  The difference between IUI and IVF is: In IUI, fertilization takes place internally – inside the woman’s womb. That is, the sperm is injected into the woman’s uterus. After that, if fertilization is successful, the embryo implants in the uterus. Here, the treatment procedure is aimed at increasing the chances of fertilization of the egg by the sperms, by enabling the sperms reach a ovulated egg. The process of fertilization is still left to the sperm . The intervention by the treatment process is minimal. In IVF , fertilization takes place externally, or outside the uterus - in a lab. The sperm and the egg fuse for fertilization in the lab. After this process, if fertilization is successful, one or more fertilized egg is grown in the lab for a few days and is then transferred in to the uterus. Here, the embryo may get implanted in the lining of a woman’s uterus resulting in pregnancy and deliver a full-term baby or babies. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process has higher ...

IVF or In Vitro Fertilization is one of the more widely known types of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART). IVF works by using a combination of medicines and surgical procedures, to help the sperm fertilize an egg. Here the eggs are fertilized outside the human body and implanted in the uterus. These procedures can be used to help couples struggling with infertility and also in the prevention of genetic problems. A pregnancy starts with fertilization – when a woman’s egg joins with a man’s sperm. Fertilization usually takes place in the fallopian tube within the woman, which is a tube-like organ that joins an ovary to the uterus. If the fertilized egg ( which is now called an embryo)successfully travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterus, an embryo starts growing on the endometrial wall, in the uterus When this normal process of fertilization does not take place in couples who are planning to have a baby, advanced techniques of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)a...

  Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women during their reproductive age. Women with PCOS may have irregular or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. The ovaries may develop numerous small follicles, which leads to failure in the regular release of eggs. This condition causes difficulty in conceiving. The hormonal imbalance is the main reason for PCOS and could lead to infertility. As the ovaries are not receiving a sufficient quantity of hormones, they are unable to develop the eggs to maturity, and so ovulation does not take place. The way eggs develop and release is affected by the excess amounts of androgens (male hormones) released by the body. Women with PCOS related infertility are treated with fertility medication, which stimulates ovulation, although this can increase the risk of multiple births if not managed properly. The other option is to undergo in-vitro fertilization (IVF), where the maturation of eg...

Low sperm count (scientific name for this is oligozoospermia) is where the ejaculate of the male has less than 15 million sperm per ml. of semen. If a person has low sperm count, it means that it is more difficult for him to fertilize the egg of a woman and help her conceive naturally. It does not mean that the male cannot impregnate a woman. It just means that the chances are reduced. The lower the count, lesser the chance of pregnancy. What are the causes of low sperm count? An ordinary man can produce sperm multiple times per day.
