After initial consultation and counseling an infertile couple undergoes diagnostic tests to evaluate for the cause of infertility.Studies have shown that cause of infertility can be 40% due to female factors, 30 % due to male factors and 20-30 % due to combine factors or unexplained causes. Male factors can be decreased quantities of sperms, decreased motility of sperms, obstruction of sperm delivery due to blockage or erectile dysfunction.
Female factors can be hindrances in the ovulation process due to PCOD or low quality eggs, Blockage of the tubes or abnormalities in the uterine cavity, advancing maternal age. Our best infertility experts will diagnose the root cause of infertility in a couple and treat accordingly to get maximum success rate at a very low cost.

1) Ovulation Induction with medicines/ injections.
Couples who are trying to conceive since 3 to 6 months and not succeeding in getting pregnant then after complete evaluation of infertile couples Ovulation induction is started by medicine like letrozole or injection like HMG.This is the first step of step by step approch in best infertility clinic.
2) IUI( Intra- uterine insemination )
During natural conception, sperm has to travel from the vagina through the cervix, into the uterus, and up to the fallopian tubes. With IUI, sperm are “washed” and concentrated, and also placed directly into the uterus, which puts them closer to the egg. We have a world class centrifuge machine and an experienced embryologist who prepares semen sample and this has an impact on our high success rate in IUI.
3) ART( Assisted Reproductive techniques)
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is used to treat infertility. It includes fertility treatments that handle both eggs and sperm. It works by removing eggs from the ovaries. The eggs are then mixed with sperm to make embryos. The embryos are then put back in the mother’s womb.
a) IVF
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a complex series of procedures used to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child.IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology. The procedure can be done using a couple’s own eggs and sperm. Or IVF may involve eggs, sperm or embryos from a known or anonymous donor.
b) ICSI
In ICSI, a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg. ICSI is often used when semen quality or number is a problem or if fertilization attempts during prior IVF cycles failed.
4) Freezing
It is the method by which couple can preserve their reproductive future. Freezing of egg is done if reproductive capacity will be compromised by various procedure in future like Anticancer drugs. Embryo freezing is now a standard treatment protocol to get better result and to prevent complication related to fresh embryo transfer.
Freezing can be done for:-
a) Egg
b) Sperm
c) Embryo
5) Donor
In Infertile couples one of the partner or both the partner are incapable of having pregnancy by their own gametes , then for such couples there is hope of parenthood with donor egg/sperms.
a) Egg
b) Sperm
c) Embryo

- Ovulation Induction with Injection- The women will have to take injections from day 2 of periods for 10-12 days. These injections will help in optimum growth of eggs.
- Egg retrieval- Once the eggs are matured, egg retrieval is done under short General anaesthesia via transvaginal sonography. The procedure is painless and takes around 15-20 minutes. The patient can go home after 2 hours.
- Husband Semen Sample and freezing- we take the semen of the husband on the same day of egg retrieval so as to fertilize the embryos. We also freeze the husband’s sample and keep it as a backup sample.
- Embryo formation- Embryos are formed inside the IvF lab on the day of egg retrieval and kept in culture media for further growth.
- Embryo Transfer- it is done either in the same cycle as egg retrieval known as Fresh Embryo transfer or the embryos can be freezed and then transferred after a gap of one month in the next cycle known as Frozen Embryo Transfer.
- Result- After 14 days of Embryo transfer , a blood test known as Beta Hcg is done which will help us to confirm pregnancy. Thi is the process of IVF in a nutshell and we at Shukan will do our best to give birth to your dream of becoming a parent.
6) PGD/PGS/Non Invasive PGS
Some recent research shows that embryo made by ICSI or IVF show chromosomal abnormality in 30-40 % cases.If these aneuploid embryo are implanted in uterine cavity then they will lead to IVF failure or Missed abortion.Now a days these aneuploid embryo can be
identified by advanced genetic testing like Pre Implantation genetic diagnosis or Non Invasive Pre Implantation genetic Screening before transfer in to Uterus.In our Shukan IVF Centre & Women’s Hospital,We have a high live birth rate due to combination of these genetic techniques and IVF.In our IVF Centre we have code of conduct to do advance genetic testing of embryo made by our best embryologist and then transfer only euploid embryo that will give you healthy pregnancy and leads to high success rate in our centre.
