How to successfully master ICSI without shortcuts?

June 19, 2018

Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection has been the holy grail of an IVF lab. After its successful initiation in the early 1990s, the technique has had a massive impact on the industry. ICSI was all about tackling severe male infertility but now it is routinely used in a fertility clinic where ICSI has almost replaced IVF. Is too much of ICSI detrimental in the long run? Now, that is a matter of serious debate. However, ICSI is now one of the key techniques necessary for an embryologist to grow. It is a ticket to push you into seniority and mastering the same is a challenge.

But, unfortunately, in the wake of quickly acquiring this skill, budding embryologists try to fast track their learning process. This results in a half-baked approach which doesn’t help in gaining proficiency in ICSI.

I have self-trained myself in ICSI as I had joined a fertility clinic as a trainee. Resources initially were less but as the cases picked up, I got an opportunity to get myself acquainted with the process of imbibing the technique fully.

ICSI Procedure

ICSI Procedure

For starters, ICSI is a procedure where a single sperm is injected into a mature oocyte with the help of a micromanipulator. At the face of it, the procedure may require a week to get basically trained but that may not prepare you to sail through the overwhelming tides of handling regular cases and unpredictable nature of the load of work. The following steps can help overcome pitfalls and result in an exhaustive preparedness into ICSI.

Know The ICSI micromanipulator

Know The ICSI Micromanipulator

Firstly, the fundamentals lie in knowing the machine and the micromanipulator or the microscope thoroughly. It is like you ought to marry the machine in order to get accustomed to every facet and aspect of its working. My experience has taught me that embryologists tend to bypass this essentiality. It is important to know about the condenser as much as it is important to know about the holding and the injecting pipette. Any type, whether it is RI or Narishige and even Eppendorf system, knowing intricate details of the machine will be the foundation on which you can even tackle troubleshooting issues.

Secondly, the alignment part is to be mastered. Here, I have seen people skipping certain steps that snowball into problems later when you are about to immobilize sperms or inject oocytes. Practicing alignment comes across as boring which makes people skip it or think it’s avoidable. This is the time when used needles should be incorporated and used to align as this will not only teach you to do it faster but also will make you realize needles are so sensitive to handle and they break! Details such as setting the angle and changing the filter with respect to objective get drowned in the midst of hurrying the alignment.

Preparing ICSI dish a priority

Preparing ICSI dish a priority

Thirdly, making an ICSI dish is also a priority. This will give you an idea of the pattern you will incorporate along with the number of sperms to be added in the PVP droplet. I have seen inexperience flowing when too many sperms are added in the PVP drop which becomes difficult for immobilization. Making a clean and clear dish along with adding an optimum amount of sperm is equally important as other steps.

Selection Of Sperm

Selection Of Sperm

Fourthly, sperm catching will follow. This step requires the maximum practice and attention as the morphology of chosen sperm is in your hands considering there won’t be a choice with respect to oocytes. Initially, the experience of sperm immobilization may be increasingly frustrating and this may lure trainees to jump into oocyte injection part which seems much easy and yes a bit glamorous. Basically, you have to train your eye to choose the correct sperm and the difficulty level must increase with Normozoospermia followed by severe OAT and even surgically retrieved samples. For beginners, the edge of a PVP sperm drop provides the necessary reservoir to begin practice sperm catching!

Oocyte Injection

Oocyte Injection

Lastly, the Oocyte injection will be the final step. In this part, during training, you may not get actual oocytes and hence you may miss the actual feeling of injecting true mature eggs. The little suction to be applied for holding the egg, aspiration till you get a jerk like feeling, the observation of a funnel-shaped structure in the cytoplasm won’t be visible whilst injecting oocytes other than mature.

Once you have combined all the steps and are confident, then the process of trying to time and stimulating a real ICSI environment must begin. In this scenario, the injections of oocytes should commence in this order. First, it should be degenerated eggs followed by unfertilized or M1s or GVs. The latter may not indicate fertilization, but we can just check if they survive the injection process. This should be followed by giving two or three oocytes to inject from a patient exhibiting good quality oocytes and sperms. This should be followed by a progressive increase in a number of eggs with a corresponding increase in the level of difficulty. (say to TESA/PESA cases) Here, you will actually get exposed to different types and varieties of mature oocytes you have to handle. This should culminate in giving half the oocytes of the patient and then the whole patient under monitoring or supervision. A documentation of recording the fate of every mature egg injected (fertilization or degeneration) and the technique applied (smooth or rough) together will ensure in giving confidence in absorbing the said embryologist in routine ICSI procedures in the fertility clinic.

With the above steps, one should require about six months for doing ICSI routinely with respect to the availability of resources. ICSI is like learning to drive a car. The training at a motor school will teach you the basics but how you acclimatize to roads and different terrains will depend upon how you handle the car outside the school. It takes time before you get used to driving and so this above process to learn ICSI will do the same for this technique.

Future Of IVF

January 25, 2014

Future Of IVF in Assisted Reproductive Technology – Future of Fertility Treatment – IVF future – Economical, High Success Rate, Safer IVF Treatment –  The ambitious future of IVF Treatment –  The importance of IVF Laboratory and IVF process – Future of IVF and Genetic Testing – Bright future of IVF and ART related techniques –  21st  Century Future of In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common and most effective type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) to help infertile women become pregnant. In an IVF process, eggs are removed from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in the laboratory. The fertilised egg (embryo) is later placed in the woman’s womb.

IVF process - Future of IVF and Genetic Testing

Future of Fertility Treatment – IVF future – Economical

Since it was first used in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has created more than 5 million babies. Success rates for IVF depend on a number of factors, including the reason for infertility, where you’re having the procedure done, and your age. Currently pregnancy is achieved in an average of 29.4% of all IVF cycles (higher or lower depending on the age of the woman. The percentage of cycles that resulted in live births was 22.4% on average (higher or lower depending on the age of the woman). apart from the success of the IVF treatment infertile couples know that IVF is expensive, and doesn’t always mean the birth of a baby. Hence the number of infertile couples opting for this treatment is less.

The future of IVF treatments is very good. With advances in the technology of ART, IVF treatment is going to be the first solution for intended parents. Following are the points where IVF has more good options of improving and it has already seen boost in the treatments.

1) Chromosomal Abnormalities

Many of the embryos formed during infertility treatments carry no possibility of becoming a baby because they carry lethal genetic abnormalities. Around 70% of the time, an embryo fails to form because of these abnormalities in its DNA. The pregnancy does not take place and patient has to go for another ivf cycle. There are ways, however, of improving the odds.

PreImplantation Genetic Diagnosis: Today Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) helps you distinguish which embryos have genetic or chromosomal defects before implantation. If you or your family is a carrier of genetic diseases, you can have embryos examined through PGD, and screened for genetic diseases, including Fragile X Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s disease, and many others.

This procedure allows you to select the healthiest embryo for implantation, increasing your chances of having a healthy baby. If your family has a history of hemophilia, for example, preimplantation genetic diagnosis reveals which embryos test positive for the disease.

Bright future of IVF and ART related techniques

The Future of IVF and Genetic Testing

A recent scientific breakthrough in preimplantation genetic diagnosis gives many couples new hope. Next generation sequencing is a game changer for couples who turn to IVF. This new technology sorts through genetic information and mutations, improving doctors’ ability to detect abnormalities and identify embryos with the highest chances of producing a viable pregnancy.

This procedure allows you to select the healthiest embryo for implantation, increasing your chances of having a healthy baby. If your family has a history of hemophilia, for example, preimplantation genetic diagnosis reveals which embryos test positive for the disease.

2)  Transfer of Embryos

Initially more than two embryos were implanted to get favourable results. With the help of blastosyst embryo transfer only healthy and viable embryos are transferred which results in pregnancy. Cryopreservation of unused embryos is efficient, since embryos without the capacity for full development are not frozen. Blastocyst transfer also allows the option of single embryo transfer. The advances in genetic screening will go far beyond getting people pregnant, however, as we better define genetic diseases and learn how to screen for a greater number of serious conditions. This is complex, both medically and ethically, but the future convergence of well-defined genomes and very effective embryo testing makes this application inevitable at some point of time.

3)  Ovarian Tissue Transplant

Ovarian tissue transplant has the potential to revolutionise fertility treatment. Ovarian Tissue Transplant followed by Successful IVF Creates Future Fertility Hope for Ovarian Cancer Survivors. A women who is facing infertility problem because of ovarian cancer treatment, now has the ray of hope to achieve pregnancy. The sample of ovarian tissue is taken from the patient’s cancer-free ovary through keyhole surgery and is then frozen.  After the patient is ready and free from her treatment, the tissue which is frozen is grafted onto the left and right sides of the front wall of her abdomen. After a few months the tissue starts working, and with a gentle dose of hormone treatment produced follicles and two single eggs.  Both were fertilized, implanted, and became viable pregnancies. These is possible because of the freezing process of ovarian tissue in the IVF laboratory. This technique is new and will be a great boon for infertile couples facing fertility issues because of cancer diagnosis.

4)  Three Parents: The Twenty-First Century Future of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?

Babies with three parents could soon be born through controversial new IVF treatment. The new in-vitro fertilization technique, currently in the research phase, is nearing approval in Britain and would be the first to involve genetically modified embryos. The technique is meant to enable parents to avoid passing on diseases to their offspring. To prevent the passage of mitochondrial disorders from mother to child, researchers have devised a solution. The fertility treatment, known as mitochondrial transfer, tries to replace a faulty part of a mother‘s egg with healthy material from a donor, creating a “genetically modified child” with three biological parents. The technique has proven successful in human cells in the ivf laboratory and is awaiting recognition.

It involves intervening in the fertilization process to remove faulty mitochondrial DNA, which can cause inherited conditions such as fatal heart problems, liver failure, brain disorders, blindness and muscular dystrophy. The methods are designed to help families with mitochondrial diseases – incurable conditions passed down the maternal line that affect around one in 6,500 children worldwide.

5)  Better, Faster, More Budget-Friendly IVF Treatment

NGS technology (Next generation sequencing) has its advantages over older technology such as microarray. Next generation sequencing not only hikes the chances of getting a healthy pregnancy, but does so at a lower cost, and with more details and accurate information. What makes this cutting-edge process even more appealing, besides the very real promise of taking the guesswork out of making a baby, are the super-quick results it delivers. In only 24 hours, doctors will be able to have a complete assessment of the embryo’s health.

6)  What will it take to bring down the costs of IVF?

The biggest step will be automating the IVF lab. The embryologist opens the incubator door, takes out the petri dish, does something to the embryo or the media, opens the incubator door, put the dish back, close the incubator door series of steps for every IVF case that has been used since the 1980’s. The technology-robotics, microfluidics, incubators with cameras etc, already exists. Probably new invention will keep on taking place. These will involve higher success rate in ivf treatment, low cost ivf treatment and increased amount of infertile couples opting for IVF and ART related techniques.

In all IVF treatments eggs, sperm and embryo creation is very essential. Whether it is donor egg, donor sperm or infertile couples own eggs and sperm. Handling of all these requires very hygienic conditions and prescribed temperatures and sterlisation. They are to be stored in freezer. Handling of all these requires expert training and knowledge be it either embryologist or gynaecologist.

Infertility – Expert Infertility Treatment – Fertility Clinics, Infertility Clinics.

The center of any IVF clinic is the IVF laboratory, because this is where the embryos are actually made.

1. The CO2 incubator- This is the soul of the IVF lab, where fertilization occurs and embryos are carefully grown under controlled conditions, which mimic our body’s environment.

The soul of the IVF lab

2. The IVF culture medium, in which embryos are cultured and nourished. Most IVF clinics use ready-made medium, which is quality controlled and extensively tested.

3. Microscopes are the work-horse of the IVF lab and allow the embryologist to inspect eggs and embryos.The circular plastic dish on the heated platform of the microscope is a culture dish; and the central well contains the culture medium in which the embryos are grown .You can see what embryos look like under the microscope here.

The work-horse of the IVF lab

4. The micromanipulator, where ICSI is performed. It is also used to perform the embryo biopsy when doing PGD. It allows us to visualise the eggs , sperm and embryos because of the high degree of magnification it offers; and also allows us to precisely manipulate the fine pipettes which are used to perform surgery on the egg and embryo.

5.The computer-controlled embryo cryopreservation unit , which allows us to freeze and store embryos.

6. The liquid nitrogen containers, in which sperm and embryos are frozen and preserved at -196 C.
