What is IVF?

An IVF cycle begins with Ovulation Induction from which Eggs are collected and mixed with a sample of the husband’s sperms. The mixture of eggs and sperms is incubated in a suitable environment in the laboratory. The procedure of egg collection involves a small operation performed under light sedation on an outpatient basis. The operation is virtually painless and the patient can go home approximately four hours later. The eggs fertilize in the laboratory and divide over 2-3 days. The resulting embryos are then gently replaced into the uterus by a simple and painless procedure. If the embryos implant into the lining of the womb, a pregnancy occurs. Know more about IVF treatment.

What is ICSI?

When the husband’s sperms have poor movement or the count is very low, IVF will not work, as the sperms will not be able to enter the eggs. In these situations, ICSI is the only option. This technique is carried out under a very powerful microscope. By means of a very fine needle, each egg is injected with a single sperm. If fertilization and cleavage occur, the embryos are then replaced into the uterus.

What is PGD?

PGD is a form of early prenatal diagnosis that is used to detect chromosomal abnormalities in the resulting embryo. It identifies embryos at risk and allows for the prevention of transmission of inherited diseases to the next generation and/or a possible miscarriage during the pregnancy. PGD is also used to identify an embryo’s gender and is popularly used for gender selection of the baby.

What is artificial insemination?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or Artificial Insemination is a fertility treatment that includes placing sperm into the woman’s uterus to expedite pregnancy conception. The purpose of IUI is to increase the sperm numbers that reach egg as it travels down the fallopian tubes and eventually boosts the chances of fertilization. IUI is the least invasive infertility procedure and inexpensive when compared to IVF and ICSI .

Can embryos be stored?

Embryos left over from an IVF and ICSI cycle may be stored and used for subsequent cycles should a couple wish to have conceive again or at a later stage in life. The freezing of embryos is termed Cryopreservation and the process by which it is done is called Vitrification. The advantage of being able to utilize frozen embryos is that a couple can put off another pregnancy for whatever reason, without being too limited by increasing maternal age. Additionally, it costs less to use embryos frozen from a previous cycle when compared with a whole new Assisted Reproductive Cycle.

How long will the treatment take?

Infertility treatment in Dubai and Infertility treatment in Sharjah at Conceive (تصور دبي), is based upon the female menstrual cycle and is done in sync with it and will involve and revolve around the menstruation and ovulation period of the wife.
