Issues in management of Advanced maternal age related fertility treatments.

36 years and above patients are considered as advanced maternal age patients.  One egg has 4.5% capacity to generate into an embryo. So collecting more eggs is the only way forward which may require more than 1 egg retrieval.  As embryo biopsy is the prime requirement to find out healthy embryo, there is a need to freeze all the embryo at day 5.  Even the embryo is genetically tested, it will never implant in 55-65% cases in normal uterine lining. So only PGT-A shall not suffice.  Combination of PGT and ERA, which highlights the personalized implantation window period should be carried out in advanced maternal age cases. Therefore,  Advanced Maternal age= Day 5 Embryo + PGT-A + Freeze all + ERA  Infertility Treatment in Ahmedabad - Wings Hospitals

True Facts of IVF treatment in today’s era.

I m sharing my personal experience today that to make sure that certain wrong things are not implemented in IVF treatments . Polycystic ovary patient with one time ovarian hyper stimulation should not happen in today’s era. Because of the previous hyper stimulation patient should not accept egg donation.Early move towards IVF treatment is a future in PCOS patients. Limit number of IUI to not more than 3 attempts.When patient is having 0 count in semen analysis, they should not accept sperm donation straight forward without biopsy. 50 percent men can retrieve sperm. Micro Tesa and Micro Pesa is the latest advancement in technology. Transferring embryos repeatedly will not improve pregnancy rate. Repeated trials is not the way forward. Money binding scheme are non scientific and will promote more of unnecessary egg donation. Don’t accept egg donation quickly at any low AMH levels. It is challenging to give pregnancy at any low AMH but it requires experience and tech...

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.

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.

What to do IUI or IVF?

IUI is a low success treatment which usually kills precious time, fertility power of the body,money and leads to psychological distress to the couple. So couples who have time on their hands, more fertility power and psychologically not ready could be offered IUI treatment to start with in the following case: • Young age < 30 years • PCO( AMH > 2.5) • But stop IUI beyond 3 attempts because it doesn't increase the success rates. • By killing fertility power through IUI, it decreases chances of pregnancy through IVF treatment as well. • Gynaecologists can refrain from overcommitting IUI results which will eventually benefits the patients through IVF. Don't go for IUI if: • More than 35 years age • AMH less than 2 • Husband semen count is less than 10 million • Both tubes are bad with grade 3-4 endometriosis. So the question that arises is that when to and where to start IVF?

PCO: Unique fertility treatments gives hope to all couples.

India is considered as a hub for PCOD, every zone of India has 12-16% of incidence. Every 6th Infertile couple has PCOD. Therefore a question of worry and thus we need to discuss is it really tough to treat PCO with infertility? • In PCOS , IUI gives 15 -25 % of cumulative pregnancy rate after 6 cycles. But it should be noted that in PCOS, ovary is very sensitive to stimulation and IUI stimulation is never in control by any hormone. So apart from results, multiple pregnancy could not be controlled by IUI treatment , where ovarian hyperstimulation is one of the threat behind the treatment. • After some inventions of injections, hyper-stimulations can be prevented by upto 98% and freeze all embryos strategy will give 100% safety in IVF. • So it can be concluded that in this era of infertility treatment , PCO cases can be successfully treated with robust clinical strategy and experienced embryology team.

Infertility: when to meet a Fertility Doctor?

I recommend that you probably don't need to see a  fertility doctor about infertility issues unless you have been trying regularly to conceive for at least one year. However see your doctor, If you are a Woman and: • You are aged 35 to 40 and have been trying to conceive for six months or longer • You are over the age of 40 • You menstruate irregularly or not at all • Your periods are very painful • You've been diagnosed with endometriosis or pelvic inflam-matory disease • You've had multiple miscarriages • You've undergone treatment for cancer  When should a male patient see a doctor? • You have low sperm count or other problems with sperm • You have a history of testicular, prostate or sexual problems • You've undergone treatment for cancer • You have testicles that are small in size or swelling  in the scrotum known as a varicocele • You have others in your family with infertility  problems

Are repeated attempts a reality in IVF? Can it be avoided using the latest techniques?

YES! Usage of good quality injections assist in producing good quality of eggs which ever lead to better embryo formation. Also, high-end techniques like IMSI are required to set qualitative sperm especially in cases with relation to the male factor. But all of the abc techniques require the doctors and embryology team to have more than 5 years of experience Usually all Day 5 embryos will not lead to 9 months pregnancy. So we need to ensure to the best grade embryo is transferred to increase the chances. Gardener's grading system now a benchmark to find out the most competitive embryo. It is important to limit the San cycle transfer only in those couples who have more than 4 Day 5 embryos as success rate  is not more than 20-25%. The remaining embryos can be frozen. But it is of prime important' to note that the concept of vitrification/freezing requires a lot of meticulousness & perfection from the embryology team.

Will the use of Fertility drugs help us in conceiving?

For millions of women struggling to conceive, fertility drugs are the first step in treatment. What do these little pills and injections do exactly? Are they really needed ? How does fertility medication differ? Reasons differ from person to person. For instance, women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) generally respond well to clomiphene, but those who don't may be given the insulin-sensitizing drug metformin to help them ovulate. Some women with PCOS respond well to a combination of metformin and clomiphene. Women with hyperprolactinemia have too much of the hormone prolactin in their blood, which interferes with ovulation. Women with this condition who want to conceive will most likely take bromocriptine or cabergoline to restore ovulation. What are the risks of fertility drugs? Many of these drugs have been used safely and successfully for more than 40 years. But like other fertility treatments, these drugs can increase the chance of conceiving multiples...
