Fertility Treatment FAQ
We have no
waiting list for IVF at all. Most of our patients have their first initial
consultation with our fertility specialist within four weeks of first contact.
They usually begin treatment the following month.
Usually we
are able to organize your first visit to our clinic within just 14-28 days. All
required examinations can be performed during one menstruation cycle and after
that you can start the treatment.
The Nadya
Clinic receives clients from other cities, as well as from abroad. You can
visit either your local gynecologist or our partner clinic in London for ultrasound scans and to monitor
the success of hormone stimulation. Our embryologist will then send you further
instructions email. In this way, after your first visit to Kiev, you will only need to make an
appointment at the Nadiya clinic for the eggs retrieval and the embryo
transfer. Learn more about our service in Steps.
Kiev is only 2 and half hours away, but
we still recommend our patients to have at least one day break after their
embryo transfer. It is recommended to wait 24 hours before flying long haul.
No.
Pregnancies followed IVF treatment should not be any different to ordinary
pregnancies.
It's
recommended waiting for at least 2 - 3 months, before starting another IVF
treatment.
There isn't an age limit by the Ukrainian law. However, there are some of things that you
have to consider before deciding to take IVF treatment. The older you are when
you try IVF the smaller chance you have to get pregnant and the possibility of
having complications during pregnancy and birth is higher.
Yes, you can. Proof of cohabiting and neither of you can be married to someone else is
required.
The maximum number of embryos implanted will depend on your age, number of previous IVF attempts, and quality of embryos. It will be a joint decision between our embryologist and you.
Normaly up to 3 embryos can be implanted.
Blastocyst is 5 days old embryo that has around 70-100 cells. We now have the ability to
grow the embryos for seven days until they reach the blastocyst stage. For many
patients, these blastocysts may have a greater chance of implantation, permitting us to implant fewer embryos and lower the possibility of multiple births while, at the same time, increasing the chance of pregnancy.
Remaining embryos can be frozen with a specific technique. Later they can be implanted into your
womb without the hormonal stimulation.
Your embryos can remain frozen up to for 5 years for social reasons.
ICSI (Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an infertility treatment that can be used with conventional IVF. During ICSI, one single sperm is injected directly into an egg. ICSI is especially useful in cases if there is a problem with partner's sperm.
AHA (Assisted Hatching) is a reproductive procedure that can significantly increase the chance of pregnancy. With AHA before embryo transfer, a tiny hole is made on the outer layer of the embryo. This allow to embryo to attach properly to the womb's wall, and thus increase the success rate of IVF. It is recommended over the age of 35 or after 2 failed IVF cycles.
Yes, all sperm donors are anonymous. An anonymous donor, of course, has no paternal rights to a child born from his sperm. At the same time, the recipient or the child conceived with donor sperm cannot be given the identity of the donor.
No, there is no waiting list for IVF with donated sperm. We have a large bank of sperm donors.
Potential donors will undergo thorough medical examination to ensure that they will provide healthy sperm. Only males, under the age of 35, who are perfectly healthy, can become donors. The screening procedure of sperm donors is a multistage process. The first stage of the screening process is an andrological evaluation linked to a laboratory sperm analysis. This is followed by a genetic and psychological examination. Potential donor should be perfectly healthy genetically and mentally as well. The sperm pool is convinced by means of laboratory tests
that the potential donor does not carry diseases, which could be transmitted sexually. Test for HIV has exceptional importance among these laboratory tests. If so far the potential donor complies with our requirements, candidate gains admission into the sperm donor pool. In the pool donor is handled anonymously and recognised only by a code number.
We have a bank of anonymous egg donors but not many. If you are need donated eggs from an anonymous donor, please let us know in advance. At Nadya clinic, we follow the concept: "One recipient - one donor".
Only females, under the age of 35, gave birth to at least one child and who is genetically and mentally healthy, can become eggs donors. For IVF, you can use either anonymous eggs donors or your relative's donated eggs.
Yes, embryos can be frozen for the maximum of 5 years.
Maximum 3 embryos can be transferred.
