In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• Many couples suffer from infertility, and are not
  able to achieve pregnancy, for these persons ICSI
  cycle IVF and ART (Assisted Reproductive
  Techniques) will help to improve the chance for
  pregnancy.
• These procedures have excellent success rates and
  achieve much desired pregnancy.

3
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• IVF might be used to overcome infertility in the
  woman due to problems of the fallopian tube,
  which makes fertilization in vivo difficult.
• It also assist in male infertility where there
  is a deficiency in sperm quality and in such
  cases Intra Cytoplasm Sperm Injection(ICSI) may
  be used, where a sperm cell is injected directly
  into the egg cell.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• ICSI also used when sperm numbers are very low.
• If no sperm is available in a natural way, then
  embryologist may schedule a sperm retrieval
  process such as micro dissection, testicular
  biopsy, testicular sperm extraction (TESA) or
  percutaneous sperm aspirations (PESA) about the
  time of egg retrieval.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• Ovarian stimulation
• Fertility drugs, taken through injections are
  used to stimulate a womans ovaries to develop
  multiple mature eggs.
• This is because a normal cycle usually produces
  one egg only and pregnancy rates in IVF are
  better if a number of eggs can be retrieved and
  fertilized.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• These injections are usually given subcutaneously
  (under the skin) and are much less uncomfortable
  than the previous generations of medication.
• The embryologist monitors the progress of
  ovulation induction with ultrasounds and blood
  estrogen levels over several days.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• Egg retrieval
• When eggs are mature, they are retrieved by an
  ultrasound guided procedure that is performed
  under light anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
• During the process a needle is placed through the
  vaginal and into the ovaries and removes the
  fluid that contains the egg..

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• This process is performed by visualizing the
  follicle with a vaginal ultrasound probe. A
  needle is directed alongside the probe through
  the vaginal wall and into the ovary.
• To avoid any discomfort, strong, short acting
  intravenous sedation is provided

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• Fertilization
• Once the fluid is removed from the follicle, eggs
  are placed in incubator in the lab. The eggs
  should be fertilized with sperm in the same day.
• Now provide a semen sample from male partner
  which is healthiest sperm will be extracted.

10
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• The eggs are fertilized by ICSI (Intra
  Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) which is most
  commonly recommended as part of the IVF
  process when there is a problem with the sperm or
  egg, including sperm low motility, low sperm
  count or abnormally shaped sperm.
• It takes approximately 18 hours to determine if
  fertilization occurs and 24 72 hours to
  establish the growth of embryo.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• Embryo Transfer
• Embryos are transferred within 3 to 6 days after
  egg retrieval.
• It is recommended to grow the embryos for five to
  six days until they reach the blastocyst stage. 
• Embryo transfer is a simple technique and
  anesthesia is not required.

12
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

• They are placed through cervix into the uterine
  cavity using a small soft catheter.
• Embryo Cryopreservation Sometimes during the IVF
  procedure extra embryos develop during the cycle.
  
• If the embryos are of good quality, then they can
  be frozen and stored for future transfer.
