What is IVF (Test Tube Baby) Treatment? In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an advanced assisted reproductive technology (ART) where eggs and sperm are fertilized outside the body in a laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the woman’s uterus to achieve pregnancy. IVF is recommended for couples who have difficulty conceiving naturally due to female, male, or unexplained infertility issues. Who Can Benefit from IVF? IVF is an effective solution for: ✔ Blocked or Damaged Fallopian Tubes – Prevents natural fertilization. ✔ Severe Male Infertility – Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology. ✔ Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Affects ovulation and egg quality. ✔ Endometriosis – Uterine tissue growing outside the uterus, impacting fertility. ✔ Unexplained Infertility – When the cause of infertility is unknown after medical evaluation. ✔ Recurrent Pregnancy Loss – For women experiencing repeated miscarriages. ✔ Advanced Maternal Age – Women over 35 with reduced ovarian reserve. ✔ Tubal Ligation (Previous Family Planning Surgery) – IVF is an option without tubal reversal surgery. ✔ Genetic Disorders – Couples carrying inherited genetic conditions can use Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). Step-by-Step Process of IVF at Rajani Hospital 1. Initial Fertility Evaluation ✔ Hormonal Tests – FSH, LH, AMH, and estradiol to assess ovarian reserve. ✔ Ultrasound Scans – To check ovarian follicles and uterine lining. ✔ Semen Analysis – To evaluate sperm quality, count, and motility. ✔ Hysterosalpingography (HSG) or Hysteroscopy – To examine the uterus and fallopian tubes. 2. Ovarian Stimulation ✔ Fertility medications (Gonadotropins, Clomiphene, Letrozole) stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. ✔ Regular ultrasound monitoring to track follicular growth. ✔ hCG Trigger Injection is given to mature the eggs before retrieval. 3. Egg Retrieval (Ovum Pick-Up - OPU) ✔ A minor surgical procedure (aspiration via ultrasound guidance) is done to collect mature eggs. ✔ The patient is given mild sedation for comfort. 4. Sperm Collection & Fertilization ✔ Fresh or frozen sperm sample from the male partner or a sperm donor is prepared. ✔ Fertilization Methods: Conventional IVF: Sperm is mixed with eggs in a petri dish. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A single healthy sperm is directly injected into an egg for fertilization. 5. Embryo Culture & Development ✔ Fertilized embryos are monitored in a controlled lab environment for 3-5 days (Blastocyst stage). ✔ Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) can be performed to screen for genetic abnormalities. 6. Embryo Transfer ✔ A healthy embryo is transferred into the woman’s uterus using a thin catheter under ultrasound guidance. ✔ The procedure is painless and requires no anesthesia. 7. Luteal Phase Support & Pregnancy Test ✔ Progesterone supplements (tablets, injections, or vaginal suppositories) support implantation. ✔ Beta-hCG Blood Test is conducted 12-14 days post-transfer to confirm pregnancy. Advanced Techniques to Improve IVF Success ✔ Laser-Assisted Hatching (LAH) – Helps the embryo implant into the uterus. ✔ Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) – Embryos can be stored and used in future cycles. ✔ Egg & Sperm Freezing (Cryopreservation) – Useful for cancer patients or those planning delayed pregnancy. ✔ Donor Egg or Sperm Program – For couples with poor gamete quality.
