What is Reception of Oocytes from the Partner (ROPA)?

Reception of Oocytes from the Partner (ROPA) is a variant of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment. It is an assisted reproduction treatment for female couples who want to have a family. This is a suitable process for couples who want to actively participate in pregnancy, in which one partner will have the eggs removed from the ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory, while the other partner will receive the embryo in her uterus to carry the pregnancy. In this case, the two women involved are mothers - the one who provides the egg is the biological mother, and the one who gets pregnant is the expectant mother.

How It Works

This treatment starts with personalized ovarian stimulation of a woman that can take up to 10 to 20 days to finally extract the eggs. Meanwhile, the other woman is treated to prepare her endometrium to receive the embryos. The obtained ova will be fertilized with a donor sperm in vitro, and the resulting embryos will then be planted into the uterus.

Procedure for ROPA

ROPA method involves 4 phases:

1. Ovarian stimulation and puncture of the woman who provides the eggs:
The woman providing the eggs will undergo ovarian stimulation at home for 10 to 20 days. A medication will be given to stimulate the follicles in your ovaries to produce more eggs and avoid spontaneous ovulation. During this period, the patient will be controlled with ultrasound scans and hormonal analysis to check that she is responding as expected to the medication prescribed. The best time to extract the eggs will be decided. Extraction of the eggs will take around 15 mins and mild anesthesia will be used.

2. Fertilization and culture of embryos:
While treatment is ongoing, the most suitable sperm sample will be chosen to inseminate the eggs. This may take between 2 and 6 days before transferring the resulting embryo.

3. Preparation of the endometrium
While one will go undergo ovarian stimulation, the other partner will undergo hormonal treatment to prepare the uterus in order to implant the embryo.

4. Embryo transfer
Highest quality embryo will be selected to be inserted vaginally into the uterus. This part of the process will be quick and painless, and no anesthesia will be required. After 2 weeks, a beta-HCG test will be performed to confirm pregnancy.

FAQ

Q1: What is the success rate?
A1: This largely depends on your age, health conditions etc. Generally, women will have a reduction in their reproductive capacity from the age of 35. So, if the egg donor is less than 35 years old, the probability of a pregnancy at first attempt is about 65%. In the case of a 40-year-old donor, the success rate on first attempt is only 15%. More attempts can slightly increase the chances.

Q2: What should I do to care for myself after the embryo transfer?
A2: You should avoid intense sports. Once embryos are transferred, it is a normal pregnancy. Please adhere to doctor’s advice.

Q3: Will it be painful?
A3: No. Even in some processes like egg extraction, mild anesthesia will be used. Overall process will not be painful.

Q4: Will there be risks of asynchrony between the partner who will be undergoing ovarian stimulation and the other who will prepare the endometrium?
A4: Any asynchrony between the two processes will be avoided by performing repeated hormonal and ultrasound controls in both women.
