The unique feature of our Genesis Fertility Research Centre ( MMCH ) as far as the
Infertility and IVF LABORATORY - SCIENTIFIC
WORK are concerned is, it is a complete self satisfied set up, sufficiently
furnished with essential, standard and latest equipments for BLASTOCYST
CULTURE as well as Routine Embryo culture and conventional test tube
babies. In November 2013 India’s First “Capsule Test Tube Baby”
was born in our centre which added true value of our infertility services. We
have well experienced clinicians and embryologists who were trained in
pioneering centers worldwide, and we give every day basis IVF service
throughout the year. The 24 hours patient care in our centre, which has all
other departments with experts care, makes them feel safe and comfortable.
We are pioneers in the most versatile Embryo
Culture Method called BLASTOCYST CULTURE.
It is a unique technique to grow embryos beyond the third day of culture until
day5. In Conventional IVF, embryos are transferred into the uterus about two /
three days after the Egg Retrieval, which is two days earlier than would occur
naturally in the mother's womb. These blastocysts are endometrial friendly, as
the natural blastocyst of normal conception reaches the uterus only on the 5th
day and it has more implantation potential, while day 2/3 embryos are
transferred into the uterus in hostile condition, when endometrium is not
prepared for implantation.
In certain patients, blastocyst culturing allows
optimal selection of embryos for transfer, resulting in an increased
implantation rate per embryo transferred. However, it is important to
understand that this technology has another advantage of fewer embryos ( one or
two ) being transferred to eliminate the
possibility of multiple pregnancies, triplet/quadruplet,
while maintaining a higher pregnancy rate.. More than 8000 couples have been
benefited by the above said technique through GFRC (MMCH) - IVF service in the
past two decades.
The blastocyst culture is considered to be the
most ideal way of doing test tube baby, because they mimic natural JOURNEY OF
LIFE as they have transit in the fallopian tubes. To gain this advantage by
mimicking the natural way, in synchrony with developing endometrium, which is
ready for accepting the blastocyst only on the 5th or 6th day after ovulation,
we adopt blastocyst culture system which doubles the implantation rates as compared to day 2 or day 3 ET.
"Sequential
Transfer" is
considered to be an ideal one for many couples when they have limited number of
embryos and there is meager chance for the left over embryos to grow further.
The physician should undertake two times embryo transfers on day 3 and again on
day 5 by using very soft catheters to avoid injury to sibling embryos and
endometrial lining. This technique needs real expertise and patience and the
success depends on the physicians knowledge and experience in this technology.
The embryologist should also have sufficient expertise about the Blastocyst
culture technique.
We are really proud of our service , since we have the most experiencedteam [Dr.Nirmala Sadasivam] , which has pioneered in IVF science and Extended embryo culture - i.e BLASTOCYST
CULTURE since 1999.
