Definition:

The term medically assisted procreation includes all the methods or techniques based on the manipulation of reproductive cells (gametes) that will allow infertile couples to conceive a child. Bioethical laws dating from July 29, 2004 govern these techniques.

What are the functions of MAP?

-the fight against infertility or sterility

-compensation for acquired sterility

-prevent transmission to a child with a serious illness

-desires of unconventional parenting

-to compensate the effect of menopause in the context of early menopause

What are the principles of the different techniques of MAP?

-techniques of scheduled intercourse: : hormonal monitoring (usually by urine test) can detect imminent ovulation and allows the couple to have intercourse at the time of maximum fertility.

-techniques of induced ovulation: A slight hormonal stimulation treatment and forced activation by a single hormone injection (eg HCG) can improve the quality of the ovulation in the increase in the number of oocytes and by having intercourse at the time of maximum fertility.

-techniques of intrauterine insemination (or artificial))

-This involves artificially injecting the sperm prepared more or less at the time of ovulation into the uterine cavity. This sperm can come from a spouse or a donor.

The terms so used are respectively:

-intrauterine insemination with husband's sperm (AIH)

intrauterine insemination with donor semen (AID)

-The purpose of this technique is to facilitate the meeting of sperm-oocyte in the female genital tract.

-How does it work? In most cases, ovulation is controlled by stimulation / activation. 36 hours after ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination of a small amount of prepared sperm will be performed.

-vitro fertilization (IVF)

-Fertilization is performed in the laboratory, ie outside the female genital tract, then there will be a transfer of the embryo (s) into the womb. The goal of IVF is to reproduce in laboratory the early stages of embryo development.

-How does it work?

-Firstly:

-On the one hand, ovarian drug stimulation +triggering of ovulation + oocyte retreival by vaginal guided ultrasound-

-From the other retreival and optimization of sperm the same day as oocyte retrieval.

-Secondly:

-Day 1: fertilization by contacting each oocyte collected with about 100,000 sperm..

-Day 2: monitoring by microscope fertilization or not?

-Day 3: qualitative review of embryo, then transfer of 2 to 3 embryos in utero.

-J15 dose of bétaHCG (pregnancy hormone)

-microinjection of intra cytoplasmic sperm: ICSI (intra cytoplasmic sperm injection) or IMSI

-As the title mentions, this technique is the injection of sperm directly into the oocyte cytoplasm, followed by embryo transfer (s) into the womb.

-The purpose of ICSI is to short-circuit the steps of fertilization (sperm penetration into the oocyte)

-How does it work?

-Sperm are collected either by ejaculation or by sampling intratesticular. sampling

-The oocytes are collected from the woman like an IVF.

-Direct injection of sperm into the oocyte aspirated.

-Embryo transfer in 48 hours

-embryo transfer

-Previously frozen embryos obtained either by IVF or ICSI are thawed and implanted.

-It is also possible to freeze embryos by IVF in couples where the woman has to undergo a sterilizing treatment.

-freezing ovaries

-In the context of potentially sterilizing treatment for women without a partner, it is possible to take samples of ovaries to produce follicles and later eggs in vitro.

What are the indications of the different techniques?

-The intrauterine insemination or artificial IA) overcomes the problems associated with ejaculation in the mucus, which prevents the sperm from circulating well.

-In vitro fertilization (IVF) bypasses the problems associated with lack of contact between egg and sperm. Problems with tubal patency, in particular.

-ICSI bypasses the problems of fertilization, and infertility in men

What are the main complications of MAP techniques?

-Complications related to ovarian stimulation: ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (thrombotic arterio-venous) twists annexes on hyperstimulated ovaries.

-psychological parental impact, by separation between reproductive and sexual union.

-complications of egg retrieval (perforation of organs abdominopelvic, vascular risk of wound)

-increased risk of ectopic pregnancy

-Multiple pregnancies

-ethical problems posed by excess embryos
