THE FIGHT TO AN EMBRYO OF BIRTH

In the field of Assisted Reproduction, the process of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an egg fertilized with sperm, leading to the formation of the embryo, which after 5 days of fertilized embryos the best are chosen to be transferred the uterus of the mother.

For Dr. Roly Hilario specialist in Human Reproduction of Fertility Clinic PROCREAR, there are previous steps before fertilization and embryo transfer, "from the aspiration of ova in the patient, on average should withdraw 5 eggs, to be fertilized with the sperm of the couple; to have at least two suitable embryos to be transferred, that because during embryonic development many stop in their growth due to chromosomal and genetic problems.

"After obtaining the fittest embryos, they are passed to transfer to the uterus of the patient, which one of them at least will be implanted in the endometrium (in perfect condition), for its development, "the cases are varied, you can implement both embryos to term (twins), can also be one of the implanted embryos development fails, or one of them gets to be implanted in the worst case not implant embryos either” Hilario says.

But this does not end here; it should be an evolutionary track of the embryo by ultrasound to determine if there are infections or other gynecological or genetic abnormalities that cause abortions or premature births.

As with a natural pregnancy where the fittest sperm manages to fertilize the egg, it can be said that the same applies to the formation of the embryo, the more capable will survive to form a new being, who will be born in good condition.
