Embryo Freezing Riga

As a result of IVF and ICSI treatments, there are often more embryos obtained than can be transferred into the uterus at a time.The rest of the embryos of good quality can be frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen (kryo-preservation) for a long period of time. The freezing of embryos enables subsequent attempts at pregnancy without a new hormonal stimulation.Before the transfer of the frozen embryos the endometrium of the uterus is increased by oral medication.The frozen embryos are thawed the day before the planned embryo transfer. Not all embryos survive the freezing and thawing process and it is possible that embryo transfer will not take place.The survival rate of embryos frozen at our clinic is 60-70%. It is also possible to freeze sperm for subsequent use. In AVA CLINIC also actively using vitrification as a new method of embryos and genetic material freezing. Vitrification - a special, extra-fast method of oocytes and embryos cryopreservation, which almost completely excludes the formation of ice crystals and minimize the damage of cells. So far as the embryo consists of water for 95%, during slow freezing microscopic crystals of ice are formed in cells, which can injure the cells of embryos, and due to its high speed of freezing water immediately turns into a gelatinous state, which excludes the possibility of damage to most cells.

ExaminationsFirst consultationAt your first appointment with our doctor together you will go through all factors affecting conception as well as all your prior examinations or treatments. Our doctor will explain all the possible treatment options and the likelihood of conception after various treatments. The needs of each client are individually evaluated during the consultation session. If any further investigations are needed, a tailored schedule is planned to best meet the client’s expectations. Examinations prior to treatment.Examinations prior to the treatment aim at explaining the reasons why a natural conception does not occur. It is important to find the factors behind infertility, and the results determine the course of treatment.It is advisable to bring any previous results to the consultation session since they are all taken into account and new examinations will be carried out if necessary. The investigations need not to take a long time and the treatment can begin quite soon if the client so wishes.Female testsA doctor will plan an individually tailored schedule of examination depending on received data. The development and release of a female egg from the ovaries, determining whether the fallopian tubes are open and the structure of the uterus are important factors that need to be examined. Ultrasound is used to detect any abnormalities in the uterus, and this can often be done at the first appointment.Sometimes we need to do hysteroscopy, the visualization of the uterine cavity, and only very rarely laparoscopy, the visualization of the abdominal cavity. The maturing of eggs can also be detected with ultrasound, which is timed according to the estimated day of egg release during the menstrual cycle. The so-called SSG ultrasound can help determine whether the fallopian tubes are open.A small amount of liquid is injected though the cervix and the passage of the fluid into the uterus and through the fallopian tubes is monitored.

A woman who does not have any contraindication for pregnancy or delivery can opt for fertilization treatment with donated eggs.The results of fertilization treatment with donated eggs are extremely good. Donated eggs enable the conception and the birth of a healthy child in many families when this is no longer possible with the woman’s own eggs. We choose such donor for recipient whose physical features, such as the colour of hair and eyes, body build match those of the recipient.The egg donation program of the AVA clinics do not share the eggs, the recipient is given all the eggs that her chosen donor produces during one treatment cycle. The number of eggs varies depending on the donor’s reaction to the stimulation. The donated eggs are fertilized with the partner’s sperm, either fresh or frozen. We screen our egg donors carefully. They are healthy women aged 18-34, who voluntarily offer their help to grant the chance of motherhood to anonymous recipients.Most of our donors are mothers themselves and wish to share that experience with those who desire it. In many cases the donors have witnessed the grief caused by infertility among family and friends. In the process of choosing donors, the psychologists of our clinic meet and discuss with the possible donors. All our donors have been tested for any abnormalities in their chromosomes, HIV, contagious hepatitis as well as the most common sexually transmitted diseases and also have been examined by narcologist.The treatment with donated eggs is an option to conceive if a woman has failed to get pregnant with her own eggs. Fertilization with donated eggs is a big step for couples to take, and to come to terms with the idea often requires time and professional help. Therefore we recommend all of our recipient couples to discuss the issue with either our specialists at the clinic.Treatment using donor ovum provides opportunity to become pregnant if it has proved not possible by of own ovum of patient.
