Uterine Rest Technique

In order to achieve success in IVF treatment, the correct diagnosis of the problem must first be made. When we separate the factors that cause infertility according to gender, 30-40% are female-related factors and 40-50% are male-related factors. In addition, factors related to both men and women account for 25%, while no cause can be identified in 15-20% of patients.

Recent studies have shown that the hormones or medications used to grow eggs have a negative effect on the lining of the uterus and therefore reduce the ability of the uterus to accept the embryo. In order to eliminate this effect, the quality embryos obtained during the treatment are frozen and the treatment is interrupted for 1-2 months to allow the effect of the medication to disappear and the uterus to return to its natural state. This treatment, which allows the uterus to easily accept the embryo, is called the “uterine resting method”.

Studies have shown that the drugs used to grow eggs have a negative effect on the lining of the uterus to a certain extent. In order to eliminate this, good quality embryos obtained during the treatment are frozen and the treatment is interrupted for 2 months to eliminate the effect of the drugs and allow the uterus to rest.

In order for this method to be successful, embryos must be frozen with a high success rate and can be thawed on demand without damage.
