Blood Tests

Your doctor at the IVF center in R.A. Puram will check your FSH levels by extracting blood on the second or third day of the cycle. Other tests you may have to provide can include luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, oestrogen, and testosterone.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

It is a form of artificial insemination, where your doctor places treated sperm directly into your uterus during ovulation. This enables healthy sperm to reach the egg faster and improve chances of fertilisation.

In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

IVF is a form of assisted reproductive technology wherein mature eggs are retrieved from ovaries and fertilised by treated sperm in a lab. The technicians later transfer the embryo/s in to the uterus.

Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA)

It is a procedure carried out to retrieve sperm for IVF/ICSI. PESA is usually performed for men with obstructive azoospermia from an infection or a vasectomy.

Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA)

It is a diagnostic test that determines a woman’s unique embryo transfer timing window. This helps synchronise the embryo transfer during this period.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

It is a form of assisted reproductive treatment (ART), in which a viable sperm is directly injected into the egg. Prior to the procedure, the woman takes medications to stimulate her egg production.

Cryopreservation

Also known as embryo freezing, cryopreservation is a process that freezes embryos, sperm, or eggs. The facility helps couples preserve fertility for pregnancy in the future.

Beta HCG

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by trophoblast tissue, which is typically found in early embryos. The test measures hCG levels and helps in detecting pregnancy.

Magnetic Activated Sperm Sorting (MACS)

It is a technique that enables the best spermatozoa to be selected for IVF or ICSI.
