment used specifically to strengthen the immune system. The immune system plays a big role in the repeated IVF failures and recurrent miscarriages seen in some women. For this purpose, intralipid serum therapy is also used. This is a type of treatment that is started prior to IVF treatment and is applied once a week or every two weeks until the baby's heartbeat is heard, if deemed necessary after pregnancy is achieved. Now let's take a closer look at intralipid serum treatment together ...

Intralipid serum therapy is a form of treatment that starts on the day of the transfer and continues throughout the process. Intralipid whey contains fat molecules and soy protein, which strengthens the immune system. The immune system is extremely important for a healthy pregnancy and its continuation. Because half of the child belongs to the father, the mother's body does not reject it. In vitro fertilization failure also occurs in case of rejection, but intralipid therapy can prevent this failure.

As a result of studies, it was found that treatment with intralipid serum does not have side effects. Only women can be allergic to some substances in the serum of intralipid, in which case this should be determined in advance. These substances are a number of special ingredients such as glycerin, egg phospholipids. It is preliminarily checked whether the patient is allergic to these substances. If the patient has an allergy, treatment is not applied.

Blastocyst transfer, which is one of the advanced in vitro fertilization techniques applied today, is a method that offers a much higher chance of pregnancy to couples who want to have children. The blastocyst transfer method, which is a method that minimizes the possibility of multiple pregnancy, which is frequently encountered in IVF treatments, supports families in making their plans to have a child more effectively. The blastocyst is defined as the 5th or 6th day of the egg becoming an embryo. Before transfer, one or two embryos of the highest quality are selected and the transfer is carried out. This method is among the most important processes of IVF treatment. What is blastocyst transfer, what are its advantages and risks? You can continue reading our article, which includes the details of blastocyst transfer with questions.


What is blastocyst transfer?



Blastocyst transfer, which has an extremely important place in the IVF treatment process, is the process of transferring the embryo created in the laboratory environment to the woman on the 5th or 6th development day. Embryos are followed in incubators in the laboratory and when they reach the blastocyst stage, transfer to the uterus is performed. Blastocyst transfer has many positive contributions to the IVF process, such as enabling better quality embryo transfer and reducing the risk of multiple pregnancy.


What are the advantages of blastocyst transfer?



Blastocyst transfer is a method that has been used frequently in recent years, depending on the developing technologies. In the first years of in vitro fertilization treatment, the expected time for transfer was 48 hours, but this period has been extended in parallel with the developments experienced today. In the blastocyst transfer method, embryos with the highest success rate are selected more easily with transfers made after 5 and 6 days. In general, the advantages of blastocyst transfer can be listed as follows;

The chance to achieve better results against recurrent pregnancy failures, thanks to the selection of embryos with better development potential and compatibility with the uterus,

Reducing the possibility of multiple pregnancy by transferring fewer embryos with high viability,

The chance to observe the embryo development more clearly and healthily,

Freezing of embryos at the time when they have the highest developmental power, that is, at the blastocyst stage,

· Allowing different methods to examine embryo viability.



What is the risk of blastocyst transfer?



The condition that can be encountered frequently as a result of blastocyst transfer is the factor of multiple pregnancy. For this reason, some legal restrictions have been imposed on the number of embryos to be transferred in order to be protected from the risks of multiple pregnancy. For our country, this limit has been determined to be a maximum of 2 embryos. By performing 1 or 2 blastocyst transfers in embryo transfer on the 5th day, both the risk of multiple pregnancy is reduced and the chance of pregnancy is increased. The aim of IVF treatment is to achieve a healthy fertilization. In this direction, better quality but less number of embryo transfers will minimize the risks that may be encountered and will facilitate healthy results.


Who is blastocyst transfer suitable for?



Blastocyst transfer can be applied to all couples with a high number of fertilized eggs and good embryo quality on the 2nd day. Since a single embryo can be transferred in the first two attempts under the age of 35, a blastocyst transfer will be made to them, thus preventing multiple pregnancy. In our country, blastocyst transfer is successfully applied and high success rates are achieved. However, the remaining quality embryos after the transfer are successfully frozen with the vitrification method, which is a new and fast freezing technique, giving couples a second chance.
