What is microchip IVF treatment?

Despite all their efforts, in vitro fertilization treatment, which is hoped for by couples who could not have babies, and who could not achieve their wishes despite using other assisted reproductive methods, shows itself once again with a new innovation every day.

In vitro fertilization is considered to be more successful when compared to other assisted reproductive methods. With the use of microfluidic chip technology in IVF treatment, a new era was signed. Thanks to this new method, even though it has not become fully widespread in all in vitro fertilization centers that perform IVF, it is thought that it will start to be applied in every center with the increase in pregnancy rates obtained with this method and as a result of the birth of healthy babies.

With the effect of couples’ desire to have a child and the fact that all phases of this treatment are stressful for couples, it will not be difficult to choose the application of this new method.

What are the advantages of microchip IVF treatment?

The most important advantage of this new method is that it increases the rate of pregnancy in couples in case of male infertility and if the sperm amount of the man is less than necessary.

If couples who want to achieve pregnancy with in vitro fertilization treatment because of such problems want to have this method applied, the expected success rate will be higher.

With microchip IVF treatment, both the realization of pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby are achieved more easily. In terms of couples who want to have a baby from IVF treatment, it is accepted that this method will be a great support in accordance with today’s technology.

How is microchip IVF treatment applied?

During the IVF treatment, many methods are tried to be developed for the candidates who cannot get pregnant naturally or with other assisted reproductive methods to have a baby. In the treatment of in vitro fertilization with microchip, a treatment that stimulates the ovaries is first applied to the woman in order to increase the number of eggs. Afterwards, various hormonal drugs are applied to the expectant mother. In this way, it is possible to provide the desired amount of eggs within 1 month.

These egg cells are fertilized with sperm cells taken from the father-to-be under laboratory conditions. In this way, candidates are tried to achieve pregnancy. These steps are the same steps that were performed in the classical IVF treatment. However, if quality embryos are not selected among the embryos, the chance of obtaining pregnancy will decrease.

In microchip IVF treatment, the chance of pregnancy increases with high-quality embryos. Thanks to the developed sperm chips, the micro-channels created by the hormones have been tried to be compared with the body’s own functioning. Just like a filter, healthy and high quality sperm are distinguished one by one from the others. These healthy sperm in the micro-channels are collected in a different area. After the fertilization of the sperms, which have been differentiated by the microinjection method, with the egg cell, the chances of the candidates who want to become mothers and fathers increase.
