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 […]
Surrogacy jargon represents acronyms on different terms, participants and technology process or innovation in surrogacy. The common surrogacy jargon is listed here under for your referral. 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 […]
Assisted Hatching is a reproductive medicine maneuver to bring rupture or split in egg wall. The technique is administered in higher reproductive age females, above 35-37 years age or higher. The additional medical condition where assisted hatching procedure brings better embryo creation includes: Females with higher FSH Follicle Stimulating Hormone levels, leading to thicker zona pellucida layer in oocyte. Repeated IVF cycle run failures. […]
Tubal infertility Tubal infertility refers to damage of fallopian tubes. The fallopian tube connects ovaries to uterine cavity, releasing mature oocyte from ovary to uterus. A damage or blockage of fallopian tubes, results in ovulation failure, thus preventing conception. The status of fallopian tubes can be detected by application of X-ray based diagnostic technique called hysterosalpingogram. Alternatively, radio-logical imaging, with pelvic ultrasound is used to […]
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 […]

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 […]
