About Dr. Ranjanee N Shelat
Overview
In vitro fertilization (or fertilization; IVF) is a process by which an egg is fertilised by sperm outside the body: in vitro (“in glass”). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman’s ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a liquid in a laboratory. The fertilized egg (zygote) is cultured for 2–6 days in a growth medium and is then implanted in the same or another woman’s uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
IVF / ET Program Step – by – Step :
- Hormonal Stimulation
- Monitoring The Maturity of Eggs
- Egg Collection
- Semen Specimen Collection
- Fertilization and Cleavage
- Embryo Transfer
- Blood Tests
FAQ’s
Some men are able to produce sperm in their testicles but for a number of reasons these sperm are notpresent in the ejaculate. This may be because a blockage is stopping the sperm from passing through the tubules.
Sperm recovered from the epididymis will be very similar to those that are ejaculated, except that they will be immature and therefore unlikely to be able to fertilise an egg at IVF. Sperm recovered from the testes will be even less mature than those recovered from the epididymis and so will also not be capable of fertilising an egg at IVF.
You will be asked to shave your testicles the night before the operation. You will also need to not eat anything from midnight and drink anything from 7 am on the day the operation.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) offers the best chance of gaining fertilisation with these immature sperm. Please see the relevant ICSI information sheets.
A semen analysis showing the presence of no sperm at all (Azoospermia) will indicate that further tests should be carried out to determine whether sperm recovery is an option. These tests will include a blood test to check your hormone levels, an examination of your testes and a blood test to see if you have any genetic problems. If these tests are inconclusive you may also require a testicular biopsy which would determine whether sperm production is occurring in your testes.
There are a number of sperm recovery techniques available:
Microepididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA)
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA)
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)
For PESA and TESA you will be given a local anesthetic and sedation during the procedure. For TESE a general anaesthetic is required.
Recovering after the operation.
If you have had a local anaesthetic with sedation you will be allowed home a couple of hours after the operation. You will not be allowed to drive or work for 24 hours, so you will need to arrange transport home after the operatin. You may have some bruising, minor swelling and discomfort for a few days after the operation.
Sperm recovery is usually carried out partner taking her drugs to get started on an ICSI cycle. This means that we can be sure we have sperm stored before the ICSI cycle is stated.
Occasionally the sperm recovery may be lined up to coincide with the day of the egg collection in the ICSI cycle.
