Ovulation induction is a medical treatment used to help a woman to ovulate regularly. Timed intercourse refers to having sexual intercourse at a specific time during the menstrual cycle to increase the chances of pregnancy. The most likely day for a woman to ovulate is determined by blood tests and other scans performed at specific times during her cycle.In ovulation induction, medications are given to the woman to stimulate ovulation and increase the chances of conception. Timing intercourse during the time of ovulation can increase the chances of pregnancy as the egg is available for fertilization. This combination of ovulation induction and timed intercourse can be an effective fertility treatment for young patients with healthy eggs and sperms.

An intrauterine sperm insemination (IUI) is a laboratory procedure in which the fast moving sperm is separated from the slower moving sperm and deposited at the ovulation time in the woman's womb. Artificial insemination uses husband's sperm (AIH).A woman with patent fallopian tubes can enhance her fertility through intrauterine insemination (IUI), the first step in fertility treatment.

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology that begins by collecting a woman’s eggs and a man’s sperm and combining them together outside the woman’s body in a laboratory dish for fertilisation. In vitro is Latin for “in glass” and refers to the laboratory Petri dish in which the egg and sperm are combined. When the eggs are fertilised and become embryos, the physician determines which embryos to transfer to the woman.The treatment of IVF is deemed successful, if the embryo gets implanted in the uterus which results in a positive pregnancy. Any remaining embryos can be frozen and stored for future use or donated to other couples. In vitro fertilization can overcome most causes of male and female infertility.

The sperm head must attach to the outside of the egg before the sperm can fertilize the egg. In order to fertilize the egg, the sperm must penetrate the outer layer of the egg (cytoplasm) to reach the inside.A variety of reasons can prevent sperm from penetrating the outer layer. The sperm may be unable to swim because the egg's outer layer is thick or hard to penetrate. In these cases, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can be used along with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to fertilize the egg. ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into the egg's cytoplasm.

ERA (endometrial receptivity array) is a diagnostic test used to determine whether the endometrium is ready to implant embryos.Endometrial biopsy is a relatively new procedure that involves biopsying a small sample of the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, for molecular analysis.In women with multiple failed in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts or recurrent pregnancy loss, problems with the endometrial lining can cause infertility.A recurrent pregnancy loss or multiple miscarriages may warrant an ERA biopsy for women who have undergone IVF cycles with unsuccessful implantation. A recurrent pregnancy loss or multiple miscarriages may warrant an ERA biopsy for women who have undergone IVF cycles with unsuccessful implantation.

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) during in vitro fertilisation (IVF) screens embryos for a variety of genetic issues that can cause implantation failure, miscarriage, and birth abnormalities in a child.Birth abnormalities or pregnancy loss can result from a variety of genetic illnesses, such as extra chromosomes in the embryo (like Down syndrome), single gene diseases (like sickle cell anaemia), or gene rearrangements.Using PGT, embryologists can identify genetic flaws in an embryo prior to IVF, preventing those embryos from being implanted into the woman's uterus.

Blastocyst culture is a procedure used in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to culture an embryo until it reaches the blastocyst stage of development, usually around day 5 or 6 after fertilization. This allows for a more advanced assessment of the embryo's viability and selection of the best embryos for transfer, increasing the chance of successful implantation and pregnancy. The culture medium used provides a more supportive environment for the embryo than traditional two-day culture methods, helping to mimic the natural environment of the uterus.

PGT-SR involves testing embryos (for chromosomal structural rearrangement ) created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and then transferring only normal embryos. You may consider PGT-SR for chromosome rearrangements if you had a child or pregnancy with a chromosome rearrangement or if you or your partner are a carrier of : Inversion / Reciprocal translocation / Robertsonian translocation.

PGT-M can help couples who are at risk of passing on a monogenic or single gene disorder to their child to have a healthy pregnancy and baby. This type of genetic testing can also provide peace of mind for couples who are looking to start a family.

Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGT-A) is a test that examines chromosomal material of an in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos before implantation. It involves removing one or more cells from an IVF embryo to test for numerical chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy). This screening method facilitates the selective implantation of embryos that have a normal number of chromosomes (Euploid Embryos). Couples who can benefit from PGT-A are :1)Patients at any age who have repeated implantation failure or recurrent pregnancyloss while undergoing IVF.2)Women over 35 years old undergoing IVF.3) Couples with recurrent miscarriages.4) Positive history of chromosomal abnormalities in the family.5) Diagnosed carriers of chromosomal aberrations

Chromosome analysis or karyotyping is a blood test that evaluates the number and structure of a person’s chromosomes in order to detect abnormalities, thus to help diagnose genetic diseases, birth defects etc. Some chromosomal disorders that may be detected include: Down’s syndrome , Edwards syndrome, Turner’s syndrome, klinefelters syndrome , patau syndrome etc

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Symptoms of PCOS : Irregular menstrual periods, heavy periods, excess hair, acne, pelvic pain, difficulty getting pregnant, patches of thick, darker, velvety skin. Complications : Type 2 diabetes, infertility, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, mood disorders etc

Many women have a miscarriage at one time or another. Miscarriages can happen for many reasons. Having a miscarriage doesn’t mean a woman will have another miscarriage if she tries again. But some women suffer more than one miscarriage. This is called recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Women and families often grieve these losses deeply. Women may also worry that they are sick or did something to cause the losses. Pregnancy loss is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks of gestation. The loss of a pregnancy after 24 weeks gestation is called a stillbirth. A diagnosis of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss or RPL could be considered after the loss of two or more pregnancies. This includes pregnancies after spontaneous conception and after assisted reproduction (e.g. IUI and IVF/ICSI). Ectopic pregnancies and molar pregnancies are not included. There are various causes for recurrent miscarriage, and some can be treated. Most couples with RPL have a higher chance of a live birth in their next pregnancy than of having another pregnancy loss, but that does vary depending on maternal age and the number of pregnancy losses and on whether a likely cause has been found.

An ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition in which a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. This can cause the pregnancy to grow in the wrong location and can be life-threatening if left untreated.

There are many factors that can contribute to ovulation problems, including hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and age-related factors. Certain lifestyle factors, such as stress, weight fluctuations, and certain medications, can also impact ovulation.

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the scrotum of the male testis. These veins are called the pampiniform plexus. A varicocele can result in decreased sperm production and quality, which in some cases can lead to infertility. You may have no symptoms associated with a varicocele or you might experience - a lump in one of your testicles swelling in your scrotum visibly enlarged or twisted veins in your scrotum (which are often described as looking like a bag of worms ) or a dull, recurring pain in your scrotum etc. Once the varicocele is diagnosed, your doctor will classify it with one of three clinical grades. Grade 1 is the smallest, and grade 3 is the largest. It’s not always necessary to treat a varicocele - please consult our experts to know more

Azoospermia means there’s no sperm in a man’s ejaculate. Its causes include a blockage along the reproductive tract, hormonal problems, ejaculation problems or issues with testicular structure or function. Many causes are treatable and fertility can be restored. For other causes it may be possible to retrieve live sperm to be used in assisted reproductive techniques.

Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen enters the bladder instead of emerging through the penis during orgasm. Although you still reach a sexual climax, you might ejaculate very little or no semen. This is sometimes called a dry orgasm. Retrograde ejaculation isn't harmful, but it can cause male infertility.

Ejaculation problems can be caused by a variety of factors, including nerve damage, spinal cord injuries, certain medications, and surgery to the prostate, bladder or urethra. Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety and depression can also contribute to ejaculation problems.

Thyroid disorders are a common condition that affects the thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck. This gland plays an essential role in regulating the body's metabolism, which affects the heart rate, body temperature, and weight. The two most common thyroid disorders are hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

Genetic Disorders can be caused by changes or mutations in a single gene, multiple genes, or changes in chromosome structure or number. These mutations can be inherited from a parent or occur spontaneously.

Hormone level imbalance is a common condition in which the levels of hormones in the body are not in their normal range. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating various bodily processes and imbalanced levels can result in various symptoms and health conditions. Hormone level imbalances can occur due to a variety of reasons including aging, lifestyle factors, and medical conditions.

The symptoms of auto-immune diseases vary depending on the type of disease, but common symptoms include fatigue, joint pain and swelling, skin rashes, and fever. Some auto-immune diseases may also cause internal organ damage and affect the central nervous system.Diagnosis of auto-immune diseases is often challenging and may involve a combination of physical exams, blood tests, and imaging studies.
