Stages of treatment

Blockage. On days 20-21 of the menstrual cycle, the pituitary gland is blocked with GnRH agonists. The purpose of the drug administration is to suppress ovarian function and stimulate maturation of more oocytes.

Ovarian stimulation. On the 2-4th day of the menstrual cycle, active stimulation of the ovaries with gonadotropins under constant ultrasound monitoring begins. It takes 10-14 days on average. An ultrasound examination is required to assess follicular growth. When the follicle is mature enough, a trigger injection is given.

The doctor will appoint the day of visiting the clinic. The time of oocyte collection (puncture) is determined. 36 hours before the puncture, a woman makes a stimulating (trigger) injection of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin).

Egg collection. In the hospital, the follicles are punctured with the collection of mature eggs (on the 12-15 day of the menstrual cycle). The husband of the patient, on his turn, collects the ejaculate. The ejaculate can be collected naturally, or by a puncture of the testicle (in azoospermia, obstruction of the vas deferens in men – the ICSI procedure).

Fertilization. 2-6 hours after egg collection, eggs are fertilized with the husband’s sperm. This is a laboratory procedure and no patient involvement is required.

Embryo culture. Fertilized eggs will be cultured for 1-5 days. According to patients’ needs and embryo status, best 1-3 embryos can be transferred to the womb.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis. PGD is usually performed on day 3. It takes 1 day to receive the results. One or two cells from the embryo can be taken without harming it, and some genetic tests can be done in one or two days.

Embryo transfer. This procedure is painless and no anesthesia is required, although some patients need sedation. One hour after the procedure, patients can leave the clinic and can return home on the same day.
