Is PGD necessary when doing IVF with Egg Donation?
PGD (also known as preimplantation genetic testing or PGT) can identify abnormal embryos during IVF. Is it necessary when using egg donation?
Human beings make lots of abnormal, nonviable embryos. The most common type are embryos that do not have the correct number of chromosomes. The older a woman gets, the higher the percentage of embryos will have chromosome abnormalities.
There are three possible outcomes if embryos with chromosome abnormalities are placed into your uterus. Most of the time, the embryos don't implant and you simply don’t get pregnant. Of those that do implant, most will miscarry. Chromosome abnormality is the most common cause of miscarriage. A very small number of abnormal embryos will result in live born babies. These babies will have birth defects such as Edward’s Syndrome which will cause the death of 90% of babies before they are 1 year old.
So, should testing for abnormal embryos be performed on all IVF cycles including Egg Donor cycles? Maybe not. Let’s look at the three problems I listed before.
Will it help you to get pregnant?
As an IVF expert, I am looking to see whether I get more women pregnant using PGT compared to not using PGT.
Younger women make fewer abnormal embryos than older women. Egg donors are usually young so egg donors usually have a lower percentage of abnormal embryos. That means that any embryo that my embryologists choose for transfer, is less likely to be abnormal if it comes from an egg donor. So testing all embryos is less useful in egg donors than it is for older women.
In fact, several studies have failed to find a difference in the chance for pregnancy when comparing IVF cycles in younger women and egg donors with tested embryos compared to the same younger women who had transfer of untested embryos.
In other words, using tested embryos in younger women did not improve the chance for success. Currently, embryo testing is very costly so it may not make sense for younger women and young egg donors.
This does not mean that it is impossible for a few individuals within those groups to benefit from testing. But there won’t be very many that will benefit. Most of the time, couples using an egg donor will have the same chance for success without PGT.
When does it make sense to use PGT in egg donor cycles? If a couple is interested in gender selection, then embryo testing is needed or if the male partner has a known chromosome problem like a translocation, then PGT may be warranted.

Coffee, Soda, Tea
Coffee, Soda and Tea all have one thing in common. They all contain caffeine. Caffeine has been linked with infertility and early miscarriage but not all studies agree on the effect. Part of the problem with these studies is that they rely on people accurately reporting how much caffeine they consume. People aren’t always honest about their use of things like alcohol, caffeine and tobacco. Furthermore, some people may just not realize how much they consume.
To try to get around this problem, researchers recently looked at 1200 women who were trying to conceive. Instead of asking how much caffeine they consumed, they measure the amount of caffeine and caffeine metabolites detected in their blood.
A pregnancy was confirmed if a woman had a positive blood pregnancy test. An early miscarriage diagnosis was made if a pregnancy was lost before it was seen on ultrasound, A later miscarriage were those that occurred after being seen on ultrasound.
The results are really pretty amazing. Women who had any detectable level of caffeine in their blood prior to conception had an almost 5 fold greater risk of an early miscarriage. There was very little impact of caffeine on later miscarriage except that coffee exerted a greater risk for later miscarriage whereas soda showed a greater risk for early miscarriage.
Our InfertilityTV bottom line. Avoid caffeine if you are trying to conceive

Battle of the Fertility pills - Letrozole vs Clomid - Which is the best?
There are two fertility pills. Letrozole and Clomid. But which one is best? When should you use one versus the other? Find out on today's episode of InfertilityTV
In this corner, the granddaddy of all fertility drugs we have Clomid. First to come to market in 1967, Clomid has been used more than any other fertility drug in history.
In this corner, sassy newcomer -- Letrozole - known by fans as Femara. Letrozole was first approved for medical use in 1996 - almost 30 years after Clomid. Initially used as a treatment for breast cancer, letrozole has only been used as a fertility medication since 2001 and only used commonly since 2006
Both contenders are given as an oral medication. Both can be monitored at home with an ovulation predictor test or in the doctor’s office with blood tests and ultrasounds.
In Match #1 - Letrozole faces off against Clomid for the treatment of women with PCOS. A massive study of almost 800 women with PCOS found more women ovulated with letrozole, more women got pregnant and delivered with letrozole with no difference in the rate of multiple pregnancies. The winner: Letrozole
Match #2 - Clomid versus letrozole for women with unexplained infertility. In a study of 900 women, less women got pregnant with letrozole and less women had a delivery with letrozole. There was no difference in the risk for multiple pregnancies
Your InfertilityTV bottom line - There is no universal winner! Letrozole is better for PCOS patients and Clomid is better for unexplained infertility.
This has been a great introduction but you need to learn more about these and other fertility pills check out this video next.

Where to inject fertility drugs for maximum IVF success
Using fertility drugs incorrectly can ruin your chances for IVF success. Today, on InfertilityTV we will discuss the right locations to inject fertility drugs.
With a few exceptions the fertility drugs used during IVF are injections that are taken every day for a few weeks. There are two types of fertility drugs - those that are given in the muscle and those that are given beneath the skin.
Intramuscular fertility drugs are the older type of fertility drugs. These medications contain hormones that are isolated from the urine of older women. Because they come from urine and are not purified very much, there are contaminants mixed in with the actual medication. Examples of these medications include Menopur and Repronex. These contaminants can be very irritating when they are injected into your body. The can cause redness of the skin, swelling, itching and pain at the injection site. In order to reduce these irritating symptoms, these fertility drugs are injected into the muscle where less irritation will occur. Although any muscle will work, the two largest groups of muscles are the shoulder and the buttocks. The buttocks are by far the largest group of muscles so this has been the main location for giving intramuscular fertility drugs. The medications require a longer needle to reach the muscle. You want to make sure you avoid most of the larger nerves and blood vessels so always give these fertility drugs in the upper outer portion of the buttocks. Even when you do it correctly, placing a needle deep in the muscle is going to be more painful and may result in bruising. For more specific injection instructions, watch this video.
Many IVF fertility drugs are now able to be given under the skin without having to inject into the muscle. These newer IVF fertility drugs do not come from urine and are highly purified. They dont contain the contaminants found in the older class of fertility drugs and so are far less irritating. IVF fertility drugs which can be given subcutaneously include Follistim and Gonal F. These medications can be administered using a much smaller needle into the fatty area just below the skin. There is a rich network of blood vessels there that are ideal for letting the fertility drugs to get absorbed into your circulation. One of the best areas is under the skin of your abdomen. The skin here is pretty loose and easy to inject. Try it now. Take a pinch of skin and lift it up. See how easy that is? There is plenty of room here so that you can give each injection in a slightly different place to avoid one area getting too sore. You may see a little bruising here and there but it will be much less than with an intramuscular injection.
Watch this video for specific instructions on giving subcutaneous injections.

IVF ICSI Procedure - Important things you need to know
The basic idea behind IVF is that the eggs are removed from the ovaries and fertilized outside of the body in the laboratory. There are two techniques for fertilizing eggs. The older method is called standard insemination. With this technique, a few thousand sperm are placed in a laboratory dish near the egg. The sperm have to penetrate the egg on their own. This method has largely been replaced by ICSI.
ICSI stands for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection. With this technique, a single sperm is injected into a single egg. There are a number of reasons why ICSI is preferred over standard insemination. First of all, if a man has low sperm counts or poor sperm movement then the chances are higher that fertilization will fail. Sometimes, standard insemination can fail even when the sperm numbers are normal. This is likely due to a specific problem with the sperm not being able to fertilize eggs on their own. Unfortunately, we are not able to predict ahead of time which men have sperm that might fail to fertilize an egg. ICSI bypasses those types of problems, so the chances of an IVF cycle failing because of fertilization failure is a lot lower with ICSI than with standard insemination.
When an egg is removed from the ovary it is surrounded by a dense group of cells called cumulus cells. These cells make it difficult to see the egg under the microscope. This makes it harder to determine if the egg is mature or not. Immature eggs cannot be fertilized. So when there is poor fertilization, it could be in part due to there being many immature eggs rather than a problem with the sperm
When we do ICSI, these cumulus cells are stripped away. This allows us to know with certainty whether an egg is mature and allows more precise evaluation of the egg retrieval.
Finally, ICSI is needed when we are doing genetic testing on embryos. With standard insemination, there may be sperm that didnt fertilize the egg still stuck to the outside of the egg after fertilization. This can cause an incorrect result when trying to do genetic testing of the embryo so ICSI is mandatory when doing genetic testing.
