ICSI came into existence in 1992; the first baby via this procedure was born in Belgium. ICSI is one of the techniques in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and can be considered as the extent of the IVF process. ICSI is the procedure where a single sperm is directly injected into the cytoplasm of each egg. ICSI is usually tagged along with IVF treatment. ICSI is the beneficial procedure for those males, who face male infertility such as low sperm count, less mobility of the sperm, and unable to penetrate itself into the egg’s wall. In rare cases of male infertility, there are some men, who are found to be no sperm (or very few) in his ejaculation – during this case, SSR (Surgical Sperm Retrieval) is performed using ICSI method.

ICSI is the process, where the embryologist inserts a single sperm into each egg, which has been retrieved at the time of egg collection; once the embryologist inseminates the sperm into the egg, he or she then leaves the petri dish for few days in the lab. The experts keep noticing the fertilized egg and plan whether the embryo is ready to transfer into the woman’s uterus or not.

ICSI treatment cuts-down the time of fertilization compared to the conventional IVF method. ICSI is the second most advanced fertility treatment, with IVF being the first.

Fertilization in ICSI technique –

Fertilization in IVF treatment can be achieved in two ways –

Traditional method
ICSI technique

A couple, if undergoing standard or traditional IVF, fertilization occurs naturally, where the most motile and active sperm gets penetrated the egg’s wall and goes into the cytoplasm. Here, more than 50,000 sperms are placed next to the eggs for natural fertilization. On the other hand, ICSI requires a unique technique at the time of insemination. During this procedure, a glass needle (called micropipette), is used by the specialist to inject the sperm directly into the egg’s cytoplasm. This process is accomplished by providing stimulatory drugs to the woman. Once the eggs are enough matured, eggs are taken out from the woman’s ovaries and kept in the petri dish. Later on, the step of fertilization is performed, and single sperm is injected into each of the eggs, which has been collected.

There is not such any requirement of the sperms to naturally penetrate with the egg’s wall and reaching the cytoplasm in the case of ICSI. Hence, there is the lessening time in the procedure of ICSI comparative to conventional IVF. ICSI is one of the advanced methods of IVF, but it never gives the assurance of the fertilization being successful. Undeniably, ICSI has a bit increased success rate comparing to IVF but not comes with a guarantee.

ICSI Definition –

ICSI is the acronym of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, which is one of the productive methods of assisted reproductive technology (ART). This technique is used in the case of male infertility. Also, when the male is found to be azoospermic (absent of sperms), sperms are collected using a surgical way, and then via the ICSI method, a single sperm is directly injected into the egg.

With this advancement of the technique, a single sperm is introduced into the egg, which has been obtained during IVF. Once the sperm gets fused into the egg, later is the formation of Embryo. Experts wait for few days for embryo transfer. Pregnancy is initiated once the embryo gets implanted into the uterus. ICSI gives a high success rate than IVF treatment.

Is there any difference between IVF and ICSI?

There is no such significant difference between IVF and ICSI because each of the procedures is the same, apart from the cost and the system of fertilization. During the conventional IVF, the eggs are just kept with the sperm in the petri dish letting the natural fertilization happen. On the other hand, ICSI takes a speedy step of fertilization. The embryologist inserts a single sperm directly into the egg and insemination takes place. Apart from this step, the rest of the procedure is similar to the IVF. A couple chooses ICSI treatment if the male’s sperm has some abnormality.

Steps involving during ICSI technique –

As described above, the method, which is used during ICSI, is known as Micromanipulation. In this technique, the embryologists of Go IVF Surrogacy under the inverted microscope are used to choose and pick the sperm, which is motile and normal. The sperms are selected in a special needle.

Once the experts obtain the sperm, the next process is injecting this sperm one by one into the inner part of the egg. The needle is carefully removed after inserting the sperm into the egg’s cytoplasm. Now, these eggs are inspected under the guidance of the fertility team and analyze on which day, the embryo should be transferred into the woman’s uterus. This is all about the process of ICSI.

At The End –

Since a single sperm is inserted into the egg, ICSI is one of the highly-targeted methods of IVF treatment, providing a good success rate. ICSI technique won’t be an active process, if the female is supposed to be infertile, i.e., if the female comes up with the poor quality of the eggs. If the male’s sperm could not be treated with ICSI, then some other advanced forms of ICSI can be used such as PICSI, IMSI.

Infertility is when a couple is unable to bear pregnancy due to various reasons and there are a plethora of reasons that contribute to such inefficiency. Amongst various reasons imbalanced FSH levels adversely impact the fertility in a woman as they play a major role in determining if you would be able to get pregnant or not. Fluctuation in FSH levels indicates the number and quality of eggs in your ovaries. For a healthy pregnancy to occur, it is crucial for a woman to have the best quality and adequate quantity of eggs, which is determined by her FSH levels. However, it is not essential that the FSH level is the only factor that helps in assessing whether you could conceive and a woman may be able to conceive if she does not have balanced FSH levels.

Go IVF Surrogacy is a prominent medical tourism company in India that works in collaboration with highly proficient fertility specialists with over 30 years of experience in providing the finest quality fertility treatment. They effectively work to diagnose the root cause of infertility and advise the most suitable course of treatment in accordance with the condition of the patient. Our team at the concerned network hospital provides comprehensive assistance to the patients for ensuring that they receive success in the fertility treatment.

What is FSH?

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is a hormone released by the pituitary gland responsible for controlling the functions of ovaries and testes. Inefficient functioning of these hormones can cause serious reproductive issues when it comes to pregnancy and fertility. It is one of the two gonadotrophic hormones, another is a luteinising hormone, and both the hormones are produced and released by the pituitary gland, which is situated below your brain. FSH is crucial for reproductive development and effective functions of the woman’s ovaries.

The FSH aid in regulating the menstrual cycle of a woman and the speed and efficiency with which ovaries produce eggs. There is fluctuation in the FSH levels while a woman is on her periods and reaches its peak when a woman ovulates. On the other hand, FSH helps in managing healthy sperm production, however, imbalanced FSH levels is rarely an issue that men deal with. Balanced FSH levels imply a healthy and perfect functioning of male and female sex hormones.

FSH and Infertility

The uneven FSH levels negatively impact a woman’s fertility as it diminishes her ovarian reserve. High levels of FSH mean that there is a problem in the development and maturity of eggs. Diminished ovarian reserve is the term for mild to moderate FSH levels and indicates that a woman’s ovaries make less than required eggs for pregnancy. One of the symptoms of increased FSH levels is the short duration of a menstruation cycle.

FSH levels are a great indicator of the possibility of achieving success with infertility treatments such as IUI or IVF. Apart from impacting natural pregnancy, high FSH levels also indicate that fertility treatment may not produce desired results as the fertility medication may not be effective or undergoing the IVF or other fertility treatment may result in failure. The number of eggs in your ovaries is mutually related to your FSH levels during the second and third day of your menstrual cycle. A high FSH level implies less quantity of available eggs.

FSH level test is done on usually the second or third day of your menstrual cycle, where blood is obtained from your vein through injection. The test helps in accurately assessing your reproductive and ovarian health but however, an FSH test is not helpful when it comes to finding the exact cause of infertility.

What different levels of FSH indicate?

If it has been more than a month since a woman’s menstrual cycle has occurred, then the probable reason behind high FSH levels is menopause, where a woman’s menstrual cycle permanently ceases to exist. The ovarian failure makes it impossible for a woman to get pregnant via natural means. Females having high FSH levels may not benefit from the fertility medication as well because it may not help in stimulating a healthy egg production due to high FSH levels. However, there will be some fertile eggs but a fertility treatment may not bear the expected results as a large number of quality eggs are required for ensuring great results in IVF or other types of fertility treatment.

Low FSH levels are usually due to issues in the effective functioning of the pituitary gland, which is a critical part of the brain performing the important role of managing the functioning of your reproductive system. Whereas a normal FSH level indicates the better chance of a woman achieving pregnancy and have a reproductive system highly responsive to fertility medication and fertility drugs.

At Go IVF Surrogacy, our fertility specialists efficiently diagnose the patient’s condition in order to suggest the best suitable fertility treatment. They make sure that you get desired outcomes in your fertility treatment and receive a great treatment experience at the concerned hospital provided by our medical tourism company.

Conscious-about-your-fertility-potential-Things-you-need-to-know-1200x1250.jpg

To know whether a male or female facing fertility issues, the specialist will go over some sexual history, health history, any past medical problem, how often the couple involves sexual intercourse and some other relevant information.

A male has to undergo a physical evaluation test and if recommended then the male has to go for a semen analysis test too- these tests clarify the specialist to know the root cause behind his infertility (if there is any). Semen analysis test is a test performed to know if there are any issues in a male’s fertility system. If the sperm is found non-motile, inactive or very less in the count then the specialists will further look for the treatment suitable for his case. We are going to discuss the most preferred fertility treatment options for males (females also) as this page goes down.

Talking about the female fertility diagnostic tests, the specialist starts questioning about female’s any past medical history if any surgery she has been undergone; a physical exam and a pelvic exam is carried out. The specialist makes sure that the female is ovulating properly and releasing the eggs from her ovaries without any barrier. Specialists also take blood tests to evaluate hormonal levels. If necessary, female’s uterus and fallopian tubes are examined by specific X-ray tests and ultrasound.

Approximate 70-80% of females have a common issue behind their infertility with their ovulation issue or have blocked fallopian tubes. Males have sperm issues (such as inactive, less motile, low count of sperm or morphologically unfit sperm). In 5-15% of infertility cases, the cause is unknown or idiopathic.

Women facing ovulation issues can be solved by fertility medication but if a woman faces severe infertility issues such as painful menstrual cycle, irregular ovulation (or menstruation for the past few months), then she needs to undergo advanced fertility treatment options to have own baby. The same goes for males if a male experiences mild male factor infertility, then by the help of IUI treatment he can impregnate his partner.

Positive-Pregnancy-Test-When-Did-I-Conceive-1200x607.jpg

If you get your pregnancy test positive, the next question in your mind is that when I conceive a baby. It is very difficult to tell the exact day or date when you get pregnant. Even if you had intercourse one time during your cycle and became pregnant, it is possible that the day when you had intercourse was not the same day you conceived. That is the reason that men sperm can survive inside your vagina for up to five days after you had intercourse and it will wait for an egg to become available during ovulation.

How to Calculate the Conception Date?

It is impossible to calculate the exact conception date, but it is possible for your fertility experts at Go IVF Surrogacy to calculate a nearby time in which you would likely to be conceived. If you are thinking that when you conceived than the best clues are to use the last date of your periods.

Generally, most of the fertility experts calculate the pregnancy date based on your last menstrual period. If you have a regular cycle which means you get your periods around 28 days then you can estimate that your ovulation will take place around day 14 of your cycle.

So, now you can easily figure out that when you conceived and how far along you are, you just need to think back to your last period and add 14 days from your first day of menstruation. In this way, you can use this data to estimate that when you may have conceived and also you can count from there how far along you may be. For example, if your fertility expert says that you are 8 weeks pregnant then based on your last period, you can count 14 days from the first day of your last period and can use this date as your conception date.

Knowing this, many couples start thinking that conception dates are accurate. It is difficult to say, as it has been noticed that the fertility expert will give you the pregnancy date based on your last period even though you would not have been pregnant that day. This is the reason that it becomes because to pinpoint the exact conception dates. Many women know the conception window and they use this information when making pregnancy and medical decisions because they are the ones who can be rather accurate considering ovulation that will occur in a shorter period.

However, the women who are dealing with abnormal cycles or fertility issues such as PCOS or endometriosis for them it is difficult to pinpoint the conception dates.

When Does Conception Take Place?

The exact moment when the conception will take place is not clear, but it begins when a sperm burrows into the women’s egg within 24 hours after ovulation. Some study says conception will take place when men sperm meets women egg, and the other says it will take place when the combination of sperm and egg implant into the women uterus.

What are the Symptoms during Ovulation?

The following are the symptoms that occur at the time of ovulation and these are:

a) Cervical fluid changes: This is a symptom of ovulation in which your cervical mucus will be clear and stretchy just like egg white.

b) Change in cervix texture and position: The study says that during ovulation the cervix is open and this is a time when it becomes softer and it’s positioned goes up to a higher level.

c) Mild bloating: It has been found that there is a rise in estrogen levels before ovulation and this will trigger the release of LH (luteinizing hormone). This surge in hormones is a cause of water retention and it leads to feelings of bloat.

d) Mild cramping: Some women feel a twinge on one side of their lower abdomen and this will only last for a few hours.

e) Changes in basal body temperature: It has been found that after the women ovulate, there will be a rise in temperature has seen. In this case, women need to track their basal body temperature over several months to predict when ovulation occurs.

f) Light spotting: This is a symptom of ovulation which rarely occurs, but some women may experience light spotting when they wipe. In such cases, the bleeding should not be heavy, red, or last more than a few hours.

How to Track the Menstrual Cycle?

According to the study, the menstrual cycle will last from 26 to 35 days. This is a time when few things occur and these are:

Days 1 to 7: You will have a period and this is a time when your uterine lining is shed if there is no pregnancy found.
Days 10 to 14: This is the time when you are fertile or you ovulate when an egg is released from your ovaries. This is a time when the chances of conceiving are high.
Days 15 to 35: This is a stage; if you get pregnant them implantation will take place. This stage is also known as the luteal phase.

This is an average cycle for many women and for those women who have irregular monthly cycles, for them, it is difficult to calculate the ovulation period and there is no real way of calculating that when ovulation will take place for them without some type of hormone testing, which can be done with an over-the-counter ovulation predictor kit or blood test.

How to Calculate Due Date?

On average, a baby born 40 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period. This is the way your fertility expert will calculate the gestational age. This will include the two weeks before conception when a woman is not pregnant and it is usually based on a 28 days cycle, and these days need to be adjusted for longer or shorter cycles. But, even with adjustments, it has been found that less than 30% of women deliver the baby on their calculated due dates, so it is normal if women give birth two weeks before or after the estimated due date.

How-Family-and-Partner-Plays-Vital-Role-throughout-IVF-treatment-min-1200x500.jpg

What makes a PERFECT family? True, it’s Bonding- that makes a family an ideal one. Bonding doesn’t mean that the members are connected only in the jovial phase rather a family is said to be idyllic when each member is coupled with one another in all ups and downs. Family plays a vital role throughout an individual’s life. Coming to the main point, we are discussing here, the most preferred ART technique- about IVF treatment and how family and the partner should decide on IVF treatment.

If you are outlining yourself to prepare for IVF treatment then this content would be advantageous to you. Apart from it, we are here to solve your fertility issue with the help of suitable fertility treatment. Go IVF Surrogacy is one of the ongoing fertility centers that endeavor 100% effort to achieve positive pregnancy tests, keeping Mother always safe.

IVF is not at all an easy-going procedure, throughout the entire process, a female has to undergo with several steps, beginning from initial consultation, fertility medication, follicular aspiration process, few ultrasounds, blood work, embryo transfer and so on. So, a couple, especially a woman has to learn the way to handle frustration, time lag during IVF treatment, shock, grief, and discomfort; apart from it, she also needs to know how to carry self-confidence and positivity all through the way of IVF treatment.

The question comes here who can provide you- confidence, hopefulness, and optimism before, during or after the treatment? It’s Family. Family plays an essential role in how to cope with the situation, hurdles, stress and other worries. Let’s get to know how your family and your partner contribute to the success rate during IVF treatment of yours.

You need to make sure you have a healthy equation with your Partner –

Completely True! Studies have depicted the one who suffers in their relationship might suffer in their treatment too. The conversation is the key to unlock any trouble, so take out your time and have a nice discussion with your partner. During IVF, the female is majorly involved in all the steps, because of this some men just leave the hands of their partner; it should not be like this. Since the baby born after IVF will not only be associated with Mother but father too, therefore you both have to work as a team.

If you both understand each other, neither the relationship suffers nor you will get into unnecessary arguments during the medication. Try to understand the emotional bond and support, which is indispensable throughout IVF treatment. It is usually observed that the couples having infertility avoid talking or discussing any matter with their close ones, friends or relatives. Make sure to communicate with positive people because they not only guide you the best but also they can calm your anxiety and worries.

However, a relationship is one of the biggest strengths during the couple’s IVF treatment. Each couple, who is settling on this treatment, should keep in their mind that nothing is more central than you and your partner’s relationship.

One more important aspect is not to blame each other. Blaming sounds weird and does not make sense. Try to have a funny talk, crack a joke and go for movies. Staying contended is not that difficult as it sounds. Enjoy each moment even if it is not going according to you; make sure you both never ever leave each other’s hand.

Some side-effects of medications and your family support –

The above point was of you and your relationship with your partner and now here comes, how family support is important. Fertility medication during IVF treatment can have mood swings, anger issues, irritability, and discomfort. So, during the course of medication, a female has to calm down herself, avoid taking needless stress and tension. Hormonal injections and fertility drugs also lead to several psychological side effects.

During the phase of the initial medication, a female has to consume the synthetic estrogen clomiphene citrate that facilitates egg maturity level and multiple eggs to be prepared. This fertility medication is one of the essential parts of IVF treatment. Though this drug enhances the possibility of fertilization, it causes female partner (patient) uneasiness, hence it is advised by the expert not to take any kind of stress and hassle regarding their result.

Meanwhile, you have your family by your side- The principal of your life. Share each and every feeling with your family member, have a chit-chat with your close ones. Communicate as much as you want, surround with those people whose opinions and views are positive. You can also consult with a specialist about the side-effects of the fertility medication, in order to cope up with that situation. If you will know earlier about the side-effects, it will be easy to deal with the issues. Stay Positive and Stay Calm.

Patience, Patience, and Patience- all you need –

Yesss!!! This is another key point to have your IVF unruffled and relaxed. You really have to carry Patience all the way of your IVF journey. Keep patience everything will be fine! With the procedure of IVF treatment, several couples have been blessed with a baby (sometimes at the second attempt of IVF and sometimes the couple gets conceived on their third attempt). So, have patience and go onward, everything will be fine.

You need to understand the significance of having patience. Sometimes, women face multiple miscarriages, they usually get mentally disturbed and this is the hardest phase, where they really want someone, who can hold their emotional level or need strong family support. Failed IVF treatment can also lead to unnecessary stress.

The family has a miraculous touch, so it is important to exchange your thoughts, even if you are sorrow doesn’t matter, go and speak with your close ones. However, you should not lose hope even if your first attempt IVF fails; there are numerous ART treatments that can help you to attain pregnancy.

In cases, the sperms are not available in men’s ejaculate that can be retrieved directly from the testicles or epididymis using sperm retrieval techniques.

b) Treatments for intercourse issues: This can be treated by taking medication or counseling which can help in improving the fertility in conditions such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.

c) Hormone treatments and medications: Your fertility expert at Go IVF Surrogacy will recommend hormone replacement or medication treatment and this will be recommended when the infertility is caused by high or low levels of certain hormones with the way the body uses hormones.

d) Treating infections: Your fertility expert will recommend some antibiotics which can cure an infection of the reproductive tract, but this treatment does not always restore fertility.

e) Assisted reproductive technology (ART): ART is a procedure in which your fertility experts will obtain sperm through normal ejaculation, surgical extraction or from donor individuals, and this will depend on your specific situation. The sperm is then inserted into the women uterus, or that will be used for IVF or Intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

What are the symptoms of low sperm count?

The main symptom of low sperm count is the inability to conceive a child. There are cases where are some underlying problem such as an inherited hormonal imbalance, dilated testicular veins or a condition which blocks the sperm passage which may cause signs and symptoms. The following are the low sperm count symptoms:

Male member dealing with the problems of sexual function, for example, he may face difficulty while maintaining an erection or low sex drive.
Male member dealing with pain, swelling or a lump in his testicle area.
There is a decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosome or hormone abnormality.

What are the reasons for low sperm count?

The following can be the reasons for low sperm count and these are:

a) Medical Problems: A condition which is known as varicocele that causes swelling of the veins that drain the testicles and is the most common and reversible cause of low sperm count. There are certain infections which can interfere with sperm production. Medications which can cause ejaculatory problems, cancers, and tumors, etc. are all other medical reasons for oligospermia which results in low sperm count.

b) Environmental factors: An environmental factor includes the exposure to industrial chemicals and radiation and overheating of the testicles. The production of sperm mainly depends on the temperature of the testicles. The scrotum regulates the temperature of the testes. However, if there is an extreme heat situation, the natural cooling of scrotums could be insufficient to prevent the rise in testicular temperature. It has been found that the increase in temperature affects both the quality and quantity of the production of the sperm.

c) Lifestyle and health issues: The excessive use of drugs, consumption of alcohol and smoking, unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, wearing tight clothes, excess body weight, emotional stress, etc. are factors which affect the quality of the sperm production.

How to prevent low sperm count?

Avoid heat
Avoid pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxins.
Avoid stress

What tests your fertility experts recommend to identify the low sperm count?

The following are some common tests which your fertility expert will recommend so that they can identify the low sperm count and these are:

a) Scrotal ultrasound: The fertility expert will conduct this test so that with the help of high-frequency sound waves they are able to look at the testicles and supporting structures.

b) Hormonal testing: Your fertility expert will recommend a blood test which helps in determining the level of hormones produced by the pituitary gland and testicles and this play a key role in sexual development and sperm production.

c) Testicular biopsy: Your fertility expert will perform this test in which he/she will remove the samples from the testicle with a needle. After the testicular biopsy, your fertility expert is able to confirm whether the sperm production is normal. If it is then your problem is likely caused by a blockage or another problem with sperm transport. However, this test is not commonly used to diagnose the cause of infertility.

d) Genetic tests: When the concentration of the sperm is extremely low the reason could be a genetic disorder. Your fertility expert will recommend a blood test which can reveal whether there are subtle changes in the Y chromosome which is a sign of a genetic abnormality. Genetic testing is also recommended to diagnose various congenital or inherited syndromes.

e) Post-ejaculation urinalysis: This test is conducted to indicate that sperm in your urine is traveling backward into the bladder instead of out your penis during ejaculation.

f) Transrectal ultrasound: During Transrectal ultrasound your fertility expert will insert a small lubricated wand into your rectum to check your prostate and check for blockages of the tubes which carry semen.

g) Anti-sperm antibody tests: These tests are conducted to check for immune cells which attack sperm and affect their ability to function properly.

h) Test for sperm function: Your fertility expert will perform the number of tests to check how well your sperm survive after ejaculation, are they able to penetrate an egg and whether there’s any problem while attaching to the women egg. These are the tests which are rarely performed and do not have any significant change treatment recommendations.

- What does the treatment cost?
- The success rate of the Infertility clinic

How-Fertility-And-Egg-Quality-Are-Directly-Connected.jpg

The woman’s egg quality is strongly related to the age of a woman. Egg quality is quite synonymous with the “probability of embryo implantation”. Quality of eggs refers to the state of an egg as genetically normal or abnormal. So, yes, fertility and egg quality are directly connected; let’s go through deep in this topic.

How the Age Factor Responsible for a Woman’s Egg Quality?

As age increases, the DNA inside the female’s egg begins to degrade. Since we all know that females are born with a number of eggs, these eggs are exposed to all kinds of damaging such as infection, fever, stress, toxins, etc. these exposures sometimes lead to mistakes in the egg cell’s DNA, which is known as chromosomal abnormalities. And once the cell’s DNA starts to decline, it never fixes neither it can be healed.

Or we can say, once the eggs become abnormal, it cannot be improved into its normal condition. There are two types of egg quality – either normal (euploid) or abnormal (aneuploid).

Fertility changes with the age; for females, the starting of their reproductive time is marked by the onset of female’s menstruation cycle. This reproductive potential decreases as the age of women increases and are expected before 8 to 10 year of menopause, women lose their ability to reproduce.

The relationship between the age of women and the egg quality is clear because whenever we discuss woman’s egg quality, we are focusing our point about the expected percentage of the woman’s total number of eggs, which are normal. Women, in the age of their 20s, have almost all the eggs in healthy condition and once, she reached her 40s, no matter how the female is living her lifestyle, her eggs quality becomes decline.

The Relationship Between a Female’s Fertility and her Egg Quality –

In each month during the ovulation cycle, a woman releases a single egg, which is supposed to be grown, matured and then released. This cycle is regulated in each month and if the egg does not get fertilized with the sperm during the fertility phase, then the lining of the uterus sheds through the vagina, this is referred as menstruation cycle.

The egg, which each woman ovulates, may be normal or abnormal too. If the egg is in sound condition then the pregnancy will be healthy and when the egg is abnormal, then the female might suffer tough pregnancy, it can lead to miscarriage, genetic disorder, etc.

Mentioned earlier, as the age of the women goes high, the quality and the quantity gets decreased. What if the female’s quality of eggs becomes decline? Egg always plays a vital role in achieving a healthy pregnancy and if the eggs are not of fine quality, then the female has to face struggling time in her pregnancy. This is the reason, why all the fertility expert suggests the couple get conceived before the age of 35 because 25-35 is the best time to have your own baby without any hurdles.

The major difference in egg quality between 25-year-old and a 40-year-old woman is a matter of that one egg, which she ovulated being normal or not because women in their late thirty’s or late forty’s release abnormal eggs and that are why women in this group suffer from their conceiving issue. This is the main cause, why women (above the age of 35) have their fertility decline, suffers from infertility syndrome, miscarriage, and genetic disorder too.

Bottom line –

Since the age of the women is directly correlated with the egg quality, it’s the age of the egg that really matters when talking to fertility and pregnancy. If a woman is under the age of 35, most probably (if she is not having any issue in her fertility) she will have a smooth pregnancy and delivery.

Some women prefer to get pregnant at her higher age (above 35 or so), for them, there is the best option available in ART technique- egg freezing. True, Egg freezing technique works awesome for those couples, who have outlined their pregnancy later on. Egg freezing allows the women to keep safe their eggs at their young age, the eggs, which have been preserved in the fertility clinic, are used later on when the couple wants to get pregnant. Go IVF Surrogacy is the leading healthcare company that comes up with the most efficacious fertility treatments for the infertile couples or for those couples, who are planning to delay their pregnancy by choosing egg freezing option.
