- Freezing of embryos by vitrification
- Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic correction of problems that affect fertility
- Microsurgery for male infertility
Why a combined approach helps
Infertility is a problem of the couple, not of one person. Here a gynaecologist and IVF specialist and a urologist and andrologist work in the same hospital, so tests for both partners can be done early and the plan takes both into account.
Dr. Sridevi completed training in infertility, IVF, ICSI, ovulation induction, ovum pick up, cryopreservation, vitrification and blastocyst culture, including hands-on training in human assisted reproduction (2013) and an ART training course at Ankur Fertility Centre (2017).
How an IVF cycle works
Consultation and tests
Both partners are evaluated with scans, blood tests and semen analysis.
Ovarian stimulation
Daily injections help the ovaries produce several eggs, monitored with scans.
Egg collection
Eggs are collected in a short procedure, and the sperm sample is prepared.
Fertilisation
Eggs are fertilised by IVF or ICSI and the embryos are grown in the lab.
Embryo transfer
A selected embryo is placed in the uterus. Extra good embryos can be frozen.
Pregnancy test
A blood test about two weeks later shows whether the cycle was successful.
Common questions
When should a couple get a fertility check?
If you have been trying for a year without success, or six months if the woman is above 35, it is a good time for both partners to be evaluated. Come earlier if there are irregular periods, known health issues or past surgery.
What is the difference between IVF and ICSI?
In IVF, eggs and sperm are placed together in the lab so fertilisation can happen naturally. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected into each egg. ICSI is often used when sperm count or movement is low.
Why are both partners tested?
Fertility problems can come from the male partner, the female partner or both. Testing both from the start saves time and helps choose the right treatment.
Can embryos be frozen for later?
Yes. Good quality embryos can be frozen by vitrification and used in a later cycle, which can avoid repeating the full stimulation process.
