What are the latest trends in infertility management?

The most important and critical advancement is “only day 5 embryo transfer with freeze more strategy” • As at WINGS, we promote own egg pregnancy in any difficult situation through latest trends in infertility. As mentioned earlier, embryo freezing in advance maternal age (>35y) is the answer. We have to decide clinically whether we do it with or without PGT which is another current advancement option to increase the results. • Currently, egg freezing has also passed the experimental stage. Egg freezing is a good option specially in women detected with any cancer and also for young unmarried women with endometriosis and women who want to plan pregnancy at advance age. • Ovarian Tissue cryo preservation will be also possible in the near future. • Before going for surrogacy option, platelets rich plasma(PRP) and stem cell therapy are possible treatments in very thin uterine lining with multiple ivf failures. • We offer a Kid's embryo scoring software that h

What is personalized approach in IVF?

Let me try and put this entire concept in a layman terminology. The ability to grow a healthy plant requires a good seed be planted in a fertile soil. Then it requires proper nurturing till it thrives. Similarly, successful IVF requires the same relationship. A good seed is a competent, chromosomally normal embryo and fertile soil is a receptive uterine lining. Step by step approach in this concept can be as under : • It is important to define the variables that affect embryo quality and uterine receptivity for each patient • To avoid "one size fits all" protocols for controlled ovarian stimulation. Instead it is necessary to individualize the protocol to fit the profile of each individual so as to establish an optimally nurturing environment for developing follicles, eggs and uterine lining. • To precisely time the egg retrieval (ER) and then safely extract, eggs from the woman's ovary. • Provide the environment for the embryo to grow till the 5th day

When and where to start the IVF treatment?

Patients are confused about the time to start the IVF treatment. Should the age be considered as the parameter or the duration of the treatment? In Indian female, age beyond 35, IVF will be a better option.  More than 5 years of infertility period again strongly indicates IVF treatment . At any point, if AMH is less than 2.0, IVF is strongly indicated. In the era of IVF treatments, 3 IUI attempts are enough. Due to lack of regulations, patients are confused where to start the IVF treatment. There are no set parameters to indicate which is the best centre for IVF treatments. But according to me, the following criteria is important in a IVF centre: • More than 5 years of specialty infertility experience of the doctor. • Most latest technology with 0.3 micron clean air modular lab. • In-house and more than 5 years experience of embryology team. • Atleast one triple gas bench incubator. • Day 5 embryo transfer & freeze more strategy for all.

Advance maternal age and infertility - wings Hospitals

what is it and what to do? Indian women is 5 year older in terms of fertility power compared to Caucasian population. • After the age of 30, Indian women should be prompt in checking the fertility power through blood test like AMH if they deciding for late family planning. AMH is a screening test by which couples can decide whether they should wait any longer or not. • After the age of 35, it is my simple advise- not to wait more than six months if you are not able to   conceive. • Don't waste your time after age of 35 for IUI, even if financially and psychologically the couple is   not ready for IVF . IUI should be restricted to 2 or less post 35 years of age. • At WINGS, we believe in high end & precise treatment for advance maternal age(>35)  in IVF. We strictly adhere to Only Day 5 embryo transfer, Freeze all, PGS and ERA which are advanced    genetic tests by which we can offer single and healthy pregnancy.
