Bedaya Hospital has a multidisciplinary team that will tailor you a personal approach for the IVF process and tackle down any possible factors that could decrease your chances.
IVF procedure
During a procedure of IVF, the oocytes (eggs) and the partners processed semen sample are put in a test tube under optimal conditions to allow natural fertilization. The embryos that come out of this are transferred back in the female uterus.
Difference between IVF and ICSI
The first successful IVF trial was done in 1977 and resulted in the birth of Louisa Brown on the 25th of July in 1978. The first successful ICSI trial was in 1990 but the first delivery after an ICSI cycle wasn’t till 1992.
The process of IVF and ICSI are entirely the same until after the oocyte retrieval. After the retrieval the oocytes are put in test tubes with processed semen to allow natural fertilization in IVF where in ICSI each cell is injected with a single sperm cell under a special microscope. In both cases formed embryos are then put into incubators and their development closely monitored for 3-5 days until they are ready for transfer.

Facts about IVF in Egypt
Several facts about IVF in Egypt for anyone considering taking the step;
1- Knowing the result
Pregnancy results are not immediately known on the day of embryo transfer. A pregnancy test taken 14 days after the embryo transfer will determine if your IVF cycle was successful or not.
2- The success rates of the operation
The success rates of IVF at Bedaya Hospital range between 50 to 60% depending on the reasons of infertility and the maternal age at the time of ovum pickup.
3- Embryo Freezing
If more embryos have developed than we need for transfer, the remaining embryos can be safely frozen and kept for transfer in the future. The risk of losing embryos in the freezing and thawing process is only about 1-2%
4-Genetic diseases
Bedaya Hospital is a renowned center for Genetic testing. We have a vast number of different genetic tests for most genetic inherited diseases. These tests are done on the embryos before they are transferred back to the uterus to make sure the pregnancy that occurs after the IVF trial is free from the tested diseases.
5- Gender selection
After the ovum pickup a gender selection (sex selection) test could be performed on all embryos so only the embryos of the desired gender are transferred back to the uterus.
6- The possibility of conceiving twins
The possibility of pregnancies occurring with multiple embryos is slightly higher in IVF since we usually transfer multiple embryos to improve the chances of the IVF trial resulting in pregnancy.
The number of transferred embryos depends on the number of available embryos, their quality, the mother’s medical history.
7- Delivery after IVF
Babies conceived through IVF do not necessarily have to come into this world through a cesarean section. IVF pregnancies are equal to normal pregnancies apart from how conception took place. The decision on normal vaginal delivery versus a cesarean section depend on your OBGYN doctor’s judgement and maternal condition during pregnancy and at time of birth.
