Men and women have different development steps for reproductive cells (egg/sperm). Although men can create new sperm cells during their life time, women have an egg reserve that diminishes with age and the reserve is determined at embryonic life so whilst they are in their mothers’ womb. The consumption rate of the eggs is very individual and there are fertility tests for women that can be carried out so women can see their current fertility status and if there is any signs of a low egg reserve risk, these tests can show this early on. An ultrasound scan is one of the crucial tests to check the number

There are two types of infertility. Primary and secondary. Primary infertility is the medical condition when the couple has no pregnancy after having regular  unprotected sex for at least one year ( for the couples women are older than 35 year old this duration is for 6 months). Secondary infertility means unability to become pregnant after previous pregnancy ; even the previous pregnancy results in childbirth or not . If a couple has experienced miscarriage what should be the next step and how fertility should be assessed after miscarriage ? The first three months of pregnancy is named as first trimester and we mostly see miscarriages in the

One of the questions that every couple applying for IVF treatment has, is whether there is a risk of mixing their own embryos with other embryos or what are the safety measures taken by us in the laboratory to prevent such confusion. Egg / sperm samples and embryos are safe with a barcoding system!!! What is Barcoding System? Personalised barcodes are created for each patient who undergo IVF treatment. Before the patient is taken to the operating room, the system is identified by reading the barcode on the patient bracelet, and the details are confirmed by the patient, if the barcode is not read and confirmed the samples

Sperm Morphology means the shape of the Sperm and as you can read below is very important for a pregnancy. Sperm head (shape of the head, presence of acrosome)-neck and tail. Head anomalies constitute the most important defects in sperm morphology. One of the most important indicators of sperm quality is its shape. Among the parameters evaluated in semen analysis, sperm motility and sperm morphology give the most important information about the fertilization potential of the sperm sample. The relationship between sperm morphology and success of eggs fertilising into embryos has been researched and proven to be important. There are 2 common methods used in the evaluation of
