Preimplantation Genetic Testing How, when and why is it done? Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is inseparably linked to in vitro fertilisation and aims to control embryos that are grown in the laboratory. In other words, preimplantation testing is a test that allows us to analyse the DNA of the [...]

Blastocyst Biopsy The blastocyst technique has a historical overview as a preimplantation genetic diagnosis by Gardner and Edwards in 1968 in mice and rabbits for sex determination. Extensive studies were conducted by the Dokras team in 1990. Biopsy of polar bodies and analysis of all 23 oocyte chromosomes [...]

This technique involves inserting the sperm through a very fine needle into the egg. Once immobilized, the sperm is sucked into the needle which enters the inside of the egg, piercing both the [...]

Embryo transfer – Blastocyst An alternative solution to embryo transfer is the one performed on the 5th day after egg collection where the embryo will have reached the blastocyst stage. This extended embryo culture in the laboratory offers some advantages over embryo transfer on the 3rd day. Specific [...]

In Vitro Maturation (IVM) The maturation of eggs outside a woman's body is a new method with a huge prospective for the future. This means that women, who are sensitive to the effects of stimulation drugs, can avoid their widespread impact if their oocytes are collected from the [...]

Azoospermia & Sperm Collection Techniques In cases of azoospermia, spermatozoa are obtained from the testicles. However, depending on the causes of azoospermia, there is a distinction between obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia, there is a production of spermatozoa in the testes; nevertheless it is impossible for them to be [...]

Egg & Sperm Fusion Fertilization Conventional IVF The conventional IVF is considered as the least invasive technique to naturally fertilize an egg.  Following the collection process, the eggs and the sperm are stored together under special conditions, similar to those in the body of a woman, so that [...]

IVF with Injectable Medications - Suppression of Hormone Production Ovarian stimulation is done with the so-called pituitary gonadotropins. The drugs that these hormones contain aim towards the controlled ovarian stimulation for the production of multiple follicles and hence, the production of ova. The administration of these drugs and [...]
