• In IUI, the best quality sperms from aspiring father are processed in the lab and innoculated inside uterus. This is an OPD procedure and does not require anaesthesia or OT intervention.
  Who should go for IUI?
• Patients with anovulatory problems
•  Cervical mucous blocking sperm entry
• Mild male infertility
• Ejaculation problem
• Erection disorder
• Those who have tried for one year and still failed to conceive.

In the process of IVF, multiple eggs or ova are retrieved from an aspiring mother after giving injections to stimulate and grow multiple eggs. Then these eggs are fertilized with the aspiring father’s sperms in a lab and the resultant embryos are transferred back to the womb of the mother.
Who should go for IVF?
Those who have got –

• Multiple failed IUI
• Low egg / ovum count
• Bilateral blocked or damaged tubes
• Severe endometriosis
• Moderate to severe male factor infertility
• No sperm count
• Low sperm count

This is a process where each egg is fertilized by specialized equipment with a single sperm, using microinjection pipette. This is done when sperm count is very less. In such cases, sperms are retrieved directly from aspiring father’s testes or epididymis.

Following fertilization and embryo culture, the best embryos are selected for embryo transfer. For many couples, there will also be good embryos which are surplus to those required for embryo transfer. These embryos can be frozen at this point for future use. The aspiring mothers, who fail to conceive, frozen embryos can be used for a subsequent cycle.
