                                                    EMBRYO DONATION PROGRAM Embryo donation is a procedure that enables embryos either that were created by couples undergoing fertility treatment or that were created from donor sperm and donor eggs specifically for the purpose of donation to be transferred to infertile patients in order to achieve a pregnancy. Embryo donation takes place in an anonymous, semi-open, or open arrangement. An anonymous donation happens when the recipient and the donor are unaware of each other’s identity. A semi-open donation allows some basic information to be shared but addresses or contact details are kept hidden. In an open arrangement, both concerned families know each other’s identity and can connect to each other before, during, and after the donation. After an embryo is frozen, it is possible to store it for lon...

                                                    EGG DONATION PROGRAM If you do not have eggs that will successfully fertilize and result in a healthy pregnancy due to various medical conditions or simply because of your age, your fertility specialist may recommend using an egg donor. Egg donation is a suitable infertility treatment for women with any of the following conditions: Diminished ovarian function due to ovarian cysts Cancer of the ovaries or other ovary disease Lacking ovaries Compromised egg or embryo quality Poor ovarian response to fertility medications Diagnosed or suspected of genetic disease Family history of genetic disease Egg donation has also been shown to be a successful treatment for women who have had multiple IVF (in vitro fertilization) cycles and failed to achieve a pregnancy. As a potential egg donor recipient...

                                                SURGICAL SPERM RECOVERY Surgical sperm retrieval may be a treatment option for men with: An obstruction preventing sperm release, due to injury or infection Congenital absence of the vas deferens (men born without the tube that drains the sperm from the testicle) Vasectomy Non-obstructive azoospermia - the testicles are producing such low numbers of sperm that they don't reach the vas In the first three conditions, sperm are produced by the testes, but are unable to be ejaculated because of the blockage or absence of the vas. The man can still ejaculate seminal fluid but this fluid will not contain any sperm. It is possible to collect sperm directly from the epididymis. Some men have orgasms but no semen comes out of the penis. An orgasm is the physical experience that happens because of sexual stimulation. E...

                                               PRE-IMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS Preimplantation genetic testing is a technique used to identify genetic defects in embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) before pregnancy. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) refers specifically to when one or both genetic parents has a known genetic abnormality and testing is performed on an embryo to determine if it also carries a genetic abnormality. In contrast, preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) refers to techniques where embryos from presumed chromosomally normal genetic parents are screened for aneuploidy. Because only unaffected embryos are transferred to the uterus for implantation, preimplantation genetic testing provides an alternative to current postconception diagnostic procedures (ie, amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling), which are fre...

                                                                  POOR OVARIAN RESERVE Fertility peaks before the age of thirty and thereafter, it is believed to decline gradually. Poor ovarian reserve (POR) is an important limiting factor for the success of any treatment modality for infertility. It indicates a reduction in quantity and quality of oocytes in women of reproductive age group. A woman’s prime reproductive years are typically between her late teens and late 20s. As they move past that window, the number of eggs in her reserve naturally goes down. So does their quality since the eggs they are more likely to have abnormal chromosomes that make conception harder. As a result, the woman’s ability to get pregnant will start to decrease steadily after age 30. By age 45, it’s unlikely that most women will get p...

                                                           MALE INFERTILITY The role of a male counterpart is very crucial for any pregnancy. Although in most cases, the woman faces internal problems and is unable to get pregnant, there are so many reasons which may influence a woman’s inability to have a baby naturally and one those reasons is Male Infertility. Hence, men also need infertility treatment just like the females do. Male Infertility is known as a male’s inability to make a woman pregnant. This is usually due to low quality / quantity of semen. Men facing issues in low quality of semen must to go for a sperm sample test to check for infertility. Based on the results obtained from the tests, further action can be taken and an appropriate treatment can be suggested by the doctor. Although this treatment is less expe...
