What is Infertility?
Infertility is 12 months or more of unprotected intercourse without pregnancy.
Primary infertility: Infertility without any previous pregnancy.
Secondary infertility: Fertility problems occurring in a couple that has conceived on their own and had a child in the past. Sterility: When there is no chance for a pregnancy. This is different from infertility which represents a reduced potential for pregnancy.
Most childless couples with a female age under about 42-44 that are having problems getting pregnant are considered to be infertile but not sterile.
Causes of infertility
Both fallopian tubes are absent or blocked due to surgery or tubal pregnancy) or infection (STD, or Tuberculosis) Endometriosis Reduced sperm count or motility (IVF can be normally performed for counts which are more than 5 million per ml. For counts less than 5 million per ml. ICSI is a better option.)
Patients with unexplained infertility where all the investigations performed on the couple are normal, but who still do not conceive with routine treatments. The cause of infertility is sought by performing some fertility tests in a basic infertility evaluation. These tests can usually be completed over the course of one menstrual cycle (one month).
Most common causes of fertility problems:
Ovulation problems
Tubal infertility
Sperm problems
Unexplained infertility
Fertility and female age issues
Egg quantity and quality problems
Less common causes of infertility:
Uterine problems and infertility
Infertility and endometriosis
Previous tubal ligation surgery - tied tubes
Previous vasectomy surgery
Infertility associated with immunological problems

Where do I start?
Choosing a fertility clinic
First decision you need to make is what clinic is best for you.
The Human Fertilization and Embryo Authority (HFEA) recommend that you do not base your choice solely on the 'live birth rate'. "You should also consider the treatments offered how comfortable you feel with the staff and the surroundings, what information and counseling is offered, the cost, and the location of the clinic. Take your time before you make a final decision and explore all the available options."
Success Rate
One of the important considerations in choosing Fertility clinic by mymeditrip India is the Success rate or live Birth Rate. Fertility experts suggest that a good rate is 30% which are comparable to the leading units in the world.
However, many live birth rates are misleading as clinics will record their rates differently and we do need to be aware of how they compile their statistics.
Cost of treatment
Cost of Treatment is often one of the deciding factors for many couples. We, at mymeditrip India work closely with the clinics to provide you a detailed information on the total treatment cost including the cost of any 'extras' such as drugs, collecting the eggs and implanting the embryos or surgery.
Our motto is to have complete transparency and no hidden costs.
Treatments offered
Mymeditrip India ensures and chooses partner clinics after ensuring that they offer comprehensive range of treatments and procedures. Also we also go into details regarding the storage facilities to freeze eggs or embryos and if it has access to donor sperm, eggs or embryos.
Counseling and support
Mymeditrip India also ensures that before you consent to this treatment, a counselor talks to you about the treatment you are having, or plan to have, so that you understand exactly what it involves and how it might affect you and those close to you - now and in the future. It will also cover the legal implications.

Procedure of In-Vitro-Fertilization Assisted Reproductive Technology
Any medical technique that attempts to obtain a pregnancy by means other than by intercourse is defined as Assisted Reproductive Technology. The various methods offered are:
Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI): This is the method by which processed semen is placed directly in the uterus with the help of a catheter. IUI can be done in a natural cycle using appropriate fertility enhancing drugs.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Embryo Transfer (ET): Commonly known as 'Test Tube Baby' IVF involves fertilization of an ovum outside the body and transfer of the fertilized ovum (embryo) into the uterus of the woman. IVF is probably the most widely practiced assisted conception procedure in the world. The procedure does not need admission at any step and is conducted on an outpatient basis.
Steps involved in IVF Procedure:
Ovarian stimulation by hormonal injections to produce multiple eggs
Monitoring of the response by ultrasound scans and blood tests
Egg retrieval with the help of a needle under local / general anesthesia
Fertilization of the eggs in laboratory
Transfer of the resulting embryo(s) into the uterus of the woman
Blood test performed 15 days after embryo transfer, to assess the establishment of pregnancy. If the treatment procedure is successful, one or more of the embryos will implant in the uterus and pregnancy will result, just as it happens in the natural process of conception.
Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): ICSI is the technological breakthrough in the field of IVF, which is used to overcome the inability of sperm to fertilize an egg. In this technique a sperm is directly injected into the cytoplasm of an egg in order to achieve fertilization. The steps involved in ICSI procedure are exactly the same as for IVF, except that fertilization is achieved with the help of a micromanipulator.
In some cases where there is a complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, sperm can be retrieved from the testis / epididymis and used for ICSI.
IVF using Donor Oocyte (Eggs): Women who are unable to produce their own eggs or whose eggs fail to fertilize during an IVF cycle due to poor Oocyte quality can be helped by using other women's eggs (Donor Oocyte). Replacement of donor embryos and surrogacy are other options available to the infertile couple.
Assisted Hatching: The procedure is based on alternation in the outer covering of the egg either by drilling a hole through it or by thinning it, will promote hatching or implantation of embryos that are otherwise unable to escape intact from the egg.
Cryo Preservation of Embryos: Excess (Surplus) Embryos can be cryo-preserved at ultra low temperatures for many years. These frozen embryos can be used subsequently without the need for ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval. However the pregnancy rate following transfer of frozen embryos is lower than that with fresh embryos.
Semen / Sperm Freezing: Semen/ Sperm or testicular biopsies can be stored frozen at ultra low temperatures for a long duration for future use or analysis.
