The best IVF clinics in Kazan in 2022

Every woman sooner or later thinks about having children. But not all couples manage to conceive a child. In Russia, there are five million families suffering from infertility. However, this is not a judgment. The main thing in solving this problem is an accurate diagnosis with the identification of the causes of infertility (and there are more than twenty of them) and the correct complex treatment. If it does not give results, then the only way out is IVF (in vitro fertilization), which is used for any form of infertility and is becoming popular. The main condition is the presence of a uterus. There are only two contraindications: mental disorders and oncology.

IVF is a conception in a test tube, from which the embryo is then implanted into the endometrium of the uterus of one's own or surrogate mother of the unborn child. It is not always possible to achieve a positive result the first time. Sometimes multiple embryo transfers are required. The process can take up to six months. The result also depends on the clinic where IVF is performed. We will tell about the best IVF centers in Kazan below.

IVF Clinic Selection Criteria

Infertility is a topical issue of perinatal medicine, which is solved with the help of in vitro fertilization. For this, specialized clinics have been created, where qualified doctors using state-of-the-art equipment on an outpatient basis carry out the necessary examinations and manipulations in stages. There are several IVF clinics in Kazan. The question is how to choose the best one.

You can search for an acceptable option in two ways: through the clinic (official website of the clinic, personal visit) or through patients (Internet forums, recommendations from friends). In the first case, the information received will be exhaustive and comprehensive, but idealized, since it is an advertisement. A search based on patient reviews on numerous Internet forums and on the recommendations of acquaintances gives a more accurate idea of ​​a particular clinic and individual specialists, but it also has a minus. The fact is that any review is a subjective opinion of one person. In addition, each case of IVF is individual, and it is difficult to judge by other people's impressions.

The following are the preferred IVF clinic selection criteria.

Licenses and quality assurance

The medical institution conducting the IVF procedure must have a valid license to carry out medical activities and provide high-tech types of work, which include IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies. It is obligatory to have a laboratory registration certificate, certificates for each specialist and legal documents. At the first request of the client, this documentation must be provided to him.

The IVF clinic’s success guarantee is its own embryological laboratory that meets the following requirements:

• embryo identification and labeling system;
• control over the disposal of disposable instruments;
• maintenance of the set temperature;
• air sterility;
• a separate electric generator for cryoinstallations and incubators.

Compliance with these rules provides quality assurance.

The equipment of the clinic and the professionalism of doctors

The IVF clinic is subject to high requirements regarding the provision of the necessary equipment and tools. Successful work in the field of reproductive medicine requires innovative diagnostic equipment. These are incubators, software freezers, cryostorages, manipulators, laminar cabinets and aspirators. We also need ICSI workstations, microscopes of various modifications and functionality, and thermal tables for them. Ventilation devices, separate power generators and much more are needed.

A lot of consumables for each stage of IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies are also required. The clinic should have enough microinstruments, catheters, needles, materials for cryopreservation of biological material.This is an incomplete list of necessary consumables, not counting additional and auxiliary.

Equipment, even modern and expensive, only in the hands of experienced doctors will benefit patients. The staff of the clinic includes gynecologists-reproductologists, embryologists, urologists-andrologists, geneticists, anesthesiologists, ultrasound doctors.

IVF clinic doctors should be able to conduct diagnostic and treatment studies, identify the cause of infertility and draw up the most effective individual treatment plan. The goal of the work of the medical team is to provide the maximum possible assistance in overcoming infertility to each patient.

It is a big plus if IVF clinic doctors have academic degrees, work experience and conduct practical and research work, increasing the educational potential in the field of reproductive technologies.

Statistics and patient reviews

When choosing an IVF clinic, it is necessary to study the statistical data. Here you can immediately dismiss those medical centers that use a simple marketing ploy in the form of an overestimated average to attract customers. Studying the statistics of the onset of pregnancies in the clinic, it is assumed that the average IVF rate in the world is 35-40%.

Therefore, it is more expedient to choose information about the average data on the effectiveness of the clinic not from the site, but from third-party sources: forums on the Internet with patient reviews and articles in the media. You should remember the subjectivity of people's opinions, and not try on any situation for yourself. It is important to bear in mind that artificial insemination in each individual case is an individual procedure. It is influenced by age, state of health, the cause of infertility, even psychological attitude.

When studying reviews about the clinic, doctors, statistics of IVF procedures, it is better to rely on uninterested sources. In this case, more reliable information is guaranteed. Medical errors are costly to patients, so don't waste your time looking at multiple review sites, especially when it comes to specific professionals. Reviews are always different, from enthusiastic to negative. The advantage in the direction of the latter is a reason to think.

The level of development of embryology in the clinic

The work of embryologists remains in the background, but it is crucial in the IVF procedure and in most cases determines its outcome. Therefore, when choosing a clinic, it is important to take into account the level of development of embryology, which can be assessed by two parameters:

• by the number of embryos implanted in the uterus in one procedure;
• according to the period of cultivation of the embryo.

Optimal is the implantation of not two or three, but one embryo in one procedure. This is safe, since the body of a woman with infertility in most cases is not ready to endure a multiple pregnancy, and the reduction (removal) of extra embryos is dangerous with possible complications and miscarriages.

With a high level of development of embryology in the clinic, embryos in test tubes are grown for at least five days. If doctors practice the transfer of two-three day embryos, then most likely the clinic is not yet competent enough in matters of embryology. In such cases, with an unfavorable result of IVF, the fault falls on the health of patients.

Availability of assisted reproductive technologies

The specialization of the clinic and the list of ART that is provided to patients in addition to IVF are very important.Among them: ICSI (manual introduction of sperm into the egg), PICSI (selection of sperm for the subsequent ICSI procedure), IMSI (fertilization using a microscope), IUI (intrauterine insemination - a method of artificial insemination in the presence of at least one fallopian tube) and hatching (laser removal of the protective shell of the embryo, which subsequently interferes with attachment to the uterine wall).

The clinic can use the technology of cryopreservation of biological material by the currently popular method of vitrification, often using donor eggs. The shelf life of biomaterials in this case is 28 years. After thawing, the properties of the cells are completely preserved.

The technology of surrogate motherhood, in which the future child of genetic parents is carried by a surrogate mother. How much the surrogacy service costs can be calculated by summing up the cost items (examination, necessary tests, food, accommodation, childbirth), as a result, the average price is 850 thousand rubles.

Donor IVF programs. There are three types: IVF with donor oocytes, IVF with donor sperm and IVF with donor embryos. They are prescribed in case of impossibility to obtain own germ cells, the absence of a sexual partner in a woman, or the risk of transmission of genetic diseases.

Additional Criteria

A few more tips on what you should pay attention to in order to avoid mistakes when choosing a suitable clinic.

• Value for money, especially if IVF is planned for a fee. It is not recommended to choose a clinic only on this criterion. Too low a price, inexpensive services indicate an appropriate level of quality: indifference, dishonest record keeping, unreasonable prescriptions for examinations and treatment.The modern level of equipment of the clinic, high qualification of doctors, the latest equipment cannot be cheap. It is important to study the list of commercial medical services and prices so that the family budget can bear future expenses.
• Possibility of free IVF. Since 2013, on the basis of the Law on budgetary in vitro fertilization, it has become possible to conduct IVF under the CHI program. The policy covers 106 thousand rubles from the full cost of the procedure. Each clinic has its own set of paid medical services. Waiting in line for a quota ranges from two months to a year. In 2022, the number of attempts for compulsory medical insurance is not limited.
• Clinic hours. The experience of the clinic in conducting IVF testifies to the reputation and likelihood of successful treatment results.
• Registration of medical documents. Some clinics provide patients with pregnancy exchange cards, sick leave certificates.
• Psychological comfort. Both patients and the image of the clinic benefit from the friendly attitude and attentiveness of the staff.
• The interior of the clinic attracts attention: modern and at the same time cozy.
• The working hours of the clinic and the reproductologist should be convenient for patients and preferably include days off.

In no case should you consider the option of a clinic if:

• there is no license to conduct ART or the validity period has expired;
• the clinic promises a 100% guarantee of pregnancy on the first try;
• management refuses to provide complete information regarding the equipment, facilities and working methods of the clinic;
• The staff is rude and rude in communication.
