The fertility journey couples experience during their lives is one of the most important trips they will navigate through! However, trying to conceive without a positive result is able to create not only a psychological transition but also problems in the relationship between them. The diagnosis of infertility often disturbs the waters and brings clouds in the atmosphere during this beautiful journey they have decided to go through together… However, science shapes another point of view on the infertility issue and aims to bring the lull again on this amazing journey! Assisted reproduction with its new methods and techniques creates hope to couples subconsciously and brings the family – creation dream even closer to its realization. One of the most known methods of assisted reproduction, with the highest pregnancy success rates is IVF. In vitro fertilization is the fertilization that occurs outside the body: instead the fertilization of the ovum from the sperm occurs to its natural environment, which is the woman’s uterus, is happens in the laboratory. The embryologist, the scientist who combines the woman’s egg with the male’s sperm in a specially designed area, plays a key role during an IVF cycle, with the aim of creating the coveted embryo, that a few days later will be implanted into the woman’s uterus. Your embryologist, therefore, plays one of the most important roles during an IVF treatment and for this reason we present you below 5 facts that you would definitely want to know before you even begin such a treatment.

Fact # 1

Every embryo is different

In an embryologist’s eyes, each embryo is different because it constitutes the unique result of the combination of an egg with a sperm; gametes that differ in their DNA from the rest. Intravaginal ultrasound is able to show you how many ovaries grow as well as their size during a cycle treatment. However, each egg inside the ovaries has its own, distinct, genetic structure that differentiates it from the rest and accuses on unique fertilizing dynamics. The same thing happens to the sperm as they do not all indicate the same potential fertilization dynamics on an egg.

Fact #2

The embryologist cannot interfere and “correct” the egg and its quality

Women are born with all their eggs and the number and quality of them are changing over time. The embryologist, during an IVF cycle, can clearly create an embryo in the laboratory using the couple’s gametes but, undoubtedly, they cannot repair or increase the genetic dynamics of an embryo. Sure, your way of life can improve the fertility levels your body could indicate, but do not forget to consult your doctor before and during your treatment because he is the only one able to guide you to the success of your treatment.

Fact #3

Every journey is different

During an IVF treatment, it is not right to compare yourself with others. Clearly, it is compassionate to feel that “you are not the only one in this journey” but it is wrong to rely on third parties experiences. We know that this trip will be great and difficult for you … but always remember that each trip is unique because it reveals different paths and drives you to different ports each time, as an IVF treatment is not only therapeutic but also diagnostic. And of course never forget … each treatment has a different outcome, but the positive result is more difficult to manage than the negative!

Fact #4

No one can guarantee success

There are always indications of the outcome of an IVF treatment that constitute a part of the medical history of the couple / woman, their lifestyle, and the woman’s response to the medication that is given to her by her doctor. However, even if all the indications have a positive character, they are not able to guarantee a positive result. Clearly, the sense of hope and optimism are emerging, but it is important that you always continent since, as we mentioned earlier, what is essential is not only the result but also the management of it.

 

Fact #5

Your embryologist wants the best for you

The magical recipe for success, unfortunately, does not exist! Your doctor and your embryologist want you the best for you and they fight with you to bring you a step closer to your biggest dream…your child! The goal of an IVF cycle and, therefore the port of your trip, is a healthy baby and your embryologist is a big part of this creation! Trust your doctor because he/she is the one who will lead you to the embryologist of your heart … and if I mention “your heart” is because he/she will create “the baby of your heart”!!!
