If you’ve been trying to conceive and had no success, you are not alone. World Health Organization estimates that approximately 8-10% couples experience some form of infertility. There is a lot that can be done to restore fertility and help you start a happy family.
Different approaches would be suggested depending on the results of various tests. The majority of infertility cases are successfully treated with medications, IVFs, or surgery.
Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) includes:
(a) IUI (Intra Uterine Insemination) involves inserting a processed sperm
sample into the womb coinciding with ovulation to increase the chances of conception.
(b) Test Tube baby procedure (IVF - ET)
(C) ICSI - ET is used to treat couples who previously had failure in conceiving
due to the extremely low sperm count of the male partner.
IVF procedures undertaken at our networked facilities have achieved 25-30% success rate and resulted into pregnancy. IVFprocedure consists of:
(a) Controlled ovarian stimulation with drugs (GNRH Analogues and
Gonadotropins) to produce many eggs.
(b) Monitoring of follicles and egg development with the aid of vaginal
sonography and serial Estradiol hormone estimation.
(c) Administration of HCG injection, (Human Chorionic Gonadotropins) when the
two leading follicles are 18mm in diameter.
(d) Oocyte or egg retrieval under short general anesthesia, 35 to 37 hours after
HCG injection.
(e) Identification and isolation of eggs in the laboratory.
(f) Sperm collection and processing in the lab.
