Importance of Genetic testing (PGT) of embryos for abnormalities

Posted on by Reviva Fertility

Importance of Genetic testing (PGT) of embryos for abnormalities

Our breakthrough is preimplantation genetic screening (PGT-A) of embryos for abnormalities.

#PGT offers voluble insights into the genetic composition of embryos

Helping couples make informed decisions & significantly improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.

#Here we will explore the importance of genetic testing (PGT) of embryos for abnormalities & its numerous benefits

(PGT)

(PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC SCREENING ) / TESTING

It allows the selection of embryos with the highest likelihood of developing into the healthy pregnancies by screening for chromosomal abnormalities.

Detecting Genetic Abnormalities:-

It enables the identification of chromosomal abnormalities such as aneuploidy or structural rearrangements.This information helps determine the viability and health of embryos before they are transferred into the uterus.
Reducing the Risk of Genetic Disorder:-
  • When a women has a blocked fallopian tube, conception can be almost impossible to achieve naturally without addressing the blockage or assisted reproductive care.
  • PGT-M is particularly beneficial for couples with a known genetic predioposition to specific disorders.
Improving Success Rates of Assisted Reproductive :- By selecting embryos with the correct number of structure of chromosomes, PGT enhances the success rates of assisted reproductive technologies. (ART) such as an IVF.
Ethical Considerations Includes:

Handling of excess embryos

Psychological impact of screening for certain conditions

  • Open & honest communication between healthcare professionals & couples undergoing genetic testing is crucial to address these concerns.
Embryo Biopsy Genetic Testing Methods Result Analysis
Few cells are carefully extracted from each embryo for genetic testing. Includes (NGS) Next generation sequencing or (PCR).
Occurs on 3rd day after fertilization or during blastocyst stage.    

Day 3 Embryo Biopsy

Day 5 Embryo Biopsy

PGT Limitations
Its important to acknowledge its limitations:
  1. PGT does not guarantee the birth of a healthy baby, as it cannot detect all genetic abnormalities or address mom – genetic factors that may affect pregnancy.

    So, there is still 1% risk of abnormalities in baby.

  2. False +VE or False –VE results can occur, leading to incorrect interpretations of embryo viability.
CONCLUSION:
By leveraging the power of genetic testing, couples can increase their chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy and welcoming a child into the world.

Fallopian tubes  &  Fertility 

Posted on by Reviva Fertility

Fallopian tubes  &  Fertility 

Your fallopian tubes play a vital role in the fertilization process necessary to become pregnant. The fallopian tubes are where the egg & sperm meet & the egg is fertilized.

The egg then travels through the fallopian fertilized. The egg then travels through the fallopian fertilized. The egg then travels through the fallopian tube , into the uterus to implant & grow into a baby.

So, lets address some questions are in one go:-

Can I get pregnant with only one working fallopian tube
  • When a women has a blocked fallopian tube, conception can be almost impossible to achieve naturally without addressing the blockage or assisted reproductive care.
A blockage can be in one or both fallopian tubes when , when a blockage exists , sperm cannot reach a viable egg waiting in the fallopian tube to become fertilized.
  • Blocked fallopian tubes cause
  • Endometriosis
  • Fibroid
  • Tubal ligation
  • Pelvic inflammatory
  • Prior abdominal or pelvic surgery
  • Can I get pregnant after a tubal ligation!
  • Tubal ligation & pregnancy
  • It’s a surgical procedure, where the fallopian tubes are either blocked or cut to prevent pregnancy . this procedure has also been referred to as getting your tubes tied. Tubal ligation is a permanent form of birth control & sometimes can be reversed.
  • Occasionally women want to get pregnant after having a tubal ligation due to varying circumstances & life changes .
There are few options if you want to get pregnant after libel ligation.
Fertility with no fallopian tubes :-
There have been cases where women with no fallopian tubes are looking to become pregnant.
A women may have had her fallopian tubes removed for various reasons including:-
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Endometriosis
  • A severe infection
  • Prevention/ treatment of ovarian cancer
  • Regardless , a women can get pregnant with no fallopian tubes , but she will require assisted fertility treatment.

How to prepare yourself for blastocyst transfer

How to prepare yourself for blastocyst transfer

With the aid of ART, such as IVF , infertile intended parents can have children. We have came up with the best and easiest solution for you . I ensure after reading this blog all queries related to blastocyst transfer would be solved.

What does blastocyst transfer signify?

Blastocyst transfer will be briefly defined before the direct question is addressed. Embryos can be successfully cultured upto the blastocyst stage thanks to recent improvements in the IVF lab procedures and culture material. Compared to the embryos at an earlier stage,blastocyst might have higher chance of implanting into the uterine wall.

Blastocyst embryo transfer recommended for?

Blastocyst culture is being given as an alternative option to couples. Who have trial IVF or IVF-ICSI unsuccessfully despite having several high quality eggs recovered?

Couples that are strong candidates for blastocyst culture include those who have several healthy embryos on day 3.

How does transferring blastocyst benefits you?

  • A developing embryo generally exists the fallopian tube and enters the uterus at the blastocyst stage (5 days after fertilization).
  • The blastocyst begins to implant itself to the uterus lining once it has reached the uterus a practice called as implantation.
  • The benefit of trying to develop embryos to the blastocyst is that since this stage of development is more compatible with uterine environment. It should increase the likelihood that the embryos will implant; fewer embryos will need to be replaced as a result lowering the possibility of having multiple pregnancies.
Risks involved in blastocyst transfer:-
Drawbacks are that very few embryos (probably between 30% & 50% of them) will survive or develop to this stage. A 10% chance exists that no embryos will develop to the blastocyst transfer stage leaving no embryos eligible for transfer.There are also a lot fewer “spare” embryos available for freezing.
FINAL OUTCOME.

Bleeding & Spotting During ovulation: – When to be concerned

Posted on by Reviva Fertility

Bleeding & Spotting During ovulation: – When to be concerned

Ovulation occurs when the ovary releases an egg and some women experience bleeding & spotting around the time they are ovulating, which is normal occurrence. In fact, it’s fairly common for women to spot or bleed some point in their menstrual cycles. But when should you be concerned about the bleeding during ovulation?

( This blog post will explore the signs that indicate when ovulation spotting or bleeding is normal and when it is a sign of concern. it will also discuss the next steps that you can take if you are concerned about bleeding & spotting during ovulation.)

What is ovulation spotting?

Light vaginal bleeding that can occurs during before or after ovulation. (Not every woman has spotting during ovulation).

Ovulation bleeding occurs when there is a change in hormone levels. For example: estrogen levels decreases before woman starts ovulating and as a results, this causes endometrial to shed.

You may also experience other symptoms of ovulation such as :-

  • Breast soreness and tenderness
  • Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Increased sexual desire
  • Bloating
  • Changes in your body basal temperature
  • Increased heart Rate

When does ovulation bleeding occur?

When you are ovulating, an ovary releases an egg and this occurs in the middle of your menstrual cycle between 11-12 days after the first day of your last period. Women do not always ovulate on the same days, as it depends on the length of their cycle.

When is spotting during ovulation considered normal?

Some signs that can help you determine whether your bleeding during ovulation is normal or a cause for concern.

  • First of all, it’s essential to keep in mind that ovulation bleeding occurs only once during each cycle.
  • Before you start ovulating, you experience an increase in estrogen levels, which then drop after ovulation. As a results progesterone levels rise for 5 days.
  • The fluctuation in E2 & P4 is what causes ovulation spotting.
When bleeding during ovulation is a sign of concern?
Heavy, severe and prolonged bleeding, we recommend seeing a doctor to provide you with diagnosis.
SOME HEALTH CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE BLEEDING BETWEEN PERIODS:
  • Premature spotting
  • PCOS
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Bloating
  • Thyroid issues
  • Kidney or liver disease
Spotting between periods can also be a sign of infection. If you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as gonorrhea and Chlamydia, you have a high chance of having light bleeding.

Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)

Posted on by Reviva Fertility

Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)

recurrent implantations

 

 

 

Recurrent implantation failure refers to the inability of embryos to implant into uterine lining after repeated attempts at ART like IVF. Despite transferring healthy embryos, they fail to attach to the uterus and initiate a pregnancy.

Who can get recurrent implantation failure?

  • RIF can affect individuals or couples undergoing ART , partially IVF , it can occur in cases where the underlying cause remains unidentified.

Types of RIF:-

Early RIF : In this , embryo fail to implant shortly after being transferred into the uterus.

Late RIF:– In this type , when the embryos implant initially but result in early miscarriage or failed development soon after implantation.

Causes of RIF:-

  • Embryo related factors: Chromosomal Abnormalities (poor embryo quality).
  • Urine Factors: urine abnormalities or structural tissues – endometrial receptivity tissues , chronic endometriosis or infections.
  • Hormonal factors: Hormonal imbalances affecting the menstrual cycle-thyroid disorders or diabetes.
  • Lifestyle and environmental factors: Smoking or substance abuse –poor diet and nutrition – stress and excessive physical activity.

ENDOMETRIOSIS & FERTILITY : 3 Reasons for women to have hope

If you want to get pregnant and you are diagnosed with endometriosis, you might assume that all hope is lost. With the right treatment, you might get pregnant more easily than you think.

3 Reasons Not to Panic About Endometriosis:-

Reason 1

  • First because you have endometriosis doesn’t mean you are infertile.
  • Endometriosis happens when the cells lining the uterus start to grow in places they shouldn’t, such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes.
  • But the problem varies for each woman; some people might have extensive endometriosis others might have just a few spots where the growth occurs.
  • The greater proportion of woman with endometriosis has difficulty getting pregnant but just because you have endometriosis that doesn’t automatically mean you have infertility.

Reason 2

  • There’s no harm in trying to get pregnant on your own when you have endometriosis.
  • If you have been diagnosed with endometriosis, doesn’t assume you need to see a fertility specialist right away. When you want to get pregnant, first try on your own.
  • If woman with endometriosis is not pregnant after 6 or 7 months of trying on her own , we may ask her to come in for an infertility consult to see if the endometriosis is contributing to try before seeking fertility assistance.

Reason 3

There are many treatments, depending on what’s right for you:

  • If you have endometriosis and are struggling with fertility, the first step is to be evaluated by a fertility specialist to see if the fallopian tube is open or not.
  • This is because there are 2 main ways that endometriosis can impact a women’s fertility:

MACROSCOPIC

MICROSCOPIC
(Woman with macroscopic Disease may have lesions and scar tissue That can sometimes block the fallopian tube) This can make it difficult for an egg to make Its way into the uterus. (On the other hand women with endometriosis have completely normal but microscopic lesions. It may or ,may not affect fertility)
  • An evaluation with fertility specialist can help physicians determine the extent to which your endometriosis is contribute to infertility and guide treatment accordingly.
  • Depending on the extent of disease, treatment options for infertility might range from oral medications all the way up to more advanced treatments like IVF .
  • The spectrum of options depends on many factor including:
  • Age
  • Reproductive history
  • Overall health
  • Results of your infertility evaluation
Conclusion
we have come quite a long way in understanding endometriosis how it offers fertility and how to treat it. Your chances of conceiving are better than they have ever been, so its worth looking into the many treatment options that are available.

Fresh VS Frozen Embryo Transfers: An Explanation through Comparisons

Posted on by Reviva Fertility

Fresh VS Frozen Embryo Transfers: An Explanation through Comparisons

Fresh embryo transfers were the only option when In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) was initially introduced due to the limited progress in cryopreservation techniques.

Fresh & Frozen Embryo Transfers

However, over the past years, significant advancements in:

  • Cryopreservation
  • Culture Media
  • Reproductive Technologies

Nowadays Generally FET’s are preferred depending upon various factors: -

  • Age of couple
  • No of oocytes received
  • Quality of embryos
  • Hormonal parameters
  • Adequacy of endometrial lining

Fresh & Frozen Embryo Transfers

Understanding the Differences

Fresh Embryo Transfer

  • It is typically scheduled for 3 days or 5 days after the eggs are collected from the patient.
  • Fresh embryo transfer allows for a shorter time between egg retrieval & transfer into the uterus, increasing the chances of conception.
  • However, certain cases where fresh embryo transfer is not recommended. If the patient progesterone level is high, it can negatively impact the implantation of embryos, making a fresh embryo transfer unsuitable.

Frozen Embryo Transfer

  • A frozen embryo transfer typically takes place around 6-8 weeks after the embryo has been frozen.
  • When the patient is ready for transfer, she will be given medications to stimulate a natural menstrual cycle.
  • The FET date is then coordinated with the cycle to improve the chances of successful implantation. It can also be utilized for future pregnancies.
Embryo Transfer

The Benefits & Drawbacks of Fresh & Frozen Embryo Transfer

Advantages of Fresh Embryo Transfer:

  • The waiting time for fresh embryo transfer is shorter as embryos are transferred soon after fertilization.
  • The embryos are not subjected to the stress of freezing & thawing.
  • Fresh cycle involves the process of ovarian stimulation, which can result in a receptive endometrial lining, if the women is not hyper – responded.

Disadvantages of Fresh Embryo Transfer

  • Ovarian stimulation during fresh cycles may result in OHSS (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome), a potentially serious condition marked by enlarged & painful ovaries.
  • Fresh transfer is time critical & need to be synchronized with the natural menstrual cycle, providing limited flexibility in terms of timing.

Advantages of Frozen embryo Transfer

  • FET provides a couple who have encountered challenging situations like cancer treatments with the opportunity to have children once their treatments are successfully completed.
  • Reduced risk of ovarian hyperstimulation.
Disadvantages of frozen embryo transfer

  • Not every embryo can withstand the freezing & thawing process, which could lead to a reduced no. of embryos available for transfer.
  • Going through frozen embryo transfer can be quite time consuming.

Factors to consider when deciding between fresh or frozen embryo transfer

  • Personal health
  • Timing flexibility
  • Success rate
