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 […]
The multiple or more than one embryo formation during IVF is frozen using liquid nitrogen at minus -196 ̊C. These frozen embryos, are utilized to achieve fertilization, in next cycle run of IVF. This technique is called Frozen-Embryo Transfer or FET. The advantage of FET or Frozen-Embryo-Transfer is that, the technique prevents or preludes, hormonal stimulation & egg collection again and again. Embryos are frozen […]
IVF is a procedure in which mature ova is fertilized with male-sperm, outside the body environment. The initial monitoring and stimulation of female cycle results in super-ovulation. Super-ovulation is followed by removal of mature egg, or oocyte retrieval. The ovum or egg collected, are fused with fertile sperm cells, isolated on petri plates, containing nutrient media. The embryo obtained is cultured for a minimum of […]
A commercial surrogacy arrangement or commercial surrogacy refers to carrying the pregnancy in one’s womb by a female, for intended parents, registered on the facility. Intended parents may seek a surrogacy arrangement, when medical issues, make pregnancy either impossible, or pregnancy is considered far too risky, to the mother’s health. The pregnancy, in case of gestational surrogacy, results from the transfer of embryos. The child-born […]
ICSI is a short acronym on Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection. ICSI is an Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART), procedure that integrates a healthy sperm cell, directly into the mature egg cell, in vitro condition. The use of surgical injection tool, favours fusion of sperm cell with mature egg to achieve fertilization. The glass micro-pipette, collects a single-sperm isolated on culture medium, to lead a fusion at egg-cytoplasm. […]
Back pain is a common occurrence during pregnancy. The developing fetus & baby-fat deposit at your abdominal region, forces a protruding belly-shape, resulting in unequal pressure at upper and lower end of backbone. The physiological action of ligament-loosening hormones Human Placental lactogen, Relaxin and Oxytocin , weight gain from sedentary life-style & a shifting center of gravity as a result of pregnancy-belly, adds up to […]
Azoospermia is a condition in men, with no or deficient levels of sperm, in semen. Azoospermia is detected in infertility investigation. Confirmation of azoospermia is based on two semen analysis evaluations, done at separate occasions. The medical test to confirm azoospermia includes a testis biopsy, performed under local anesthesia. Sperm mapping is a non-surgical alternative to the testis biopsy that is accomplished by technique called […]
The fusion of egg and sperm in natural environment, in womb leads to formation of embryo in surrogate. The similar feat can be achieved by use by IVF, to give birth to surrogacy baby. During the early growth of the multi-cell embryo, all of the energy and chemicals required for cell division, come from the mother’s egg. An embryo begins its growth as a single […]
