IVF Diagnostic Flowchart Outline

  1. Patient Evaluation:
  2. Initial Consultation
    • Discuss medical history and fertility concerns.
    • Review family planning goals.
  3. Physical Examination
  4. Blood Tests & Baseline Hormone Levels
    • Measure Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Estradiol, AMH levels.
    • Evaluate thyroid function tests if indicated.
  1. Transvaginal Ultrasound:
  2. Initial Antral Follicle Count (AFC)
  3. Measurement of Ovarian Reserve (follicles per ovary)
  1. Ovarian Stimulation Protocol:
  2. Selection Based on AFC & Hormonal Profile
    • Determine suitability for stimulation.
    • Start Oral Medication (e.g., Clomiphene Citrate or Letrozole).
    • Begin Injectable Gonadotropins.
  3. Monitoring Ovulation
    • Blood Estrogen Levels Monitoring
    • Triggering Ovulation (Ultrasound Guided HCG Injection)
  1. Egg Retrieval Procedure:
  2. Pre-Retrieval Assessment
    • Assess physical and medical conditions check.
    • Ensure patient is fit for anesthesia and procedure.
  3. Retrieval Method (Transvaginal Ultrasound Guidance)
  4. Collection of Mature Oocytes
  1. Sperm Preparation:
  2. Semen Analysis
    • Assess sperm count, motility, morphology.
  3. Selective Isolation Techniques (e.g., Microfluidics)
  1. Fertilization Process:
  2. In Vitro Culture & Fertilization
    • Use of Controlled Proliferation.
    • Optimize conditions for fertilization.
  3. Observation of Embryo Development
  1. Embryo Evaluation and Selection:
  2. Morphological Assessment (Stage, Symmetry)
  3. Genetic Testing (e.g., Preimplantation Genetic Screening/Testing [PGS/PGT])
  4. Select best-quality embryos based on multiple factors.
  1. Embryo Transfer Procedure:
  2. Timing & Site Selection (Endometrial Condition Check via Hysteroscopy)
  3. Transfer Technique and Safety Measures
  1. Post-Transfer Care:
  2. Patient Monitoring for Implantation Success Signs
  3. Follow-up Assessments (Blood HCG Levels, Ultrasound Scan)
  1. Outcome Evaluation & Reporting:
  2. Confirmation of Pregnancy Test
  3. Documentation of IVF Process Outcome
  4. Counseling Session (Discuss Results and Next Steps)
