Endocrine Assessment what is it?

Endocrine Assessment what is it?

How does it affect fertility?

Hormones tests carried out as part of the first examination of woman seeking reproduction treatment are known as endocrine evaluation also known as an endocrine profile, is a blood test to measure the levels of many hormones in the blood , including oestradial , progesterone , prolactin , testosterone , thyroid function & anti-mullerian hormone(AMH).

How do hormone imbalances affect fertility & what causes them?

Hormones levels can be impacted by unhealthy lifestyles:
These problems may lead to irregular menstruation which may affect egg maturation, ovulation and pregnancy implantation. More crucially, any direct or indirect health issue affecting the reproduction system, particularly the ovaries & tests, can cause hormonal imbalances, which can suggest a person’s incapacity to release eggs or generate healthy sperm.

What part do different hormones play in the process of reproduction:-

Takeaway:- Endocrine assessment is a crucial process that helps doctor to
identify hormonal imbalances that can lead to various health conditions.

Conclusion:

Overall, endocrine assessment plays a critical role in maintaining overall health & well being.

DNA Fragmentation Test of Sperm: How Far it’s Helpful!

DNA Fragmentation Test of Sperm: How Far it’s Helpful!

In this blog, we will take a close look at the DNA fragmentation test of sperm and how helpful it is in determining male fertility.

(Sperm DNA fragmentation test refers to the assessment of the level of damage to the genetic material in man’s sperm.)

  • The test is performed to identify the presence of DNA damage in the sperm which can contribute to male fertility problems.
  • The DNA fragmentation test can be done to assess the potential occurrence of male fertility and infertility. The fertilizing capacity of sperm to be able to help couples to understand the problems related to it.

Can male fertility be improved if DNA fragmentation is detected?

Conclusion:

It is important to note that high levels of DNA fragmentation have been linked to reduced sperm count & motility as well as a decreased in successful pregnancies. Consult with a healthcare professional specializing in male fertility to determine the best course of action if DNA fragmentation is high during DFI testing.

Importance of Genetic testing (PGT) of embryos for abnormalities

Importance of Genetic testing (PGT) of embryos for abnormalities

Our breakthrough is preimplantation genetic screening (PGT-A) of embryos for abnormalities.

#PGT offers voluble insights into the genetic composition of embryos

Helping couples make informed decisions & significantly improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.

#Here we will explore the importance of genetic testing (PGT) of embryos for abnormalities & its numerous benefits

(PGT) (PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC SCREENING ) / TESTING​

It allows the selection of embryos with the highest likelihood of developing into the healthy pregnancies by screening for chromosomal abnormalities.

Detecting Genetic Abnormalities:-

It enables the identification of chromosomal abnormalities such as aneuploidy or structural rearrangements.This information helps determine the viability and health of embryos before they are transferred into the uterus.

Reducing the Risk of Genetic Disorder:-

Improving Success Rates of Assisted Reproductive :- By selecting embryos with the correct number of structure of chromosomes, PGT enhances the success rates of assisted reproductive technologies. (ART) such as an IVF.

Ethical Considerations Includes:

Handling of excess embryos

Psychological impact of screening for certain conditions

Embryo Biopsy Genetic Testing Methods Result Analysis
Few cells are carefully extracted from each embryo for genetic testing. Includes (NGS) Next generation sequencing or (PCR).
Occurs on 3rd day after fertilization or during blastocyst stage.    

Day 3 Embryo Biopsy

Day 5 Embryo Biopsy

PGT Limitations

Its important to acknowledge its limitations:
  1. PGT does not guarantee the birth of a healthy baby, as it cannot detect all genetic abnormalities or address mom – genetic factors that may affect pregnancy.

    So, there is still 1% risk of abnormalities in baby.

  2. False +VE or False –VE results can occur, leading to incorrect interpretations of embryo viability.
Conclusion:
By leveraging the power of genetic testing, couples can increase their chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy and welcoming a child into the world.

Fallopian Tubes  &  Fertility 

Fallopian Tubes  &  Fertility 

Your fallopian tubes play a vital role in the fertilization process necessary to become pregnant. The fallopian tubes are where the egg & sperm meet & the egg is fertilized.

The egg then travels through the fallopian fertilized. The egg then travels through the fallopian fertilized. The egg then travels through the fallopian tube , into the uterus to implant & grow into a baby.

So, lets address some questions are in one go:-

Can I get pregnant with only one working fallopian tube
A blockage can be in one or both fallopian tubes when , when a blockage exists , sperm cannot reach a viable egg waiting in the fallopian tube to become fertilized.

There are few options if you want to get pregnant after libel ligation.

Fertility with no fallopian tubes :-

There have been cases where women with no fallopian tubes are looking to become pregnant.
A women may have had her fallopian tubes removed for various reasons including:-

How to Prepare Yourself for Blastocyst Transfer

How to Prepare Yourself for Blastocyst Transfer

With the aid of ART, such as IVF , infertile intended parents can have children. We have came up with the best and easiest solution for you . I ensure after reading this blog all queries related to blastocyst transfer would be solved.

What does blastocyst transfer signify?

Blastocyst transfer will be briefly defined before the direct question is addressed. Embryos can be successfully cultured upto the blastocyst stage thanks to recent improvements in the IVF lab procedures and culture material. Compared to the embryos at an earlier stage,blastocyst might have higher chance of implanting into the uterine wall.

Blastocyst embryo transfer recommended for?

Blastocyst culture is being given as an alternative option to couples. Who have trial IVF or IVF-ICSI unsuccessfully despite having several high quality eggs recovered?

Couples that are strong candidates for blastocyst culture include those who have several healthy embryos on day 3.

How does transferring blastocyst benefits you?

  • A developing embryo generally exists the fallopian tube and enters the uterus at the blastocyst stage (5 days after fertilization).
  • The blastocyst begins to implant itself to the uterus lining once it has reached the uterus a practice called as implantation.
  • The benefit of trying to develop embryos to the blastocyst is that since this stage of development is more compatible with uterine environment. It should increase the likelihood that the embryos will implant; fewer embryos will need to be replaced as a result lowering the possibility of having multiple pregnancies.
Risks involved in blastocyst transfer:-
Drawbacks are that very few embryos (probably between 30% & 50% of them) will survive or develop to this stage. A 10% chance exists that no embryos will develop to the blastocyst transfer stage leaving no embryos eligible for transfer.There are also a lot fewer “spare” embryos available for freezing.

Bleeding & Spotting During ovulation: – When to be concerned

Bleeding & Spotting During ovulation: – When to be concerned

Ovulation occurs when the ovary releases an egg and some women experience bleeding & spotting around the time they are ovulating, which is normal occurrence. In fact, it’s fairly common for women to spot or bleed some point in their menstrual cycles. But when should you be concerned about the bleeding during ovulation?

( This blog post will explore the signs that indicate when ovulation spotting or bleeding is normal and when it is a sign of concern. it will also discuss the next steps that you can take if you are concerned about bleeding & spotting during ovulation.)

What is ovulation spotting?

Light vaginal bleeding that can occurs during before or after ovulation. (Not every woman has spotting during ovulation).

Ovulation bleeding occurs when there is a change in hormone levels. For example: estrogen levels decreases before woman starts ovulating and as a results, this causes endometrial to shed.

You may also experience other symptoms of ovulation such as :-

When does ovulation bleeding occur?

When you are ovulating, an ovary releases an egg and this occurs in the middle of your menstrual cycle between 11-12 days after the first day of your last period. Women do not always ovulate on the same days, as it depends on the length of their cycle.

When is spotting during ovulation considered normal?

Some signs that can help you determine whether your bleeding during ovulation is normal or a cause for concern.

  • First of all, it’s essential to keep in mind that ovulation bleeding occurs only once during each cycle.
  • Before you start ovulating, you experience an increase in estrogen levels, which then drop after ovulation. As a results progesterone levels rise for 5 days.
  • The fluctuation in E2 & P4 is what causes ovulation spotting.

When bleeding during ovulation is a sign of concern?

Heavy, severe and prolonged bleeding, we recommend seeing a doctor to provide you with diagnosis.

SOME HEALTH CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE BLEEDING BETWEEN PERIODS:

Spotting between periods can also be a sign of infection. If you have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as gonorrhea and Chlamydia, you have a high chance of having light bleeding.

Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)

Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)

recurrent implantations

 

 

 

Recurrent implantation failure refers to the inability of embryos to implant into uterine lining after repeated attempts at ART like IVF. Despite transferring healthy embryos, they fail to attach to the uterus and initiate a pregnancy.

Who can get recurrent implantation failure?

  • RIF can affect individuals or couples undergoing ART , partially IVF , it can occur in cases where the underlying cause remains unidentified.

Types of RIF:-

Early RIF : In this , embryo fail to implant shortly after being transferred into the uterus.

Late RIF:– In this type , when the embryos implant initially but result in early miscarriage or failed development soon after implantation.

Causes of RIF:-

  • Embryo related factors: Chromosomal Abnormalities (poor embryo quality).
  • Urine Factors: urine abnormalities or structural tissues – endometrial receptivity tissues , chronic endometriosis or infections.
  • Hormonal factors: Hormonal imbalances affecting the menstrual cycle-thyroid disorders or diabetes.
  • Lifestyle and environmental factors: Smoking or substance abuse –poor diet and nutrition – stress and excessive physical activity.

What are the symptoms of RIF?

Early symptoms & cause of PCOS

Early symptoms & cause of PCOS

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a very common hormonal condition in females which causes hormonal imbalance. The females suffering from this produce excess of male’s hormones which results in delayed periods.

To be exact, in PCOS your ovaries produced usually high levels of hormones known as androgens which causes your reproduction hormones to become imbalanced leading to erratic menstrual cycle, missed periods & unpredictable ovulation.

  • You don’t have to spend your precious time searching for details of this problem as today we will be sharing the causes & symptoms of PCOS as per our fertility specialist & guide you through this.

What are the symptoms of PCOS

Any how here are few prominent symptoms of PCOS

As PCOS presents with a diverse array of symptoms, which can manifest differently each individual. The most typical signs are :

Irregular menstrual cycle :- ovulation might be uneven or irregular , or it may not occur at all, which can cause irregular menstrual periods or even a totally absence of a monthly cycle.

Elevated Androgens: – it can cause actual side effects, including acne excessive face & body hair growth and male – pattern baldness.

Weight : Those dealing with PCOS often encounter challenges in managing their weight, heightening the likelihood of obesity.

It is crucial to remember that not everyone with PCOS will necessarily have all the symptoms, and symptom intensity can vary greatly.
