IVF

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the most advanced and effective fertility treatments available today. It offers hope to couples and individuals struggling with infertility, helping them achieve their dream of parenthood. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a highly skilled fertility specialist, specializes in IVF, providing personalized care and cutting-edge technology to maximize the chances of success.

IVF is a fertility treatment where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus, where they can implant and develop into a pregnancy. IVF is often recommended for:

• Blocked Fallopian Tubes: When the fallopian tubes are damaged or blocked.
• Male Infertility: Low sperm count or poor sperm motility.
• Ovulation Disorders: Conditions like PCOS that affect ovulation.
• Unexplained Infertility: When no clear cause of infertility is found.
• Advanced Maternal Age: For women over 35 who are struggling to conceive.

IVF offers several advantages for couples and individuals facing infertility:

• High Success Rates: One of the most effective fertility treatments available.
• Versatility: Can be used with donor eggs, donor sperm, or surrogacy.
• Genetic Screening: Allows for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to screen for genetic disorders.
• Hope for Complex Cases: Effective for severe male infertility, endometriosis, or other challenging conditions.

Dr. Kanchi Khurana guides her patients through each step of the IVF process with care and expertise:

1. Ovarian Stimulation

• Fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
• Regular monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds ensures optimal egg development.

2. Egg Retrieval

• A minor surgical procedure is performed to retrieve eggs from the ovaries.
• The procedure is done under sedation and takes about 20-30 minutes.

3. Fertilization

• Eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory using conventional IVF or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection).
• The fertilized eggs (embryos) are monitored for growth and development.

4. Embryo Transfer

• One or more healthy embryos are transferred into the uterus using a thin catheter.
• The procedure is quick and painless, similar to a Pap smear.

5. Pregnancy Test

• A blood test is conducted about 10-14 days after the transfer to confirm pregnancy.

The success of IVF depends on factors such as:

• Age: Younger women generally have higher success rates.
• Cause of Infertility: Some conditions may affect outcomes.
