Many couples suffer from infertility,

and are not able to achieve

pregnancy, for these persons ICSI
cycle; IVF and ART (Assisted
Reproductive Techniques) will help to
improve the chance for pregnancy.
These procedures have excellent
success rates and achieve much
desired pregnancy.

In V itro Fertilization (IV F)

IVF might be used to overcome

infertility in the woman due to

problems of the fallopian tube, which
makes fertilization in vivo difficult.
It also assist in male infertility where
there is a deficiency in sperm quality
and in such casesIntra Cytoplasm
Sperm Injection(ICSI) may be used,
where a sperm cell is injected directly
into the egg cell.

ICSI also used when sperm numbers

are very low.

If no sperm is available in a natural
way, then embryologist may
schedule a sperm retrieval process
such as micro dissection, testicular
biopsy, testicular sperm extraction
(TESA) or percutaneous sperm
aspirations (PESA) about the time of
egg retrieval.

Ovarian stimulation
Fertility drugs, taken through

injections are used to stimulate a

womans ovaries to develop multiple
mature eggs.
This is because a normal cycle usually
produces one egg only and pregnancy
rates in IVF are better if a number of
eggs can be retrieved and fertilized.

These injections are usually given

subcutaneously (under the skin) and

are much less uncomfortable than
the previous generations of
medication.
The embryologist monitors the
progress of ovulation induction with
ultrasounds and blood estrogen
levels over several days.

Egg retrieval
When eggs are mature, they are

retrieved by an ultrasound guided

procedure that is performed under light
anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
During the process a needle is placed
through the vaginal and into the
ovaries and removes the fluid that
contains the egg..

In V itro Fertilization (IV F)

This process is performed by

visualizing the follicle with a vaginal

ultrasound probe. A needle is
directed alongside the probe through
the vaginal wall and into the ovary.
To avoid any discomfort, strong,
short acting intravenous sedation is
provided

Fertilization
Once the fluid is removed from the

follicle, eggs are placed in incubator

in the lab. The eggs should be
fertilized with sperm in the same day.
Now provide a semen sample from
male partner which is healthiest
sperm will be extracted.

In V itro Fertilization (IV F)

The eggs are fertilized by ICSI (Intra

Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) which is

most commonly recommended as part of
theIVF processwhen there is a problem
with the sperm or egg, including sperm low
motility, low sperm count or abnormally
shaped sperm.
It takes approximately 18 hours to
determine if fertilization occurs and 24
72 hours to establish the growth of
embryo.

Embryo Transfer
Embryos are transferred within 3 to 6

days after egg retrieval.

It is recommended to grow the
embryos for five to six days until
they reach theblastocyst stage.
Embryo transferis a simple
technique and anesthesia is not
required.

In V itro Fertilization (IV F)

They are placed through cervix into

the uterine cavity using a small soft

catheter.
Embryo Cryopreservation Sometimes
during the IVF procedure extra
embryos develop during the cycle.
If the embryos are of good quality,
then they can be frozen and stored
for future transfer.
