Services offered at Nova IVF Hospital in Vadodara

Nova IVF | Wings Women’s Hospital is foremost in incorporating innovative techniques such as freezing of eggs, sperm or embryos, genetic testing of embryos, and surgical techniques for sperm extraction such as TESA, PESA. The centre is focused on enhancing your fertility outcome, while its in-house lab is equipped with RI Witness, which is a hi-tech electronic tracking system that uses radio frequency ID technology to ensure there is no mix up of gametes.

Nova IVF Fertility is also the leader in providing self-cycle treatments in India. With 83 centres across 56 cities, Nova IVF has been offering transparent, ethical fertility treatment.

The IVF center in Vadodara provides a broad array of services that include the following:

  Self-Cycle 
In the procedure, a couple’s own sperms and egg’s are used. Here, the baby inherits the DNA from its biological parents after the couple is found fit to undergo the treatment. Couples with low sperm and egg quality can opt for it, although the success rate for self-cycle IVF is better in younger women and may go down after 35.
  Infertility Assessment 
A typical fertility evaluation involves physical exams and recording medical histories for both partners. Women undergo ovulation exams using blood tests, a check for antral follicle count through ultrasound exams of the ovaries. Men undergo a semen analysis to assess sperm quality and quantity that entails checking the sperm count, movement, and structure.
  Blood Tests 
Blood tests are instrumental in identifying potential causes of infertility, such as ovarian reserve and ovulation problems. They measure various parameters that include estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) among other tests, to pinpoint the underlying causes of fertility affecting either partner or both. At the IVF hospital in Vadodara, these test results assist fertility specialists in devising a personalized treatment strategy based on each couple's clinical condition.
  Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) 
During the IUI procedure, the sperm from the collected semen sample is washed to separate normal or viable sperm from lower-quality ones. In the next step, the viable sperm is implanted directly into a woman’s uterus to enhance fertility, usually a day or two after ovulation.
  In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) 
During IVF, the specialist fertilizes the woman's egg with the partner's sperm in a lab. The process involves stimulating the woman's ovaries to retrieve the egg/s from her ovaries to fertilize them with her partner’s sperm. After about a week, the fertilized egg or zygote is transferred into the uterus in a procedure.
  Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) 
The method involves collecting sperm from the epididymis inside the scrotum using a syringe and needle. It is a minimally invasive method used in IVF/ICSI when no sperm is present in the ejaculation due to a blockage in the male’s reproductive system.
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) 
In this procedure, the fertility specialist inserts a needle directly into the testicle to extract viable sperm for use in IVF or ICSI.
  Endometrial Receptivity Array (ERA) 
It is a genetic test performed on a sample of a woman's endometrial lining to predict the best day to transfer the embryo. The test is used during an IVF cycle to better the chances of fertilization.
  Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) 
It involves injecting a viable sperm directly into an egg. The female partner undergoes ovarian stimulation with fertility medications for mature eggs to develop. The eggs are then aspirated through the vagina in a procedure and incubated in an embryology laboratory.
  Cryopreservation of Egg, Sperm & Oocyte 
The facility at the IVF center in Vadodara is used to freeze and store fertilized eggs, sperm, or embryos of couples for future use. It is used during IVF or ICSI when creating embryos. Freezing is beneficial for single men, women, or couples facing medical conditions like cancer, to preserve their fertility for a more suitable time.
  Donor Programme (Sperm, Egg & Embryo) 
The donor program facilitates fertility with the assistance of third-party donors providing donor sperm, eggs, or embryos, which can help infertile couples achieve a successful pregnancy. The facility is used when either one partner, or both, have issues with their sperm or eggs.
  DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) 
It is a measurement tool to assess the concentration, motility, and morphology of the male partner’s sperm. It can predict sperm quality and fertility after cryopreservation during a fertility treatment.
  Beta HCG Test 
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), is a hormone that is produced in the placenta, which nourishes the egg after it has been fertilized and becomes attached to the uterine wall. The hCG Levels can first be detected by a blood or urine test about 2 weeks after a fertility procedure.
