What is embryo adoption?
Embryo adoption is a technique that consists of gestating embryos that other couples have donated once they have achieved their pregnancy.
The INVO or INVOcell device is an intravaginal culture system. It is a way to make the in vitro fertilization process more natural. It allows fertilization and embryonic development to occur within the woman’s body.
The INVOcell is a device into which the eggs and semen are inserted. It is then inserted into the woman’s vagina. In this way, fertilization and the first stages of development occur within the body of the patient. The patient’s vagina comes to replace the laboratory incubators.
The INVOcell device is made up of two parts:
Both parts of the INVO Culture System are inserted into the vagina where they will remain for 3-5 days.
The first part of the procedure is similar to any IVF cycle. Hormonal stimulation of the ovaries is performed. Then, when the follicles have matured, intravaginal ultrasound puncture is performed to extract the follicular fluids and oocytes.
The husband must deliver a semen sample to be prepared (trained) in the laboratory.
Once we have the eggs and sperm, they are introduced into the INVO culture system and placed in the vagina.
On the third or fifth day the device is removed and the embryos are evaluated. One or two embryos are transferred to the woman and if there are more embryos, they are frozen.
During the time that the device is inside the woman’s vagina, it is recommended to avoid:
In general, you must avoid any type of activity that can alter the vaginal temperature. It is also necessary to prevent the device from moving or coming out of the vagina.
