 What is Intrauterine Insemination: IUI
This is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm inside a
woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization. The goal of IUI is to
increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and
subsequently increase the chance of fertilization.
IUI provides the sperm an advantage by giving it a head start,
but still requires a sperm to reach and fertilize the egg on its
own. It is a less invasive and less expensive option compared to
in vitro fertilization.

 What is intracytoplasmic sperm
injection :ICSI
ICSI is very similar to conventional IVF in that gametes (eggs an
d sperm) are collected from each partner. The difference
between the two procedures is the method of achieving
fertilization.

In conventional IVF, the eggs and sperm are mixed together in a

dish and the sperm fertilizes the egg ‘naturally’. However to have
a chance that this will occur, large numbers of actively swimming
normal sperm are required. For many couples, the number of
suitable sperm available may be very limited or there may be
other factors preventing fertilization, so conventional IVF is not
an option. ICSI has provided a hope for these couples.
 What is In Vitro Fertilization : IVF

In Vitro Fertilization is an assisted reproductive technology (ART)

commonly referred to as IVF. IVF is the process of fertilization by
extracting eggs, retrieving a sperm sample, and then manually
combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. The embryo
(s) is then transferred to the uterus. Other forms of ART
include gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT)and zygote intrafallo
pian transfer (ZIFT).
What is Testicular Sperm Aspiration : TESA

Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is a minor procedure that

typically takes 5-10 minutes under sedation. TESA is generally an
option for men with Obstructive Azoospermia where it is
expected that sperm will be found easily. During the procedure,
sperm is directly removed from the testes to be used in an IVF-I
CSI cycle.
What is microsurgical epididymal sperm
aspiration : MESA
Microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration. An open surgical
sperm retrieval procedure that uses an operating microscopy to
locate the tubules of the epididymis precisely, so that large
numbers of sperm can be extracted.
What is Testicular sperm extraction : TESE
Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) is the process of removing a
small portion of tissue from the testicle under local anesthesia a
nd extracting the few viable sperm cells present in that tissue fo
r intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).[1] The testicular sperm
extraction process is recommended to men who cannot produce
sperm by ejaculation due to azoospermia, such as that caused
by primary testicular failure, congenital absence of the vas
deferens or non-reconstructed vasectomy.
 What is Embryo freezing

Embryo freezing (cryopreservation) is a method of preserving

the viability of embryos be carefully cooling them to very low te
mperatures (-196oC). This is carried out in the laboratory using
specialised freezing equipment and the embryos can then be
safely stored in liquid nitrogen for extended periods.
What is Blastocyst Culture and Transfer

Blastocyst culture and transfer is a technique developed for in

vitro fertilization (IVF). This procedure intends to maximize
pregnancy rates while minimizing the risk of multiple
pregnancies.
Embryos are typically cultured for 3 days (cleavage stage with 4-
10 cells) before being transferred into the uterus. By extending
the culture to 5 or 6 days (blastocyst culture), some embryos
will develop to the blastocyst stage (up to hundreds of cells).
This allows the embryologist to select more advanced embryos
with better potential for implantation at the time of the transfer.
 What is Donner egg IVF

Donner egg IVF is a fertility treatment in which the egg from the
donor is mixed with the sperm donation from the biological
father in the laboratory. If embryos are produced they are
transferred to the recipient’s uterus. If this results in a
pregnancy , the baby thus born will have genetic linkage to the
donor of eggs.
What is Pregenetic Diagnosis and Screening

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis. ... The term preimplantatio

n genetic screening (PGS) refers to the set of techniques for
testing whether embryos (obtained through IVF/ICSI) have
abnormal chromosomes' number. In other words, it tests if
embryo is aneuploid or not. PGS is also called aneuploidy
screening.
