When to opt for IUI?
1. Commonly IUI is opted when the sperm count is low and decreased sperm mobility. However, it is also selected to treat infertility in the following conditions-
2. Unexplained Infertility
3. Cervical mucus problems
4. Ejaculation dysfunction

The procedure : Before IUI, ovulation stimulating medicines are given. Follicular monitoring is done. 24 – 36 hours after ovulation. IUI is performed.
The collected Semen is washed in the laboratory, sperms are separated from the seminal fluids and placed in the uterus using a catheter. This increases the number and quality of sperm in the uterus and thus increasing the chance of conceiving.
IUI takes only a few minutes involving least discomfort and then the patient needs to look for symptoms of pregnancy.
The success rate of IUI depends on various factors like women’s age, reason of infertility and the medication used to treat infertility in the past.
IUI performed each month may give 20% higher chance of conceiving per cycle.
As you see IUI is less invasive and inexpensive as compared to IVF, the success rate is lower too in comparison to IVF.
Women who have had severe fallopian tube disease, history of pelvic infection and moderate to severe endometriosis are not recommended to go for IUI.

When is IVF opted?
IVF is used to treat infertility in the following patients-
Blocked/Damaged Fallopian tubes
Decreased Sperm Count
Ovulation disorders
Premature Ovarian Failure
Uterine Fibroids
Removed Fallopian Tubes
Genetic disorders
Unexplained Infertility

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is recommended for couples who have been diagnosed with male fertility issues such as low sperm count, low sperm morphology or motility, anti-sperm antibodies or have previously had a vasectomy or unsuccessful vasectomy reversal.
We can also use this technique for couples who have experienced poor or no fertilisation rates using standard IVF.
There are five main steps to the ICSI procedure:
A sperm sample is taken from your partner’s semen or surgically extracted from his testes or epididymis.
Your eggs are surgically extracted from your ovaries.
Using a tiny hollow needle, one sperm is carefully injected into an egg.
After injection, the fertilized egg is observed for growth and development.
Once normal growth is observed, the embryo will be implanted into your uterus where it has a chance to implant and grow.
Some fertility clinics choose to use fresh sperm that have just been extracted, while others prefer to do the ICSI procedure with frozen sperm. There appears to be no difference in pregnancy rates between those who use fresh or frozen sperm during the ICSI process.

ICSI and male infertility
The ICSI procedure can help you achieve IVF pregnancy success even when male infertility problems are an issue. If your male partner has experienced any of the following problems, talk to your doctor about ICSI:
Absence of sperm in the semen, possibly caused by a blockage.
Low sperm count, poor sperm quality and/or abnormal sperm shape and movement.
Sperm unable to penetrate through the outer layer of your egg or production of antisperm antibodies.

Women may choose to freeze their eggs for many reasons. If a woman is undergoing cancer treatment, the radiation and the chemotherapy may affect her ovaries and kill the existing eggs. In this scenario, by egg freezing she can prevent effects of cancer and conceive later after the treatment. Women might wish to delay to have kids for having a demanding career.If a woman doesn’t want to freeze embryo after an IVF cycle, she can always go for egg freezing.

We ask our patients to produce a fresh sample of semen. It is then checked for sperm count, sperm motility, their shape. A cryoprotectant (a substance which reduces damage to the biological cells after freezing) is added to the sperms and stored in vials. These vials are then frozen to -196 ℃ in liquid nitrogen tanks.
All the biological and biochemical processes are stopped at such a low temperature. Sperms are normally stored for a maximum of 10 years in the sperm bank.
Whenever the patient and his partner want to conceive, the sperms can be used to perform artificial reproductive techniques like IUI, IVF, and ICSI treatment.

The embryos are then exchanged to patients that have been planned to have an exchange that is synchronized to the egg donor’s cycle. Any outstanding embryos are then put away with a very effective freezing technique known as vitrification.
There is a great possibility of twins happening therefore of the embryo transfer methodology. Since age does not influence a lady’s capacity to get pregnant with donated embryo, the odds of pregnancy stay high. In our Experience, we have found that a normal uterus and high quality embryo result in very high success rate.
Since the planned mother conceives the pregnancy and the embryos originate from an unknown donor, there are no lawful difficulties to parental rights. Ladies bringing forth a child will have their name put on the infant’s birth certificate and will have the chance to name the father of the infant with the end goal of the birth certificate.
