In vitro fertilization

Since 2013, professional fertility doctors have been conducting in vitro fertilization in the department of new medical technologies with a group for the treatment of breast diseases headed by Marina Viktorovna Kiseleva. During this time, more than 200 women have become mothers, and each child is a real happiness and victory, because the doctors take on even the most difficult clinical cases.

Repeated successful attempts of in vitro fertilization prove the highest level of skill and competence of specialists even in the most complex clinical cases. Advanced technical capabilities and the enormous experience enable women to carry pregnancy to term and give birth to a healthy child even after aggressive cancer treatment.

Make an appointment at A. Tsyb MRRC to receive a consultation, during which you can find out how in vitro fertilization is done, what medical tests are required, what the preparation involves, which protocol is right for you and how the pregnancy goes after the procedure.

In vitro fertilization is a unique technique that allows people who have a history of reproductive dysfunction or have undergone aggressive treatment to become parents.

In vitro fertilization is prescribed strictly on the basis of medical indications in the presence of the following factors:

• fallopian tube dysfunction;
• inflammatory processes and other pathologies of the uterus;
• hormonal factor;
• serious genetic disorders.

Can a woman give birth to a healthy child after cancer treatment?

Definitely yes! Recently, the age for cancer incidence has been decreasing, and considering the aggressive treatment, which can have a detrimental effect on the functioning of women’s reproductive organs, the issue of Motherhood Deferred has become very important.

A. Tsyb MRRC is actively working on the program Preserving Fertility in Cancer Patients, which allows women who have undergone radio- and chemotherapy to become mothers. In vitro fertilization in such cases requires more thorough and lengthy preparation, however, it is possible and, thanks to this program and the doctors’ efforts, more than 60 children have already been born.

There are a number of factors that influence the possibility of conception, how effective in vitro fertilization will be, and how the pregnancy and childbirth will proceed:

• woman’s age;
• duration of infertility diagnosis;
• quality of reproductive cells;
• general anamnesis;
• pathologies of internal organs;
• endometrial structure;
• current health indicators of the body.

Pregnancy as a result of in vitro fertilization has one characteristic feature – a high probability of premature birth. This is due to the frequent occurrence of multiple pregnancies, in which preterm birth is common. To avoid this, in the absence of contraindications, one embryo (or sometimes two) is transferred.

Preparing for in vitro fertilization is the first step on the way to pregnancy. When choosing in vitro fertilization, a couple should undergo a thorough examination of reproductive function to avoid the development of complications. Diagnostic measures before the procedure make it possible to identify possible contraindications or health problems at the initial stage and eliminate them. After the examination, the reproductive specialist determines preparation plans for IVF for spouses on an individual basis.

Standard diagnostics for women:

• consultations with specialists;
• functional diagnostics (ultrasound, mammography for women over 35 years old, ECG, fluorography);
• blood and urine tests (including TORCH complex and blood test for HIV, hepatitis B/C, syphilis);
• cytological examination of smears from the cervix and cervical canal;
• diagnosis of urogenital infections;
• PCR test;
• consultation and conclusion of a general practitioner;
• test of hormonal levels.

Standard diagnostics for men:

• consultations with specialists;
• blood and urine tests (including blood tests for HIV, hepatitis B/C, syphilis);
• study of hormonal levels;
• spermogram;
• MAR test;
• PCR test.

The final list of necessary tests and studies is determined by your doctor.

Based on the results of the examination, your doctor will select the most preferable option for IVF and, if necessary, prescribe preparatory treatment.
