Often if spermatozoa cannot be observed in a semen analysis, spermatozoa can be retrieved in several regions of the testes. The biopsy can be performed prior to IVF treatment as a diagnostic means, with the tissue frozen. Alternatively the day before or on the actual day of oocyte retrieval. If spermatozoa are recovered with TESE then the oocytes are fertilized by the method ICSI. Here, we see a single sperm being chosen from cells from the testes and being used fir ICSI.

The number of cells doubles with each successive division until a hollow ball of rapidly dividing cells is produced. Throughout the process the ovum is moving down the Fallopian tube toward the uterus. Five to six days after the fusion, the ovum reaches the uterus and implants itself in the soft wall. The hollow ball of cells now contains up to one hundred cells, arranged as an outer ring and an inner mass. The outer ring grows outward and penetrates the uterine tissue, while the inner mass divides into two separate layers, an inner endoderm and an outer ectoderm. These two layers become separated form the outer ring and by nine days form two cavities with the hollow ball. The ectoderm later spreads around the periphery of the smaller cavity, forming a sac, the amnion, which will surround and protect the developing embryo. The endoderm similarly encloses the larger cavity to form a yolk sac, which will have a nutritive function.

For more information, visit Village Fertility Pharmacy www.villagefertilitypharmacy.com This medication education video demonstrates how to administer a Follistim injection. Follistim AQ Cartridge for use with the Follistim Pen. Follistim (follitropin beta) contains human follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) that is manufactured using recombinant DNA technology. Follistim AQ cartridge is a prefilled, premixed recombinant gonadotropin. Packaged in 300 IU (international units), 600 IU and 900 IU cartridges, the Follistim Pen allows the user to dial a specific dose in 25 IU increments from 50 IU to 450 IU per subcutaneous injection. It is indicated for the development of multiple follicles in ovulatory patients participating in an assisted reproductive technology (ART) program. It is also indicated for the induction of ovulation and pregnancy in anovulatory infertile patients in whom the cause of infertility is functional and not due to primary ovarian failure. How It Works: Follistim is administered as a subcutaneous injection. Follistim acts like naturally produced FSH by stimulating a follicle (egg) to develop and mature in the ovary. Follistim is also used to stimulate the development of multiple eggs for assisted reproductive technologies. Storage: Follistim AQ Cartridge 300IU, 600IU, 900IU Store refrigerated until the expiration date OR at room temperature (77°F) for 3 months or until expiration date, whichever occurs first. Once the Cartridge has been pierced by a needle the Cartridge can be stored for a maximum of 28 days refrigerated or at room temperature (36-77°F). Protect from light. Do not freeze. Potential Side Effects: Side effects that may occur include: abdominal pain/discomfort, ovarian cysts, dizziness, flu-like symptoms including fever, chills, muscle aches, joint pains, nausea, headache, malaise, breast tenderness, dry skin, body rash, hives. Treatment with Follistim may increase the likelihood of multiple births. The risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) should be discussed with your physician prior to treatment. Early warning signs include severe pelvic pain, nausea, vomiting and weight gain. If you experience an allergic reaction: difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue or face; or hives; seek emergency medical attention immediately. And if at any time you experience: pain, warmth, redness, numbness, or tingling in an arm or leg; confusion, severe dizziness or severe headache, seek medical attention immediately. PLEASE NOTE: If these or any other side effects occur, contact your physician.

Leuprolide Acetate has also been used to treat endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early puberty, and as part of the process to stimulate multiple eggs for assisted reproductive technologies. The strength of Leuprolide Acetate is 1mg/0.2ml. Leuprolide Acetate is administered as a subcutaneous injection using insulin syringes. Insulin syringes are used because the measurement on the syringe is in units (i.e.: 10 units is equivalent to 0.1ml/cc). For the role it plays in assisted reproductive technologies, Leuprolide Acetate is used to reduce the amount of estrogen and testosterone in the body. This decrease in estrogen production will prevent ovulation and stop menstrual periods.
