This donation is part of third party reproduction, in which a pregnancy is the goal by in vitro fertilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An egg donor may be motivated by a number of reasons to donate her eggs. Some egg donors may feel that by donating they provide a benefit for another couple. Others may be helping an infertile couple that they know or decide to donate from another infertility experience. Some donors are attracted to the monetary compensation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women that are infertile may need an egg donor for any number of reasons. Infertile couples may need an egg donor because the female partner cannot have biological children due to her eggs being unfertile. Another problem which may cause couples to seek out an egg donor would be a genetic disorder that the couple does not wish to pass on to their child. Or the female partner may simply be past her child-bearing years and is unable to conceive because of menopause or age-related factors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Couples can recruit a donor that they know or use an anonymous donor. Couples can also choose an egg donor through a database with pictures, personality information, and a family medical history about the donor. All egg donors are extensively screened for a healthy medical history, and even recruited for potential characteristics such as a high IQ, college education, musical or athletic ability, and beauty. Some donors can gain higher monetary compensation for their services due to their exceptional abilities, some clinics even givie exceptional donors the ability to choose their price (up to $15,000) for their time and effort (particularly for ethnic donors that are in high demand). Higher monetary compensation is very common in states such as California, Arizona, and east coast states where Ivy League schools are present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the egg donor is accepted into the program (after doctor tests and a psychological exam), she undergoes the in vitro fertilization stimulation therapy. The IVF stimulation involves daily injections of fertility drugs to boost the production of the donor’s eggs. After several weeks of injections and doctor appointments, the final step for the donor is the egg retrieval procedure. The procedure involves retrieval through a needle inserted through the vaginal while the donor is sedated. After egg retrieval, the ova are fertilized by the sperm of the male partner in the laboratory, and after several days, the resulting embryo(s) is placed in the uterus of the female recipient. During this time, the donor and the recipient have been prepared for the embryo transfer. The female recipient will hopefully conceive and carry that baby to term. The recipients will raise the child as their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the inception of IVF treatments, egg donor recipients often have a 50% chance of success. Personal factors may affect the treatment, but success has been known by women of all ages and conditions. The oldest woman to give birth by egg donation was 66 years old. With advanced technology, fertility services can help many infertile couples conceive through an egg donor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Genevieve Bordeaux&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-175687034494329137?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/175687034494329137/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=175687034494329137' title='12 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/175687034494329137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/175687034494329137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/process-of-egg-donor.html' title='The Process of Egg Donor'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-4500428910109491031</id><published>2007-11-26T00:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-26T00:50:45.775-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Make a Test-Tube Baby</title><content type='html'>IVF is the scientific approach to getting pregnant. Originally termed "test-tube" babies by the Press, embryos are fertilized in the lab, removed from a human body. One attempt at pregnancy through IVF is termed a cycle, and can be divided into 5 general phases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Preparation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're body is manipulated with drugs. Doctors prescribe a medication such as Lupron to shut down your ovaries for two weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Stimulation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the Lupron series you will receive a set of up to 14 shots of another medication, such as pergonal, to hyperstimulate egg production. At the conclusion of these shots you will be given a final medication to boost maturity of your eggs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Harvesting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the eggs have reached maturity you are heavily sedated and between 5-15 eggs are suctioned from your ovaries via ultrasound guided vaginal retrieval.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Fertilization&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Egg and sperm meet each other for the first time in the lab. Approximately 100,000 motile sperm are introduced to each egg. Fertilization is documented and the growing embryos are carefully observed in vitro for up to 6 days. The growing trend is to observe growth longer, past the 6-8 cell stage, and blastocyst or advanced stage embryo transfer is not uncommon. There are several benefits to a blastocyst transfer, you might wish to ask your Reproductive team about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Embryo Transfer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom comes back in the picture as 3 or 4 growing embryos are transferred back into your uterus in a procedure that resembles a PAP smear. With any luck a new baby begins growing. On average it takes 3 IVF cycles to establish a pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a very brief draft of a typical IVF cycle, and it can be an expensive, invasive procedure. But for couples who are having trouble conceiving, IVF is a well-established, proven method to overcoming infertility. There are a million people out there who walking proof it works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Daniel Todd&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-4500428910109491031?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/4500428910109491031/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=4500428910109491031' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4500428910109491031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4500428910109491031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/make-test-tube-baby.html' title='Make a Test-Tube Baby'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-643998263042912878</id><published>2007-11-17T03:45:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-17T03:45:42.376-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bayi Tabung dari Sudut Pandang Hukum Perdata Indonesia</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Latar Belakang Munculnya Inseminasi Buatan (Bayi Tabung)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelayanan terhadap bayi tabung dalam dunia kedokteran dikenal dengan istilah fertilisasi-in-vitro yang memiliki pengertian sebagai berikut : Fertilisasi-in-vitro adalah pembuahan sel telur oleh sel sperma di dalam tabung petri yang dilakukan oleh petugas medis. Inseminasi buatan pada manusia sebagai suatu teknologi reproduksi berupa teknik menempatkan sperma di dalam vagina wanita, pertama kali berhasil dipraktekkan pada tahun 1970. Awal berkembangnya inseminasi buatan bermula dari ditemukannya teknik pengawetan sperma. Sperma bisa bertahan hidup lama bila dibungkus dalam gliserol yang dibenamkan dalam cairan nitrogen pada temperatur -321 derajat Fahrenheit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada mulanya program pelayanan ini bertujuan untuk menolong pasangan suami istri yang tidak mungkin memiliki keturunan secara alamiah disebabkan tuba falopii istrinya mengalami kerusakan yang permanen. Namun kemudian mulai ada perkembangan dimana kemudian program ini diterapkan pula pada pasutri yang memiliki penyakit atau kelainan lainnya yang menyebabkan tidak dimungkinkan untuk memperoleh keturunan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otto Soemarwoto dalam bukunya “Indonesia Dalam Kancah Isu Lingkungan Global”, dengan tambahan dan keterangan dari Drs. Muhammad Djumhana, S.H., menyatakan bahwa bayi tabung pada satu pihak merupakan hikmah. Ia dapat membantu pasangan suami istri yang subur tetapi karena suatu gangguan pada organ reproduksi, mereka tidak dapat mempunyai anak. Dalam kasus ini, sel telur istri dan sperma suami dipertemukan di luar tubuh dan zigot yang terjadi ditanam dalam kandungan istri. Dalam hal ini kiranya tidak ada pendapat pro dan kontra terhadap bayi yang lahir karena merupakan keturunan genetik suami dan istri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Akan tetapi seiring perkembangannya, mulai timbul persoalan dimana semula program ini dapat diterima oleh semua pihak karena tujuannya yang “mulia” menjadi pertentangan. Banyak pihak yang kontra dan pihak yang pro. Pihak yang pro dengan program ini sebagian besar berasal dari dunia kedokteran dan mereka yang kontra berasal dari kalangan alim ulama. Tulisan ini tidak akan membahas mengenai pro kontra yang ada tetapi akan membahas mengenai aspek hukum perdata yang menekankan pada status hukum dari si anak dan segala akibat yang mengikutinya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Proses Inseminasi Buatan (Bayi Tabung)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam melakukan fertilisasi-in-virto transfer embrio dilakukan dalam tujuh tingkatan dasar yang dilakukan oleh petugas medis, yaitu :&lt;br /&gt;1. Istri diberi obat pemicu ovulasi yang berfungsi untuk merangsang indung telur mengeluarkan sel telur yang diberikan setiap hari sejak permulaan haid dan baru dihentikan setelah sel-sel telurnya matang.&lt;br /&gt;2. Pematangan sel-sel telur sipantau setiap hari melalui pemeriksaan darah Istri dan pemeriksaan ultrasonografi.&lt;br /&gt;3. Pengambilan sel telur dilakukan dengan penusukan jarum (pungsi) melalui vagina dengan tuntunan ultrasonografi.&lt;br /&gt;4. Setelah dikeluarkan beberapa sel telur, kemudian sel telur tersebut dibuahi dengan sel sperma suaminya yang telah diproses sebelumnya dan dipilih yang terbaik.&lt;br /&gt;5. Sel telur dan sperma yang sudah dipertemukan di dalam tabung petri kemudian dibiakkan di dalam lemari pengeram. Pemantauan dilakukan 18-20 jam kemudian dan keesokan harinya diharapkan sudah terjadi pembuahan sel&lt;br /&gt;6. Embrio yang berada dalam tingkat pembelahan sel ini. Kemudian diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim istri. Pada periode ini tinggal menunggu terjadinya kehamilan.&lt;br /&gt;7. Jika dalam waktu 14 hari setelah embrio diimplantasikan tidak terjadi menstruasi, dilakukan pemeriksaan air kemih untuk kehamilan, dan seminggu kemudian dipastikan dengan pemeriksaan ultrasonografi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Permasalahan Hukum Perdata yang Timbul Dalam Inseminasi Buatan (Bayi Tabung)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inseminasi buatan menjadi permasalahan hukum dan etis moral bila sperma/sel telur datang dari pasangan keluarga yang sah dalam hubungan pernikahan. Hal ini pun dapat menjadi masalah bila yang menjadi bahan pembuahan tersebut diambil dari orang yang telah meninggal dunia. Permasalahan yang timbul antara lain adalah :&lt;br /&gt;1. Bagaimanakah status keperdataan dari bayi yang dilahirkan melalui proses inseminasi buatan?&lt;br /&gt;2. Bagaimanakah hubungan perdata bayi tersebut dengan orang tua biologisnya? Apakah ia mempunyai hak mewaris?&lt;br /&gt;3. Bagaimanakah hubungan perdata bayi tersebut dengan surogate mother-nya (dalam kasus terjadi penyewaan rahim) dan orang tua biologisnya? Darimanakah ia memiliki hak mewaris?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Tinjauan dari Segi Hukum Perdata Terhadap Inseminasi Buatan (Bayi Tabung)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jika benihnya berasal dari Suami Istri&lt;br /&gt;· Jika benihnya berasal dari Suami Istri, dilakukan proses fertilisasi-in-vitro transfer embrio dan diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim Istri maka anak tersebut baik secara biologis ataupun yuridis mempunyai satus sebagai anak sah (keturunan genetik) dari pasangan tersebut. Akibatnya memiliki hubungan mewaris dan hubungan keperdataan lainnya.&lt;br /&gt;· Jika ketika embrio diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim ibunya di saat ibunya telah bercerai dari suaminya maka jika anak itu lahir sebelum 300 hari perceraian mempunyai status sebagai anak sah dari pasangan tersebut. Namun jika dilahirkan setelah masa 300 hari, maka anak itu bukan anak sah bekas suami ibunya dan tidak memiliki hubungan keperdataan apapun dengan bekas suami ibunya. Dasar hukum ps. 255 KUHPer.&lt;br /&gt;· Jika embrio diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim wanita lain yang bersuami, maka secara yuridis status anak itu adalah anak sah dari pasangan penghamil, bukan pasangan yang mempunyai benih. Dasar hukum ps. 42 UU No. 1/1974 dan ps. 250 KUHPer. Dalam hal ini Suami dari Istri penghamil dapat menyangkal anak tersebut sebagai anak sah-nya melalui tes golongan darah atau dengan jalan tes DNA. (Biasanya dilakukan perjanjian antara kedua pasangan tersebut dan perjanjian semacam itu dinilai sah secara perdata barat, sesuai dengan ps. 1320 dan 1338 KUHPer.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jika salah satu benihnya berasal dari donor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Jika Suami mandul dan Istrinya subur, maka dapat dilakukan fertilisasi-in-vitro transfer embrio dengan persetujuan pasangan tersebut. Sel telur Istri akan dibuahi dengan Sperma dari donor di dalam tabung petri dan setelah terjadi pembuahan diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim Istri. Anak yang dilahirkan memiliki status anak sah dan memiliki hubungan mewaris dan hubungan keperdataan lainnya sepanjang si Suami tidak menyangkalnya dengan melakukan tes golongan darah atau tes DNA. Dasar hukum ps. 250 KUHPer.&lt;br /&gt;· Jika embrio diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim wanita lain yang bersuami maka anak yang dilahirkan merupakan anak sah dari pasangan penghamil tersebut. Dasar hukum ps. 42 UU No. 1/1974 dan ps. 250 KUHPer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jika semua benihnya dari donor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Jika sel sperma maupun sel telurnya berasal dari orang yang tidak terikat pada perkawinan, tapi embrio diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim seorang wanita yang terikat dalam perkawinan maka anak yang lahir mempunyai status anak sah dari pasangan Suami Istri tersebut karena dilahirkan oleh seorang perempuan yang terikat dalam perkawinan yang sah.&lt;br /&gt;· Jika diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim seorang gadis maka anak tersebut memiliki status sebagai anak luar kawin karena gadis tersebut tidak terikat perkawinan secara sah dan pada hakekatnya anak tersebut bukan pula anaknya secara biologis kecuali sel telur berasal darinya. Jika sel telur berasal darinya maka anak tersebut sah secara yuridis dan biologis sebagai anaknya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dari tinjauan yuridis menurut hukum perdata barat di Indonesia terhadap kemungkinan yang terjadi dalam program fertilisasi-in-vitro transfer embrio ditemukan beberapa kaidah hukum yang sudah tidak relevan dan tidak dapat meng-cover kebutuhan yang ada serta sudah tidak sesuai lagi dengan perkembangan yang ada khususnya mengenai status sahnya anak yang lahir dan pemusnahan kelebihan embrio yang diimplantasikan ke dalam rahim ibunya. Secara khusus, permasalahan mengenai inseminasi buatan dengan bahan inseminasi berasal dari orang yang sudah meninggal dunia, hingga saat ini belum ada penyelesaiannya di Indonesia. Perlu segera dibentuk peraturan perundang-undangan yang secara khusus mengatur penerapan teknologi fertilisasi-in-vitro transfer embrio ini pada manusia mengenai hal-hal apakah yang dapat dibenarkan dan hal-hal apakah yang dilarang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Kasus Inseminasi Buatan di Amerika Serikat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary Beth Whitehead sebagai ibu pengganti (surrogate mother) yang berprofesi sebagai pekerja kehamilan dari pasangan William dan Elizabeth Stern pada akhir tugasnya memutuskan untuk mempertahankan anak yang dilahirkannya itu. Timbul sengketa diantara mereka yang kemudian oleh Pengadilan New Jersey, ditetapkan bahwa anak itu diserahkan dalam perlindungan ayah biologisnya, sementara Mrs. Mary Beth Whitehead (ibu pengganti) diberi hak untuk mengunjungi anak tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Negara Lain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negara yang memberlakukan hukum islam sebagai hukum negaranya, tidak diperbolehkan dilakukannya inseminasi buatan dengan donor dan dan sewa rahim. Negara Swiss melarang pula dilakukannya inseminasi buatan dengan donor. Sedangkan Lybia dalam perubahan hukum pidananya tanggal 7 Desember 1972 melarang semua bentuk inseminasi buatan. Larangan terhadap inseminasi buatan dengan sperma suami didasarkan pada premis bahwa hal itu sama dengan usaha untuk mengubah rancangan ciptaan Tuhan.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-643998263042912878?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/643998263042912878/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=643998263042912878' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/643998263042912878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/643998263042912878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/bayi-tabung-dari-sudut-pandang-hukum.html' title='Bayi Tabung dari Sudut Pandang Hukum Perdata Indonesia'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-1274045771189561582</id><published>2007-11-16T22:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T22:31:23.434-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Some Causes of Infertility in Woman</title><content type='html'>There are many factors that will relate how a woman develops infertility. While it is prevalent among Americans, no data can truly present the actual intensity or prevalence of this condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Infertility is definitely not a physical disease. Unlike simpler conditions like flu or the more complex ones such as those of cancer, symptoms of infertility are not focused on the obvious signs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, a woman need not undergo a series of comprehensive tests and examinations before she can truly be diagnosed of infertility. The same goes with men only differing in one thing, male infertility is much more difficult to be spotted unless obvious presentations of erectile dysfunction are seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or PID&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is presumed to be the most common cause of infertility. This arises from internal infections that are caused by bacteria penetrating into the internal reproductive organs of a female. The typical organs affected are those surrounding the pelvic area but when aggravated, infections may also radiate into the neighboring intestines. Infertility associated with PID is definite if the portion affected is the fallopian tube, a condition that is medically termed as salpingitis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Endometriosis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to data gathered from medical literature, nearly 30% of all infertility cases in women is covered by this condition. This is characterized with the presence of the endometrial tissue in parts other than the uterus. This tissue is the one women discharge during menstrual cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having this condition however does not actually suggest the likelihood of being unable to conceive. But it may largely contribute to the development of the disease&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the condition characterized by the over-production of androgens in the female's system. This occurrence will drive the lowering in the release of other hormones such as Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Luteinizing Hormone which will eventually caused the stoppage of mature egg production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early Menopause or Premature Ovarian Failure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the premature depletion of follicles in women during ages prior to her 40th years. This is characterized by long periods of irregular menstrual flow. This condition is very much comparable with true menopause since both impede a woman to produce eggs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is rarely the case among infertile women. This is identified when there is 'no' production of LH and FSH. Thus, the impossibility of developing egg cells. There are actually no physical symptoms that will help conclude the presence of this condition. Most cases of Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism fall under unknown infertility cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Low Jeremy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-1274045771189561582?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/1274045771189561582/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=1274045771189561582' title='6 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/1274045771189561582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/1274045771189561582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/some-causes-of-infertility-in-woman.html' title='Some Causes of Infertility in Woman'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-4198403276244815583</id><published>2007-11-16T22:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T22:07:04.895-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Perokok punya Bayi Tabung Sehat?</title><content type='html'>Rokok berkaitan erat dengan kemampuan reproduksi. Salah satunya, adalah kemampuan seorang pria untuk menghasilkan sperma yang berkualitas. Berbagai penelitian membuktikan bahwa rokok bisa menurunkan kualitas sperma. Ini sangat masuk akal mengingat dalam sebatang rokok terdapat sekitar 4.000 partikel kimia yang berbahaya bagi tubuh alias beracun.&lt;br /&gt;    Secara sederhana dapat dijelaskan bahwa racun dalam rokok ini bisa masuk ke testis, sehingga mengganggu perkembangan sperma. Partikel tersebut masuk ke darah dan semen. "Kondisi pada sperma akibat rokok itu bisa dilihat dari jumlah spermanya yang berkurang, gerakannya menjadi lambat, dan bentuknya menjadi jelek," jelas embriologis dari Klinik Infertilitas Permata Hati RS Dr Sardjito, dr Ita Fauzia Hanoum, MCE.&lt;br /&gt;Ada penelitian yang bisa membuktikan kalaupun bentuk sperma tidak bermasalah, kemudian gerakannya tidak terlalu berpengaruh, jumlahnya juga tidak terlalu turun, tetapi DNA-nya rusak. Jadi, kata dia, sekarang yang menjadi perhatian para perokok, terutama perokok berat, adalah kemungkinan tidak punya anak. &lt;br /&gt;    Penelitian yang mengemukakan bahwa rokok dapat mempengaruhi kualitas sel DNA sperma pria banyak membuat papa pria tersebut memilih jalur bayi tabung dalam hal memperoleh keturunan, tapi lewat proses bayi tabung-pun, DNA sel sperma yang sudah rusak akan tetap mempengaruhi proses kelahiran bayi tabung.&lt;br /&gt;Kerusakan DNA itu bisa mempengaruhi banyak hal, bisa yang minor sampai ke mayor.&lt;br /&gt;    "Angka keguguran menjadi tinggi. Kalau ayah dan ibunya merokok, kontribusinya menjadi dua, tetapi kalau ibunya tidak merokok, angka kegugurannya karena DNA ayahnya rusak," tandasnya. Parahnya lagi, kalau si ibu tidak mengalami keguguran dan anak lahir hidup, anaknya mungkin ada kecacatan tertentu. "Apalagi bila si isteri usainya sudah lanjut, suami merokok, angka kecacatan anaknya akan semakin tinggi," jelasnya.&lt;br /&gt;    Di Klinik Permata Hati belum dilakukan penelitian tentang hubungan laki-laki yang ikut program bayi tabung dengan perilaku merokok, tetapi mereka selalu ditanya apakah mereka merokok atau tidak. Disarankan pula kepada para suami perokok yang ikut program bayi tabung agar tidak merokok. ''Memang ada yang mempertimbangkan hal itu, tetapi sebagian besar menganggap tidak ada pengaruhnya dan tidak peduli. Mereka tetap merokok. Padahal pendidikan mereka menengah ke atas,'' ungkap Ita. Dari hasil penelitian juga didapatkan bahwa suami perokok kemampuan untuk menghamili isterinya lebih lambat daripada suami yang tidak merokok. Kalaupun sang istri bisa hamil, masalah lain akan menanti di depan mata. Maka dari itu cara bayi tabung pun tetap tidak akan memberikan hasil yang baik jika anda tetap merokok.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-4198403276244815583?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/4198403276244815583/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=4198403276244815583' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4198403276244815583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4198403276244815583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/perokok-punya-bayi-tabung-sehat.html' title='Perokok punya Bayi Tabung Sehat?'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-3762246723068636877</id><published>2007-11-16T04:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T04:41:33.246-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bayi Tabung Lebih Pintar?</title><content type='html'>Penelitian pertama terhadap anak-anak usia delapan tahun dari hasil pembuahan melalui metode intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) atau bayi tabung menunjukkan bahwa mereka rata-rata memiliki tingkat intelegensi yang lebih baik daripada anak-anak hasil reproduksi normal. Hal tersebut menolak anggapan bahwa teknik tersebut tidak seaman metode in vitro vertilization (IVF) standar yang biasa dipakai untuk menghasilkan bayi tabung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ICSI dilakukan dengan menyuntikkan sperma secara langsung ke dalam sel telur, berbeda dengan IVF standar yang hanya meletakkan sperma sedekat mungkin dengan sel telur, tanpa disuntikkan, agar dapat melakukan pembuahan secara alami.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beberapa penelitian pendahuluan yang dilakukan sejak 1998 melaporkan bahwa anak-anak hasil bayi tabung/ICSI usia satu tahun terlambat berkembang dibandingkan anak-anak yang normal. Sehingga keamanan teknik tersebut sempat diragukan. Tapi, penelitian yang lebih lama terhadap anak usia lima tahun, tidak ditemukan perbedaan tingkat perkembangan yang signifikan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baru-baru ini, tim yang dipimpin Lize Leunens dari Free University of Brussels (VUB) di Belgia membandingkan antara tingkat intelegensi dan kemampuan motorik terhadap 151 anak hasil bayi tabung usia delapan tahun dengan 153 anak hasil pembuahan normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hasilnya, tidak ada perbedaan dalam kemampuan motorik dan anak-anak ICSI memiliki nilai tes intelegensi yang lebih tinggi daripada yang  normal. Leunens memaparkan hasil penelitiannya dalam pertemuan tahunan Perkumpulan Reproduksi Manusia dan Embriologi Eropa di Kopenhagen, Denmark, Selasa (21/6).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kami sangat gembira karena dalam jangka panjang anak-anak hasil bayi tabung tersebut tidak menderita kemunduran dalam perkembangannya," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam penelitian tersebut, tidak ada perbedaan level pendidikan dari ibunya, yang diketahui mempengaruhi tingkat intelegensi seorang anak. Oleh karena itu Leunens berpendapat bahwa alasan yang dapat menerangkan adalah motivasi yang lebih besar dari ibu yang mengandung bayi ICSI. "Ibu yang mengandung bayi ICSI ini mungkin mendedikasikan dirinya secara khusus sebagai orang tua," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain itu, penjelasan yang masuk akal juga disampaikan menanggapi kemunduran tingkat perkembangan pada bayi ICSI yang berusia sangat muda. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ibu bayi ICSI lebih suka membesarkan anaknya di rumah daripada mengirimkan ke playgroup atau berinteraksi dengan orang lain, kondisi yang mungkin menyebabkan kemunduran dalam perkembangan sosial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tapi, penelitian ini bukanlah jawaban terakhir. Penelitian lain menunjukkan bahwa penolakan banyak orang tua untuk mengijinkan anaknya diteliti, mungkin agak menurunkan kepercayaan hasil penelitian Leunens. Faktanya, sepertiga orangtua anak-anak ICSI menolak berpartisipasi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tanpa mengesampingkan kemungkinan-kemungkinan yang lain, Leunens menyatakan bahwa hasil penelitian tidak berbeda dengan kondisi yang dipaparkan orang tua melalui wawancara telepon. Ia juga menekankan bahwa penelitiannnya tidak melihat masalah kesehatan yang lain.(NewScientist.com/Wah)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-3762246723068636877?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/3762246723068636877/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=3762246723068636877' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/3762246723068636877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/3762246723068636877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/bayi-tabung-lebih-pintar.html' title='Bayi Tabung Lebih Pintar?'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-6202225891819879297</id><published>2007-11-16T04:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T04:33:30.545-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tehnik Bayi Tabung: Bedah Laparoskopik</title><content type='html'>Dalam proses bayi tabung secara ICSI, GIFT atau ZIFT seringkali ada operasi bedah laparoskopik (laparoscopic surgery). Ini adalah sedikit pembahasan mengenai laparoscopic surgery tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operasi bedah laparoskopik merupakan teknik bedah yang dilakukan dengan cara membuat lubang kecil di dinding perut dan mengangkat kandung empedu dengan instrumen khusus menggunakan sistem endokamera melalui layar monitor.&lt;br /&gt;Operasi ini digunakan dalam prosedur bayi tabung untuk memasukkan sel telur yang sudah dibuahi oleh sel sperma dan berkembang menjadi zigot ke dalam tuba fallopi si pasien wanita untuk kemudian agar dapat tumbuh secara alamiah menjadi bayi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Efek bedah laparoskopik merupakan kebalikan dari efek bedah konvensional yang seringkali menimbulkan rasa nyeri pasca operasi, munculnya bekas pembedahan, masa pulih yang lambat, dan masa rawat yang panjang. Efek laparoskopik ini yaitu rasa nyeri yang minimal, masa rawat pendek, masa pulih cepat serta luka parut yang minimal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Angka kematian pada sistem operasi bedah ini tercatat nihil, sedangkan penyulit dan konversi ke bedah konvensional kurang dari satu persen. Bedah laparoskopik sendiri merupakan teknik bedah invasif minimal yang menggunakan sistem endokamera, pneumoperitoneum dan instrumen khusus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pembedahan dilakukan di dalam rongga abdomen melalui layar monitor tanpa melihat dan menyentuh langsung organ yang dioperasi.

Imagine if you could choose your child's eye color, hair color, IQ level, and even his interests. Imagine a world where everyone is perfectly healthy and wise IQ-wise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This seems like a scene from a science fiction movie? Well, it might be possible in the near future to the promotion of preimplantation genetic diagnosis or PGD. PGD is a procedure in which the embryo is genetically tested to be free of the disease and then implanted in the mother using invitro fertilization (IVF).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents can now choose to have the ultimate child who excelled in both studies and sports. We all got a glimpse of IPRs in the 1997 film Gattaca where genetic engineering and IVF enabled engineering children, including factors such as gender, intelligence, life and even eliminate several genetic and hereditary diseases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the DPI does not exist only in science fiction films. In fact, the DPI continues to develop in an exciting technology with the incredible potential to increase women's opportunities and not just a healthy pregnancy, but a healthy infant as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DPI has been made famous by Dr. Jeffrey Nisker, the University of Ontario. He launched the IPR, and was the first person in Canada to offer such a procedure revolutionary engineering manually embryos. Since then, he has stopped its program and closed down due to overwhelming requests from across Canada to access PGD, not to avoid serious genetic conditions for sex selection, but above all to avoid having a daughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is against its concern and belief that all children should be cherished, regardless of their sex. Among the cases in which the DPI was made, when a couple needed the procedure of having a baby with the right genetic makeup to save the life of their son. Leanne and Stephen needed the procedure to save their first-born, BJ, who suffers from a rare genetic disease, Hyper IGM. BJ is missing a vital part of his immune system and survives only through blood transfusions regularly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The child needs to be free of disease and of the same sex as BJ, only then they can be assured that the tissue can be transplanted to the newborn BJ. The procedure is long and tedious with Leanne and Stephen go through a roller coaster of emotions that the fertilized eggs are extracted and then sent for testing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few rounds missing, Leanne and Stephen made a hit and the embryo was transplanted into Leanne. Soon, their baby will arrive, bringing aid and hope to his older brother and parents! The DPI has nevertheless raised some ethical concerns of society, especially with regard to its potential and who should decide how to use this revolutionary new technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The procedure allows parents to determine the sex of the embryo, and thus can be used to select the sex of an embryo, preferably to another within the framework of "family balancing".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company also raised the issue of doctors and scientific "playing God", which interferes with the natural shape of the design can have a major impact on our planet in the future.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;By: Michael Russell&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-1446543119815773617?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/1446543119815773617/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=1446543119815773617' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/1446543119815773617'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/1446543119815773617'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/designing-your-baby-through-pdg.html' title='Designing Your Baby through PDG'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-1599913379261460489</id><published>2007-11-11T23:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-11T23:52:29.876-08:00</updated><title type='text'>How Acupuncture Affect IVF</title><content type='html'>A number of reasons have been shown how acupuncture affects the outcome of in vitro fertilization, or IVF. Acupuncture has been shown to positively affect the level of the ovary and pituitary hormones while the electro-acupuncture treatment showed will lead to better and improved blood flow within the uterine arteries of women are infertile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conjunction with IVF therapy of acupuncture modern, as a complementary therapy, is increasingly common. Studies have shown that acupuncture helps patients respond better to medication and improving pregnancy rates and leading healthy eggs. Many women who have had problems with high levels of FSH or who have suffered a miscarriage are advised that acupuncture is the answer to their problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pregnancy rate higher couples experiencing difficulty in conceiving through traditional methods are turning to other techniques to help them have a child and one of the most widely used reproductive therapies currently used is in vitro fertilization. IVF is the process of harvesting eggs from a woman, then fertilization with sperm in a laboratory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some studies have shown that pregnancy rates increase by as much as 40 per cent for women undergoing acupuncture treatment in addition to IVF. Acupuncture makes the uterus more receptive to the implantation, which is one of the main reasons attributed to the higher rates of success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a side note, for women who decide to combine acupuncture with IVF, it seems that it is preferable to undergo acupuncture treatment, in the afternoon, before transferring embryos, as well as in in the afternoon or the day after the transfer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many women find IVF be a source of stress and anxiety-ridden experience. These factors often result in undermining the success of IVF. However, on a positive note, a 2002 German study reported that 34 out of 80 women who have been the subject of an IVF and were also receiving acupuncture got pregnant-a success rate of 42.5 for cent. For non - this may not be very rational, but anything when compared to women undergoing IVF treatment as (no acupuncture), the pregnancy rate for those using the 'acupuncture is much higher.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-1599913379261460489?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/1599913379261460489/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=1599913379261460489' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/1599913379261460489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/1599913379261460489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-acupuncture-affect-ivf.html' title='How Acupuncture Affect IVF'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-1850328235980756896</id><published>2007-11-09T04:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-09T04:49:10.404-08:00</updated><title type='text'>4 Factors Affecting Pregnancy After Tubal Reversal Surgery</title><content type='html'>There are many factors which will need to be taken into consideration by a woman after tubal reversal surgery has been carried and she is looking to conceive. Certainly for some women once the procedure has been carried out they find they become pregnant quite quickly afterwards, but for others it will take some time. There are a number of different factors a woman will need to consider in relation to her pregnancy after tubal reversal actually being successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably the first thing to consider when considering getting pregnant whether having had your tubes tied or not has to do with age. Even if a woman has not undergone a tubal ligation, the older she is the more likely it will be that she will have a problem conceiving. This is just a fact of life, though you will have heard of some women getting pregnant at what some would consider an advanced age. It just boils down to the younger you are when having your tubal reversal surgery, the higher the probability of getting pregnant after tubal reversal is done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A twenty-something woman will find her chances of conceiving after tubal reversal is about 77%. As you get older the probability drops as we stated before. A female that is between thirty-five and thirty-nine finds the probability falls to 62%. For a woman over forty, the conception rate falls even further to 34%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next factor that plays a part in getting pregnant after a tubal ligation reversal procedure is how long the fallopian tubes were left from the original tube tying procedure. The more the doctor has to work with the better the chances are. Some will find they conceive quickly but others will take five years or more. The condition of the fallopian tubes, the length they were left and thus what the doctor has left to reconnect, and how well they are reconnected all play a part in how soon you can get pregnant and what your chances of getting pregnant are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long since the tubal ligation surgery was carried out? - Unfortunately the longer a woman waits in order to get her tubal ligation procedure reversed will greatly reduce her chances of being able to conceive easily. This is because the longer they wait the more damage will have been caused to their fallopian tubes, which in turn reduces the chances of the operation actually being successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Tubal Reversal a better option than IVF? - In a number of studies that have been carried out over the years relating to this matter, many women have found that having tubal reversal surgery rather than under going IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment has been more successful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One such study from the Chapel Hill Reversal Center, where they keep excellent track of their patients, it was discovered that the women who had the tubal reversal done, instead of the IVF treatments, conceived more easily. In addition, the number of actual babies born after they became pregnant, was higher for the tubal reversal surgery than for those who underwent IVF. Even better is that the reversal surgery is done generally on an outpatient basis with only about an hour in surgery thus lowering the cost of this treatment versus the IVF treatment which can take many tries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these items above need to be considered when you are making your decision concerning tubal ligation reversal. Keep it all in mind when you are looking at pregnancy after tubal reversal as any of the factors, or indeed all of the factors, could have an impact on your ability to conceive and have the child you are dreaming of. However, the factors affect you, this could still be your best bet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright 2007 Sandra Wilson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/claim/t8u3f5e36w" rel="me"&gt;Technorati Profile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-1850328235980756896?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/1850328235980756896/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=1850328235980756896' title='3 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/1850328235980756896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/1850328235980756896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/4-factors-affecting-pregnancy-after.html' title='4 Factors Affecting Pregnancy After Tubal Reversal Surgery'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-6431647184962017501</id><published>2007-11-06T21:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T22:16:32.660-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tehnik Bayi Tabung: Sperma Kosong</title><content type='html'>Pada proses bayi tabung, bagaimana jika ada sperma yang kosong? kosong disini maksudnya&lt;br /&gt;Pada kasus cairan air mani tanpa sperma (azoospermia), mungkin akibat penyumbatan atau gangguan saluran sperma, kini bisa dilakukan pengambilan sperma dengan teknik operasi langsung pada saluran air mani atau testis. Tekniknya ada dua, MESA (Microsurgical Sperm Aspiration) dan TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction). Pada MESA, sperma diambil dari tempat sperma dimatangkan dan disimpan (epididimis). Sedangkan pada TESE, sperma langsung diambil dari testis yang merupakan pabrik sperma. Setelah sperma diambil, dipilih yang paling baik. Selanjutnya, dilakukan langkah-langkah menurut prosedur ICSI. Teknik ini juga sudah diterapkan di RSAB Harapan Kita sejak 1996 dan telah berhasil melahirkan dua anak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seperti di negara lain, sejak 1992 Indonesia sudah melakukan simpan beku embrio. Perangsangan indung telur wanita pada prosedur bayi tabung memungkinkan terbentuknya banyak embrio. Tidak mungkin semua embrio ditransfer ke dalam rahim pada saat bersamaan. Embrio yang untuk sementara tidak digunakan dapat disimpan dengan cara kriopreservasi, yang selanjutnya disimpan dalam tabung berisi cairan nitrogen pada suhu 196oC di bawah nol derajat. Kapasitas tabung sekitar 100 embrio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simpan beku embrio ini menghemat biaya karena pasangan tidak perlu lagi mengulang proses pengerjaan dari awal lagi bila embrio berikutnya perlu ditanamkan kembali. Tidak seperti di Barat, embrio ataupun sperma yang tersimpan beku di Indonesia hanya diperuntukkan bagi pasutri yang bersangkutan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salah satu contoh keberhasilan teknik penyimpanan embrio bisa ditemukan di Belgia. Baru-baru ini lahir seorang bayi laki-laki sehat hasil penanaman embrio yang sudah dibekukan selama 7,5 tahun dari pasangan lain (anonim). Bayi yang dibantu kelahirannya oleh dr. Michael Vermesh ini beratnya 4 kg. Daya tahan embrio yang dibekukan bisa puluhan tahun dan tetap bisa menjadi bayi sehat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teknologi reproduksi in vitro ternyata sangat membantu pasangan yang mengalami gangguan reproduksi. Mengupayakan pasutri agar bisa mempunyai anak sungguh merupakan perbuatan mulia dan membahagiakan, sekalipun pembuahannya dilakukan di laboratorium. Seperti halnya Louise Brown, mungkin banyak anak yang dilahirkan melalui teknik ini ikut bersyukur bahwa kedua orang tuanya mengikuti program itu.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-6431647184962017501?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/6431647184962017501/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=6431647184962017501' title='1 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/6431647184962017501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/6431647184962017501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/facing-stress-of-ivf.html' title='Tehnik Bayi Tabung: Sperma Kosong'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-3269303511702473307</id><published>2007-11-04T00:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-04T00:26:38.636-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Avoid The Common Traps And Increase Your Chance Of Success</title><content type='html'>IVF Clinics – Avoid the common traps and increase your chance of getting pregnant!&lt;br /&gt;There are so many fertility clinics licensed to practice assisted reproductive technologies and help couples achieve their dream of a baby. With plenty to choose from it is apparent they are not all created equal and the playing field is by no means level. Pregnancy success rates can range from 10% to 60%, which means that the fertility clinic you choose is one of the most important factors to maximizing your chances of conceiving. AND the decision is all down to you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world of infertility is daunting. Initially you find out that the prospect that having children may not be as straightforward as you originally thought. Then having digested this shocking news, you have to find the best ways to help you get pregnant. Finding the right team of people to do this is the key to your success. It is so easy to make simple mistakes and these mistakes could cost you the difference of being pregnant or not! I fell into some of these traps because I was naïve and placed my future in the hands of the professionals and when it failed, I took that matter into my own hands and became an expert of fertility clinics that could best help us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it is true that most of us carefully scrutinize items of great importance like a future house or car purchase, when the stakes are much higher, we tend to throw all caution and logic to one side. This is the case with fertility. When it comes to someone providing you with the slightest glimmer of hope of becoming a parent, inevitably you will take a blind leap of faith. IVF treatment is an addictive process simply because of your hunger for success – that little baby! This is why choosing the right clinic from the beginning is one of the most important decisions you will make. If you get it right, you will be on your way to enjoying parenthood. If you get it wrong, you have one hell of a roller coaster ride ahead of you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common traps to avoid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Location&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people choose the nearest clinic to their home. This understandable as throughout the fertility treatment you will need to go back and forth, sometimes several times a day. But it is a mistake to choose a clinic solely on this basis. There are other important factors, which must come into the equation. If the ideal clinic for you, after all your research has been completed is a clinic 200 miles away, investigate the possibility of staying with friends, or a local hotel for a few weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Hearsay and recommendation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choosing a clinic solely on the fact that you heard a doctor there was ‘ good’ or you know someone who went there and has had success is also wrong. Sure, it provides a good place to start but again your research must go beyond this to identify what the clinic can do for you. Every couple’s circumstances is different and what works for one couple, may not work for another. Bear this in mind when researching the types of treatments available at each clinic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Referral from Doctor or Gynaecologist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After completing your initial investigative tests, your doctor will undoubtedly have a conversation with you about what happens next. So far you have invested all your trust in your doctor and naturally respect his/her choice of clinic. Often, a doctors referral will be based on hearsay or anecdotal information. Certainly research your doctors recommendation but if the clinic does not suit you and your partner, do not feel pressured into it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Cost&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is our nature to seek out a good deal. When it comes to fertility treatment there is no such thing as a good deal. The cost of treatment bears no relation to the clinics’ success rate. What does pay off is the time you invest in researching and asking the right questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Repeat treatment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may already have completed one cycle of treatment at a chosen clinic and wish to try again. Do not feel under pressure to use the same clinic for your next attempt. If it has not worked the first time, there may be a valid reason for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Marina Nicholas&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-3269303511702473307?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/3269303511702473307/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=3269303511702473307' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/3269303511702473307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/3269303511702473307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/11/avoid-common-traps-and-increase-your.html' title='Avoid The Common Traps And Increase Your Chance Of Success'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-7493599236095781910</id><published>2007-10-28T23:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-28T23:12:23.608-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Do You Qualify for IVF?</title><content type='html'>The growing popularity of reproductive treatments has made patients much more aware of options like in vitro fertilization. The internet and other media streams allow potential candidates to do extensive research on infertility treatments even before they visit their doctor. While this new breed of educated patient is considered a good thing, it is important to remember that only a doctor can recommend the right infertility treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because in vitro approaches receive so much publicity, some couples are disappointed when they find out they don’t qualify. To clarify who is eligible, here are some of the common conditions treated with IVF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Endometriosis is a condition where additional tissue forms outside of the uterus, sometimes causing interference with other organs. Depending on the severity, this condition can prevent fertilization. By using IVF tactics to fertilize the egg outside of the body, doctors can sometimes bypass the negative affects of endometriosis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Low sperm counts in males decrease the chances of fertilization simply through a numbers game. The higher the sperm count, the more likely that a healthy sperm will reach the egg. IVF is used in these cases to join the egg and sperm together manually to guarantee a perfect union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Fallopian tube or uterus issues are another qualification factor for in vitro fertilization. When these components are damaged or not working properly, it is nearly impossible for a woman to conceive. While any form of fertility treatment involving these cases are not a sure bet, sometimes it is the only option for couples who are seeking pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Unexplained instances of infertility can also be treated with IVF. In these cases, doctors perform a variety of tests to determine the cause of the problem. If the results of the testing come back negative, then the case is considered to be unexplained. Typically, this rare scenario is treated with less invasive options such as fertility drugs or hormone therapy. However, if these solutions don’t work, then IVF becomes another possibility for the couple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The preceding conditions are the most common qualifying factors for use of in vitro fertilization. All of them carry a similar trait in that the process of fertilization within the body is impaired in some way. Since IVF fertilizes a woman’s egg with the male’s sperm outside of the body, it can significantly improve chances of a successful pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only a doctor can properly recommend IVF therapy. Prospective couples interested in pursuing this technique should start with a visit to their medical provider to learn all of their options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By: Thomas Galley&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-7493599236095781910?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/7493599236095781910/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=7493599236095781910' title='1 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/7493599236095781910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/7493599236095781910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/10/do-you-qualify-for-ivf.html' title='Do You Qualify for IVF?'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-7424125491340482709</id><published>2007-10-27T05:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T05:48:51.651-07:00</updated><title type='text'>IVF After 40</title><content type='html'>Forty may be the new thirty and fifty may be the new forty but nobody told our reproductive systems. And never has society provided more assistance in convincing us of our new younger status, via the mega industries of cosmetic enhancement and reproductive assistance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Botox is to the face what IVF is to the ovaries – they both involve needles, both hurt like hell but one has a far greater success rate. No prizes for guessing which one. It’s far easier in your forties to look like Nicollette Sheridan than to reproduce like Cherie Blair. And the success rates with IVF, the most assisted of assisted reproductive techniques, is negligibly more than natural rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance at 45, there is a one percent chance of getting pregnant at all and then at least a fifty percent chance of miscarrying. The chances of IVF success between 40 and 45 is averaged out at ten percent but really starts at this and diminishes dramatically each year which is why many clinics will not perform a cycle for women over 42 using their own eggs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say it’s due to not wanting to take large sums of money in return for little or no hope but possibly they don’t want to deflate their own success rates as it isn’t good for business and this is understandable - they need business in order to improve their services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time I was ready to embark on fresh rounds of IVF at the age of 41, having succeeded at 38*, my potential success rate had practically halved and the potential miscarriage rate had risen by fifty percent – hardly encouraging. Yet had I not been lucky enough to conceive a child already, no doubt I’d be in California now, having mortgaged my house and busy organizing an egg donor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can turn back the clock in so many ways but our eggs remain the same. I can only assume that in future more women will freeze their eggs when young, having learnt from a generation of women who found themselves, via modern circumstance, able to rid themselves of frown lines but unable to conceive a child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Jodi Panayotov&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-7424125491340482709?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/7424125491340482709/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=7424125491340482709' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/7424125491340482709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/7424125491340482709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/10/ivf-after-40.html' title='IVF After 40'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-537585373687722</id><published>2007-10-13T03:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-13T03:37:48.672-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Perkembangan Bayi Tabung: Metode Pemilihan Gender (Sex Selection)</title><content type='html'>Apakah anda memimpikan mempunyai anak laki-laki yang gagah atau anak perempuan yang lucu?. Dulu hal ini mungkin akan terjadi atau malah sebaliknya tapi sekarang sebuah tehnologi baru dalam bayi tabung (in vitro fertilization) akan memberikan anda kesempatan dalam memilih jenis kelamin anak anda kelak. Pemilihan gender ini sekarang sedang hangat-hangatnya diperdebatkan dari segi etnis, moral maupun kelegalannya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pemilihan gender adalah sebuah metode yang digunakan untuk memiliki anak sesuai dengan jenis kelamin yang dikehendaki. Setiap sel telur memiliki satu kromosom X sementara sel sperma mengandung kromosom Y dan X.  Ketika sel sperma dengan dominasi kromosom X membuahi sel telur maka akan melahirkan bayi perempuan dan sebaliknya, jika kromosom Y lebih dominan maka akan melahirkan bayi laki-laki. Maka peluang untuk melahirkan bayi laki-laki maupun perempuan adalah 50:50.&lt;br /&gt;Tehnik pemilihan gender ini sudah ada sejak zaman Mesir Kuno. Dahulu, pemilihan gender dipengaruhi oleh posisi dalam hubungan seks, ketepatan waktu atau makanan khusus yang diberikan selama masa kehamilan. Tapi metode ini tidak didasari oleh penelitian ilmiah yang kuat dan sama sekali tidak meningkatkan peluang untuk memilih jenis kelamin bayi yang akan lahir kelak. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Alasan-alasan umum melakukan metode pemilihan gender:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Penyakit Keturunan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beberapa penyakit keturunan berhubungan dengan jenis kelamin, seperti anak laki-laki yang rentan terhadap hemophilia dan pelemahan otot, maka para orang tua biasanya lebih memilih bayi perempuan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Keseimbangan Keluarga&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasangan yang sudah memiliki anak biasanya ingin memiliki anak lagi dengan jenis kelamin yang berbeda yaitu untuk 'menyeimbangkan' keluarganya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Kematian Anak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beberapa orang tua kehilangan anaknya di usia yang masih sangat muda. Metode pemilihan gender ini akan memberikan kesempatan pada orang tua untuk memiliki anak dengan jenis kelamin yang sama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Alasan Lain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adat istiadat, ekonomi keluarga dan alasan sosial lainnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Metode Pemilihan Gender:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Metode Gradient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;merupakan salah satu metode yang paling sederhana dalam teknologi pemilihan gender. Sel sperma yang sudah ditampung kemudian diletakkan dalam mesin pemutar yang disebut Centrifuge. Dengan melalui proses pemutaran, sel sperma akan memisahkan kromosom Y dari kromosom X, yang lebih berat karena adanya materi genetik lainnya. Sel sperma yang dikehendaki kemudian akan digunakan dalam proses bayi tabung (in vitro fertlization) selanjutnya.&lt;br /&gt;Metode gradient ini memiliki tingkat keberhasilan yang rendah tapi juga hanya memerlukan biaya yang lebih sedikit dari metode pemilihan gender lainnya.&lt;br /&gt;Biaya: $600 per Cycle of IUI &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Flow Cytometry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;merupakan tehnik pemisahan sel sperma yang menggunakan fluorescent dye (substansi yang berguna untuk merubah warna) untuk menandai sperma yang mengandung kromosom X. Substansi ini menempel cepat pada materi genetik yang mengandung sperma. Karena sel sperm yang mengandung kromosom X lebih banyak memiliki materi genetik maka fluorescent dye ini akan menempel lebih banyak pada sel sperma ini dibandingkan dengan sel sperma yang mengandung kromosom Y. Kemudian mesin laser digunakan untuk memisahkan dua macam sel sperma tersebut yang lalu akan digunakan untuk proses bayi tabung. &lt;br /&gt;Tingkat keberhasilan dari tehnik Flow Cytometry ini cukup tinggi, yaitu 60-70%.&lt;br /&gt;Biaya: - ( terbatas untuk penelitian FDA)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PGD adalah metode yang terbaik dalam hal pemilihan gender. Metode ini merupakan prosedur yang rumit yang melibatkan penciptaan embrio yang kemudian dianalisis struktur sel dan DNA-nya. Embrio yang diciptakan dalam laboratorium dan kemudian membelah diri, lalu setelah 3-4 hari, satu sel dari setiap embrio yang membelah akan dipindahkan dan dianalisis DNA dan materi genetika-nya. Setelah jenis kelamin embrio tersebut diketahui, maka hanya embrio yang berjenis kelamin yang diinginkanlah yang kemudian akan diimplantasikan kedalam uterus si pasien melalui prosedur IVF.&lt;br /&gt;Tingkat keberhasilan PGD nyaris sempurna, yaitu sekitar 99%.&lt;br /&gt;Biaya: $2,000 - $4,000 (exclude IVF procedures cost)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Legal atau Ilegal?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekarang sedang hangat-hangatnya diperdebatkan di seluruh dunia. Ini dikarenakan metode pemilihan gender ini dipandang melawan moral dan kode etik oleh banyak orang. Beberapa pendapat mengatakan bahwa pemilihan gender ini membuat diskriminasi seksual dan stereotips. Banyak pula yang mengkhawatirkan bahwa metode pemilihan gender ini akan membawa efek negatif pada perbandingan pertumbuhan antara wanita dan pria di beberapa negara serta akan menimbulkan keinginan lain untuk memilih karakteristik anak-anak kita kelak, seperti: warna rambut, warna mata dan level intelegensi-nya. Karena alasan-alasan inilah beberapa negara melarang penggunaan metode pemilihan gender ini yang tidak disertai alasan medis yang kuat.&lt;br /&gt;Metode pemilihan gender tersedia di hampir semua klinik fertilitas di Amerika, tapi tehnik ini hanya dapat digunakan untuk mereka yang memiliki masalah genetika. Pemilihan gender dengan tidak didasari alasan medis tidak diperkenankan di Inggris dan Kanada.

For some women, getting pregnant is extremely difficult and after consulting with fertility specialists they end up on a regimen of medications designed to regulate and hopefully correct irregularities in the ovulation cycles. With this goal in mind, women are doing any thing and everything possible to improve their chances of conception and giving birth to a healthy child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To increase the chance of conception, many women are taking the drug Clomid or Clomiphene citrate in spite of the rumors that it has the potential to cause hair loss. For most women, the possibility of hair loss is insignificant compared to the potential for becoming pregnant. If you are concerned about hair loss as a possible side effect of Clomid or Clomiphene citrate, then you may be interested in learning about other potential side effects as well. One of the most common side effects of Clomid is its potential for causing multiple births; that is twins, triplets or even quadruplets and quintuplets. This could be potentially good news for couples who want to have more than one child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Studies have also shown that aside from the increased potential for multiple births the other potential side effects are numerous may include acute abdominal discomfort, bloating, increase in appetite, dermatitis or rashes, depression, diarrhea, dizziness and fatigue. As for the big question, can Clomid cause hair loss, the answer is yes. Hair loss is one of the many potential side effects .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If after considering all of the potential side effects of Clomid or Clomiphene citrate you are still interested in pursuing it as an option for increasing your chances for conception, it is time to discuss the mater with your physician. Discuss your options and ask about alternative medications or methods that may also offer increased potential for pregnancy with potentially fewer side effects. Remember, your goal is to conceive and give birth to the health child or children of your dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Andrea Dilea&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-5073469022596237111?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/5073469022596237111/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=5073469022596237111' title='29 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/5073469022596237111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/5073469022596237111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/09/perkembangan-bayi-tabung-uterus-buatan.html' title='Fertility Drugs and Hair Loss'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-3221333026610205056</id><published>2007-09-26T02:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-26T02:05:46.650-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hipertensi berpengaruh pada Kelahiran Bayi Tabung</title><content type='html'>Sebuah tim penelitian di Universitas Boston, US menemukan bahwa para wanita yang melakukan proses IVF memiliki tekanan darah tinggi selama masa kehamilannya bila dibandingkan dengan para wanita yang hamil secara alami.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penelitian tersebut mengemukakan bahwa proses IVF berhubungan dengan dua kondisi: hipertensi kehamilan dan pre-eclampsia. Keduanya dapat berpengaruh terhadap kondisi si ibu dan kemungkinan kelahiran yang rendah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pre-eclampsia dipengaruhi oleh protein yang ada dalam urin dapat menghasilkan tingkat kelahiran prematur sebesar 15%. Bayi yang lahir pun kadang tidak hanya lahir prematur namun juga memiliki tingkat pertumbuhan yang rendah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bagi para wanita yang sedang menjalani prosedur IVF akan mendapati bahwa resiko memiliki darah tinggi adalah sebesar 90% atau lebih dan bahkan resiko pre-eclampsia dua kali lebih besar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Akan tetapi setelah mengambil beberapa cara untuk mengurangi darah tinggi sebelum melakukan proses IVF, maka kemungkinan keberhasilannya dapat turun sampai 70-80%. Fakta bahwa proses perawatan kesuburan atau fertlitiy treatment yang dapat meningkatkan kemungkinan kelahiran ganda dapat menyebabkan peningkatan hipertensi selama masa kehamilan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kesimpulannya adalah bahwa untuk melakukan proses bayi tabung diperlukan berbagai kesiapan mental maupun fisik yang baik.

Namun jangan kuatir, program bayi tabung atau IVF memiliki perkembangan baru dalam subprosesnya, yaitu sistem pembekuan sel telur yang memungkinkan para wanita bebas dalam memilih waktu yang tepat bagi mereka untuk memulai sebuah keluarga tanpa kuatir batasan umur dan siklus reproduksi yang mereka alami.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sistem pembekuan sel telur ini baru akan diluncurkan di negara Inggris Raya. Biasanya yang dibekukan adalah sel sperma si pria, namun setelah berbagai penelitian maka didapatlah sistem baru pembekuan bagi sel telur.Sebelumnya, berdasarkan tingkat keberhasilan yang rendah yang didapat dari sistem pembekuan sel telur ini serta hanya dilakukan bagi pasien penderita kanker, akan tetapi para rumah-rumah sakit percaya bahwa tehnik yang dikembangkan oleh ilmuwan Jepang ini akan dapat menghasilkan bayi tabung dengan tingkat keberhasilan yang cukup besar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professor Gedis Grudzinskas, kepala medis Bridge Center meyakini bahwa tehnik ini akan menwarkan sejumlah pilihan kepada para wanita. "Dahulu para wanita memakai pil kontrasepsi untuk dapat menentukan waktu yang tepat untuk mendapatkan anak, tapi sekarang tehnik pembekuan sel telur inilah yang lebih efektif." &lt;br /&gt;Akan tetapi tehnik pembekuan sel telur ini yang juga lebih dikenal sebagai vertifikasi masih berada dalam tahap awal perkembangannya. Sebelumnya sistem pembekuan sel telur ini memiliki tingkat kesulitan yang tinggi dalam proses pembekuan dan pencairannya berdasarkan kandungan air yang tinggi yang terdapat didalamnya dan proses pengkristalisasiannya dapat menimbulkan kerusakan pada sel telur. &lt;br /&gt;Tehnik pembekuan sel telur yang telah diperbaharui menggunakan proses pemindahan kandungan air yang ada didalam sel telur lalu dilakukan pembekuan dengan menggunakan nitrogen cair. Setelah berbagai penelitian maka disimpulkan bahwa 90-95% sel telur dapat selamat dari proses pembekuan dan dapat digunakan selanjutnya untuk proses bayi tabung dengan tingkat kealamiahan yang hampir sama dengan sel telur segar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ibu Tessa Darley, seorang pejabat pemerintahan yang nerumur 37 tahun adalah seorang wanita di Inggris yang menggunakan tehnik pembekuan baru ini. "Saya dapat menentukan kapan saya harus mengakhiri karir, menemukan si Mr.Right, memulai sebuah keluarga dan jikapun saya mengalami menopause, saya masih dapat memiliki bayi dari kandungan saya sendiri," katanya yakin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meskipun rumah sakit di Inggris jarang sekali melayani treatment kesuburan untuk wanita yang berumur lebih dari 50 tahun, banyak kritik mengenai pembatasan umur bagi wanita yang sudah mengalami postmenopausal dalam menjalani program IVF.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-8901252064917868671?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/8901252064917868671/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=8901252064917868671' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/8901252064917868671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/8901252064917868671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/09/perkembangan-bayi-tabung-pembekuan-sel.html' title='Perkembangan Bayi Tabung: Pembekuan Sel Telur'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-4894160045564918849</id><published>2007-09-21T05:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-21T05:19:02.782-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Perkembangan Bayi Tabung: Blastocyst Culture</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RvO2cydsqbI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Ejz68CGyCVc/s1600-h/newfigure.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RvO2cydsqbI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Ejz68CGyCVc/s200/newfigure.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112630607694571954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blastocyst culture adalah sebuah tehnik baru dalam prosedur in vitro fertilization dimana embrio yang ditanamkan adalah yang sudah berumur 5-6 hari, 2 hari lebih lama dari IVF standar. Penambahan waktu ini mempermudah memilih embrio yang lebih sehat dan memiliki kemungkinan keberhasilan yang lebih tinggi. Kesempatan untuk kelahiran ganda (kembar, kembar tiga) pun lebih dapat diminimalkan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tehnik IVF pada umumnya menggunakan embrio yang berumur 3 hari dengan tingkat sel 6-10 lalu kemudian dipindahkan kembali ke dalam uterus. Jika embrio dibiarkan tumbuh selama 5 hari atau lebih di laboratorium, maka embrio tersebut akan menjadi blastosis dengan tingkat perkembangan sel 50&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keunggulan Blastosis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sel dari embrio yang berumur lebih dari 3 hari akan mulai untuk membelah setelah distimulasikan dengan sinyal yang dapat ditemukan dalam sel telur yang sudah matang. Embrio memiliki genom yang unik yang belum diaktifkan. Setelah 5 hari, genom tersebut akan aktif dan membelah lalu tumbuh berdasarkan sinyal dari genetiknya sendiri. Jika embrio telah sampai pada tahap blastosis maka embrio tersebut telah melalui masalah pertama dalam proses perkembangannya. Proses pengaktifan gen ini tidak dapat dievaluasi jika embrio masih berumur 3 hari. Dalam siklus reproduksi normal, hari ke-3 (6-10 sel) embrio berada dalam tuba fallopi. Setelah 5 hari, blastosis akan tiba di saluran uterus dan memulai proses implantasi. Pemindahan blastosis yang berumur 5 hari lebih bersifat alamiah dalam prosesnya jika dilihat dari padangan psikologi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sistem Pemindahan Blastosis belum banyak digunakan karena proses pengaktifan gen-nya memerlukan media kultur dan lingkungan yang khusus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berbeda dari proses standar IVF, proses blastosis ini memerlukan embrio yang berumur 5 hari atau lebih. Tapi jika dilihat dari penangan si pasien, maka secara umum prosedur yang digunakan tidak berbeda jauh dari standar IVF.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-4894160045564918849?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/4894160045564918849/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=4894160045564918849' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4894160045564918849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4894160045564918849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/09/perkembangan-bayi-tabung-blastocyst.html' title='Perkembangan Bayi Tabung: Blastocyst Culture'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RvO2cydsqbI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Ejz68CGyCVc/s72-c/newfigure.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-847578687648627332</id><published>2007-09-10T09:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T04:32:29.902-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Infertility Treatments Options</title><content type='html'>Infertility is a problem that plagues thousands of couples and can be a very difficult and painful situation to cope with. However, nearly 90% of all infertility cases (either by male or female causation) can be overcome with infertility treatments, whether through surgical or medicinal techniques. It is important that couples thoroughly research all available and practical treatments and choose the best option for them based on financial, social, religious, ethical, and medical factors pertinent to them. Here are a few of the basic and most common infertility treatment options available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Intrauterine Insemination (IVI) – a very basic infertility treatment in which women have the option of doing a natural cycle, meaning no fertility drugs are used in the process. A sperm sample, taken from the husband or partner, is prepared and placed in the mother’s uterus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Ovulation Induction – Fertility drugs and medication is used to help the mother consistently ovulate. This process can be used for multiple cycles and in conjunction with other infertility treatments and therapies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) – Fertility drugs are used to induce a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in the mother. The eggs are then removed and combined with semen in a Petri dish where they are fertilized. A couple of days later, the fertilized eggs are placed back in the uterus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Egg Donation – Using an egg donor is a pragmatic option for women who are not able to produce eggs or have eggs of low quality. Typically, these women are older or have experienced premature menopause. The donor eggs are fertilized through the In Vitro process and placed into the recipient’s, or birth mother’s, uterus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Katie Matheson&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-847578687648627332?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/847578687648627332/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=847578687648627332' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/847578687648627332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/847578687648627332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/09/tehnik-dalam-bayi-tabung-laparoscopic.html' title='Infertility Treatments Options'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-6202647542007101506</id><published>2007-09-07T09:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-07T10:19:39.275-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Alternatif IVF: Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RuGH-DtuetI/AAAAAAAAAMI/GIKAvbiW1as/s1600-h/zift"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RuGH-DtuetI/AAAAAAAAAMI/GIKAvbiW1as/s200/zift" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107512952633588434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bila anda memiliki kesulitan untuk mendapatkan kehamilan, maka anda mungkin sudah mencoba beberapa pengobatan alternatif.

Setelah sel telur ini dibuahi, lalu akan dipindahkan kedalam tuba fallopi melalui operasi bedah laparoskopik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Keberhasilan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tingkat keberhasilan tehnik ZIFT ini cukup meyakinkan walaupun dari 100% tehnik bayi tabung yang ada hanya 1% yang menggunakan tehnik ZIFT ini. Pada tahun 2006 di Amerika Serikat telah lahir lebih dari 280 bayi melalui tehnik ZIFT. Tingkat keberhasilan ZIFT akan bergandung pada umur anda. wanita yang lebih muda akan dapat memiliki tingkat keberhasilan yang lebih daripada wanita yang sudah berumur. Rata-rata 36% pasien ZIFT akan mendapatkan kehamilan selama siklus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Persyaratan untuk pasien pengguna ZIFT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Memiliki masalah ovulasi&lt;br /&gt;2. Pasangan anda memiliki jumlah sel sperma yang sedikit&lt;br /&gt;3. Anda tetap tidak bisa hamil setelah 1 tahun mencoba&lt;br /&gt;4. Anda memiliki 5 atau lebih siklus intrauterine insemination yang gagal&lt;br /&gt;5. Tuba fallopi anda tidak terhalang, tidak terluka&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Prosedur Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prosedur ZIFT secara keseluruhan akan memakan waktu selama 4-6 minggu. Kadang-kadang diperlukan lebih dari satu kali siklus untuk memperoleh kehamilan.&lt;br /&gt;Langkah-langkah ZIFT adalah sebagai berikut:&lt;br /&gt;1. Pemberian hormon untuk menstimulasi sel telur&lt;br /&gt;2. Setelah sel telur dewasa, akan dipindahkan&lt;br /&gt;3. Pembuahan sel telur oleh sel sperma &lt;br /&gt;4. Setelah sartu hari, sel telur yag sudah dibuahi akan sipa untuk melakukan proses pemisahan diri, dalam tahap ini embrio akan berubah menjadi zigot&lt;br /&gt;5. 1 - 4 zigot akan diletakkan dalam tuba fallopi anda&lt;br /&gt;6. Anda akan dites untuk impalntasi dan kehamilan dalam beberapa hari kedepan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Kelebihan dan Kelemahan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kelebihan ZIFT adalah dapat memastikan langsung apakah proses bayi tabung yang akan dilakukan berapa persen tingkat keberhasilannya. Ini karena selama proses ZIFT, sel telur anda akan dilihat berhasil atau tidaknya pembuahan yang dilakukan oleh si sel sperma dalam laboratorium. Lain lagi dengan tehnik Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) yang  hanya meleburkan sel sperma dan sel telur lalu diletakkan langsung dalam tuba fallopi sebelum sel telur dan sperma tersebut menjadi sebuah zigot. Tehnik ZIFT juga akan menempatkan zigot yang aktif langsung didalam tuba fallopi. Beberapa pasangan merasakan bahwa cara ini lebih alamiah dalam mendapatkan kehamilan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kelemahan ZIFT adalah perlunya dilakukan dua kali operasi bedah secara terpisah: satu untuk memindahkan sel telur dan satu lagi memasukkan zigot kedalam tuba fallopi. tehnik bayi tabung secara ZIFT ini juga memerlukan biaya yang besar, sekitar 13,000 US$/siklus. Sebagai tambahan, ZIFT dapat meningkatkan peluang kehamilan ganda. Sekitar 35%nya secara fakta melahirkan secara ganda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Jadi GIFT atau ZIFT?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dianjurkan untuk memilih GIFT terlebih dahulu karena metode GIFT lebih murah dan menurunkan resiko kehamilan ganda. Jika GIFT gagal, maka anda pasti akan memilih ZIFT. Diskusikan secara matang dan terarah dengan dokter kandungan anda dalam metode yang terakhir ini.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-6202647542007101506?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/6202647542007101506/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=6202647542007101506' title='1 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/6202647542007101506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/6202647542007101506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/09/alternatif-ivf-zygote-intrafallopian.html' title='Alternatif IVF: Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RuGH-DtuetI/AAAAAAAAAMI/GIKAvbiW1as/s72-c/zift' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-2944102152224203285</id><published>2007-09-07T09:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-07T10:21:27.748-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Alternatif IVF: Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RuGIYTtueuI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/JdW2r8ovJ7o/s1600-h/GIFT2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RuGIYTtueuI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/JdW2r8ovJ7o/s200/GIFT2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107513403605154530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) adalah sebuah tehnik penciptaan kehamilan dimana sel telur yang sudah dipindahkan dari ovarium si wanita akan dikawinkan dengan sel sperma si pria yang sudah dicuci bersih, lalu kemudian sel telur dan sperma tersebut diletakkan dalam tuba fallopi melalui lubang kecil dalam abdomen si wanita.&lt;br /&gt;Tehnik Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) ini diperkenalkan pada tahun 1984. Tehnik ini menggunakan by-pass fungsi tuba fallopi untuk mengangkat sel telur. Tehnik ini akan menghasilkan proses pembuatan bayi tabung secara lebih alamiah bila dibandingkan dengan tehnik In vitro fertilization (IVF). Embrio yang diletakkan langsung dalam tuba fallopi akan berkembang dalam lingkungan dan keamanan yang alamiah.&lt;br /&gt;Tehnik Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer ini dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif daripada tehnik IVF, sebagai akibat dari infertilitas sel sperma, akan tetapi tehnik ini tetap tidak direkomendasikan jika alasannya adalah kasus infertilitas. Indikasi utama untuk penggunaan tehnik GIFT ini adalah untuk pasien yang memiliki masalah pada non-tubal muda dengan analisis semen yang normal.&lt;br /&gt;Kelemahan antara tehnik GIFT dengan IVF adalah kurangnya informasi mengenai fertlisasi dan kualitas embrio serta pemindahan sel telur yang tidak fertil dibandingkan dengan embrio yang terpilih.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-2944102152224203285?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/2944102152224203285/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=2944102152224203285' title='1 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/2944102152224203285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/2944102152224203285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/09/alternatif-ivf-gamete-intrafallopian.html' title='Alternatif IVF: Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT)'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RuGIYTtueuI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/JdW2r8ovJ7o/s72-c/GIFT2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-3297394538800436614</id><published>2007-09-05T02:18:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-05T02:24:45.593-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Langkah-langkah IVF dalam Gambar bag.2</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/Rt502TtuepI/AAAAAAAAALo/an8M81sBsDU/s1600-h/6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/Rt502TtuepI/AAAAAAAAALo/an8M81sBsDU/s200/6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106647503838542482" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Menciptakan Embrio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.

This expensive procedure can cause a great amount of stress to couples wanting to conceive. This is especially true of women who need to go through multiple cycles before becoming pregnant. Coping with the stress of IVF is faced by couples every day. What are the mechanisms that can help couples who are about to undergo IVF?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing you need to do is to develop a financial plan to determine if it is not only affordable, but is covered by your insurance plan. Contact your HMO and find out exactly what it does and doesn't cover. If it covers some or all of your treatments, decide which one of you will negotiate with the insurance company. List your assets to ensure you have enough money to pay for the treatments. If you need assistance, ask for help from your family members or, if you own a home, decide if it is beneficial to take out a second mortgage. Check loan possibilities as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a good communication with other couples who are also trying to cope with IVF to see if there is something you may have missed. In addition, talking to others who are experiencing the same problems makes it much easier to cope with everything you have to deal with. Check online fertility forums; research the data; perhaps you may find solutions which you never thought possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the stress is overpowering you, seek counseling. A therapist who understands the IVF process could be of tremendous help in enabling you to cope more easily. Do not isolate yourself into a depression. Keep the dialogue open; and encourage your partner to do the same. Try to keep a positive outlook. Remember, stress can cause problems which, in turn, will ultimately affect your overall health and that of your baby, in the event you do become pregnant.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-2449476409269627313?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/2449476409269627313/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=2449476409269627313' title='1 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/2449476409269627313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/2449476409269627313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/09/perkembangan-teknologi-bayi-tabung.html' title='IVF Cost'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-759977837815640639</id><published>2007-09-01T22:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T22:25:51.469-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Survey IVF Parents to Tell the Kid</title><content type='html'>The majority of parents who conceived through assisted reproduction plan to tell their children about the design, but they are often unsure how to go about it, a British study suggests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study focused on couples who had conceived using their own eggs and sperm, with a conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A pregnant woman is made of eggs with sperm in a laboratory dish and then incorporated into its midst a few days later.

Women, who do not conceive naturally, can conceive artificially through in vitro process. Therefore, they often feel whether IVF pregnancy symptoms resemble symptoms of natural pregnancies or not. Following an IVF pregnancy, the egg is taken outside in a Petri dish to fertilize. After fertilization, the egg is again implanted in the body. However, this is an artificial process of being pregnant, the course of the pregnancy advances as the normal period of pregnancy advances. However, after much discussion on IVF pregnancy symptoms, confusions related to this topic has prevailed. Let us talk about the procedures of IVF pregnancy and the symptoms of early IVF pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;What Is IVF Pregnancy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This IVF pregnancy has brought ray of hopes to many women who have not been able to become pregnant naturally. Fortunately, this IVF pregnancy also consists of painless procedures. As the egg is fertilized in a Petri dish, it is planted in the womb of by the help of a catheter. The symptoms of early IVF pregnancy come to surface as the fertilized egg is implanted at the walls of uterus. Once the egg is implanted, mother’s body starts generating hormones to support advancement of pregnancy. As the pregnancy symptoms start showing up, take note of each of the signs and prepare a pregnancy journal. However, one must know the date when the egg was fertilized in the womb, otherwise, it is pretty challenging to make a pregnancy journal in case of an IVF pregnancy. So, start with recording the date of the implantation of the fertilized egg in your uterus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Are The Symptoms Of IVF Pregnancy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the egg is implanted in the uterus, and as your pregnancy is determined through an ultrasound, your body commence showing up symptoms of early IVF pregnancy. These symptoms are usually the symptoms of normal pregnancy. Following is a list of probable signs you can expect in an IVF pregnancy –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;# Enhanced level of basal body temperature&lt;br /&gt;# An overdue periods or amenorrhea&lt;br /&gt;# Tender and sore breasts&lt;br /&gt;# Cramping sensation in lower abdominal area&lt;br /&gt;# Discomforts of nausea and queasiness throughout the day&lt;br /&gt;# Increased aversion and fondness to certain foods and fragrances.&lt;br /&gt;# Dizziness and increased level of exhaustion and fainting.&lt;br /&gt;# Sudden onset of mood swings&lt;br /&gt;# Lower back pain&lt;br /&gt;# Urinating frequently&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Role of HCG in IVF Pregnancy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HCG hormone is known as the pregnancy hormone and is produced after the fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus. In an interval of few days, this hormone is secreted in the blood and lead to arousal of symptoms of early pregnancy. However, during an IVF pregnancy, this hormone gets released a bit later in comparison to the normal pregnancy. This is the reason, the IVF pregnancy symptoms take a bit longer to arrive. If you are at this stage of IVF pregnancy, you should better consult a doctor or medical process to get your pregnancy confirmed, than to wait for its symptoms. Using an urine test, doctors detect IVF pregnancy. Undergo an HPT or positive urine test or ultrasound to be confirmed of your pregnancy if the symptoms of early IVF pregnancy are yet to show up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many women who opt for in vitro pregnancy also known as IVF Pregnancy ask questions if the symptoms of early IVF pregnancy are different from normal pregnancy symptoms. early pregnancy symptoms provides more information on this and other early signs of pregnancy such as early pregnancy symptom spotting, early pregnancy symptom cramping and much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Apurva Jain&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-7864206120624281809?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/7864206120624281809/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=7864206120624281809' title='1 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/7864206120624281809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/7864206120624281809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/09/bayi-tabung-perokok-sehat.html' title='Symptoms Of Early IVF pregnancy - Signs Of An In Vitro Pregnancy'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-1061976008677324242</id><published>2007-09-01T00:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-01T00:28:22.620-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dr. Sudraji S, Pionir Bayi Tabung, Meninggal</title><content type='html'>Guru besar emeritus bidang obstetri ginekologi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia, Sudraji Sumapraja (72), meninggal, Selasa (14/8) pukul 11.30 di Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta.

Typically, a woman's ovaries do not produce enough healthy eggs to become pregnant, she uses donated eggs. Healthy young women in their 20s to donate their eggs to help a couple to conceive or substitute through IVF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are the qualities of the egg donor?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Program standards vary, but most of the criteria have been set for legal reasons and to increase the chance of pregnancy. Egg donors must be between 21 years and 35, although most programs do not accept women over 30 years of age. You must be 21 to legally sign a contract and younger than 35 because older women tend to respond more poor to medicines that young women in their 20s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be eligible, women must be healthy, have no STD or disease, be non-smokers, have little or no genetic diseases in the family, had no psychological problems, these have no piercing, tattoos or body, we must continue or already obtained a university degree, and must be physically and emotionally able to donate.

This is the case because donors are more likely to follow egg donation guidelines, have already proven to be fertile, and their positive feelings about donation has already been made. Some programs also offer more compensation for certain races, beauty, high IQ and a special talent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;What does the egg donation process involve?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To apply for a program for egg donation, you must fill out the questionnaire, a long (averaging 30 pages), which requires that general information about yourself and details about you and your family's medical history .

If you are considered acceptable, you will be accepted into the program donated egg. Some programs at this stage in their position you egg donation database until you are selected by a couple. Other programs of your psychological, medical, social disease tests, background checks at this point before you qualify as fit to give.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you need to wait to be chosen by a couple. This can take from a few weeks to over a year. Each couple is looking for different criteria so that you have to wait until someone you fit the criteria. Repeat donors are selected sometimes faster than the first time donors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After being selected, you enter into a legally binding agreement with the couple. According to the center you work with the couple and preferences, your contact with the couple may differ. Most of the centers of anonymity between parents and donors, although some donors or couples prefer to meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After signing the contract legal, drugs will begin. Typical medications taken by an egg donors are Lupron, follicle stimulating hormones, and human chorionic gonadotropin. Most drugs must be injected at home by yourself. The injections last about 3-4 weeks from the process.

You will be required to travel in the center of IVF you work with (if you live far travel can be covered) for this procedure. You will be sedated and a vaginal ultrasound probe with a guide needle in your vagina. This needle will enter and exit ovaries loans eggs. This procedure takes about 30 minutes to an hour. You need to rest for about 1-3 hours after extraction, from there, somebody can take you home. It is recommended not to fly home until the next day. After the operation, you can feel cramps or light bleeding for a day or more. You should feel normal within a day or two.

Repeat donors may receive more, up to about $ 15,000 (most of which centers agree to be set for compensation and ethical reasons of financial hardship).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on the degree of openness, you may never know if your couple designed using your gift eggs. You can go back to your normal life at this point, or choose to go through the process of egg donation again in the future.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-70377342599409393?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/70377342599409393/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=70377342599409393' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/70377342599409393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/70377342599409393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/bayi-tabung-untuk-pengidap-hiv.html' title='Program Details of Egg Donation'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-8335527742764689114</id><published>2007-08-28T09:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-01T22:14:27.910-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Prosedur In vitro fertilisation (IVF)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RtpGmTtuegI/AAAAAAAAAKg/NN_Mp__YNaY/s1600-h/ivf.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RtpGmTtuegI/AAAAAAAAAKg/NN_Mp__YNaY/s200/ivf.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105470751518915074" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In vitro fertilisation (IVF) adalah sebuah proses untuk menghasilkan bayi di luar tubuh manusia. Sel Telur dari wanita dan sperma dari pria ditempatkan bersama-sama dalam piring plastik untuk menghasilkan terjadinya pembuahan. Seteleah terjadi pembuahan, telur yang sudah berubah menjadi embrio akan ditanamkan kembali ke belakang uterus wanita untuk dapat diproses secara alami oleh tubuh agar dapat terjadi kehamilan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prosedur Bayi tabung (IVF)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IVF bukanlah suatu prosedur yang mudah dan sederhana, tapi merupakan beberapa langkah prosedur yang dilakukan dalam beberapa minggu, seperti dijelaskan dibawah ini:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Menstimulasi Ovarium&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beberapa macam hormon akan disuntikan untuk menstimulasi ovarium untuk menghasilkan telur lebih dari pada masa subur umumnya. Perkembangan sel telur ini akan dipantau dengan cara tes darah dan dengan ultrasound. Cara ini digunakan untuk meyakinkan bahwa telur-telur yang dihasilkan pada saat yang tepat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Pengumpulan Sel Telur&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultrasound dimasukkan dalam rahim wanita dan jarum yang sangat halus akan melacak perkembangan telur dalam rahim tersebut. Monitor pada Ultrasound akan menunjukan dimana follicle berada, kemudian jarum halus tersebut akan menindik follicle yang mengandung sel telur dan mengekstraksinya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Fertilisasi dan Pemindahan Embrio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dua jam setelah sel telur dikumpulkan, si pria akan mengeluarkan sperma, biasanya dilakukan lewat masturbasi. Dalam proses standar IVF, sel telur akan dicampurkan dengan sperma dalam satu wadah. Sedangkan dalam proses ICSI, satu sel sperma akan langsung diinjeksikan kedalam lapisan luar setiap sel telur yang ada.&lt;br /&gt;Jika sel telur sudah dibuahi oleh sperma, akan menghasilkan sebuah zigot atau embrio muda. Zigot tersebut akan disimpan dalam inkubator selama 1-2 hari sampai membelah menjadi 2 atau 4 sel. Setelah proses pembuahan, 2 atau 3 embrio akan dipindahkan ke dalam uterus mengunakan catheter. Proses ini disebut pemindahan embrio dan cukup menimbulkan rasa sakit serta tidak memerlukan anastetik.&lt;br /&gt;Sedangkan untuk proses Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT), sel telur dan sperma diletakkan langsung dalam tuba fallopi dan membiarkannya melakukan proses yang alami. Prosedur ini menggunakan laparoskop dan anastetik umum, namun dewasa ini cara GIFT sudah jarang digunakan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Tes kehamilan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dua minggu setelah proses pemindahan akan dilaksanakan tes darah untuk memastikan apah terjadi proses kehamilan atau tidak&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-8335527742764689114?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/8335527742764689114/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=8335527742764689114' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/8335527742764689114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/8335527742764689114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/prosedur-in-vitro-fertilisation-ivf.html' title='Prosedur In vitro fertilisation (IVF)'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zwzcDEk_KGo/RtpGmTtuegI/AAAAAAAAAKg/NN_Mp__YNaY/s72-c/ivf.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-7656905727269169691</id><published>2007-08-25T10:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-25T10:36:18.185-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Memaksimalkan Kesehatan Masa Sebelum Kehamilan</title><content type='html'>Beberapa nasehat sederhana yang mudah untuk dilakukan sebelum anda memulai proses bayi tabung anda:&lt;br /&gt;- Diet yang sehat dan teratur&lt;br /&gt;- Berhenti merokok dan pengunaan obat-obatan&lt;br /&gt;- Jangan meminum minuman beralkohol&lt;br /&gt;- Lakukan olahraga ringan: Jalan-jalan sore, jogging&lt;br /&gt;- Jaga berat badan sesuai dengan BMI yang ideal&lt;br /&gt;- Minum multi-vitamin&lt;br /&gt;- Lakukan intercourse 2-3 kali seminggu&lt;br /&gt;- Lakukan pemeriksaan darah, tes hepatitis B &amp; C&lt;br /&gt;- Hitung dan pahami putaran masa subur anda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memahami masa kesuburan anda akan memaksimalkan kesempatan kehamilan yang lebih besar.

A varicocele may be surgically repaired to improve fertility. Treatment with antibiotics of a chronic infection can enable a previously infertile man to become fertile. In some situations where substance abuse is a contributing factor, it may be essential for the male to abstain entirely from alcohol and/or other drugs and to join self-help groups in order to do so. Re-evaluation of medications prescribed to treat a chronic illness may produce positive results. A careful study of the man's exposure to occupational hazards such as radiation, lead, or dangerous pesticides may indicate a possible solution through change in employment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other cases, administration of various hormones can increase a borderline sperm count or suppress sperm antibodies enough to make conception possible. These hormones include testosterone, thyroid hormone and cortisone. In some situations clomiphene citrate (Clomid) or human menopausal gonadotropins (Pergonal), medications that are used to induce ovulation in infertile women, may also be given to a man whose pituitary deficiency is the cause of his inability to father an offspring. In vitro fertilization, originally used more for female infertility, is being used increasingly for the treatment of male infertility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is being described as a revolution in treating infertile men originated in Belgium in 1993, when researchers produced several successful pregnancies by the direct injection of a single sperm cell into a human egg in a Petri dish. The important discovery was that men who had no viable sperm in their semen often had at least a small number in their testes. The problem was that getting the sperm out of the testicles required a very expensive operation and an extended hospital stay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1995, American researchers found a much easier and cheaper way to extract the sperm: by aspirating them through a thin needle in a procedure that can be done in the doctor's office. Even though the needle aspiration is not very expensive, it has to be combined with in vitro fertilization and the direct injection of sperm into eggs. The combined procedures, known as intracytoplasmic single sperm injection (ICSI), can cost as much as $15,000, an amount not likely to be covered by insurance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The extraordinary advantage of this new development is that it has reduced fertilization to getting the sperm's genes into the egg. It doesn't matter whether the sperm can swim vigorously or even if it can penetrate the egg's outer layer. All that matters is that it is alive. Dr. Richard J. Sherins, director of the male infertility program at the Genetics and IVF Institute in Fairfax, Virginia and the developer of the aspiration technique, believes that it should be of the greatest use to the approximately ten million American men who have had vasectomies. This is encouraging news because while the vas may be surgically repaired, this does not always result in the resumption of fertility. And according to the "New York Times" (6/19/95), even though the method is expensive, it has resulted in a diminishing market for sperm donors both in this country and Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By: Michael Russell&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-6295175466723444981?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/6295175466723444981/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=6295175466723444981' title='1 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/6295175466723444981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/6295175466723444981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/inseminasi-buatan-bayi-tabung-dilihat.html' title='Male Infertility Treatments'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-5746064945359583173</id><published>2007-08-25T10:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-25T10:31:45.839-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Yang Mandul yang Melahirkan</title><content type='html'>Keajaiban itu bernama Carine, seorang bocah berusia sebelas bulan yang lahir di Kanada. Bocah perempuan ini lahir dari metode pembuahan di laboratorium, ditumbuhkan dari sel telur yang dibekukan lantas dibuahi di tabung laboratorium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carine lahir dari seorang ibu yang mengidap sindrom kista di indung telur. Penyakit ini biasanya menyebabkan penderitanya mandul. Di Inggris, satu dari lima perempuan menderita penyakit ini, termasuk Victoria Beckham, istri bintang sepakbola David Beckham.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ibunda Carine adalah satu dari 20 sukarelawan yang mencoba metode pembuahan baru yang dihasilkan peneliti dari Pusat Reproduksi McGill di Montreal, Kanada. Sel telurnya dimatangkan di laboratorium, dibekukan, lantas dicairkan, lalu dibuahi dalam tabung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pematangan sel telur di laboratorium sudah pernah dilakukan sebelumnya dan melahirkan bayi yang sehat. Pembekuan sel telur pun terbilang sebagai prosedur yang sudah mapan. Namun Carine adalah kasus pertama di dunia, terlahir dari penggabungan seluruh prosedur itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kelahiran Carine baru diungkapkan ke publik dalam pertemuan tahunan Masyarakat Reproduksi dan Embriologi Manusia Eropa (ESHRE) di Lyon, Prancis, pada senin lalu. Doktor Hananel Holzer dari McGill mengatakan keberhasilan itu memberi harapan bagi para perempuan mandul akibat kista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holzer mengatakan selain kelahiran pertama tersebut, masih ada tiga perempuan lain yang sedang hamil dengan cara yang sama dan siap melahirkan bayinya dalam waktu dekat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ibunda Carine dan para sukarelawan lain rata-rata berusia 30an tahun dan sama-sama mengalami penyakit kista di indung telur (polycystic). Para peneliti di McGill mengumpulkan 295 oosit (sel telur yang belum matang) dari indung telur mereka dan mematangkannya dengan bantuan hormon di laboratorium selama lebih dari 48 jam sebelum dibekukan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebanyak 68 persen sel telur berhasil dimatangkan. Sel-sel telur itu lantas dibekukan tak lebih dari sebulan sebelum dicairkan kembali. Ternyata 74 persen (64 embrio) berhasil bertahan hidup setelah dicairkan dan dibuahi dengan teknik injeksi sperma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Embrio-embrio itu lantas ditransfer ke kandungan para sukarelawan. Para peneliti mentrasfer masing-masing tiga sel telur kepada tiap-tiap pasien. Pada empat pasien, proses ini berhasil dan berujung pada kehamilan, bahkan salah satunya berhasil melahirkan Carine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holzer mengatakan, teknik baru itu akan bermanfaat bagi perempuan yang mengidap kanker, seperti kanker payudara. Perempuan seperti ini umumnya akan memilih cara pembuahan in vitro fertilization (IVF) alias bayi tabung. Tindakan kemoterapi yang mereka jalani biasanya akan membuat mereka mandul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namun, dalam proses bayi tabung, mereka harus mendapat terapi hormon yang berguna untuk merangsang produksi sel telur di dalam ovarium. Terapi semacam ini justru memperburuk penyakit kanker yang mereka derita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stimulasi ovarium secara tradisional itu juga memakan waktu, antara dua hingga tiga pekan. Mereka yang menderita sindrom stimulasi berlebihan (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome), takkan punya waktu untuk menunggu metode tradisional. Sindrom ini dapat berakhir pada kematian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Itulah sebabnya, menurut Holzer, teknik itu akan membantu mereka menyimpan dan membekukan beberapa sel telur sebelum terlambat. Dan pemberian hormon pun cukup dilakukan di laboratorium, bersamaan dengan proses pematangan sel telur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebelum penemuan itu diumumkan, dunia kedokteran belum mengetahui bahwa sel telur yang belum matang bisa dikumpulkan dari indung telur yang belum terstimulasi. Apalagi bahwa sel telur itu bisa dimatangkan lalu dibekukan, lantas dicairkan, sebelum dibuahi dan dipindahkan ke kandungan seorang perempuan yang kemudian hamil karenanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tapi Holzer memperingatkan, penelitian itu masih pada tahap awal dan belum diujicoba pada pasien kanker. "Untuk metode penyimpanan fertilitas, ini masih tahap awal dan eksperimental," kata Holzer. "Kami perlu menginformasikan kepada pasien tentang tahap awal ini, supaya mereka tak menyimpan harapan yang keliru."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namun teknik ini diharapkan bisa menggantikan praktek yang selama ini ditawarkan kepada pasien kanker, yakni para dokter secara sederhana akan membekukan keseluruhan jaringan indung telur yang bisa diimplan kemudian. Cara ini menimbulkan kekhawatiran bahwa jaringan yang akan diimplan kembali itu tak bebas dari sel kanker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perempuan sehat pun bisa memanfaatkan metode baru ini untuk menyimpan kesuburan mereka pada usia pertengahan tanpa perlu menginjeksi hormon. "Perempuan pada usia pertengahan 30an tahun tanpa pasangan dapat membekukan sel telur mereka dengan cara ini," katanya Holzer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joep Geraedts, Ketua ESHRE, mengatakan bila nanti metode itu terbukti pada pasien penderita kanker maka itu juga mungkin bagi semua perempuan penderita kista atau reproduksi buatan. "Karena mereka tidak perlu lagi diganggu dengan hormon," kata Geraedts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di samping itu, metode itu juga menghemat biaya. Pasalnya perawatan dengan obat-obatan hormon terlalu mahal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doktor Allan Pacey, ahli andrologi dari Universitas Sheffield di Inggris, mengatakan keberhasilan para peneliti dari Kanada adalah langkah maju yang signifikan. "Bandingkan dengan lelaki yang dengan mudah menyimpan spermanya sebelum perawatan kanker, perempuan dulu hanya memiliki sedikit pilihan dan kesannya sungguh tidak adil," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurut Pacey, kini yang mesti dilakukan lebih lanjut adalah memastikan bahwa teknik itu aman dan bayi yang lahir pun sehat. "Bila ini sudah dicapai, maka metode ini menjadi amat penting," ucapnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professor Robin Lovell-Badge dari Institut Nasional Riset Kedokteran Dewan Riset Kedokteran mengatakan seluruh langkah dalam metode itu pernah dilakukan sebelumnya. "Namun ini kali pertama semuanya dilakukan bersamaan dan sukses."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adapun Doktor Laurence Shaw, juru bicara Masyarakat Fertilitas Inggris mengatakan, kehamilan dan kelahiran itu adalah langkah yang mengagumkan. Namun dia mengingatkan bahwa angka kehamilan dari para sukarelawan masih terbilang rendah dan dibutuhkan sel telur dalam jumlah yang besar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sumber: TempoInteraktif&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-5746064945359583173?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/5746064945359583173/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=5746064945359583173' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/5746064945359583173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/5746064945359583173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/yang-mandul-yang-melahirkan.html' title='Yang Mandul yang Melahirkan'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-5972997262012330673</id><published>2007-08-21T02:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T22:44:54.835-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Testing Infertility for Woman</title><content type='html'>Measuring hormone levels not linked to blood or urine may also yield information about infertility. For example, certain conditions which are associated with abnormally high male hormones such as testosterone or cortisonelike hormones can cause infertility. Also follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are two messenger hormones that play a vital role in the delicate process of ovulation. If these conditions are slightly reduced or introducing large amounts do not fluctuate or appropriate in the month, can lead to infertility. The hormone prolactin (which plays an important role in the production of milk) may be abnormally high, and be the cause of infertility. The treatment of this high level of hormone drugs Bromocryptine in many cases, the cure infertility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A hysterosalpingogram is a test used for the study of the uterus and fallopian tubes. It can be done in a hospital or in the office of a radiologist. A speculum is inserted into the vagina and the cervix is apprehended with a tenaculum. A breakthrough dye injection is then attached to the cervix, the stain is slowly injected into the uterus and X-rays are taken. Most women feel the injection of dye to be about as uncomfortable as moderate cramps. Radiographs showed domestic routes of the uterus and the tubes of dye fills. If there is an anomaly in the shape or size of the uterus or a blockage in the fallopian tubes, which may appear on X-rays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This test also gives valuable information to a DES exposed to a woman before pregnancy. The degree of abnormality on the shape of the uterus is to predict the chances of premature labor during pregnancy and will help determine how closely such as the woman must be followed during pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A trial postcoital (PC test) is a pain, simple test, which often can yield important information in the evaluation of infertile couples. This test is performed at the time of ovulation. You must come to the doctor in a number of hours after intercourse. A review is made speculum and a small sample of cervical mucus and vaginal secretions were taken and examined miscroscopically. This review will show whether cervical mucus is normal and if the sperm are active and alive. If sperm are alive and active, it is presumptive evidence that sperm antibodies are not a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laparoscsopy is often the last step of an infertility workup. This is done in a hospital, mostly with general anesthesia, although local anesthetic can be used. A small incision is made just below the navel and a long needle is inserted into the abdominal cavity. The abdominal cavity is filled with carbon dioxide. Called laparoscope, a long, narrow, lighted tube is inserted into the abdominal cavity to allow visualization of the pelvic organs. Dye is injected into the uterus. The doctor can look through the laparaoscope and see if the dye spreads the ends of the fallopian tubes, thus determining whether the tubes are open or blocked. In addition, laparoscopy can diagnose endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, and previous pelvic infections.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-5972997262012330673?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/5972997262012330673/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=5972997262012330673' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/5972997262012330673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/5972997262012330673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/11-produk-penting-untuk-bayi-tabung.html' title='Testing Infertility for Woman'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-4137691282215410638</id><published>2007-08-18T09:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T04:40:13.022-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Get Your Treatments Now</title><content type='html'>If you have done any research at all then you may know that multiple births are on the rise and it is said that infertility treatments are the cause. This was never heard of years ago. When multiple births occur such as sextuplets, there are some times problems in the mothers having problems with heart failure. There are also risks to the newborns when there are problems at birth. The newborns may weigh only several ounces instead of pounds and causes stress to them also. When the births are multiple yet successful the couples are elated and they babies are given a wonderful home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Treatments Available&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many options in infertility treatments. There are also many steps that can contribute to stress when looking for the right infertility treatment for you. Some of the basics to be aware of is to know some of the more basic infertility treatments available. After both partners being tested for fertility there are other steps you can take to have that precious bundle of joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) using a natural cycle and your partner providing you with a sperm sample when you ovulate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Fertility Drugs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Artificial Insemination with the use of a sperm donor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Eggs are removed, fertilized then returned to the uterus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* IVF- In Vitro Fertilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This can be done with an egg donor and/or sperm donor. You can also have a surrogate mother carry the baby for you. Although this is not widely used, it has been proven to work for those who cannot have a child. You have to find the right person that you truly trust to carry your child for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinks To Think About&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a very precious part of life and needs to be research thoroughly then rechecked. The miracle of life with the right infertility treatment can be a full success and allow couples who would not otherwise be able to have a child. People who cannot have children but desperately want children are very passionate about finding the right treatment, procedure and people the help them achieve what they consider to be a dream. It is not to be taken lightly in any means and a baby is a precious little life that needs to be protected once the process starts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All steps need to be followed and details need to be addressed and questions need to be answered fully before starting the process of having a baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Wade Robins&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-4137691282215410638?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/4137691282215410638/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=4137691282215410638' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4137691282215410638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4137691282215410638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/bayi-tabung-beresiko-cacat-bawaan.html' title='Get Your Treatments Now'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-3729617962399725218</id><published>2007-08-17T03:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-17T03:11:14.901-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia tentang bayi tabung/inseminasi buatan.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Dewan Pimpinan Majelis Ulama Indonesia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MEMUTUSKAN&lt;br /&gt;Memfatwakan :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Mereka pun berhasil dan sebagian besar mendapatkan bayi kembar. Mengapa mereka memilih Malaysia?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hari sabtu, sekitar pukul 10.30, RS Harapan Bunda (RSHB) Batam punya gawe. Bertempat di lantai lima rumah sakit itu, beberapa pasutri datang sambil menggendong bayinya. Mereka adalah peserta program bayi tabung yang sukses ditangani Mahkota Medical Centre (MMC), Melaka, Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beberapa pasutri dengan bayi-bayinya itu langsung disambut dokter dan petugas medis dari MMC yang hari itu berada di RSHB untuk mempresentasikan program bayi tabung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RSHB dan MMC memang akan menjalin kerja sama untuk program bayi tabung dengan teknik in vitro fertilization. Para pasutri yang diundang hari itu adalah warga Batam yang lebih dahulu berhasil menjalani program bayi tabung. Mereka sengaja diundang ke rumah sakit yang terletak di kawasan bisnis Nagoya, Batam, itu untuk berbagi cerita seputar program yang dijalani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di antara mereka adalah pasangan Dodi, 37, dan Magdalena, 36. Pasutri yang tinggal di kawasan Eden Park, Batam Centre, itu datang dengan menggendong dua balita perempuan kembar. "Ya, ini kembar," kata Lena –panggilan akrab Magdalena– dengan senyum bahagia kepada Batam Pos (Grup Jawa Pos).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dia lantas menyebut nama dua putri kembarnya. Yang lebih tua Andrea Safina Kahla digendong Lena, dan adiknya Audrey Zafira Khansa digendong ayahnya. Kahla tampak lebih agresif. Sedangkan adiknya, Khansa, lebih tenang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lena yang hari itu mengenakan baju merah dan berjilbab menceritakan, kedua anak perempuannya tersebut adalah hasil program bayi tabung yang diikuti di pusat bayi tabung MMC. ”Sebelumnya, kami berumah tangga selama enam tahun,” katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bayi kembar itu lahir pada 8 Oktober 2005. ’’Tanggal 8 nanti (Juli), usianya sembilan bulan,’’ ujar Lena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mengapa memilih mengikuti program bayi tabung hingga ke MMC di Melaka? ”Kami enam tahun tak dikaruniai momongan sejak menikah 1999. Padahal, menurut dokter, tidak ada yang salah pada saya dan suami saya,” tuturnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;’’Selama enam tahun itu, kami sudah berobat ke sana kemari. Ikut program di Jakarta, berobat tradisional, berobat ke dokter kandungan, tapi enggak dapat-dapat,’’ katanya sambil menggoyang-goyang Kahla yang berada dalam gendongannya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dari bertanya ke beberapa teman, akhirnya Lena dan suaminya mendapatkan informasi tentang program bayi tabung di MMC Melaka, Malaysia. ’’Desember 2004, kami mencoba ke Melaka dan ikut program bayi tabung,’’ kisahnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setelah melalui pemeriksaan kondisi, 10 Januari 2005, dokter di MMC menanam embrio di rahim Lena. Ketika itu Lena ditangani dr S. Selva, spesialis kandungan dan kebidanan di MMC. Upaya ini membuahkan hasil. Hanya dua pekan setelah penanaman embrio, Lena hamil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”Dokter minta setelah sepuluh hari supaya tes. Saya cek dengan alat cek kehamilan biasa. Saya bersama suami melakukan tesnya. Ternyata, saya hamil, hasilnya positif. Rasanya senang sekali,” katanya sambil tersenyum. ”Kami waktu itu langsung sujud syukur sambil menangis haru,” lanjutnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saat itu sebenarnya Lena berharap dikaruniai satu anak saja. Tapi, ternyata mereka diberi dua momongan sekaligus. Kahla dan Khansa pun lahir. ”Rumah pun semakin ramai,” ucapnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ketika ditanya soal biaya, Lena menyebut angka sekitar 12 ribu ringgit Malaysia (sekitar Rp 30 juta, dengan kurs 1 ringgit = Rp 2.500). ”Itu belum termasuk biaya perjalanan PP dari Batam ke Melaka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lena mengatakan, biaya untuk bayi tabung di MMC bergantung proses. Semakin sulit prosesnya, semakin mahal biayanya. Paling mahal 15 ribu ringgit (sekitar Rp 37,5 juta).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perjalanan ke Melaka bisa ditempuh dengan kapal feri dari Batam ke Johor Baru dulu. Ini butuh waktu sekitar 1 jam 45 menit. Dari Johor Baru ke Melaka naik bus, kurang lebih 4 jam. ”Bagi kami memang lebih praktis dan murah ke Melaka daripada ke Jakarta. Karena itu, jika kerja sama antara RSHB dan MMC terealisasi, bayi tabung bisa ditangani di sini (Batam),” katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasutri asal Batam yang juga berhasil menjalani program bayi tabung atau in vitro fertilization di MMC adalah Mujianto, 38, dan Jenny, 36. Keluarga yang tinggal di kawasan Dutamas, Batam Centre ini sebenarnya tidak punya rencana memperoleh momongan melalui program bayi tabung. ”Saya tidak ada rencana. Tadinya cuma mengantar Mama berobat ke MMC. Tapi, saya juga ikut cek. Dari hasil USG, dokter kandungan merekomendasikan agar kami ikut program bayi tabung. Katanya ini satu-satunya jalan yang harus dilakukan (untuk dapat hamil),” ungkap wanita yang bekerja di Asuransi AIA ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selama enam tahun pernikahannya dengan Mujianto yang menjabat sebagai home loan manager di BII, Jenny tidak pernah mempersoalkan belum hadirnya buah hati dalam keluarganya. Meski demikian, Jenny juga tidak habis-habisnya berusaha secara medis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”Saya berusaha secara medis, tidak pernah ke dukun. Saya percaya pada Tuhan saja. Secara medis, mulai terapi hingga operasi. Waktu itu katanya ada penyumbatan di rahim saya. Saya bahkan berkali-kali ditiup,” ceritanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rupanya, jodoh pasutri Mujianto dan Jenny ini ada di MMC. Awal 2002, pasangan Jenny-Mujianto memulai program bayi tabung (IVF). Jenny-Mujianto merupakan pasangan pertama dari Batam yang mengikuti program bayi tabung di MMC. Hasilnya, sebulan sejak embrio ditanamkan, Jenny pun hamil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”Saya bersama suami tes sendiri. Benar-benar heboh waktu tahu saya hamil. Ini anugerah terbesar, bisa melihat keajaiban yang diberikan Tuhan. Ini (anak) kan impian setiap orang,” ucap Jenny dengan raut wajah berbinar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sepuluh bulan kemudian, penantian Jenny dan Mujianto pun berakhir. Dua bayi laki-laki lahir pada 30 November 2002. Bayi kembar itu akhirnya diberi nama Jovan Theo Anthony dan Jonas Theo Anthony. Saat ini keduanya sudah berusia 3,5 tahun. ”Mereka kompak, mau apa-apa kompak. Tapi, sifatnya berbeda,” ungkap Jenny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain usaha yang cukup panjang, keluarga yang mengikuti program bayi tabung dengan teknik in vitro fertilization ini harus merogoh kocek lebih dalam. Berapa biaya yang harus dikeluarkan? Vincent Wan, marketing director MMC membeberkan, untuk bayi tabung biayanya rata-rata 12 ribu ringgit Malaysia atau sekitar Rp 30 juta.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-4679891373617901716?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/4679891373617901716/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=4679891373617901716' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4679891373617901716'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/4679891373617901716'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/kisah-pasutri-batam-yang-sukses-ikut.html' title='Kisah Pasutri Batam yang Sukses Ikut Bayi Tabung di Malaysia'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-2266902424205414987</id><published>2007-08-09T03:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T22:28:32.424-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cost of Vasectomy Reversal</title><content type='html'>Vasectomy reversal, the microsurgical procedure that works to restore fertility, is affordable, even though the price may vary according to the procedure employed and from doctor to doctor and state to state! Moreover, unlike vasectomy, a vasectomy reversal procedure may or may not be covered under medical insurance. There do exist health centres across America that willingly help with vasectomy reversals at low costs. Rather than saving on dollars, it would be best to approach a vasectomy reversal expert with relevant experience expertise and a high success rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cost of Vasectomy reversal is very less in comparison to its alternatives such as invitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytomplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). A single cycle of IVF may cost anywhere from $8000 to $15000, which brings the total cost of achieving a pregnancy up to an astounding $75.000. In stark comparison a pregnancy producing vasectomy reversal would cost a maximum of $25000. Thus, a reversal, considered “more natural” is inexpensive and potentially more effective!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually, a successful vasectomy reversal would cost you within the range of $4000 to $20,000. The average in USA has been found to be $10,000, whereas it is half of that in Canada. When agreeing to pay a certain amount to your vasectomy reversal doctor, it would be right to ensure, what exactly are you paying for? Ask all the right questions and make sure you get satisfactory answers. Make certain whether what is quoted is an all-inclusive price or charges for the surgery alone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There would generally be three charges in your bill, which include the services of the surgeon based upon time consumed and complexity of the procedure, use of anaesthesia and post-operative care and medications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surgery: - this would be the remuneration that goes to the surgeon for carrying out the complicated procedure of vasectomy reversal to renew fertility. A vasectomy reversal expert may charge a fee from $2500 to $10,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anaesthesia: - Secondly, the anaesthetist has to be paid for administration of the anaesthesia, general or regional, used during surgery. This may cost anywhere from $2500 to $5000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hospital Fee: - this fee would include the costs of your stay and medical tests at the hospital as long as you are admitted there. This would add another $2500 to 45000 to your total vasectomy reversal cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, half of the above costs may be avoided. There are several doctors who provide vasectomy reversal services for around $5000 all-inclusive, using a local anaesthesia and performing the operation in the office itself! The patient may return home the very same evening and return after five days for requisite tests. In fact, this is the course most couples prefer due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are four payment options that may be looked at to defray your Vasectomy reversal check. These include insurance, cash, credit cards, and medical financing companies. Very few insurance companies, if any, cover vasectomy reversals. However, it is always a good idea to check with your health plan or health insurance company for the same. Credit cards such as Visa or MasterCard may be used, while bearing in mind that you shall incur an interest or be charged a service fee by the credit card company. You may also approach a finance company to pay on your behalf. The defrayment guidelines and interest on this mode of payment may exceed the costs of using a credit card. The best option of course is to pay off the entire amount in cash. You may start a medical fund at home, incorporating it within your monthly budget and putting away cash to be used for similar medical concerns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, a vasectomy reversal is not inexpensive, but money hardly comes into the picture when the happiness of your family is at stake! Explore all payment options; compare different vasectomy reversal doctors and potential costs to make a decision. Whatever it costs, it’s sure to fill your life with unprecedented joy and happiness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Inder Walia&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-2266902424205414987?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/2266902424205414987/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=2266902424205414987' title='1 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/2266902424205414987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/2266902424205414987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/menunggu-bayi-tabung-pertama.html' title='Cost of Vasectomy Reversal'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-5303217853168558401</id><published>2007-08-07T09:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T04:36:49.661-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Introduction of IVF</title><content type='html'>In-vitro fertilization or IVF is a technological advances in the medical field in response to the alarming rate of infertility in developed countries. The concept was launched by Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards, a physiologist at Cambridge in the late 1960's and a decade later, the first IVF baby was delivered in the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IVF was invented mainly to help women who suffer from infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes or uterine sick, but over time, the procedure has been extended to cover cases such as endometriosis, cervical mucus hostile and a host of other infertility problems. It is even now applied in cases where the husband or male partner suffers from a low sperm count, but the results with them have not been particularly impressive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The process of in vitro fertilization, for the most part, involves the use of a laparoscope, a telescope, which can be inserted into the abdomen of women under anesthetic conditions, to remove the eggs from the ovary in women of a period just before the time when it would naturally be released (Ovulé). Harvesting egg is then mixed with washed and diluted male sperm in a glass dish. If fertilization occurs between the egg and sperm, the resulting embryo is allowed to develop in the laboratory, usually for two to three days before the embryo is then implanted or reintegrated into the uterine cavity the woman with a kind of plastic tube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like any other man the procedure, the IVF has its own share of limitations and adverse effects. The success rate of the procedure and the risk of suffering an ectopic pregnancy, a pregnancy that implants and develops outside the uterus and can be found almost always broke with tube to the uterus, are two of these issues. Moreover, with IVF, pregnancy does not always guarantee the birth. Fake layers and ectopic pregnancy tend to be higher with this procedure compared to the general population. Losing the pregnancy of an IVF procedure is fairly common, but there is no overall estimate, while the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy from in vitro fertilization is estimated at 5-10% of all IVF pregnancies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another problem with in vitro fertilization is the success rate. The success for IVF procedures vary from one place to another, although no figure is considered high everywhere. For every two that the use of IVF and obtain a happy outcome, there are many couples who find their infertility intractable problem. This notwithstanding, the technological basis of IVF is improving day by day, that the facts are becoming clearer about IVF, which leads to better results with attempts at IVF, the figures quoted in most major IVF centers are, in this order: eight to ten per cent chance of pregnancy if only one embryo is implanted in the uterus of women, twenty percent chance if two embryos are implanted and thirty percent chance of being pregnant three embryos implanted. For medical reasons, the number of embryos implanted rarely exceeds three or four. However, it is imperative to reiterate here that pregnancy, as under normal conditions, does not always guarantee the birth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In-vitro fertilization was a major breakthrough in the treatment of infertility in the past two decades. The procedure requires sophisticated technological equipment and a high level of skill on the part of medical operators. Despite the fact that doctors and others in the medical field can not make promises or guarantees on IVF again, it is clear that the procedure has put the joy on the faces of many couples and still holds hope for those awaiting her.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-5303217853168558401?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/5303217853168558401/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=5303217853168558401' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/5303217853168558401'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/5303217853168558401'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/bayi-tabung-tumbuh-lebih-pintar.html' title='Introduction of IVF'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-7709793059460926981</id><published>2007-08-04T10:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T22:15:11.419-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Must Know Things about Fertility Treatments</title><content type='html'>A fertility treatment is used when a man and a woman is unable to conceive a child naturally. The fertility treatment is designed to increase their chances of pregnancy. There are many fertility treatments. A specialist tested both individuals to determine the reasons behind infertility, and then the treatment options available are reviewed. Fertility treatments are not always effective and they are often very expensive. Most insurance plans do not cover fertility treatments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ovulation induction involves women taking fertility drugs to increase her chances of getting pregnant. These drugs often come with health risks and side effects, but they can help regulate the menstrual cycle and increase the probability of pregnancy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artificial insemination is the process of injecting sperm of men in the female. This is often associated with fertility drugs and methods to help men who produce more sperm are stronger. Assisted Reproductive Technology, known as ART, are more complicated fertility treatments. This involves removing eggs from a woman, fertilizing with sperm from the man, and placing it in his body before it is known whether the design has taken place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Invitro Fertilization is similar, but it involves removing eggs from a woman, fertilizing with sperm from the man, and ensure that the design took place. Then, the embryos were placed in the uterus of the woman. A side effect of this method is the possibility of multiple embryos being formed at the same time, which leads to no less than seven babies born at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The process of fertility treatments can be very easy for some couples, such as increasing the sperm of man. Other couples struggling for years with fertility problems because of the drop off for not finding an effective treatment and side effects. In addition to the financial costs, the salaries of the fertility of couples affected physically and emotionally.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-7709793059460926981?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/7709793059460926981/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=7709793059460926981' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/7709793059460926981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/7709793059460926981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/must-know-things-about-fertility.html' title='The Must Know Things about Fertility Treatments'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936048339193674834.post-3603269760212295172</id><published>2007-08-04T10:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-26T02:45:31.098-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sejarah Bayi Tabung</title><content type='html'>Metode bayi tabung yang dipelopori sejumlah dokter Inggris ini untuk pertama kali berhasil menghadirkan bayi perempuan bernama Louise Brown pada tahun 1978. Sebelum ditemukannya teknik bayi tabung, untuk menolong pasutri tak subur digunakan teknik inseminasi buatan, yakni dengan cara penyemprotan sejumlah cairan semen suami ke dalam rahim dengan bantuan alat suntik. Dengan cara ini diharapkan sperma lebih mudah bertemu dengan sel telur. Sayang, tingkat keberhasilannya hanya 15%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada teknik bayi tabung atau &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;in vitro fertilization&lt;/span&gt; yang melahirkan Louis Brown, pertama-tama dilakukan perangsangan indung telur sang istri dengan hormon khusus untuk menumbuhkan lebih dari satu sel telur. Perangsangan berlangsung 5 - 6 minggu sampai sel telur dianggap cukup matang dan sudah saatnya diambil. Selanjutnya, folikel atau gelembung sel telur diambil tanpa operasi, melainkan dengan tuntunan alat ultrasonografi transvaginal (melalui vagina).&lt;br /&gt;Sementara semua sel telur yang berhasil diangkat dieramkan dalam inkubator, air mani suami dikeluarkan dengan cara masturbasi, dibersihkan, kemudian diambil sekitar 50.000 - 100.000 sel sperma. Sperma itu ditebarkan di sekitar sel telur dalam sebuah wadah khusus di dalam laboratorium. Sel telur yang terbuahi normal, ditandai dengan adanya dua sel inti, segera membelah menjadi embrio. Sampai dengan hari ketiga, maksimal empat embrio yang sudah berkembang ditanamkan ke rahim istri. Dua minggu kemudian dilakukan pemeriksaan hormon Beta-HCG dan urine untuk meyakinkan bahwa kehamilan memang terjadi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sejak kelahiran Louise Brown, teknik bayi tabung atau In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) semakin populer saja di dunia. Di Indonesia, teknik bayi tabung (IVF) ini pertama kali diterapkan di Rumah Sakit Anak-Ibu (RSAB) Harapan Kita, Jakarta, pada 1987. Teknik bayi tabung yang kini disebut IVF konvensional itu berhasil melahirkan bayi tabung pertama, Nugroho Karyanto, pada 2 Mei 1988. Setelah itu lahir sekitar 300 "adik" Nugroho, di antaranya dua kelahiran kembar empat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sukses besar teknik bayi tabung (IVF) konvensional ternyata masih belum memuaskan dunia kedokteran, apalagi kalau mutu dan jumlah sperma yang hendak digunakan kurang. Maka dikembangkanlah teknik lain seperti PZD (Partial Zona Dessection) dan SUZI (Subzonal Sperm Intersection). Pada teknik PZD, sperma disemprotkan ke sel telur setelah dinding sel telur dibuat celah untuk mempermudah kontak sperma dengan sel telur. Sedangkan pada SUZI sperma disuntikkan langsung ke dalam sel telur. Namun, teknik pembuahan mikromanipulasi di luar tubuh ini pun masih dianggap kurang memuaskan hasilnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekitar lima tahun lalu Belgia membuat gebrakan lain pada teknik bayi tabung yang disebut ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection). Teknik canggih ini ternyata sangat tepat diterapkan pada kasus mutu dan jumlah sperma yang minim. Kalau pada IVF konvensional diperlukan 50.000 - 100.000 sperma untuk membuahi sel telur, pada ICSI hanya dibutuhkan satu sperma dengan kualitas nomor wahid. Melalui pipet khusus, sperma disuntikkan ke dalam satu sel telur yang juga dinilai bagus. Langkah selanjutnya mengikuti cara IVF konvensional. Pada teknik ini jumlah embrio yang ditanamkan cuma 1 - 3 embrio. Setelah embrio berhasil ditanamkan dalam rahim, si calon ibu tinggal di rumah sakit selama satu malam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di Indonesia, menurut dr. Subyanto DSOG dan dr. Muchsin Jaffar DSPK, tim unit infertilitas MELATI-RSAB Harapan Kita, ICSI sudah diterapkan sejak 1995 dan berhasil melahirkan anak yang pertama pada Mei 1996. Dengan teknik ini keberhasilan bayi tabung meningkat menjadi 30 - 40%, terutama pada pasangan usia subur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berdasarkan pengalaman, menurut dr. Muchsin, peluang terjadinya embrio pada teknologi bayi tabung sekitar 90%, di antaranya 30 - 40% berhasil hamil. Namun, dari jumlah itu, 20 - 25% mengalami keguguran. Sedangkan wanita usia 40-an yang berhasil melahirkan dengan teknik in vitro hanya 6%. Karena rendahnya tingkat keberhasilan dan mahalnya biaya yang harus dikeluarkan pasien, teknik ini tidak dianjurkan untuk wanita berusia 40-an.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasangan yang masuk program MELATI tidak harus mengikuti program IVF. Teknik ini hanya ditawarkan kalau setelah diusahakan dengan cara lain, tidak berhasil. Sebelum mengikuti program ini pun pasutri diminta mengikuti ceramah dan menerima penjelasan semua prosedurnya agar diikuti dengan mantap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biaya mengikuti program bayi tabung (IVF) ini memang tidak murah. Pada akhir 1980-an biayanya sekitar Rp 5 juta. Kini, berkisar antara Rp 13,5 juta - Rp 18 juta. Harga obat suntik perangsang indung telur saja sudah naik hampir empat kali lipat. Padahal, suntikan yang dibutuhkan selama dua minggu mencapai 45 ampul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain RSAB Harapan Kita, Jakarta, teknik bayi tabung (IVF) juga sudah diterapkan di FKUI-RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo (Jakarta), Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Airlangga (Surabaya), dan Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Gadjah Mada dan RS Dr. Sardjito (Yogyakarta).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4936048339193674834-3603269760212295172?l=bayitabung.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/feeds/3603269760212295172/comments/default' title='Poskan Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4936048339193674834&amp;postID=3603269760212295172' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/3603269760212295172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4936048339193674834/posts/default/3603269760212295172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bayitabung.blogspot.com/2007/08/sejarah-bayi-tabung.html' title='Sejarah Bayi Tabung'/><author><name>Ronald Halim</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
