In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Program
Numerous couples seeking to conceive naturally face challenges even after initial therapies like ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or reproductive surgery. For these couples, the next step often involves exploring Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), commonly referred to as Test Tube Baby.
What is in Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a specialized procedure where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body (“in vitro,” meaning “in glass”). IVF supports fertilization, embryo development, and implantation. This involves medication (oral and injections) and surgical procedures to facilitate egg-sperm fertilization.
Initially, medication is administered to mature eggs for fertilization. Eggs are then extracted from the body; some can be frozen for future use. Eggs are combined with sperm to form embryos, which are later transferred into the uterus. Pregnancy occurs when an embryo implants in the uterine lining.
An IVF cycle takes about 2-3 weeks for completion, however; pretreatment can take couple of months before starting the actual cycle in some cases. Multiple cycles may be necessary for successful IVF pregnancy, contingent on age and other factors. While IVF increases pregnancy chances for couples facing infertility, fertility clinics cannot guarantee 100% success.

Who should go for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)?
- Both Fallopian tubes blocked as a result of any disease or previous surgical procedure.
- The partner with reduced sperm count (Oligozoospermia) or motility (Asthenospermia) Antibodies to the gamete.
- Endometriosis i.e. the endometrium (lining of the womb) which is normally inside the uterus, appears on the structures outside the uterus.
- Unexplained Infertility (refer to couples in whom no obvious pathology is found but who cannot conceive in spite of primary treatments like ovulation induction and IUI).
IVF can assist women with absent ovaries or no eggs by using donated oocytes from a young donor with proven fertility.
What kind of IVF Medications are given?
Medications are essential during the IVF cycle to prepare the body for treatment. They are particularly crucial for women with ovulatory disorders and undergoing IVF. Injectable medications are used to stimulate the ovaries and promote the development of mature eggs by releasing hormones that regulate ovulation. These medications may also be used to prepare the uterus.
Specific medication instructions vary for each patient. The medical team at Xenith will carefully assess your case to determine the appropriate medications, dosage, timing of administration, and duration of treatment.
