In vitro fertilization signifies “Fertilization in the Lab” rather than
within the fallopian tubes. Aspirated ovarian follicles are examined in
the embryology laboratory, the eggs have been recognized,
extracted, and are set in a special culture medium. At that point
there are just two ways of fertilizing the eggs:
The first one is called the IVF-Insemination (Not IUI nor Intrauterine
Insemination) method where roughly 25,000 -100,000 processed
sperm are placed around each of the eggs. The sperm and eggs are
permitted to incubate collectively in a closely controlled
environment. Approximately 16-24 hours later, the eggs have been
inspected microscopically for fertilization as evidenced by the
presence of two atomic bodies.
Benefits of IVF
IVF allows us to maximize the likelihood of fertilization by placing
eggs. We can pick the embryo together with the highest potential for
pregnancy thanks to our innovative embryo selection methods,
including time-lapse observation and Pre-implantation Genetic
Screening. In case you’ve got more than a great embryo in the cycle,
you can freeze the remainder to utilize in future treatment cycles
Why IVF could be advised
IVF is advised when Sperms prevent from fertilizing an egg in the
entire body, such as fallopian tube damage or blockages. It may also
be proposed in some cases of unexplained infertility, or In mild cases
of male infertility.
IVF – PROCESS
Initial Appointment
Your fertility specialist will review your medical history and all
previous investigations if any.
Pre-treatment Consultation
The fertility specialist will confirm your treatment plan, and all the
queries will be answered, and sign the relevant consent documents.
Treatment
Beginning with the medication you need, explains the treatment
cycle timeline, and shows you how to self-administer the Follicle
Stimulating Hormone (FSH) injections.
Stimulation
Hormone stimulation FSH is administered through a diabetic-style
pen, sparking your ovaries to make more eggs than normal. We’ve
got a higher chance of achieving fertilization and pregnancy when we
can accumulate more eggs.
Treatment Tracking
Throughout your cycle, routine Blood tests measure your hormone
levels and ultrasounds measure the size and number of your ovarian
follicles. This also helps us determine the proper period for the egg
group.
Trigger injection
As Soon as You have the optimum size and number of follicles, we
plan your own egg collection. You’ll have a trigger injection of hCG
(human chorionic gonadotrophin) in the evening, and also the
performance for egg collection may happen 36 to 38 hours later. The
hCG injection replaces the natural Luteinising Hormone in the human
body and ‘triggers’ or instigates ovulation.
Egg collection
Most women prefer a light general anesthetic, but you can have a
regional anesthetic with sedation should you prefer. On the morning
of your egg collection, fresh semen (semen ) sample will be provided
by a male partner thus we can immediately fertilize your eggs.
Egg fertilization
Collected eggs are taken to the Laboratory and placed in a culture
medium to prepare them for fertilization later that day. In IVF, ready
sperm and eggs are placed together in a dish where fertilization
occurs. In ICSI, an individual sperm is chosen by an extremely
experienced embryologist, also, under quite a delicate eye manage,
the egg has been injected with this sperm
Embryo development
The sperm and egg are then put in individual incubators At 37 levels
to mimic the Temperature of the human body. The next day,
scientists will analyze the eggs Ascertain if fertilization has happened,
and will call you to Advise you of this evolution Of the embryos.
Embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is simple the embryos are transferred into the
uterus via a very fine catheter passed through the cervix, a
procedure similar to a pap smear. Sometimes we might advocate
transferring embryos earlier.
Embryo freezing
Any extra embryos not used through a treatment cycle that are
acceptable for freezing can be kept for the long run.
Pregnancy test
A blood test will be conducted two weeks after the embryo transfer.
Occasionally, women can still have a period despite being pregnant,
so this blood test will occur even if your period has commenced. If
the pregnancy test is positive, we will arrange an ultrasound scan
approximately three weeks later.
IVF Cost
The Cost of IVF varies depending Country or which states in India you
choose, and Individual case comes with different medical, health
issues, some achieves pregnancy in the first cycle others need
multiple cycles to conceive. The cost of IVF in India starts with 1.5lac
to 3lacs, depending on the individual’s health report.
