IIn assisted reproduction treatments, embryo transfer is a crucial step that directly impacts pregnancy rates. There are different methods to improve the adhesion of the embryo to the endometrium, such as EmbryoGlue, a medium enriched with hyaluronic acid.
However, at Fertility Madrid, we use cytokines, a scientifically supported alternative that can increase implantation chances without the need for EmbryoGlue. In this article, we will explore how both options work, their impact on success rates, and why Fertility Madrid has chosen cytokines to help those seeking to achieve pregnancy.
What is EmbryoGlue and How Does It Work?
EmbryoGlue is a culture medium designed for embryo transfer, particularly in IVF treatments. Its formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the uterus that promotes embryo adhesion.
This product has been widely used in many clinics specializing in assisted reproduction to improve implantation success rates. However, recent studies suggest that its impact on success rates is not always significantly higher compared to other approaches.
The Role of Cytokines in Embryo Implantation
Cytokines are proteins that regulate interactions between different cells in the body, acting as messengers in cellular communication. In the context of embryo implantation, cytokines facilitate the communication between the embryo and the endometrium, which is essential for successful implantation.
At Fertility Madrid, we are committed to offering the most advanced and evidence-based techniques to maximize the chances of success in fertility treatments. While EmbryoGlue has shown promising results, we have chosen to use cytokine-enriched culture media because of their natural role in embryo-endometrium communication.
Cytokines at Fertility Madrid: A Natural Alternative to EmbryoGlue
In recent years, fertility clinics have incorporated different methods to improve embryo implantation. One of the best-known is EmbryoGlue, a culture medium enriched with hyaluronic acid. However, at Fertility Madrid, we use cytokines as an alternative to increase the chances of pregnancy.
Cytokines are proteins that play a fundamental role in cellular communication and in the regulation of the immune system. Their use in fertility treatments aims to optimize the interaction between the embryo and the endometrium, facilitating implantation in a natural way.
Differences Between EmbryoGlue and Cytokines
- EmbryoGlue acts as a biological adhesive in embryo transfer, while cytokines favour communication between cells.
- Cytokines can be applied in natural cycles, without the need to modify the culture medium.
- Both options seek to improve success rates in IVF, but cytokines have shown good results without altering the embryo’s natural environment.
Key Factors for a Successful Pregnancy
To achieve a successful pregnancy, it is essential to evaluate certain aspects before deciding on the type of treatment. Some factors that can influence embryo implantation include:
- Ovarian reserve: The quantity and quality of available eggs affect success rates in IVF and other fertility programs.
- Maternal age: The older the woman, the lower the probability of success in fertility treatments.
- Uterine conditions: Endometrial receptivity is key for a proper embryo transfer.
- Complementary techniques: Some patients may benefit from artificial insemination before resorting to IVF.
At Fertility Madrid, we conduct an individualized study to determine the most suitable option for each patient, with the aim of optimizing success in fertility treatments.
Fertility Treatment Costs and Financing Options
The cost of fertility treatments varies according to the technique used and the number of cycles required. To make access to these treatments easier, Fertility Madrid offers financing options.
We provide different fertility programs with a money-back guarantee, allowing patients to undergo multiple IVF cycles at a fixed price. At Fertility Madrid, we prioritize personalized treatments that give each patient the best chances of achieving pregnancy with the highest possible success rates.
Factors Influencing Embryo Implantation
The choice between EmbryoGlue and cytokines is not the only factor that determines implantation success. Other aspects that affect success rates include:
- Age of the woman: The quality of the eggs decreases with age, which affects the chances of pregnancy.
- Embryo quality: A high-quality embryo has a better chance of resulting in a successful pregnancy.
- Uterine conditions: Endometrial receptivity is key in any treatment.
- Fallopian tubes: Although the transfer of frozen embryos and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) bypasses the need for functional tubes, their condition can still affect the uterus’ response.
What is the Best Option for You?
The ideal treatment option depends on several individual factors. At Fertility Madrid, we carry out a personalized evaluation to determine whether cytokines may be the best alternative to achieve the desired pregnancy.
