- Is mini in vitro fertilization treatment a new form of treatment?
In fact, in the years when in vitro fertilization treatment was first applied, all treatments were Mini In Vitro Fertilization applications. In vitro fertilization was performed in a natural cycle without medication. An attempt was made to achieve pregnancy with a single egg. It is not a new form of treatment, but we can say that it has started to attract the attention of in vitro fertilization specialists and has come to the fore again.
- What is the difference between mini in vitro fertilization and classical in vitro fertilization treatments?
In classical in vitro fertilization treatments, our goal is to obtain around 10 eggs. Between 1990 and 2000, the aim was to obtain as many eggs as possible. However, nowadays, "better quality eggs" are the priority.
The only way to obtain more than one egg is pre-treatment with ovulation enhancing drugs. In classical in vitro fertilization treatment, ovulation enhancing drugs are used for 10 days starting from the 3rd day of menstruation. Meanwhile, egg protective needles are also used for 1-3 weeks to prevent premature cracking. During this treatment, the person gives himself at least 15 injections. Only in this way can a large number of eggs that have completed their maturation and are ready for fertilization be obtained.
- How is mini in vitro fertilization treatment performed?
Menstruation On the 3rd day, it is checked for cysts with ultrasound. Only folic acid vitamin is given. Egg growth is checked again with ultrasound after 4 days, before any injection is given. The person's naturally growing egg is monitored. When the diameter of the egg cyst reaches 13 mm, egg preservation injections are started. 1-2 ampoules of ovulation needle are added to support the egg to continue growing. The treatment is completed with a total of 5-6 injections. The laboratory steps after a single egg is removed under light anesthesia are similar to classical in vitro fertilization. Embryo formation is monitored and embryo transfer is made at the appropriate time.
- Who prefers mini in vitro fertilization treatment?
Those who prefer it most frequently today. They are people who have experienced repeated in vitro fertilization failures, have low ovulation capacity, and low egg quality. This treatment is viewed as a kind of final trial.
However, there are other reasons that are increasing and making this treatment popular. Working, intellectual women, especially if they start in vitro fertilization treatment due to the male factor, want to avoid excessive treatment, medication and tests.
The fact that this treatment is more economical is also an interesting aspect. Fewer injections are given. Treatment can be completed with less medication costs and almost no blood tests. The cost of in vitro fertilization is almost one third of the classical treatment.
- Can we say that mini in vitro fertilization treatment is "Patient Friendly"?
In fact, compared to 20-30 years ago, today's classical treatment method is already "patient friendly". Modern in vitro fertilization practices now aim for fewer but higher quality eggs. The injections used consist of small needles that can be administered under the skin and can be administered by the person himself. Much more modern applications than in the past. However, they are still not perfect and unfortunately, there is no other form of drug treatment other than injections that has the same success as these treatments.
Considering the method of application of mini in vitro fertilization treatment, it is truly the most ''Patient-Friendly''
strong> treatment program.- Are there any disadvantages of mini in vitro fertilization treatment compared to classical in vitro fertilization treatment?
The most important disadvantage is pregnancy. are the rates. The chance of pregnancy in one try of mini in vitro fertilization is around 8-9%. However, let's remember that classical in vitro fertilization has a pregnancy chance of around 40-45% at once. If mini in vitro fertilization is applied determinedly 6 times in a row, the chance of pregnancy can only approach the pregnancy rate in one attempt with the classical in vitro fertilization method.
By the way, other important disadvantages are disruptions in egg and embryo development. Since mini in vitro fertilization treatment targets a single egg, bad surprises such as poor quality eggs, empty eggs, as well as embryo failure to develop in the laboratory stage may be encountered.
- Mini in vitro fertilization replaces classical in vitro fertilization treatment. Can I take it?
The success rate of a treatment is as important as its ease of application. Mini IVF is very easy Although it may seem attractive, the fact that the success rates are not at the desired level can cause hesitation for us and our patients. Because couples can afford to be physically exhausted during in vitro fertilization treatment, provided that the chance of receiving good news is high.
Today, neither mini in vitro fertilization nor drug-free in vitro fertilization treatment can replace classical in vitro fertilization treatment. The highest success rates are still classic applications. However, let's not forget that classical treatments are also facilitated by new practices and new views that will cause less pain to the patient.
