IVF Treatment Approach By Dr Snehal Patil
A Personal Consultation First
The first step in the process of your IVF treatment is through discussion. Dr. Snehal Patil understands your medical history and plans for you accordingly, not according to some preset formula.
Ovarian Stimulation
Fertility drugs are prescribed to ensure that there are several mature eggs that are produced from your ovaries. You will be under observation, and your dosage can be tailored to your needs.
Egg Retrieval
The eggs are harvested when they are mature in an easy process that is carried out while you are sedated. Your welfare is assured during this process.
Fertilisation and Embryo Development
The eggs are fertilized in the lab and the embryos are monitored while they develop. The most promising embryos are selected for transfer.
Embryo Transfer
The embryo selected is then placed in the womb. The selection regarding time and method of transfer, either fresh or frozen, depends upon your individual situation.
Follow-Up and Support
Once the transfer is completed, follow-ups will assist in determining your progress. Regardless of the results, you will be advised accordingly, and the ensuing pregnancy can proceed in the same manner.

Common Reasons Couples Need IVF
There is no single reason couples turn to IVF. For some, the cause is clear after testing. For others, it takes time to find out. Some common reasons include:
Fallopian tube damage or blockage:
The egg will not be fertilized by the sperm due to the damage or blockage.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS):
Women with PCOS that have failed to conceive using simple means can opt for IVF.
Endometriosis:
Endometriosis is a condition affecting the ovaries, tubes, and uterus.
Low ovarian reserve:
Conception becomes hard if the egg reserves in the ovaries are low.
Male infertility problem:
Sperm count, poor sperm motility, and abnormal shaped sperms can cause infertility.
Effect of aging:
Aging decreases the number of eggs in terms of quality and quantity, which may require IVF at a younger age.
Unexplained infertility:
There are cases where people have failed to conceive despite tests showing normal results.
“Infertility is rarely one person’s problem, and it is never anyone’s fault. Understanding the cause, together, is the first step toward choosing the right treatment.”
— Dr Snehal Patil
How Does Dr Snehal Patil Assess Fertility Before IVF?
IVF is not commenced without thorough evaluation. Assessment will make sure that IVF is indicated and will facilitate the process.
Menstrual History:
Discussion regarding your menstrual history, duration you have been trying to conceive, prior methods used, surgery performed and general health status.
Hormone Tests:
Blood tests including AMH and FSH levels reveal the status of your ovarian reserve and how your ovaries will respond to the treatment.
Ultrasound Scan & Antral Follicle Count:
The ultrasound scan helps identify the status of the ovaries and uterus while antral follicle count reveals more about the egg reserve.
Sperm Test:
Fertility is a joint issue hence the count, motility and morphology of the sperm will also be analyzed.
Tubal and Uterine Testing:
Some tests may be conducted in order to determine whether your fallopian tubes are patent and your uterus is suitable enough for carrying a pregnancy.
Plan:
The above results are considered together and a treatment, whether IVF or other, is suggested.
“A complete evaluation saves time and avoids unnecessary stress. When we understand what is happening, we can plan treatment with more confidence.”
