IVF, ICSI and Egg Donation

Age is the single biggest factor in natural fertility, and understanding exactly why sets up everything else in how infertility is investigated and treated. Dr. Parul Prakash, Head, Reproductive Medicine (IVF) at Artemis Hospital, Gurugram, used her Jivo Masterclass to walk through natural fertility physiology, lifestyle factors, the causes of both female and male infertility, and the full IVF and ICSI process from ovarian stimulation through embryo transfer.

What this series covers

This series works through why a woman's egg count declines from birth and why age drives fertility more than any other single factor, the lifestyle habits that measurably affect fertility, the distinct causes of female and male infertility and how each is investigated, when IVF becomes the right recommendation, the IVF process itself from stimulation to embryo transfer, and when ICSI specifically is used instead of conventional IVF.
