WHAT IS IVF ?
Have you heard of fertilization happening in glass? This is exactly the process of In vitro fertilisation (IVF) where an egg is combined with sperm in glass; also where the term “in vitro” comes from.
IVF is one of the assisted reproductive technologies (ART) that helps with conditions of infertility. This process taking place in a laboratory, involves the removal of egg from the ovaries of the woman and fertilizing the same by sperm in a liquid in a glass. This fertilized egg can now be implanted in the uterus and voila thus leading to pregnancy!
IVF defies the impossibility of pregnancy to infertile partners and even to women who have reached menopause.
IVF also helps parents who may want to opt for gestational surrogacy where the child will be genetically unrelated to the surrogate.
CAUSES OF INFERTILITY
Infertility is the inability to conceive children after 12 months or more of trying. Women who can conceive but are unable to stay pregnant may also be deemed infertile. It refers to the difficulties of both getting pregnant or staying pregnant. It can be a problem owing to various factors, some of which are common to both men and women. They can be-
Age of both partners is crucial to attaining pregnancy. For women, it is usually in their late thirties that they can begin experiencing a gradual decline in fertility as the quantity and quality of eggs is likely to go down. Men older than 40 years of age may be less fertile.
Weight influences fertility a great deal. Obesity of one or both the partners is likely to impact fertility. On the contrary, anorexic partners with eating disorders or those following restrictive diets with low calories are just as likely to be impacted.
Lifestyle has a significant impact on fertility of both the partners. Lack of exercise coupled with poor nutrition poses severe risk of infertility.
Alcohol use during conception or pregnancy is unsafe for women. It also decreases sperm count in men when consumed heavily.
Tobacco or intoxicating psychoactive substances is just as unsafe for parents trying to conceive as they may result in frequent miscarriages in women and erectile dysfunction in men.
CAUSES OF FEMALE INFERTILITY
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has to be the most common cause of infertility as one in five (20%) Indian women suffer from PCOS. This hormonal disorder is characterized by a series of small cysts on the enlarged ovaries which disrupts the menstrual cycle.
- Endometriosis is another condition that makes pregnancy difficult. The fallopian tubes are blocked by extra tissue growing outside the uterus thereby disrupting implantation. In addition to that, it has a tendency of altering the quality of the eggs.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and other infections that are pelvic inflammatory are a very common cause of tubal blockage in women.
- Ovarian cancer affects fertility as chemotherapy may damage your ovary. Cancer treatment may require the removal of both the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the uterus.
- Autoimmune disorders like diabetes are also a threat to fertility in women. They increase the risk of miscarriages and preterm labor.
- Congenital uterine anomalies are abnormalities of the uterus present since birth. However rare, it can make pregnancy hard.
CAUSES OF MALE INFERTILITY
- A low sperm count (under 15 million) makes natural conception difficult. One in three couples face difficulties in conceiving due to the same.
- Cancer is yet another factor contributing to infertility in men as chemotherapy is capable of damaging sperm and sperm causing cells. Radiation therapy impairs sperm production and lowers testosterone levels in men.
- Environmental factors such as frequent exposure to heat in saunas can affect the production of sperm.
- Gene defects and chromosome abnormalities can be associated with a low sperm count.
- Steroids help to build up muscle bulk but in the process it shrinks the testicles and lowers testosterone levels there, leading to lower sperm count.
- Varicocele or the swelling of the veins around the testicles may lead to fertility issues as these veins affect motility.
STEPS INVOLVED IN IN-VITRO FERTILIZATION
Ovulation induction: Injections or medicines of fertility hormones are given to the woman to stimulate her ovaries and boost the production of eggs. In a typical ovulatory month, only one egg is produced whereas with the stimulation of a fertility drug, the ovaries produce around 10 to 15 eggs.
Egg harvesting: With a simple painless surgical procedure, eggs are then trans-vaginally collected from the ovaries with the help of a scan probe. Although the process is painless, it is done under anaesthesia as it may be a little uneasy for the woman. Sperm is also collected from the male partner on the same day.
Fertilization: The collected eggs and sperm is then carefully fused in a lab to create several embryos using any of the varying technologies of fertilization. These may include Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS).
Embryo Culture: The many embryos are now observed in an incubator as they divide from two to four and then eight cells. They are then graded based on their appearance and integrity. This may take upto 5 days.
Embryo Transfer: With the help of ultrasound, the uterus of a woman is watched. 1 or 2 healthy embryo, using a thin tube inserted into the vagina, is then placed in the uterus.
Pregnancy: A blood test determines pregnancy after 10-14 days. Six weeks into the pregnancy, an ultrasound is performed to check for a heartbeat.

Advanced IVF techniques Manmohini Health Care provides:
IVF: In Vitro Fertilization is the most common procedure of treating infertility. It is the process of fertilization of an egg by sperm outside of a woman’s body in a laboratory.
ICSI: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is an advanced procedure to achieve fertilisation. This process involves injecting a single spermatozoa directly into an egg that will later become an embryo. The technique is commonly used to treat male factor infertility.
Sperm Cryopreservation: Semen freezing or semen banking is the most successful method of preserving a man’s fertility by preserving sperm cells at cryogenic temperatures, typically at dry ice temperature (-80°C). This freezing and storage aids artificial insemination in future treatment cycles. The results of successful IVF treatments using a frozen sperm is just as using fresh sperm. There are no risks from using frozen sperm in infertility treatments.
Embryo Cryopreservation: After fertilization, embryos in the early stages are preserved at sub zero temperatures. Frozen embryos can be thawed later in a lab and used to achieve pregnancy later. There are no cons of using a frozen embryo as they tend to be just as young and healthy as they were at the time they were frozen. With flash freezing, it is also possible to freeze eggs before they are fertilized.
Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS): Prior to implantation, the embryo is generally biopsied when it is at a very advanced stage of development (blastocyst stage). A few of these biopsied cells are analyzed to count the number of chromosomes within each cell to determine whether the cells in the embryo have the right number of chromosomes. This screening is done to look for potential genetic abnormalities. A normal number of chromosomes in the embryo are classified as “euploid” and those with an abnormal number are “aneuploid.” PGS is a preventive measure that avoids the transfer of an embryo with chromosomal abnormalities into the uterus.
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): A known parental chromosomal abnormality is highly likely to be passed down from parents to the child. PGD detects the specific genetic disorder with the help of genetic testing of an embryo for a specific gene mutation[s]. Just like PGS, PGD also analyzes biopsied cells extracted from the embryo.
