Supportive Therapies
There are various auxiliary methods applied in addition to the main treatment to increase the success of fertility treatments and to maximize the chance of pregnancy. These treatments are planned and personalized according to the individual needs of the patient and are generally aimed at balancing or improving factors such as hormone levels, intrauterine environment, and immune system.
1. Endometrial Support (Luteal Phase Support)
After embryo transfer, progesterone hormone support is given to make the intrauterine environment suitable for the embryo to attach. This support is usually administered in the form of a vaginal suppository, tablet or injection and continues until a pregnancy test is performed.
2. Thrombophilia and Immunological Assessment
In patients with a history of recurrent miscarriage or embryo failure, problems with the immune system or blood clotting may be investigated. If deemed necessary, special blood thinning treatments (aspirin, heparin) or immunomodulatory drugs may be used for these conditions.
3. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Application
In patients whose uterine lining is not thick enough, PRP prepared from the patient's own blood is applied into the uterus, aiming to thicken the endometrium and increase the implantation potential of the embryo.
4. Intralipid and IVIG Treatments
These are intravenous treatments used in fertility problems related to the immune system, especially in patients with high NK (natural killer cell) activity. They aim to support the intrauterine environment to become more "embryo friendly".
5. Acupuncture and Psychological Support
The treatment process can be emotionally as well as physically challenging. Acupuncture can support ovarian and uterine health by increasing blood flow, while psychological support can improve treatment compliance and overall well-being.
6. Coenzyme Q10, DHEA, Antioxidant Supports
Some supplements may be recommended to improve egg quality and slow down cellular aging. These supplements should be used under the supervision of a doctor and should be planned according to individual needs.
