In the journey of assisted reproduction, selecting the healthiest eggs is crucial for increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy. Traditional IVF focuses primarily on the morphological appearance of eggs, but IVF MORE® takes it a step further with Metabolic Diagnosis, a groundbreaking step that allows specialists to assess the quality of each egg at a cellular level. This innovation ensures that only the best eggs are chosen, significantly enhancing embryo viability and pregnancy success rates.

Why Egg Quality Matters in IVF

Egg quality plays a fundamental role in determining the success of an IVF cycle. Poor-quality eggs may lead to failed fertilization, abnormal embryo development, or implantation issues. As women age or face reproductive challenges such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis, their egg quality can decline due to metabolic imbalances, lower energy levels, and compromised cellular structures.

By incorporating Metabolic Diagnosis, IVF MORE® offers a highly refined selection process, ensuring that only eggs with optimal potential are used in fertilization.

What is Metabolic Diagnosis?

Metabolic Diagnosis is an advanced screening method designed to evaluate the health and viability of each egg beyond its physical appearance. It involves analyzing critical metabolic indicators such as:

  • ATP Levels: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy source of cells. Healthy eggs exhibit strong ATP production, which is essential for proper embryo division and development.
  • Oxidative Stress Markers: High oxidative stress can damage the egg’s DNA and reduce its ability to develop into a viable embryo.
  • Mitochondrial Function: The mitochondria serve as the powerhouse of the egg. Eggs with well-functioning mitochondria have higher chances of successful fertilization and embryo development.
  • Cytoplasmic Quality: The cytoplasm contains nutrients and proteins vital for early embryonic growth. Analyzing its composition helps identify eggs with the highest developmental potential.

This process allows fertility specialists at IVF MORE® to select the most promising eggs, significantly improving the chances of creating viable embryos and achieving pregnancy.

How IVF MORE® Uses Metabolic Diagnosis

IVF MORE® integrates Metabolic Diagnosis as a critical step in its unique protocol for optimizing fertility treatments. Here’s how it fits into the process:

  1. Egg Collection and Banking: After controlled ovarian stimulation, multiple eggs are retrieved, and their metabolic health is evaluated.
  2. Comprehensive Metabolic Analysis: Each egg undergoes a detailed assessment using state-of-the-art technology to measure ATP production, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress levels.
  3. Selection of the Best Eggs: Based on metabolic findings, only eggs with optimal viability are selected for fertilization.
  4. Oocyte Restoration (if needed): Eggs with minor deficiencies may receive metabolic enhancement through growth factors and energy infusions, improving their quality.
  5. Fertilization and Embryo Culture: The best-selected eggs undergo PICSI (Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) to ensure they are fertilized by the highest-quality sperm.
  6. Magnetic Field Culture: Fertilized eggs are cultured in a magnetic field environment, which optimizes cellular energy and improves embryo development.

Advantages of Metabolic Diagnosis in IVF MORE®

The implementation of Metabolic Diagnosis in IVF MORE® brings multiple benefits to intended parents, including:

  • Higher Success Rates: By selecting the healthiest eggs, the likelihood of successful embryo implantation and pregnancy increases.
  • Reduced Risk of Genetic Abnormalities: Healthier eggs minimize the chances of chromosomal issues, leading to better pregnancy outcomes.
  • Personalized Treatment: Each patient receives a customized approach based on their egg quality and metabolic profile.
  • Greater Chances of a Healthy Baby: Since embryos develop from the best-quality eggs, the probability of a successful full-term pregnancy is significantly enhanced.

Conclusion

Metabolic Diagnosis is a game-changer in reproductive medicine, providing unparalleled accuracy in selecting the most viable eggs for fertilization. By integrating this advanced technology, IVF MORE® ensures that patients receive the most effective and personalized fertility treatments available today. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, IVF MORE® continues to redefine the future of assisted reproduction, helping individuals and couples achieve their dreams of parenthood with the highest level of confidence and success.
