IVF

In vitro fertilisation (also known as IVF) is when fertilisation takes place in the laboratory. This advanced fertility treatment involves much more than just fertilising eggs and sperm. It is vital to assess and optimise male fertility prior to embarking on any IVF cycle.

When to choose IVF

With the correct prior investigations and optimisation of fertility, in vitro fertilisation can help patients overcome some causes of infertility and help those who wish to start a family.

In vitro fertilisation would be an option for those couples experiencing tubal factor infertility, ovulatory imbalances and where male fertility has been investigated and improved prior to the procedure.

If a woman experiences fertility treatment failure or recurrent miscarriages, we might class her as a potential candidate for IVF with genetic testing of the embryos.

IUI

An IUI is one way to make pregnancy happen, even when it's not happening on its own. IUI is considered to be an intermediate treatment modality before attempting use of advanced treatments like IVF/ICSI.

The success rate of IUI depends on the following factors -

  • AGE OF THE WOMAN
  • USE OF FERTILITY DRUGS
  • CAUSE OF INFERTILITY
  • NO. OF INSEMINATION PER CYCLE
