Tandem Cycle Method And Treatment
Assisted fertility treatments such as IVF have revolutionized infertility treatment strategies. Tandem cycle in-vitro fertilization is a treatment option for couples or individuals suffering from low sperm or egg reserves.
What Is the Tandem Cycle Method?
In traditional IVF, eggs and sperm are allowed to fertilize in a lab, followed by embryo transfer and implantation. This method works well enough if adequate (quality and quantity) sperm and egg reserves are available.
For patients with low ovarian reserves or poor sperm quality and quantity, the success threshold with traditional IVF is low. The tandem cycle method aims to increase the pregnancy odds in such patients by combining traditional IVF with sperm and egg donation treatment.
In tandem cycle IVF, the female patient undergoes ovarian stimulation similar to traditional IVF. Along with her eggs, eggs from a donor are also fertilized in the lab. The embryo’s development is monitored by embryologists, and the embryo with the best chance of implantation is transferred.
Tandem Cycle Tips
Tandem cycling increases the efficiency of conventional IVF for individuals or couples with challenging fertility problems. These are some tandem cycle tips that will add to their effectiveness:
- The tandem cycle treatment is best for people who have low egg/sperm reserves but still want to give IVF a try.
- Choosing a specialist fertility hospital ensures that the latest technology is available to you.
- Always consult certified embryologists, gynecologists, and obstetricians for your tandem cycle treatment.
Picking a hospital with access to international standard egg and sperm banks makes tandem cycles safer and more reliable.
Tandem Cycle Treatment Costs
Similar to other forms of IVF, tandem cycling treatment costs vary from patient to patient. The British Cyprus IVF Hospital offers treatment packages that cater to the individual needs of the patient or couple and are based on the overall treatment plan decided after thorough consultations with qualified fertility specialists.
What Are the Advantages of the Tandem Cycle Method?
Tandem cycle IVF benefits patients with low sperm or egg reserves. It provides patients with a risk-free attempt at using their own eggs and sperm while having a backup plan in the form of donor eggs and sperm available.
The tandem cycle method also fortifies the success rate of conventional IVF and decreases the need for re-treatment.
