• In Vitro Fertilisation is fast becoming the
  preferred choice of treatment among childless
  couples in the country.
•  Delhi, 23 August 2017 Arunima and Nitin (names
  changed to protect identity) had been married for
  five years. Everything was ok till they planned
  to expand their family. When even after trying
  for six months to have a baby, noting happened

• Medical technology has changed so much for the
  better. Today we are very happy that we opted for
  this procedure. Though Nitin was positive about
  it from the day the gynaecologist suggested it, I
  was quite apprehensive at the beginning. But
  after having multiple discussions with the
  doctor, I felt confident. Today I would advise
  all those couples who are having trouble to have
  babies to give it a thought, states Arunima.

• When all other assisted reproductive technology
  fail to produce results, In Vitro Fertilization,
  or IVF as it is popularly known, comes to the
  rescue of childless couples. IVF is the process
  of fertilisation by manually combining an egg and
  sperm in a laboratory dish, and then transferring
  the embryo to the uterus.

• Talking about the growth of IVF in India, Dr
  Manish Banker, Director, Nova IVI Fertility,
  says, The past 14 years have seen India grow to
  become a preferred destination for infertility
  treatment. The pace of change is enormous and new
  challenges and issues are arising all the time.
  Currently, one in every eight couples has
  problems conceiving a child.This is largely due
  to the ever-changing lifestyle that young couples
  are leading. It is important that everyone
  involved in infertility research and treatment
  keep a close watch on what the future is
  bringing.

• Agrees Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour, Director of SCI
  Healthcare. India by virtue of its large
  population projected to be 1.25 billion has a
  large number of couples who require assistance to
  achieve pregnancy. Infertility in the country is
  rising in line with the global infertility trend,
  she points out.
•  
• The success rate of the treatment varies widely
  and is different for different couples. There are
  a host of factors that determine the outcome and
  that's the reason average statistics may not be
  contextually applicable.
•  
• The age of the woman, the status of the uterus,
  actual IMAGES BAZAAR cause of infertility, the
  quality of the semen, the total number of embryos
  that have been transferred and cyro-preserved,
  the total number, the maturity level and the
  quality of eggs that are retrieved play a vital
  role, too, and the success or failure rate of the
  fertilisation and cleavage in the vitro procedure
  are some of the factors that affect IVF's success
  rate.

• Also selecting the right fertility centre is the
  first step to ensure success.There are a number
  of questions to ask regarding the cost and
  details of specific centres and fertility
  programmes. Ensure to check the credibility,
  cost, convenience, and details of the programme
  before making a decision.
•  
• Case in point is M Bhatia. Scientifically it has
  been cited by experts as is near to impossible to
  bear a child after 10 failed IVF cycles but here
  comes the miraculous child born after 15 failed
  IVF cycles. The hope of bearing a child finally
  conquers the fear produced by repeated failures
  of IVF cycles.
•  
• The customized IVF protocols were developed for
  the patient which handled the unreceptive
  endometrium with the latest technology. The
  personalized treatment and IVF therapy led to the
  successful IVF cycle as Mrs Bhatia conceived the
  child who is one year old now, shares Dr Manika
  Khanna, Gaudium IVF India.
