Art Overview
Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART):
ART is any technological procedure that helps infertile couples to conceive. Depending upon the cause of infertility, our doctors will recommend and perform suitable ART programs.
THE ART CYCLE
The actual ART cycle consists of the folllowing procedures:
- Controlled Ovarian Stimulation
- Monitoring
- Oocyte Retrieval
- Laboratory Procedure
- Embryo Transfer
- Cryopreservation
Fertlization methods will differ according to the causes of infertility. Before the actual cycle begins, we, at BabiesAndUs perform the following tests and investigations so that any complications likely to occur can be treated before the cycle.
The Initial Consultation:
The couple undergoing an ART cycle of IVF/ICSI will first go through initial consultation at the unit- either Lilavati Hospital or Opera House. During this time the patient will be examined and following investigations will be advised accordingly:
