IVF Intralipid Infusion Treatment: How Many Treatments does it take?






Before we go over the process of intralipid infusion treatments, let us first explain what an intralipid is. An intralipid is simply a fat emulsion designed to be administered intravenously. It is made up of 10% soybean oil, 1.2% Phospholipids from egg yolk, 2.25% Glycerin, and water.

Why should you receive Intralipid infusion treatments during IVF?


Evidence shows that intralipid infusion treatments during IVF aids in successful implantation of the fertilized egg. Patients who have intralipid infusion treatments during IVF are as much as 50% more likely to achieve successful implantation than those who do not receive intralipid infusion treatments.

Another reason is because some evidence shows that receiving Intralipid infusion treatments during IVF reduces the chances of or stops NK cells (natural killer cells) from attacking the implanted egg. NK cells are specialized cells within the uterus that fight infection and destroy foreign cells. 

How do intralipid Infusion treatments help during IVF?


Intralipid infusion treatments help during IVF in a couple of ways. One way is that they give a beneficial nutrient boost to the patient. Considering that optimal health is vital to successful IVF, this nutrient boost can be a great asset.

How many Intralipid infusion treatments should you receive during IVF?


Generally you will receive two treatments of Intralipid infusion, the first one about a week before your scheduled egg retrieval, and a second treatment the day of your implantation. However many fertility clinics will recommend more than two.

Some will recommend a third Intralipid infusion treatment upon a successful pregnancy test. Still others will recommend continuing Intralipid infusion treatments once a month for the first three months of pregnancy.

Estrace for Fertility Treatments: What You Should Know

Estrace comes as either a cream or an oral pill, depending on what your doctor has prescribed. Both are a form of estrogen and it is used to treat women whose estrogen levels are preventing them from becoming pregnant. Estrace is often used with IVF treatments, and may be prescribed for use in combination with other fertility medications. 

Estrace and IVF, By the Numbers
It is quite common these days for doctors to prescribe Estrace to maintain or increase the endometrial lining in the uterus, or in combination with progesterone in order to produce and sustain viable eggs and promote conception, especially when IVF is being used. There have been at least 10 or more fertility studies which indicated that estrogen supplementation in combination with progesterone in the luteal phase (when going through IVF) resulted in a higher clinical pregnancy rate. The usual dosage is 2mg taken 2-3 times a day orally, or you may be prescribed a cream. As with any fertility medication, of course, follow your doctor’s instructions.
Estrace Experiences
Fertilethoughts.com
Patient # 1:  A woman has just started on Estrace and is having some slight nausea, she asks if it is normal for this reaction to fertility medications, and if it goes away. Many responses reassure her that this is completely normal with this as it is estrogen, after all. The doctor should continue to monitor, however, and make adjustments as needed.
Fertilitycentral.org
Patient # 2:  A patient was given the Estrace pills but was told to take them vaginally to encourage fertility. She wonders if anyone else has had side effects other than the blue discharge. Several respond saying that they had little to no side effects from taking it vaginally, and that it did work.
Babycenter.com
Patient # 3: A woman writes that she was prescribed Estrace and immediately went home and Googled it. She is alarmed at the potential harm if pregnant and taking this IVF medication. Many responders told her that they were all prescribed Estrace during their fresh cycles of IVF. Another woman writes that she stayed on it for the first 10 weeks of her pregnancy and that her child was born quite healthy. She tells the poster that Estrace is one of the ‘good guys’ in the fertility medication world.

Fertility Treatment: In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

IVF is a common treatment for infertility, which involves removing eggs from your ovaries and mixing them with sperm in a laboratory. The eggs are fertilized in the dish, and ‘in vitro’ means ‘in glass.’

The first IVF baby was born in 1978. Since then, there have been thousands more.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Who Should Try IVF? 

IVF is regularly recommended for:
•Women with damaged or blocked fallopian tubes
•Men with minor sperm problems (major problems are treated with ICSI)
•If you’ve tried getting pregnant medications without success
•If you’ve been trying to conceive for a year without success and no other explanation has been found

How IVF is Done

IVF begins by using female infertility drugs such as Fragmin 500 IU pregnancy and Gynorest medication, to help produce between 8-12 eggs instead of one.

Your doctor will do an ultrasound to determine if the eggs are ready. Next, they will put you under sedation to extract them. Some women feel mild discomfort during the procedure.

While the eggs are being retrieved, your partner will provide a semen sample, or you’ll use donated or frozen sperm. The sperm are washed, and the best quality ones are chosen for the eggs.

A doctor or technician will combine the eggs and sperm in a dish. Then they will culture in an incubator.

If fertilization occurs, the embryos will be kept in the incubator for 2-5 days. The doctor will select the healthiest ones to transfer into your uterus.

At this stage, you’ve been taking progesterone to help thicken the lining of your uterus, which will increase the chances of implantation.

If there are viable embryos left over from the IVF procedure, they can be frozen and saved for a later cycle.

A complete cycle of IVF takes from 4 to 6 weeks. The actual egg retrieval and fertilization takes about half a day, and the embryos culture in the lab for 2 to 5 days.

Once a pregnancy has occurred, doctors will regularly check on the baby’s growth via ultrasound.  Children conceived by IVF exhibit no long-term problems or complications, and are just as healthy as those born from natural conception.

Fertility Medication

There are a wide range of fertility medications available. For example, GnRH agonist or antagonist drugs prevent your pituitary glad from releasing fertility hormones. FSH containing drugs are used to stimulate egg follicles to grow. hCG drugs are used to encourage final egg maturation.

Some popular IVF drugs include Lovenox 2850 IU, Follistim 300 IU (Puregon) and Gonal-F 300 IU.

IVF Success Rates 

Success rates depend on a couple’s specific fertility problems and age. Younger couples have a higher chance of success.

Here are recent success rates for women using their own fresh eggs:
•Under 35: 32 percent
•Between 35 and 37: 28 percent
•Between 38 and 39: 21 percent
•Between 40 and 42: 14 percent
•Between 43 and 44: 5 percent
•45 or over: 2 percent
