Cryopreservation is a technique in which various cells of the body, sperms, and ovaries; ovarian or testicular tissue can be frozen at an extremely low temperature to avoid its degradation and can be used in future, whenever required. The most effective solution used to freeze cells is liquid nitrogen, which freezes cells at a permissible temperature of -196̊ C. The cells or the gametes are […]
Egg preservation and embryo freezing is a new experimental technique, where-in, a woman facing infertility, due to medical-condition or social-reason; undergoes egg freezing and storage. The eggs thus obtained, are placed under cryopreservation, for later-use when they are older. Egg freezing and cryopreservation is preceded by blood examination, to check the Inhibin-B levels. The Inhibin B is a fertility-hormone produced by ovaries. A higher Inhibin-B […]
Biological clock in fertility The biological body function & bio-mechanisms in reproductive mechanism are regulated by hormonal activity. The female system reaches peak performance levels, at the age of 27 years. On attaining this age, the effectiveness of ovulation & ovarian reserve count begins to decline. Menopause & Andropause Menopause is ceasing of menstruation, in females between age group 45 and 50 years. The significance […]

The abbreviations are listed to assist on developing better understanding of the surrogacy process. These terms finds wider use & acceptance in online pregnancy forums, chat rooms and support groups on surrogacy discussion: ART: Assisted Reproductive Technology Assisted reproductive […]
Spotting refers to occurrence of light bleeding to remove traces of old blood & mucous from genital track. Spotting leads to discharge of fresh red blood cells, for a couple of days. Spotting can be best interpreted as blood loss in smaller quantity. The occurrence of spotting phenomenon should not be confused with conception success or miscarriage incidence in pregnancy term. The common reasons of […]
Based on high technical expertise and desirability: the most successful IVF is the one that is planned. Reputation, experience, longevity, success rates and cost, should determine the selection of right IVF team for your infertility treatment. Conduct research, clear every doubt in your mind, and keep pace with innovations in medical technology. Realize your budget to ensure affordability and to receive qualified support during your […]
Unexplained fertility also called idiopathic infertility is condition, where normal infertility tests, do not provide reason behind failure to get pregnant. Unexplained fertility has origin in four root causes, endometriosis, tubal disease, POA and immunological infertility. Patients with endometriosis disease, carry lower “egg count & oocyte quality”, at oocyte retrieval stage, lowering implantation & pregnancy rate. Unexplained infertility in males is diagnosed, during normal evaluation […]
Repeated miscarriage or miscarriage of implanted embryo from uterine wall leads to premature termination. The repeated incidents of miscarriage, for three consequent times, in five month pregnancy duration, are termed repeated miscarriages. The expectant mother may develop anxiety at failure to reach positive conception and live birth rates. An inflammation in uterine lining can lead to bio-chemical conditions, leading to repeated miscarriage. Top reasons of […]
A number of physiological conditions represent causes leading to IVF failures: Increasing maternal age, decreased number of oocyte collected by surgical aspiration, decreased availability of transferable mature eggs, decreased quality of embryos, elevated FSH levels, poor response to fertility medication, unexplained infertility, variation in experience & medical infrastructure at embryology lab. Reduced endometrial thickening & autoimmune responses in endometrial receptivity also has potential to create […]
In Virto Maturation is a process similar to IVF approach, where oocyte is removed, at immature stage from Fallopian tube. The eggs are incubated in lab to maturity level, before micro-manipulation in micro-environment to create fertile embryos. IVM or In Vitro Maturation is a preferred method, over IVF In Vitro Fertilization, in outspread or manifestation of Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome and Poly cystic Ovarian Syndrome, in […]
