In vitro fertilization - a procedure which is not far from static, and improves physicians each year. All the time there are new products, methods, techniques. Although many have even forgotten that the first test-tube baby was born in 1978. It was a girl Louise Joy Brown (her mother was 9 years old could not get pregnant).
Today she lives in the UK, she has a husband and two beautiful children, who were born naturally. And the very fact of her life is the best proof that IVF - that hope and salvation.
subtleties of protocol
But as you know, before you decide on IVF treatments, women try their best to study the information in this area. Our portal "Gingerbread Man" happy to help in this: we have been told how to prepare for the procedure and what to look for. Not paid attention to and the types of protocols. Today let's talk about one of them in detail.
short protocol
So, your physician has chosen a short report: what it means and what to prepare?
It is known that IVF protocol - is the introduction of hormones that stimulate the ovaries, which are responsible for the maturation of eggs.
A short protocol in IVF usually starts on day 3-5 and cycle ends after 12-15 days. From a long period it differs only application and drug doses. On day 3, the woman begins to make themselves injections of hormonal drugs, which will allow a variety of mature eggs within the follicles (superovulation). With this protocol, it is a frequent occurrence, but the number of cells affects their quality, uniformity, completeness, maturity. To get the good stuff, you need to choose the right scheme superovulation.
In some cases, the assigned short protocol
• women with normal ovaries;
• if unsuccessful attempts in long protocols;
• If a woman who dreams of a child for more than 35 years (up to 30 years usually recommend long protocol).
According to statistics, the short protocol, compared with the long has the following advantages:
• better tolerated by patients;
• fewer side effects;
• meets lower incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (occurs when a long protocol of non-compliance with physician individual approach, exceeding the dose of stimulant medication).
In the event of this phenomenon is formed by more than 20 follicles, but at the same time, the patient thickened blood, vascular permeability changes, capillaries, there is excessive swelling of the various tissues.
Reviews of Women on the long protocol is different. For example, Lisa, who has twice held the long protocol, is ready to try and short, considering that this is the best opportunity to reduce suffering. And my other friends who also tried his luck in IVF, believe that this type of medications the body is under stress crazy. Therefore prefer a gradual load.
But be that as it may, when making decisions in the choice of protocol, be sure to listen to the opinion of the physician: Only he is able to efficiently and correctly assess the state of your health and all risks.
