IVF is a process where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body. IVF occurs via natural penetration of sperm in to egg. In IVF, there should be at least 50,000 motile sperms per egg.
ICSI is a specialised form of IVF in which embryologist selects morphologically normal sperm and inject it directly in to the egg under micromanipulator, a specialised microscope with high magnification.
Once fertilised by IVF or ICSI, the resultant embryos are cultured till day 5 before being transferred into the uterus.
Hormonal injections are administered daily for 10 to 12 days depending on the individual patient response to produce multiple eggs.
Regular monitoring through blood tests and ultrasound is done to know the rise in hormones and growth of follicles.
once the follicles reach an appropriate size and estradiol levels are adequate, we will administer a trigger shot which induces final maturation of egg with in follicle.
It is a minor surgical procedure performed under sedation to retrieve eggs 34 to 36 hours after a trigger shot under ultrasound guidance.
Embryos are cultured till day 5 and the resultant embryos are graded by embryologist.
Embryos will be transferred back to the mother’s womb either in the same cycle (FRESH EMBRYO TRANSFER) or later (FROZEN EMBRYO TRANSFER) under ultrasound guidance.
Hormonal support is given to aid implantation.
Beta HCG test is done 14days postembryo transfer to confirm pregnancy. Follow up ultrasounds are done to monitor the progress
