How safe is IVF treatment?

IVF treatment is very safe. A great deal of its success depends upon the medical expertise and the health of the patient. If you have chosen an expert IVF doctor for your IVF cycle, rest assured it will be a safe and a seamless procedure.

What is the ideal age for conceiving through IVF technology?

Success in IVF cycle depends on a great deal on the age of the female. Females below the age of 35 have a high chance of a successful IVF cycle. With increasing age, the chances reduce slightly. There have been instances of successful IVF cycles in the age group of 35 – 40 who have done IVF at our centre. Females patients above 42 years have low chances of successful IVF pregnancy.

My first IVF cycle was unsuccessful. What should I do now?

Relax, you can go for another IVF cycle after a couple of months. Our IVF doctors could begin with understanding the reason for its failure. They can suggest a change in the hormonal medication or a preimplantation genetic screening for transfer of the healthy embryo.

Will I have more than one child through IVF?

Well, this depends upon your health condition and your IVF specialist. It is best to discuss the number of implantation of embryos into your womb. You can deliver twins or triplets if more than one embryo is transferred to your womb. Nisha IVF centre has a very high success rate in IVF cycles, so you trust us to offer you a comprehensive and seamless IVF experience.

What is Elective Single Embryo Transfer?

Elective Single Embryo Transfer (eSET) is a process that transfers a single embryo during IVF into the uterus even though there are multiple healthy embryos available.

Generally, when you undergo IVF, medications are given to develop more eggs. These eggs are then fertilized with the sperm. After fertilization, several embryos are transferred to your uterus.

Why the need for elective single embryo transfer?

The main aim of eSETis to reduce the multiple pregnancy rate associated with IVF.

Transferring several embryos during IVF increases the risk of having multiple births.

According to data, around 30% of IVF pregnancies are twin pregnancies whereas about 3- 4% are triplet or more.

Why should you avoid multiple pregnancy?

Multiple pregnancy can be dangerous for both the mother and fetuses.

It can lead to the following health concern in the mother, such as:

Premature delivery
Emotional stress pre-and post-delivery
Risk of gestational diabetes
Risk of increase blood loss after delivery
Chances of miscarriage
Delivery through caesarean section

Health concern for babies include:

Premature birth
Increase in mortality rates
Low birth weight
Need for Intensive care
Complications related to early delivery include problems with the baby’s brain, lungs, nervous system, or intestinal tract.

How is the best embryo chosen for elective single embryo transfer?

We assess each embryo in the laboratory based on the appearance, number, and size of the cells and development rate to pick the highest-quality embryo for transfer.

Moreover, we also evaluate the embryos depending on whether it is in the cleavage or blastocyst stage.

To do so, we use advanced grading systems such as:

Extended embryo culture – Allowing the embryo to develop to a more advanced stage by extending the embryo culture to day 5 makes it possible to select the highest quality embryo.

Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy – PGT-A is a safe and reliable test that helps to identify the embryos with normal chromosome counts.

Vitrification –The extra viable embryos are vitrified and stored for future use. They can be thawed for transfer later on.

Who is the right candidate for elective single embryo transfer?

Our fertility specialists at Nisha IVF, Ahmedabad, only consider women with a good prognosis for pregnancy for eSET.

The best candidate is women who:

Are less than 35 years of age
Are undergoing their first ART cycle
Have had a successful pregnancy through the ART cycle
Have several high-quality embryos
Have extra embryos for vitrification.

How successful is elective single embryo transfer?

High pregnancy rates are achieved in women who are considered good candidates for elective single embryo transfer.

Also, most of these pregnancies are singletons, thereby avoiding medical complications for many mothers and babies.

Further, you can freeze the extra embryos for future transfer.
