Overview

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

Achieving parenthood is the greatest blessing and one of the most joyous experiences of life. Around 15% of couples find it difficult to get pregnant naturally. At Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital, Powai, we provide you with IVF treatment in Mumbai at our Centre for Human Reproduction. As a leading IVF hospital in Mumbai, we guide you through this bumpy journey with minimal interventions and make the process smooth and hassle-free.

 

Why Is IVF Treatment Required?

According to studies, people visiting an IVF center in Mumbai are suffering from certain lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, obesity, strokes, and others. Unhealthy habits such as smoking, stress, and junk food can also increase infertility issues. Quick urbanization, hormonal changes, work pressure, vehicular pollution, and postponing parenthood are some lesser-known reasons for infertility in India. To handle such cases, we follow an individualized approach, understanding the root cause of infertility and treating it appropriately with tailor-made investigations and procedures.

 

IVF Clinic in Mumbai

In our fertility clinic, we offer all types of investigation and treatment under one roof. Our hospital has an affordable IVF clinic in Mumbai with advanced equipment and highly skilled doctors. Besides the treatment, a balanced lifestyle and stress management also play an important part. At our IVF clinic, we also stress lifestyle and stress management before any further advanced treatments.

In some cases, medical treatments are performed to improve egg and sperm quality. Removing polyps, fibroids, and benign tumors is also helpful for quick pregnancy without further intervention.

For further procedures, our fertility center provides various treatments, from IUI to IVF/ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), and advanced treatments such as PICSI, laser-assisted hatching, blastocyst transfer, PRP, and GCSF treatment, as well as treatment for thin lining, the donor egg program, and surrogacy, all under one roof.

 

Common Causes of Infertility and IVF’s Role

Understanding the root cause of infertility is vital for effective treatment. Some common causes treated at our IVF center in Mumbai include:

  • Ovulation Disorders: Hormonal imbalances or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt ovulation.
  • Tubal Blockages: Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes prevent sperm from meeting the egg.
  • Male Factor Infertility: Low sperm count or motility issues impact fertilization chances.
  • Age-Related Infertility: Declining egg quality with age can make conception more difficult.

With our IVF hospital in Powai, couples have access to advanced treatments to overcome these challenges, opening the doors to parenthood.

Procedures Done in the Hospital

IUI

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a process in which washed sperm are placed directly into the uterus with the help of a thin catheter. IUI is an OPD (outpatient department) procedure in which neither anesthesia nor hospitalization is required. Ovulation is confirmed by ultrasound, and once it is confirmed, the partner is asked to collect the semen in a sterile container. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to process the semen sample. A thin tube called an IUI catheter is introduced into the uterus, and the processed semen sample is slowly released into the uterus. Luteal phase support is given, and pregnancy is confirmed fifteen days later by a simple blood test. This procedure is performed at our fertility clinic.

 

IVF / ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

IVF stands for in vitro fertilization. It refers to the process in which a woman’s eggs are collected and later fertilized outside her womb in the laboratory. We are presently a leading IVF center in Mumbai for services such as infertility treatment, sperm donation, and others. ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) has proved to be very useful in couples who have failed to achieve fertilization or had very poor fertilization following standard IVF treatment, and in couples where the male partner has abnormal sperm parameters (e.g., low count, poor motility, high percentage of abnormal sperm).

In our fertility clinic, IVF / ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) procedures do not require overnight hospitalization.

 

Donor Egg Program

The infertility doctors at our IVF clinic in Mumbai have started the Donor Egg Program. In this program, another woman is the egg donor. The donor is chosen after a strict medical evaluation and relevant investigations. After getting normal results, the donor undergoes IVF stimulation under our infertility experts in Mumbai, followed by ovum pick-up. The donor’s eggs are fertilized with the recipient’s husband’s sperm. The resultant embryos are then transferred into the adequately prepared uterus of the recipient.

 

Surrogacy

Surrogacy is indicated in women whose uterus is malformed or damaged, or who are incapable of carrying a pregnancy due to repeated miscarriages; in women suffering from medical problems for whom a pregnancy would be life-threatening; and in women who have had a surgical removal of the uterus due to cancer or a ruptured womb, or who are born without a uterus.
The term surrogacy is used when a woman carries a pregnancy and gives birth to a baby for another woman. The surrogate carries the pregnancy and is genetically not related to the child. Our IVF clinic helps the patient through this entire journey in consultation with our expert IVF doctors.

 

Fertility-Enhancing Surgery

Fertility-enhancing surgeries like laparoscopy & hysteroscopy, when indicated, improve the pregnancy rate, sometimes without further intervention.

At our IVF center in Mumbai, we perform the following latest techniques to improve the pregnancy rate.

 

Blastocyst Transfer

A blastocyst is the final stage of the embryo’s development before it hatches out of the shell (zona pellucida) and implants in the uterine wall. Our fertility clinic in Powai transfers the embryo on day 5, at the blastocyst stage, which yields a higher pregnancy rate.

 

Laser Assisted Hatching

Assisted hatching is performed in the laboratory just prior to embryo transfer, under the supervision of our infertility doctors. It is a simple and precautionary procedure in which a small hole is made in the outside shell (the zona) of each embryo to be transferred.

 

Subendometrial Blood Flow

Low implantation rates in stimulated IVF cycles may be related to suboptimal endometrial perfusion. This can be easily diagnosed by a non-invasive test like sonography with Doppler ultrasound, performed at our fertility clinic in Powai.
This poor blood flow can then be improved by altering medications, and the pregnancy rate can be improved. This is done under the direct supervision of expert infertility doctors.

 

PICSI (Physiological ICSI)

The PICSI sperm selection device is now available for the selection of mature sperm for ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). The selected sperm have minimal DNA fragmentation, normal shape, and low frequency of chromosomal aneuploidies, improving the pregnancy rate and also reducing the rate of abortions. All this is identified with great skill in our fertility clinic, under the supervision of our team of fertility doctors.

 

Growth Hormone

Growth hormone therapy is one of the adjuvant treatments used in ovarian stimulation and ART. Growth hormone supplements have been shown to improve pregnancy rates in poor responders. This is done under the supervision of our experienced IVF doctors at our fertility clinic.

 

GCSF (Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor)

G-CSF is a cytokine/growth factor crucial for implantation, and it is also a remedy for implantation failure, recurrent abortions, and thin endometrium that fails to respond to standard therapy. This process is well practiced at our IVF clinic.

 

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

The endometrium is one of the main factors in implantation and pregnancy. The pregnancy rate increases with growing endometrial thickness.
Intrauterine infusion of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a new approach that has been suggested for the treatment of thin endometrium.

 

Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS)

Testing whether embryos (obtained through IVF/ICSI) have an abnormal number of chromosomes is also offered as a service in our fertility centre.

 

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

It is the testing of pre-implantation stage embryos or oocytes for genetic defects. It has been developed for couples whose potential offspring are at risk of severe Mendelian disorders, structural chromosome abnormalities, or mitochondrial disorders. This is a service offered by our hospital.

 

Achievement of Our IVF Treatment in Mumbai

A 42-year-old patient with thin endometrium (less than 7 mm) and poor ovarian reserve, who had already had one failed IVF cycle, came to us for further treatment.


The treatment given was:
Medicines to improve egg quality were given for 12 weeks before the IVF procedure.
IVF was done and embryos were frozen.
Hysteroscopic metroplasty was done to correct the endometrial cavity. In the next cycle, estradiol valerate tablets were started for embryo transfer. In spite of successive increases in the dose of estradiol valerate, her lining did not grow beyond 7.5 mm, so Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) was inserted into the uterine cavity.
The embryo transfer was done 3 days after the PRP, and the patient had a healthy pregnancy and delivery.

Counseling and Lifestyle Management

Today’s lifestyle incorporates a lot of stress, irregular working hours, irregular sleep patterns, poor eating habits, increasing age at marriage, career aspirations, postponed childbearing, nuclear families, smoking, alcohol, etc., all of which have taken a toll on fertility.

Therapy for many of the causes of infertility includes lifestyle management, comprising diet, and requires slightly different thinking, in-depth knowledge of the different causes of infertility, and the use of various modalities, the foremost being lifestyle modification. The treatment for your infertility may be just lifestyle modification. Why subject a patient to IVF / ICSI when lifestyle modification and ovulation induction alone may do the trick?

IUI

What is IUI?

  • Minimally invasive fertility-enhancing procedure
  • OPD procedure
  • Not painful
  • No fasting required
  • No bed rest after IUI
  • You can go to work in the second half of the day after the procedure
  • Improves pregnancy outcome significantly

Indications of IUI

  • Low sperm count and motility (male factor infertility)
  • Unexplained infertility – along with ovulation induction
  • Endometriosis
  • PCOS
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Absence of the male partner at the time of ovulation (using frozen sperm)

 

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) / ICSI

What is IVF / ICSI?

  • One of the cost-effective procedures
  • Not as complicated as it seems
  • 8-10 visits to the clinic required
  • Injections are subcutaneous (like insulin injections) and can be taken on your own
  • Injections are not painful
  • No need to take leave for the entire period of the procedure
  • No bed rest required post transfer. You can resume work 3-4 days post transfer
  • No oil-based injections post transfer (most patients are scared of this, and hence some postpone IVF)
  • Day-care procedure (both oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer) – you can go home by afternoon. No overnight hospitalization
  • Oocyte retrieval requires short intravenous anesthesia
  • No cuts/incisions on the abdomen
  • Embryo transfer is as simple as IUI (no fasting / anesthesia required)

 

Donor Egg Programme

  • The Donor Egg programme is one of the programmes with a high success rate.
  • Proper pre-IVF evaluation and coordination with the donor, followed by fresh embryo transfer, give excellent results.

 

Surrogacy

Why Surrogacy at Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital?

At Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital, we have:

  • High volume of patients – We deliver a large number of surrogate pregnancies for a single hospital in Mumbai.
  • Facilitation of the birth certificate – The process of obtaining the birth certificate is systematically arranged so that the application and processing are done in the shortest possible time.
  • NABH-accredited & ISO-certified hospital – All rules and protocols are in place and are strictly followed according to standard operating procedures. This gives standardization to all the procedures we do and helps in maintaining strict quality control.

 

Facilities Available for Surrogacy

All facilities are available under one roof – investigations, ICSI cycle, etc. – and all the procedures for the surrogate’s antenatal check-ups, as well as delivery, neonatal care, and post-delivery pediatric care and advice, are conducted in the hospital.

  • The NICU is well equipped to handle very small, preterm babies and all the complications associated with prematurity.
  • A fully equipped, hi-tech OT setup, comparable to international standards, is available day and night to handle emergencies.
  • 24-hour radiology department / USG facilities
  • 24-hour NABH-accredited blood bank and casualty services
  • 24-hour NABL-accredited pathology laboratory
  • Webcam facility – We are available to talk to you at a predetermined date and time so that we can have a direct discussion, as if you were doing a consultation with us. You can clarify all your doubts personally rather than by mail.
  • High success rate with practically nil preterm deliveries – This is because of the meticulous care taken in choosing the surrogate as well as during pregnancy. She is treated as a high-risk pregnancy, with two obstetricians taking care of her.
  • Novel methods like cervical length monitoring by transvaginal sonography and antibiotic and probiotic treatment during pregnancy to prevent preterm labor. These new methods of monitoring have practically eradicated preterm delivery, the most dreaded complication of pregnancy. We have presented papers on these novel methods at various conferences, and they have received due recognition.
  • Optimization of pregnancy outcome – At our centre, we believe that the success rate of IVF/ICSI depends on pre-IVF evaluation. For example, if there is poor ovarian reserve, we give certain medications before IVF to improve the ovarian reserve and then attempt IVF. This gives a high success rate. Similarly, all male and female factors are evaluated before going for the actual cycle.
    Thus, high IVF success rates combined with high surrogacy success rates give us excellent results.
  • Extended embryo culture / blastocyst transfer – The quality of any laboratory is assessed by the number of blastocyst transfers. Our IVF laboratory is fully equipped with modern, state-of-the-art technology and expertise, which gives us a high fertilization rate, and we do blastocyst transfer in at least 70% of patients.
  • Blood flow monitoring – This is a novel concept in the science of infertility. It is like seed and soil. When you sow a seed in the soil and give it water, that water has to percolate through the soil and reach the seed; otherwise, the seed will not develop into a plant. Similarly, if the blood flow does not reach the inner lining of the uterus, the embryo will not get nutrition and will not implant, or, if it implants, it may lead to a missed abortion. Endometrial perfusion presents an accurate, noninvasive assay of uterine receptivity that may be used to predict implantation success rate. We select only those surrogates who have good blood flow, thus increasing the success rates.
