Advancements in Fertility Treatment

• Refining IVF Technology—Minimal Stimulation IVF
• Freezing of Eggs, Sperms & Embryos
• PGS-Pre Implantation Genetic Screening
• Personalized Embryo Transfer
• IMSI-IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection
• Ovarian Tissue Freezing

Getting pregnant is not a cakewalk  for some people, but some major advancements in fertility treatment making it so much easier for couples who need fertility care and support.

Over the past few years, reproductive medicine has gone from nascent experiments with IVF to be able to help millions of individuals and fertility-challenged couples conceive.

Advances in fertility treatments, endocrinology, especially IVF have made possible what once seemed impossible. On a yearly basis, the safety & effectiveness of fertility treatments are just getting better and better.

Let’s check out some exciting fertility breakthroughs:

1. Refining IVF Technology—Minimal Stimulation IVF
2. Freezing of Eggs, Sperms & Embryos
3. PGS-Pre Implantation Genetic Screening
4. IMSI-IntraCytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection
5. Ovarian Tissue Freezing

1. Refining IVF Technology

The world’s first test-tube baby was conceived through IVF and born in the UK in 1978. Since then this procedure has improved by leaps and bounds rising from 1-2% of success rate to contemporary heights of 20-70% of success rates. Millions of couples have undergone this procedure and embraced their parenthood.

Some of the advancements in IVF are paving the way to make a major difference. Improved technologies such as the use of donor eggs, embryonic chromosomal screening, usage of patient oriented refined hormonal medication, and more minimally invasive procedures all together have improved the success rates of IVF. Laser assisted hatching techniques have been crucial for successful implantations in frozen embryo transfer cycles.

Minimal Stimulation IVF—Minimal stimulation/Micro/Mini-IVF, uses lower doses of medications. It is used to lessen the effect of heavy doses of stimulation medications on the body used in standard IVF. Minimal stimulation/ Mini-IVF costs less than standard IVF, moreover producing, often, fewer but better-quality eggs. When the AMH levels of a woman are poor then this could be an alternative option.

2. Freezing of Eggs, Sperms & Embryos

In 1984, the first birth was recorded from a frozen embryo. This breakthrough came after the 1st baby was conceived through frozen sperm. Just 2 years later, the first baby was born using a frozen egg. Freezing eggs, sperms as well as embryos have become a standard option for treating fertility problems. Even women who are undergoing cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, can now preserve their healthy eggs.

Couples who are opting for IVF can also use cryopreserved embryos for future use. Moreover, this procedure helps couples who are unable to conceive.

3. PGS-Pre Implantation Genetic Screening

PGS– preimplantation genetic screening  is a key technique that checks the genes, cells, & chromosomes of IVF-created embryos.

Chromosomal screening and cell-division monitoring, now can be performed on embryos that are developed up to five days old. PGS offers a more extensive and clear genetic analysis compared to the tests that were used to be carried out earlier.

PGS technique can improve the success rates of successful and healthy pregnancies by identifying chromosomally healthy embryos and reduces the rates of miscarriages by half.

4. IMSI-IntraCytoplasmic Morphologically selected Sperm Injection

IMSI– is an advanced  technique used in IVF, through which selection of a  good-quality sperm under high magnification is done and then injected into the egg. This technique allows doctors or fertility specialists to assess the sperm health and its structure and even suspect variations in them. 

IMSI is an enhanced selection procedure that can improve likelihood of fertilization and normal embryo development. This process is most commonly preferred for overcoming male fertility issues like low sperm count, sperm abnormalities, men with infections, vasectomy, and frozen sperms.

5. Ovarian Tissue Freezing

This is a relatively new breakthrough in fertility preservation, where ovarian tissue freezing involves removing, freezing and then re-implanting the ovarian tissue in women. Ovarian tissue freezing protects delicate egg cells from deteriorating upon vitrification. This process is helpful for women who are going for critical treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation or to delay their family building for various reasons.
