Recurrent Miscarriage
Recurrent pregnancy losses can be emotionally and physically challenging for many couples. In coping with this situation, IVF (In-vitro Fertilization) treatment can be an option.
Here are some ways in which IVF can be utilized in the treatment of recurrent pregnancy losses:
-
Genetic Testing: IVF allows for the application of genetic tests to determine the underlying genetic factors behind recurrent pregnancy losses. By conducting genetic analysis of embryos, the selection and transfer of embryos carrying genetic abnormalities can be prevented.
-
Ovarian Stimulation and Egg Selection: During IVF treatment, the woman's ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs. This results in obtaining more embryos, and the healthiest ones are selected for transfer.
-
Embryo Selection and Transfer: In IVF treatment, the embryos obtained are typically cultured in the laboratory for several days. During this time, the development and quality of the embryos are monitored. The healthiest embryos are transferred to prevent recurrent pregnancy losses.
-
Assisted Reproductive Techniques: Assisted reproductive techniques used during IVF treatment can help in the healthier placement of embryos into the uterus. These may include endometrial scratchings to enhance embryo implantation, timing techniques to improve embryo selection, and other technologies.
-
Emotional and Psychological Support: Couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy losses should seek emotional and psychological support. Utilizing resources such as counseling and support groups during IVF treatment can help couples stay resilient throughout this process.
