IVF Treatment In Gurgaon

IVF treatment involves the collection of eggs and sperms and fertilization takes place in a special laboratory. The treatment cycle is based on the monthly menstrual cycle and the fertilized embryo is transferred to the uterus during this cycle. Embryo transfer usually occurs 4-5 days after the egg retrieval and it is a simple procedure that only takes less than half an hour. Your fertility specialist will discuss with you about your chances of getting pregnant in one cycle and factors affecting the chances of success.

With the advancement of technology, instead of many injections that were given intramuscularly, only a few little injections are given under the skin (subcutaneous). These are barely painful. The only procedure that could be considered minor surgery in the IVF process is the retrieval of the eggs from the ovary. It is carried out under anesthesia and you will not feel any pain. In pain or discomfort terms, an embryo transfer is often compared to a PAP smear. The slight pain is temporary and will lessen in an hour or two.

At the beginning of the treatment, you will receive ovulation stimulation injections for the body to produce more mature eggs for retrieval. Typically, you will receive injections for 8 to 10 days. For most people, these injections are mildly painful and any slight discomfort is over within a few seconds.

Till date, millions of babies have been born across the globe with IVF treatment and many studies have been carried out to understand the birth defects in children conceived through IVF. There is no direct connection between IVF and birth defects. Additionally, the preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) can be used to identify the genetically abnormal IVF embryos and can help to select only healthy embryos to implant in the intended mother’s uterus.

In the IVF process, the eggs and sperms are collected and fertilization takes place in a test tube, in other words, outside the human body. Hence the babies are called test-tube babies.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) enables the identification of genetic diseases in the embryo and this method can also be used for preimplantation sex selection. In India, however, using assisted reproductive technology to pre-select a baby’s gender is illegal and IVF can only be used for checking for genetic abnormalities in the fetus.

There is no direct evidence that fertility drugs have any role in increasing a mother’s risk of invasive ovarian, breast, or uterine cancer. In general, drugs and anesthetics given during IVF are relatively safe and have minimal, temporary side effects that can be managed.

They even claim that women needed fewer drugs to help them ovulate during the summer months.
