How I have to prepare for a more successful ICSI, ET or ZIFT cycle
For a more successful outcome and to get pregnant you'd better to do these suggestion before doing and IVF/ICSI-ET or Zift cycle
1) The measurement of FSH, LH, Estradiol, TSH, Prolactin on the 3th day of menstruation.
2) Semen analysis
3) The results of assessment of uterine tubes by hysterosalpingography or laparoscopy for sever hydrosalpinx in 3-4 recent years because we have to disconnect the hydrosalpinx to uterus to improve the pregnancy rate and to prevent some miscarriages.
4) Ultrasonography on the 8-10th day of menstrual period to evaluate endometrial pattern and line for diagnosis of endometrial polyp, submucosal myoma or any abnormality in endometrium so we have to treat them by hysteroscopy before doing IVF, ET and also to ensure about the absence of endometrima or other important tumors or cysts of ovaries.
5) Pelvic examination for diagnosis of cervicitis, endocervicitis, endocervical polyp and prescribing Doycycline and folic acid to the patient and doing cryosurgery of cervical erosion if it is indicated.
6) If our plan is ZIFT, it is necessary to do diagnostic laparoscopy to ensure about the free spillage and health of uterine tubes.
7) After all of these, if there is no problem and everything is ok for doing a successful ICSI we should begin low dose oral contraceptive pill on the 3rd day of your menstrual period then you have to get a signel dose injection of 1/2 Decapeptyl (subdermal) or 1/2 Diphereline (intramuscular )or few days super fact or 0.1 ml Decapeptyl on the 20th day of your menstrual period then you should come to clinic on the first to third day of your next menstrual period to begin for you controlled ovarian hyperstimulation: on this day you have to do an ultra sonography to measure the count and the size of antral follicles on each ovary and also to ensure about the thickness of endometrial line <>

Oocyte vitrification bank of Mehr Health Care Center The first of its kind in the middle east now functioning

What is Vitrification?

Vitrification is the process of cryopreservation using high concentrations of cryoprotectorant with rapid freezing to solidify the cell into a glass-like state without the formation of ice crystals. Ice crystals within an egg can cause damage or cryoinjuries.
Mehr institute team routinely uses vitrification with great success for patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures who have more embryos than are required for a fresh embryo transfer. Vitrification maximizes their chances of cryopreserved embryos' being thawed at a later date and used successfully to achieve pregnancy.
Oocyte Preservation provides the ability to preserve unfertilized oocytes, a profound development in the field of reproductive medicine. Egg-freezing should appeal to a broad range of women. Ultimately, the common factors that link all of these women are the strong desire to have a family and the willingness to take proactive steps to give themselves the best odds possible.

Who will benefit from oocyte vitrification?

• Young women with cancer who run the risk of having no viable oocytes following cancer treatment.
• Couples who have religious or moral issues with embryo freezing. Young women who are single and wish to freeze oocytes now in hopes of preserving their oocytes while young and at a time when they are less likely to have chromosomal aneuploidy.
• Young women who are single and wish to freeze oocytes now in hopes of preserving their oocytes while young and at a time when they are less likely to have chromosomal aneuploidy.
• Oocyte doners
