In-Vitro-Fertilization（IVF）

The LH surge is necessary for the egg to mature and have the ability to fertilize during egg retrieval.
In our clinic, we use injections and nasal drops, and do this two days before egg retrieval.

There are 4 ways to check the culture status of an embryo (fertilized egg).It might be duplicated.

(1) Receive an explanation from the doctor. … Please make an appointment for examination.

(2) Receive explanation from staff. … Please make an appointment for look back IVF consultation.

(3) Patients who wish may receive email updates on their culture status. Emails are sent three times: the day after egg retrieval, three days after egg retrieval, and six days after egg retrieval.

(4) Observing the embryonic development process on video using a time-lapse embryo monitoring system.

It can also be cultured using a culture medium containing GM-CSF, which is effective in cases where premature miscarriages are repeated two or more times.

We will proceed with the following 7 choices.
If you have a preferred method, please consult your doctor in advance.

[Fresh embryo transfer] This is a method in which embryo transfer is performed during the egg retrieval cycle. It is not recommended due to the lower pregnancy rate compared to frozen and thawed embryo transfer, the risk of ovarian swelling, luteal dysfunction due to egg retrieval, and the risk of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).[Frozen thawed embryo transfer]The fertilized egg (embryo) obtained from the egg retrieval is cultured and cryopreserved. This is a method in which the embryos are thawed on the scheduled day of embryo transfer and the thawed embryos are transferred. Because it can regulate the uterine environment, the pregnancy rate is high and the miscarriage rate is low.

LAH(Laser Assiated Hatching) is a method of assisting the embryo(fertilized egg) to escape the shell called the zona pellucida.LAH is one out of several methods to help the embryo to hatch and attach to the uterus.

This is a method for assisting in the hatching of embryos. The reason why hatching needs to be assisted is that there have been reports that when embryos are cryopreserved, the part of the egg shell called the zona pellucida becomes hardened. It is also said that as women age, their clear zones become harder. When this happens, the embryo itself may not be able to break the zona pellucida with its own strength, and may not be able to implant because it cannot hatch. To prevent this from happening, laser assisted hatching is a method of using human hands to help with the hatching.

A blood sample is taken about 11 to 12 days after the embryo transfer, and the results are determined by the hCG hormone level in the blood. If you would like to have the test done earlier, please ask our staff as it can be done from 7 days after the transplant.span[If positive]After you have been in our clinic until you are about 8 weeks pregnant, we will write you a letter of introduction to the delivery facility of your choice and you can move on to that facility. Please let our staff know if you would like to transfer to another hospital or clinic as soon as possible.[If negative]You can take your time to consult with us about this IVF and your future treatment. You can also visit the "Implantation Failure Outpatient" for consultations and tests related to implantation.
