#if frozen embryos are children then so are sperm

[christinareedy-love]

If frozen embryos are children, then doesn't that also mean sperm are children? So, every single dirty republikkkan that masturbates into a sock or whatever, is also a child murderer.

[mariacallous]

In October, Melissa began an in vitro fertilization cycle. A resident of Birmingham, Alabama, her fertility journey to that point had been not just difficult, but harrowing—earlier that year, she had nearly bled to death during a procedure to resolve a second-trimester miscarriage. When the IVF process yielded just a single viable embryo, she had it frozen, and a few months later started another cycle. “It’s very easy to lose an embryo,” she says. “This is such a delicate process.”

Melissa has a daughter, born when she was younger, but IVF represents her best and last chance to grow her family. After the Alabama Supreme Court ruled last week that embryos are children, all of that is now on hold.

WIRED spoke with three women directly affected by the Alabama Supreme Court’s February 16 ruling, which stated that embryos are “unborn children … without exception based on developmental stage, physical location, or any other ancillary characteristics.” Fearing legal liability given the broad scope of the language, several of the state’s most prominent IVF providers—including the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Alabama Fertility, and the Center for Reproductive Medicine at Mobile Infirmary—have paused treatments. That means patients like Melissa, who is going by a pseudonym given the sensitivity of the topic, are stuck in limbo, and in some cases running out of options.

“I’m rapidly losing time,” says Melissa. The 37-year-old has an autoimmune disorder that she needs to plan IVF cycles around; her ovarian reserves are low enough that her doctors say she has a window of a month, maybe two, to try again. If the ruling holds for much longer, she may not have another chance.

During IVF, patients take hormone-stimulating medications to trigger their ovaries to release mature eggs. The eggs are then retrieved with a small needle and fertilized with sperm in a lab to form embryos. Sometimes a successful IVF cycle can result in several embryos, but doctors typically transfer just one or two into the uterus at a time. Success isn’t promised; about one in three embryo transfers results in pregnancy.

That makes Melissa’s situation especially urgent. There’s no guarantee that her one embryo will result in a birth. But the ruling has disrupted the lives of women at every stage of treatment.

Lochrane Chase started IVF in August, after nearly a year of trying to get pregnant and using less intrusive fertility treatments, such as ovarian stimulation. The 36-year-old Birmingham native was able to freeze and store over two dozen embryos, of which several appeared viable after genetic screening. An embryo transfer in October resulted in a pregnancy, but Lochrane miscarried a few days later. “It was the saddest I’ve ever been in my life,” she says. She tried again in December; again, she miscarried.

Before another scheduled transfer in January, her doctor noticed fluid in her uterine lining; Lochrane underwent surgery in mid-February to address the issue, and scheduled another embryo transfer for March 18. Despite the uncertainty caused by the ruling, she has started taking the necessary hormones anyway in hopes that the situation resolves by then. If not, the medications would have been for nothing, and she’ll be left with no way forward.

That’s due in part to the severity of the new restrictions on embryos in Alabama. Both Melissa and Lochrane looked into getting treatment out of state as soon as the ruling came down, but quickly found that was an unworkable solution. Companies that transport embryos have paused shipping out of the state while assessing the legal risks associated with the ruling. In a statement emailed to WIRED, a representative from the University of Alabama at Birmingham said the health system is working to identify a company that is willing and able to transport their embryos to another facility as soon as possible: “It is our goal to help patients who are interested in this option do so safely, but—at this time—there are no options available.”

Even if patients could transport their embryos, IVF treatment often requires close proximity with the health care provider, making it infeasible for many.

“You have to do blood work every three days. You have to do ultrasounds. To travel to go do that, it’s almost impossible,” says Melissa. Within 24 hours of finding out that her treatment would be affected, Lochrane had made contact with clinics in Boston, Atlanta, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina—conversations that ended when embryo transportation shut down.

The impact is one of lost time and opportunity, but also of cost. Lochrane says she and her husband have spent $50,000 on fertility treatments so far. Each transfer costs $3,500; each round of medication another $500 or so. For Paula, a 38-year-old Birmingham resident, the bulk of her expenses are carried by Progyny, a fertility insurance company that she has access to through her husband’s job.

Paula, who also asked to use a pseudonym, has already undergone one embryo transfer, in April of last year. It resulted in a miscarriage. She now has three frozen embryos left, and had gotten authorization from Progyny earlier this year to attempt another transfer. That authorization has a three-month window, which expires on March 28. “The concern is, if we don’t do it before March 28, will our insurance do another authorization for us, because we live in Alabama?” she says. “It’s been very stressful. My blood pressure has been through the roof.”

In an emailed statement to WIRED, Progyny CEO Pete Anevski said that health care providers “can shift the authorization as needed,” and that the company “will continue to support its member patients and its network providers in Alabama.”

That support can only go so far, though, as long as the Alabama Supreme Court ruling persists. While all three women have frozen embryos, even that practice may be at risk. One of the many uncertainties of the ruling is whether freezing of embryos will be able to continue. “The cryopreservation of fertilized eggs is an essential component of infertility care at this point, and that whole enterprise is very much threatened,” says Sean Tipton, chief advocacy and policy officer at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, a professional organization that represents fertility specialists. Using frozen embryos for IVF is not only safe but has a higher success rate than fresh embryos.

It’s also unclear how the ruling will impact the egg retrieval process. About five to six days after fertilization, an early-stage embryo, called a blastocyst, forms. But not every fertilized egg goes on to develop into an embryo. This happens naturally, as well as in IVF labs. Under the Alabama ruling, this scenario could also open up a clinic to a potential lawsuit. “With this legal ruling, the question is, if an embryo fails to develop, will these health care providers be found liable for wrongful death or murder or manslaughter?” says Betsy Campbell, chief engagement officer at Resolve, an infertility nonprofit association based in McLean, Virginia.

In a Facebook post, Alabama Fertility Specialists said it is putting new IVF treatments on hold “due to the legal risk to our clinic and our embryologists,” and is contacting affected patients.

In a statement emailed to WIRED, the University of Alabama at Birmingham said its Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility is pausing egg fertilization and embryo development because of “the potential that our patients and our physicians could be prosecuted criminally or face punitive damages for following the standard of care for IVF treatments.”

The patients whom WIRED spoke with all shared a sense of crushing uncertainty and anger.

“People don’t understand that when you’re put in a position to make decisions like [IVF treatment], you don’t make it lightly,” says Melissa. “That it sticks with you forever. That it changes you. To have laws that prevent you from making decisions that—as gut-wrenching as they are, as hard as they are—that you can’t make them for the health of your family, it’s an indescribable feeling.”

Even Lochrane, a lifelong Alabama resident, says that the ruling has made her seriously consider leaving. “I feel so powerless in this state,” she says. Lochrane is on the board of local nonprofits, serves as a deacon in her church, and is deeply involved with numerous civic organizations. Her family is here, as are her friends. Still, she says, the last week has dramatically shifted her perspective. “If I could move to Boston and have an opportunity to have a family there but not in Birmingham,” she says, “I would be at the airport now.”

IVF providers, patients, and advocates are hoping that the Alabama legislature could allow IVF to continue in the state. Last week, Alabama House minority leader Anthony Daniels, a Democrat, introduced a bill that would establish that a “fertilized human egg or human embryo that exists outside of a human uterus is not considered an unborn child or human being” under state law. Republican lawmakers are also expected to introduce similar legislation soon.

“We’re hopeful that there will be a legislative fix,” Campbell says. How long that fix takes, though, will have life-altering consequences for many Alabama IVF patients. And if it doesn’t materialize, most will be left with no options at all.

“We have healthy embryos,” says Lochrane. “We just want to be able to have children.”

BRF Reading - 18th of August, 2022

This is speculation only

Cards drawn on the 18th of August, 2022

Question: Is Harry Archie's biological father?

Interpretation: No.

Card One: The King of Swords. This is the same card I pulled in a prior reading when I asked if Harry was sterile. The meaning here is the same as it was in the reading.

Swords is the least fertile of the tarot cards. When you look for fertility in the tarot, the most fertile sign is water, and there is no water in this picture. The only way it appears is as snow on the mountains, indicating that Harry's fertility is frozen, locked up (as water is locked up in ice), and can not be accessed naturally.

The landscape of this card is completely barren. There is nothing green and growing anywhere; the ground is stone, the mountains are bare. The only hint of water/growth/fertility is the snow on the mountains, something that is obtained by hard effort (climbing the mountain) and then has to be changed (melted into water) before it can nourish life. All this imagery says to be that Harry is barren, sterile, he can not father children naturally. Swords are the suit for medical procedures, so if Harry was to father a child it would have to be through medical intervention, such as IVF.

If Archie was the result of a natural pregnancy, as we were led to believe, then Harry can not be the father because of his sterility issues (as he said himself, he is 'shooting blanks').

Card Two: The Moon. The card of illusions, lies, deceptions, half truths, and things not being as they appear. This says, very clearly, that Harry's biological fatherhood with respect to Archie is an illusion. Things are not as they appear. Taken together with the sterility indicated by the first card, this says at best that Archie was conceived using IVF and implanted into Meghan, and at worst that Harry is not the father at all. In between lies the area of surrogacy and whose sperm was used for the embryo that became Archie.

This card could also be referring to the bigger idea of Harry as a father in general and saying that is the illusion, that there are no kids and Harry as a father simply does not exist (instead of there being kids and Harry not being their biological father). The clear message here is that Harry as the biological father of Archie involves deceit/illusions/half-truths/deception. It is not the truth and we have to look deeper if we want to discover the truth.

Card Three: The Seven of Pentacles. This is my card for dodgy sex acts and divided allegiances. I'm not sure if telling everyone that you have fathered a child when you have not comes under dodgy sex acts (in a wider sense) or not.

The picture on the card shows Queen Pasiphae giving Daedalus the craftsman money, so that he could make her a wooden cow in which she could be concealed so she could mate with a white bull that her husband was supposed to sacrifice to Poseidon, but didn't. The offspring of that coupling was the minotaur. This story says to me that Meghan, like Queen Pasiphae, carried a child that was not the child of her husband, either by herself or using a surrogate (I believe she used a surrogate but I am trying to be open to all possibilities here).

It also tells me that like Queen Pasiphae, Meghan needed assistance to fall pregnant, and she paid money for that assistance. The assistance was most likely to be IVF (unless Meghan needs to be dressed as a cow before Harry can do the deed with her, and I am not going down that line of speculation). Surrogacy can be indicated, as Queen Pasiphae was not a cow but needed to appear as one to ger a child, similarly Meghan could have not carried the baby but needed to appear as if she had.

Queen Pasiphae deceived her husband to couple with the white bull and conceive the Minotaur, who she then passed off as her husband's child during the pregnancy (the truth came out after the birth). Similarly, Meghan could have passed off the biological child of another man as Harry's child, with perhaps the truth coming out after the birth (blood tests come to mind for some reason, as does the common tests done on newborns).

Traditionally, the Seven of Pentacles is about looking at where you have invested your time and seeing if the result is worth it. Perhaps someone is deciding whether it is worth it to keep going with the deception over Harry's biological fatherhood of Archie, or whether it is better to tell the truth.

Underlying Energy: Death. This is an ending, a change that is permanent, a transformation that can not be reversed. Quite literally, the Death card is saying that the concept of Harry being the biological father of any child is not going to happen. It is a 'No' to that question. The concept is dead, even if it is not yet buried.

The Death card read as a card of change and transformation says that something about Harry's supposed biological fatherhood of Archie has ended or permanently changed. It lies directly underneath the Moon card, the illusion/deceptions card, so maybe the deception of 'Harry as a father' is going to change or transform somehow. Death can be about letting go and putting the past behind you, so maybe it is time for Harry to let go of the illusion of being Archie's father and accept that he can not have children.

The Death card is the card for Scorpio, and Prince Charles is a sun sign Scorpio, so he may be involved in this ending or transformation in some way.

Conclusion: With all the negative cards in the reading, the chance of Harry being the biological father of Archie in a naturally conceived pregnancy is almost nil. Without miracles, it becomes a definite no. Harry has fertility issues that prevent him becoming a father naturally. He needs medical assistance to be able to father children, and even then success is not guaranteed.

The idea that Harry is the biological father of Archie is part of a deception, lie, or illusion. That illusion could be that the pregnancy was natural (and not medically assisted), and/or the illusion could be that Harry is the biological father of Archie. There are indications that Meghan used another father for the child, being unfaithful to her husband. The underlying energy, Death, also says that Harry is not the biological father of Archie.

There may be some sort of transformation or change happening around the idea of Harry as the biological father of Archie, and Prince Charles could possibly be involved in this change in sone way (which could be as simple as Charles saying to Harry that he is not supporting children who are not proven to have Harry as their biological father, or something like that, especially in a divorce situation).

Major Arcana Cards: The Moon and Death. These are placed one below each other in the reading, giving it a spine and a dominant energy of lies, deceit, and illusions sitting on top of a situation that has no life in it. The Death card is coming across strongly as a metaphorical death and only a small it as a transformation. So a death (of the idea of fatherhood) being covered over by lies, deceptions and illusions.

The other very strong energy in this reading is the King of Swords. I am getting a powerful message that Harry is barren, he has always been barren, and even with medical assistance he has only a very slim chance of being able to father children - less than 10%. There is no way known to medical science (yet) of 'unlocking' his sperm and letting them be able to do their job, either naturally or in a laboratory.

Christian conservative group opposes IVF for the most bizarre reason yet

The anti-LGBTQ+ group Family Research Council (FRC) opposes in vitro fertilization (IVF), a conception method responsible for roughly 2.3% of all infants born in the U.S. and often used by LGBTQ+ couples, because IVF clinics use pornography to get sperm from donors. “Pornography is an integral part of the IVF process. And the husband’s use of pornography is typically how sperm was obtained. That’s not good for a marriage. We know that pornography goes against what God tells us about the dignity of men and women in a marriage,” said Mary Szoch, director of the FRC’s Center for Human Dignity (the FRC’s anti-abortion division), in a recent video. Related A couple’s fight over frozen embryos could upend IVF access in Texas The case is no doubt part of the predicted “domino effect” stemming from the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling declaring embryos as legal children. Married heterosexual couples who regularly view pornography report higher levels of relationship dissatisfaction and are more likely to get divorced, according to a 2020 study. However, the study couldn’t show which way the causation ran. That is, it’s not clear if porn causes relationship dissatisfaction or if dissatisfied partners are more likely to view porn. LGBTQ+ news you can rely on Keep track of the ongoing battle against bias and for equality with our newsletter. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Of course, the FRC’s opposition to IVF is also shared by numerous Republican legislators who view fertilized embryos as living people and who view the discarding of such embryos as a form of murder. IVF, as it’s performed today, requires the creation of multiple fertilized embryos to increase the chances that at least one will lead to a pregnancy. To date, three states — Missouri, Alabama, and Georgia — have laws that grant personhood to fertilized embryos. Arizona enacted a law granting those rights as well, but it’s currently blocked. A dozen other states have introduced legislation this year that would legally declare embryos as people. IVF is also commonly used by same-sex couples to conceive children. As such, efforts to restrict IVF access particularly harm LGBTQ+ people who want to become parents. Mary Szoch of the Family Research Council is really digging deep to rationalize the organization's opposition to IVF: "Pornography is an integral part of the IVF process … That's not good for a marriage." pic.twitter.com/DQKGr2sP5I— Right Wing Watch (@RightWingWatch) May 22, 2024 While the FRC describes itself as a church and, previously, as an educational non-profit, it’s foremost an anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-abortion organization, designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. It was founded in 1981 by James Dobson, a longtime homophobe who also founded Focus on the Family (FOF), the largest theocratic-right organization in the United States. Both FOF and FRC oppose same-sex marriage and sex education in schools (except “abstinence-only”), support so-called conversion therapy, and generally oppose anything that promotes the so-called “homosexual agenda” — even concepts of tolerance and diversity which, according to Dobson, are “buzzwords for homosexual advocacy.” According to Dobson, the goals of this homosexual movement include “universal acceptance of the gay lifestyle, the discrediting of Scriptures that condemn homosexuality, muzzling of the clergy and Christian media, granting special privileges and rights in the law, overturning laws prohibiting pedophilia, indoctrination of children and future generations through public education, and securing all the legal benefits of marriage for any two or more people who claim to have homosexual tendencies.” Peter Sprigg, FRC’s Senior Researcher for Policy Studies, says that same-sex sexuality should be legislated and declared illegal and that “criminal sanctions against homosexual behavior” should be enforced.

Fertility Preservation in Hyderabad: Everything Explained by the Fertility Specialists at MotherToBe

In recent years, Fertility Preservation in Hyderabad has become an important option for individuals and couples who wish to delay childbearing due to medical, personal, or professional reasons. At MotherToBe, a premier fertility center in Hyderabad, our team of experienced specialists provides comprehensive fertility preservation services tailored to meet your specific needs. Here, we explain everything you need to know about fertility preservation, the techniques available, and how we can help you make informed decisions about your reproductive future.

What is Fertility Preservation?

Fertility Preservation in Hyderabad involves safeguarding your eggs, sperm, or reproductive tissues so that you can have biological children in the future. This option is particularly beneficial for individuals facing medical treatments that may impact their fertility, such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. It is also an excellent choice for those who wish to delay parenthood due to career aspirations, lifestyle choices, or personal reasons.

Who Can Benefit from Fertility Preservation in Hyderabad?

Cancer Patients: Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can adversely affect fertility. Preserving eggs, sperm, or embryos before starting treatment ensures that cancer patients have the option to have children in the future.

Individuals with Medical Conditions: Conditions such as autoimmune diseases, genetic disorders, or endometriosis can impact fertility. Preserving fertility before these conditions worsen can be a proactive step.

Delaying Parenthood: Many individuals and couples choose to delay parenthood to focus on their careers, education, or personal goals. Fertility preservation provides the assurance that they can start a family later in life.

Gender-Affirming Treatment: Transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy or surgery may opt for fertility preservation to have biological children in the future.

Lifestyle Choices: Those who are not ready to have children but want to ensure they have the option later can benefit from preserving their fertility.

Fertility Preservation Techniques

At MotherToBe, we offer several fertility preservation techniques, each tailored to meet individual needs:

Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation): This process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving them, and then freezing them for future use. Egg freezing is an excellent option for women who want to delay childbearing or those facing medical treatments that may affect their fertility.

Sperm Freezing (Semen Cryopreservation): Sperm freezing is a straightforward procedure where sperm samples are collected and frozen for future use. This technique is ideal for men undergoing treatments that may impact their fertility or those who wish to delay fatherhood.

Embryo Freezing: For couples, embryo freezing involves fertilizing the eggs with sperm in a lab to create embryos, which are then frozen for future use. This method can be particularly effective for those planning to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) at a later stage.

Ovarian Tissue Freezing: This experimental technique involves removing and freezing ovarian tissue, which can later be transplanted back into the body to restore fertility. This option is mainly considered for prepubescent girls or women who need immediate cancer treatment.

Testicular Tissue Freezing: Another experimental technique, testicular tissue freezing, is used for boys who have not yet reached puberty and cannot produce sperm. The tissue is preserved for future use when technologies advance.

The Fertility Preservation in Hyderabad Process at MotherToBe

1. Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation with our fertility specialists. During this session, we discuss your medical history, reasons for fertility preservation, and the best options for your situation.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your needs, we create a personalized treatment plan. This includes scheduling any necessary tests and determining the optimal time for egg or sperm retrieval.

The Path to Parenthood: Frozen Embryo Transfer and ICSI Treatment at Kiran Infertility Centre

Starting a family can be hard on couples who are infertile. They go through many emotions, and this journey is quite a challenge. Luckily, breakthroughs in the medical field have given hope to those struggling with conception. Among these methods are Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Both are offered by recognized establishments like Kiran Infertility Centre.

Understanding Frozen Embryo Transfer

FET has completely changed assisted reproduction by allowing embryos to be preserved until they are ready. In simplest terms, what happens is that previously frozen embryos are thawed and then transferred into the uterus at an appropriate time during a closely watched cycle. The procedure of Frozen Embryo Transfer at Kiran Infertility Centre is done with utmost precision so that chances of getting pregnant can be increased.

Navigating ICSI Treatment

ICSI treatment offers hope for men faced with infertility due to low sperm count or poor sperm quality among other problems related to normal fertilization process in couples. Specifically designed for such cases where there may be difficulty achieving fertilization conventionally because of male factor infertility or any other reasons like this.

It involves direct injection of one selected spermatozoon into each ovum obtained after ovarian stimulation to bypass all barriers limiting penetration through zona pellucida such as thickening associated with aging oocytes. This service is available only at theICSI Treatment in Hyderabad branch of Kiran Infertility Centre which deals exclusively with advanced reproductive options alongside individualized patient care during treatment periods.

Understanding Donor Sperm Treatment in Mumbai with Dr. Manjushree Kothekar

For couples struggling with male infertility issues like zero sperm count, using donor sperm can enable parenthood. Especially when other assisted reproductive techniques fail. But the choice entails deep social, ethical and emotional considerations. This is where an empathetic fertility specialist provides invaluable support.

Meet Dr. Manjushree Kothekar, a leading IVF specialist practising in Mumbai for over 12 years. With extensive experience in fertility procedures like IUI, IVF, ICSI and donor gametes - she is the go-to expert for insightful guidance on sperm donation.

Why Opt for Donor Sperm Treatment?

Donor sperm may be recommended when:

The male has nil sperm count or too few viable sperm

There are severe abnormalities or genetic issues affecting sperm

Other fertility treatments have repeatedly failed

In case of single mothers by choice and same-sex couples

However, the choice of using another man's sperm to conceive is sensitive and needs understanding on both sides. This is why counselling sessions with an empathetic fertility doctor are so important.

What Does Donor Sperm Treatment Involve?

The process starts on day 2 of the female partner's menstrual cycle. Dr. Manjushree administers medication to stimulate follicle growth and development. Once the follicles reach maturity, donor sperm is introduced.

The sperm sample is acquired from a reputed sperm bank after rigorous testing. The frozen sperm is thawed and inserted directly into the uterus using a painless IUI or intrauterine insemination procedure.

Two weeks post insemination, a blood test confirms if conception was successful. If you conceive, pregnancy care and monitoring follow as usual. The chance of success depends on the woman’s ovarian reserve and uterine receptivity.

Why Choose Dr. Manjushree Kothekar?

With over nine years focused exclusively on IVF treatment, Dr. Manjushree Kothekar is among Mumbai's most respected fertility specialists.

Her experience spans a wide range of assisted reproductive techniques including IUI, IVF, ICSI, embryo and gamete donations. Her clinic also invests in cutting-edge IVF infrastructure for strategic interventions.

However, it is Dr. Manjushree's warmth and compassion that patients highlight the most. Her detailed consultations, ethical mindset and commitment create a safe space for intended parents. This emotional anchoring enables couples to make well-considered, empowered decisions on sensitive topics like sperm donation.

Make an Empowered Decision with Insider Tips

Dr. Manjushree shares indispensable guidance for intended parents considering donor sperm treatment:

Seek counselling and evaluate your readiness: Counselling creates awareness and sets realistic expectations about social, ethical and emotional aspects. This enables empowered decision-making.

Understand legal rights of donor vs parents: The donor legally relinquishes all rights over the child. As legal parents, you have complete parental rights. Knowing this prevents future anxieties.

Emphasize medical safety: Reputed sperm banks rigorously screen donors and test samples for diseases before freezing. This minimizes risks for all parties.

Disclose to your child appropriately: While disclosure is personal, children have a right to know their genetic history. Expert guidance helps determine suitable times and approaches for the same.

Take the First Step towards Parenthood

If you have weighed all options and feel ready to consider donor sperm treatment, the right guidance can make all the difference. By combining her clinical expertise with ethical, empathetic counselling, Dr. Manjushree enables intended parents to make empowered, well-considered decisions.

Egg Freezing: Is It a Good Option for You?

Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, is a fertility preservation technique that involves extracting eggs from a woman's body and freezing them for later use. This can be a good option for women who want to delay pregnancy until later in life, or who are concerned about their fertility due to medical conditions or cancer treatment. Reasons to consider egg freezing There are many reasons why women might choose to freeze their eggs, including:

 Age: Fertility declines with age, especially after the age of 35. Egg freezing can allow women to preserve their eggs at a younger age, when they are of higher quality. 

Medical conditions: Some medical conditions, such as endometriosis, PCOS, and cancer, can affect fertility. Egg freezing can be an option for women with these conditions who want to preserve their ability to have children in the future.

Cancer treatment: Many cancer treatments can damage or destroy eggs. Egg freezing can allow women to preserve their eggs before starting cancer treatment, so that they can still have children after treatment is complete.

Career: Some women may want to delay pregnancy until they are more established in their careers. Egg freezing can give them the option to do so without worrying about their fertility declining.

Relationship status: Some women may not be ready to have children with a partner yet, but they want to have the option to do so in the future. Egg freezing can give them that peace of mind. 

What to expect from egg freezing 

The egg freezing process typically takes several weeks. It begins with a fertility evaluation, which includes blood tests and ultrasound to assess your ovarian reserve (the number and quality of your eggs). If you are a good candidate for egg freezing, you will start taking fertility medications to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Once your eggs are mature, they will be retrieved during a minor surgical procedure. The eggs will then be frozen and stored until you are ready to use them. When you are ready to get pregnant, your frozen eggs will be thawed and fertilized with sperm. The resulting embryos will then be transferred to your uterus. The success rate of egg freezing depends on a number of factors, including your age and the quality of your eggs. However, studies have shown that women who freeze their eggs before the age of 35 have a good chance of successful pregnancy.

 Is egg freezing right for you?

If you are considering egg freezing, it is important to talk to a fertility specialist to discuss your individual needs and goals. They can help you determine if egg freezing is a good option for you and answer any questions you have about the process. 

Here are some things to consider when deciding if egg freezing is right for you:

Your age: Fertility declines with age, so the earlier you freeze your eggs, the better. Your medical

history: If you have any medical conditions that could affect your fertility, egg freezing may be a good option for you.

Your career and relationship goals: If you want to delay pregnancy until you are more established in your career or until you have found a partner, egg freezing can give you the flexibility to do so. 

The cost: Egg freezing can be expensive, so it is important to factor in the cost of the procedure and storage fees. If you are unsure whether or not egg freezing is right for you, talk to a fertility specialist. They can help you weigh the pros and cons and make the best decision for your individual needs.

When planning infertility procedures, couples must limit complex exercises and opt for light activities such as yoga, walking, or swimming under proper supervision.

6. Rest: A fertility expert suggests that couples get plenty of rest, which helps regulate melatonin levels and develop healthy follicles for fertility treatment.

Exploring the Ethics of In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) are two common fertility treatments that have helped countless couples around the world conceive children. These treatments are available at various fertility clinics and hospitals, including Motherhood IVF Hospital in Hebbal and HRBR, which offer a range of infertility treatments.

While IVF and IUI have helped many couples realize their dream of having a child, they also raise ethical concerns that must be considered. The ethical implications of these treatments are complex and multi-faceted, and they require a careful examination of the procedures involved, as well as the social and cultural context in which they are practiced.

One of the key ethical concerns associated with IVF and IUI is the use of reproductive technologies to manipulate human reproduction. IVF involves fertilizing an egg outside the body and implanting it in the uterus, while IUI involves placing sperm directly into the uterus to facilitate fertilization. These procedures may be seen by some as an intrusion into the natural processes of human reproduction.

Another ethical concern is the cost of these treatments. IVF and IUI can be expensive, and not all couples can afford them. This raises the question of whether access to reproductive technologies should be considered a basic human right, and if so, how can it be made more affordable for those who need it?

There is also the issue of multiple births, which can occur when more than one embryo is implanted in the uterus during IVF. While multiple births may be desired by some couples, they can also increase the risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth, both for the mother and the children. This raises questions about the responsibility of IVF doctors in Hebbal and HRBR to ensure that the number of embryos implanted is safe for both mother and child.

Furthermore, IVF and IUI treatments can lead to ethical issues around the disposition of unused embryos. Many couples who undergo IVF produce more embryos than they need, and these embryos can be frozen for future use or donated to other couples. However, this raises questions about the status of these embryos and the ethical implications of discarding them.

In conclusion, IVF and IUI treatments in HRBR have helped many couples conceive children, but they also raise important ethical concerns that must be carefully considered. These concerns include the use of reproductive technologies to manipulate human reproduction, the cost of these treatments, the risks associated with multiple births, and the disposition of unused embryos. As such, it is essential for IVF doctors and fertility clinics to practice these treatments in a manner that is ethically responsible and sensitive to the needs and values of the patients they serve.

Additionally, they advise all IVF-undergoing women to limit their weekly running to no more than 15 kilometers. Running can negatively affect the womb’s lining and divert blood away from the womb to other organs and muscles when the reproductive system most needs it, making it more disruptive to fertility than any other kind of exercise.

If you’re an avid runner, safely replace your long runs with:

light jogging

hiking

the elliptical

spinning

This Medical advancement in fertility preservation ihas been a boon for childless couples. A process that rapidly cools & maintains gametes and embryos at cryogenic temperature without damaging the fine cell structure, it has helped many couples to overcome the challenges of infertility, ageing, and medical obstacles to fertility. 

There are situations where parenthood has to be deferred to offer the best suitable environment for the family. Situations like cancer requiring radiation or chemotherapy, surgical removal of the ovaries or/and fallopian tubes are situations wherein Gamete or Embryo freezing is a veritable boon.

What exactly is Cryo-preservation?

1. Fertility Preservation essentially is the preservation of eggs, sperm and embryos

3. Preservation of such substances means stopping the multiplication and maturation of cells 

4. Such biological materials are highly sensitive to environmental changes and any contamination that damages their potency

5. Such material requires a special freezing technique to prevent the growth & multiplication of cells so that they can resume multiplication after return to room  temperature by another careful process of thawing

6. Any fluctuation in maintaining the preservation means changes in structures and functions that may damage functionality and prevent conception. An example is ice crystal formation within cells during freezing which damages the structure.

That is the reason, special Cryopreservation technology is employed, wherein rapid cooling is followed by suspending in liquid nitrogen at -196 deg centigrade

At cryogenic temperatures (lower than –150°C), biological materials stop their activities and metabolism and are capable of restoring growth with minimal changes after thawing to normal physiological temperatures.

Fertility preservation for women:

Breast and other cancers and ageing, personal as well as professional priorities are the most common reasons for women to consider fertility preservation.  Women’s eggs also diminish in quantity and quality with age. Freezing eggs or embryos are options that can help for having healthy children in the future. Other reasons for delaying Childbearing:

Medical Conditions: autoimmune diseases, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation 

Surgery of the Pelvic Area

Other Conditions: The women with poor ovarian reserve and Turner syndrome

When & What of Fertility Preservation for Men:

Sperm cryopreservation is most widely accepted in men in the following cases.

In men with poor semen quality and those who may not be available at the time of  IVF, semen cryopreservation is recommended.

Surgical sperm collection from the testicle and oocyte aspiration may not coincide during IVF, therefore, surgical sperm retrieval and cryopreservation are recommended before the initiation of ovarian stimulation.

Medical Conditions: like systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, diabetes mellitus and cytotoxic therapy for non-cancer conditions

Genetic Condition: Klinefelter’s syndrome is a genetic condition causing azoospermia in about 90% of affected males.

Nearing andropause & yet not completed family cases, sperm cryopreservation at an earlier age is a feasible option to safeguard fertility.

Injury to the spinal cord.

Cryopreservation: technique ahead of time?

Cryopreservation is a technique that is often used to freeze and then thaw eggs, embryos or sperm for In vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.

Such type of sperm may also be used in IUI (intrauterine insemination) treatment cycles. With the availability of frozen embryos, a woman doesn’t need to go for stimulation by fertility drugs during IVF treatment.

Does embryo cryopreservation offer any additional benefits?

Definitely yes. Multiple eggs are obtained through injections of hormones. After using the most deserving egg for fertilization, the embryos so formed can be frozen and can be used for frozentransfer cycles in the  IVF process.

Embryos may be cryopreserved at any stage between day 1 and day 5, after egg retrieval. However, not all embryos are the right candidates for cryopreservation.

Experience has shown that high-quality embryos are far more able to survive and develop further  than others.

Frozen embryos further add up to the success of IVF.

How invasive is the procedure, and how risky?

The process of retrieving eggs is the same as the first step of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and is performed under general anaesthesia. The woman receives a few hormone injections that produce multiple eggs. After a week or two of hormone injections, the eggs are retrieved.

Is egg freezing an experimental therapy?

It has evolved and is no longer experimental now. Many hurdles have been conquered and the preservation of such biological material has been pretty much  perfected. 

how are viable embryos monitored?

It is primarily the job of the Embryologist.  At the time of freezing, we determine the potential viability and grading of the embryo. 

We understand more about this process now and with advancements in instrumentation, it is possible to study the size, shape, and rate of multiplication at length. By examining such parameters of embryos and key factors that could affect survival during the freezing process, we can select the best embryos for freezing.

The embryology lab is the heart of this cryopreservation process. At Yash IVF our protocol is to perform ICSI / IMSI  for fertilization of the egg with the sperm, grow to Day 5 (Blastocyst stage), freeze the embryos, thaw them and transfer 2 embryos at a time. We follow this protocol for almost all our patients and this is the key to our success rates being 70% plus.

[urvaracenter]

What Do You Need to Know About Blastocyst?

Embryos develop in a special place inside a woman called the fallopian tube. The embryo is very small, only a few cells in size. It starts off in a stage of rapid cell division and growth.

After around seven days it reaches its early eight-cell stage, which is when it begins to take shape. After that, the embryo becomes a ball of 16 to 32 cells. Then, after about two weeks, the embryo is formed. This is when it moves down the fallopian tubes towards the uterus. During this time, the cells continue to divide and form a hollow sphere of tissue. This stage of the developing embryo is known as the morula (or ‘ball’).

The next stage, the blastocyst, looks similar to an overripe watermelon.

How Are Blastocysts Used in Fertility Treatments?

There are two ways that a woman can get pregnant. One way is by having sex with her partner, while the other method involves using artificial means to produce an embryo. The latter option is known as infertility treatment.

If you want to have children, then you need to make sure that you're healthy. You should also take care of your body so that you can be able to conceive naturally. If you don't know how to do this, then you might consider getting help from a professional.

One type of infertility treatment is the use of frozen embryos. This is a procedure that is done in order to preserve your eggs. When you freeze them, they will remain in a dormant state for a few years. Once you are ready, you can thaw them out and try to get pregnant.

Another type of infertility treatment is the use of donor eggs. In this case, the egg is donated by someone who is not related to you. Then, it's transferred into your uterus. Finally, you'll carry a pregnancy until birth.

What Are the Benefits of Using Blastocysts in Fertility Treatments?

In order to have a baby, you need to be able to get pregnant. This is why many couples look into artificial insemination. Artificial insemination involves getting semen from the male partner and placing it inside the female partner.

However, this method isn't always successful. There are times when the sperm doesn't work properly, and that's where the use of frozen embryos comes in. Frozen embryos are created by taking an embryo and freezing it until later. Once it is thawed and placed back in the woman, it will grow into a fetus.

There are three main reasons that people choose to use frozen embryos. The first is that they don't want to wait for months before conceiving a child. The second reason is that they're looking for the best chance of success. And the third reason is that they simply prefer to freeze their own embryos rather than take them from someone else.

If you've been trying to conceive but haven't had any luck, then you might consider using frozen embryos in your next attempt at conception.

What Are the Risks Associated with Blastocyst Use in Fertility Treatments?

A Blastocysts in Fertility Treatments is a tiny cell that contains all the genetic information needed to form a human being. This means that it can be used to create embryos for IVF treatment. If you want to know more about this procedure, here are some facts you need to know.

There are two ways in which you can make use of these cells. The first way involves using them to produce an embryo. Once the embryo has been created, it can then be implanted into the mother's uterus. However, there are also other uses for the blastocysts. For example, they could be frozen and later thawed and transferred back to the woman's body.

Another option is to freeze the cells, and then transfer them to a donor egg in order to help the recipient have children.

Finally, you can simply destroy the cells after they are extracted from the patient.

The main advantage of this method is that it allows the patient to get pregnant without having to undergo the standard IVF process. However, this does come at a cost.

What Should Patients Know About Blastocyst Treatment in Lucknow?

You might be wondering how you can get pregnant when your body isn't ready to have babies yet. This is why many women choose to undergo a procedure known as the Blastocyst Transfer (BT). If you're considering this option, then you'll want to read on to learn more.

In order to understand what BT involves, you need to first realize that there are two different kinds of eggs. The first type of egg is the mature egg. Mature eggs are produced by older women who are past their childbearing years. On the other hand, immature eggs are created by younger women.

These eggs will then go through a process of fertilization. Once they've been successfully fertilized, these embryos will then develop into a new life. After the embryo has developed, it's referred to as a blastocyst.

When you decide to undergo the BT, doctors will remove your ovaries and implant the blastocysts inside of them. Then, the doctor will transfer the embryos back to your uterus.
