Egg Donation is a fertility treatment where donor eggs are used to help women who cannot conceive with their own eggs. This is especially useful for women with diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian failure, or genetic disorders. It is typically combined with IVF to achieve successful fertilization and pregnancy.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a comprehensive fertility treatment involving controlled ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization of eggs outside the body, and transfer of embryos into the uterus. IVF is recommended for a wide range of fertility issues including tubal blockages, advanced maternal age, PCOS, and unexplained infertility.

Surrogacy is a fertility treatment in which another woman, called a gestational carrier, carries and delivers a baby for the intended parents. This option is pursued when the intended mother is unable to carry a pregnancy due to medical complications. Surrogacy involves IVF and includes legal, emotional, and medical coordination.

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a simpler, less invasive fertility treatment where washed and concentrated sperm is directly inserted into a woman’s uterus during ovulation. It is often used in cases of mild male infertility, cervical mucus issues, or unexplained infertility and can be timed with or without fertility medications.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialized form of IVF used primarily for male infertility, where a single healthy sperm is directly injected into an egg to assist fertilization. It is especially effective when sperm quality, quantity, or motility is low, or when previous IVF attempts have failed.

IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection) is an advanced version of ICSI that uses high-magnification microscopy to select the most morphologically normal sperm. It enhances fertilization success and embryo quality, especially in cases of severe male factor infertility or previous failed ICSI attempts.

Male Infertility is a medical condition that can be addressed through various treatments such as ICSI, hormone therapy, lifestyle modification, or surgical correction. Depending on the cause—ranging from low sperm count and motility to structural blockages—different approaches are used to enhance the chances of conception.

Blastocyst Transfer is a key procedure within an IVF cycle where a day-5 embryo, known as a blastocyst, is transferred into the uterus. Because blastocysts are more developed, this approach allows better embryo selection and can improve implantation rates, particularly in frozen embryo transfer or recurrent IVF failure cases.

Laser Hatching  is a laboratory procedure that involves using a precision laser to thin or breach the embryo’s outer shell (zona pellucida), making it easier for the embryo to implant in the uterine lining. It is often used for older patients, those with thick zonae, or after multiple failed IVF cycles.

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) and PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) — now collectively referred to as PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) — are advanced laboratory procedures used to test embryos for genetic or chromosomal abnormalities before implantation. PGD is used to detect specific inherited diseases, while PGS (now PGT-A) screens for chromosomal normalcy. These procedures help in transferring only genetically healthy embryos, thereby increasing the chances of a healthy pregnancy and reducing miscarriage risk
