What is the difference between IVF and ICSI?
In IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), the fertility specialist removes eggs from the ovary and fertilizes them with the partner’s sperm, in the laboratory. The eggs and sperm unite and the resultant embryos (fertilized eggs) are then transferred to the uterus.
ICSI-Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection is a technique by which a single sperm is injected into the egg to aid the fertilisation process to make the embryo (fertilised egg).
There are 2 ways to fertilise the eggs in the laboratory. The conventional insemination-IVF in which the eggs and sperm are mixed in a petri dish and the sperm spontaneously enter the egg to bring about fertilisation. However, in certain situations such as low sperm count when normal fertilisation may not occur, ICSI is done to facilitate fertilisation.

Preimplantation Genetic Screening for improved success in pregnancy Preimplantation genetic screening or PGS (also often known as aneuploidy screening) is a procedure in which the embryos created through Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) are examined for chromosomal abnormalities. Pregnancies where embryos show chromosomal abnormalities often end in miscarriages or could result in conditions such as Down Syndrome. https://mothertobe.in/tr…/preimplantation-genetic-screening/

Laser Assisted Hatching Procedure for pregnancy after 40  Laser Assisted Hatching: The outer shell of the egg is called Zona Pellucida. Hatching is the process in which the embryo herniates out of the outer shell of the egg. Failure of the embryo to hatch may be one of the factors associated with implantation failure.  https://mothertobe.in/treatments/laser-assisted-hatching/

Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention of a Miscarriage

What is a miscarriage? We use the term “Miscarriage” when a pregnancy ends on its own, within the first twenty weeks of gestation. Most women experience discomfort during miscarriages. This can affect their mental and emotional well-being. Understanding the nature of miscarriages, the symptoms and prevention and possible treatment, can help women to assess this situation more medically and objectively. According to the studies conducted at American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Chemical pregnancies may account for 50-75% of those miscarriages, which occur shortly after implantation. This may result in bleeding, around the time of her expected period. In a chemical pregnancy, the woman may not even realize that she conceived. Fortunately, medical science has multiple options to help a woman have her own genetic baby even with a history of multiple miscarriages. In many cases, the reas
