Drug-free IVF– A new ray of hope for fertility-challenged women

CAPA IVM or Drug-Free IVF ensures a more convenient, less stressful, cost-effective, and harmonious treatment experience for women facing fertility issues. Many women in India battle infertility due to several lifestyle factors, medical reasons, delayed parenthood, environmental factors, obesity, diabetes, etc. IVF has been one of the greatest medical revolutions in the last 45 years, enabling the birth of millions of babies worldwide. Unfortunately, many fertility-challenged women quit IVF treatment due to the physical, emotional, and financial trauma associated with it. CAPA IVM (Capacitation In vitro maturation/ Bi-phasic IVM) is an advanced fertility treatment that includes only a few injections, causes no side effects like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome, and is economical.

Oasis Fertility is one of the few centres in the world to offer this unique technique to women to achieve their parenthood dream in a much safer and hassle-free manner. CAPA IVM is a shorter duration protocol, offers good results, and is recommended for women with PCOS, women who are advised against hormonal injections, or have conditions like resistant ovary syndrome, women with thrombophilia, oocyte maturation problems, and hormone-sensitive cancer.

Being a knowledge and technology-driven organization, Oasis Fertility embraced this new technology through continuous research pursuits, exclusive training under global experts, and a commitment to service excellence.

IVM – WOMEN-FRIENDLY ADVANCED FERTILITY TREATMENT

IVM (In vitro maturation) is specifically for women who may develop severe side effects from hormonal injections or patients with poor response. In this method, unlike IVF, wherein more injections are used to collect mature eggs for the IVF process, immature eggs are retrieved with a few injections. This is a much safer procedure and Oasis Fertility is one of the very few centres in the country that has the necessary expertise and experience in IVM.

PGT & ERA – A BOON TO WOMEN WITH RECURRENT MISCARRIAGES

Miscarriage is very painful both physically and emotionally. Some women have several miscarriages and lose hope in attaining parenthood, as the cause for miscarriage is undiagnosed. Genetic abnormalities in the embryo could be the reason for the miscarriage. Women who have faced many miscarriages in the past can consult a fertility specialist and take up IVF in which case, the embryos formed during the process can be checked for the presence of any genetic abnormality through PGT (Pre-implantation Genetic Testing), an advanced technique to detect genetic abnormalities in an embryo before putting the embryo into the woman’s uterus for further development. Also, women with any family history of genetic disorders can use PGT and eliminate the risk of their offspring inheriting the genetic disorders.

HOW PGT HELPS?

• Detects genetic abnormalities in the embryo
• Helps in the selection of good embryos
• Helps in the prevention of transmission of genetic disorders from the parent to the child
• Reduces time to pregnancy and the risk of miscarriage

ERA (ENDOMETRIAL RECEPTIVITY ARRAY)

ERA is another important technique that helps in detecting the best time for implantation of an embryo into the woman’s uterus in an IVF process. The success rate of IVF can be improved as ERA checks the genes of the uterine endometrium to predict the window of implantation (the time during which the uterus is most receptive to taking up an embryo).

FERTILITY PRESERVATION – A PROMISE OF PARENTHOOD TO WOMEN WITH CANCER

The incidence of cancer has risen due to erratic lifestyles, consumption of junk food, lack of exercise, and several other factors. Cancer and treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can also affect a woman’s fertility. This is where Fertility Preservation can help women with cancer preserve their fertility before undergoing cancer treatment and have the possibility of becoming a mother later in life in remission. Women’s eggs/embryos/ovarian tissue can be preserved by a technique called vitrification that enables them to have their biological children instead of going in for donor eggs or surrogacy.

SOCIAL FREEZING – A SAFE TOOL TO DELAY PARENTHOOD (IF REQUIRED)

Many women who are focused on education and career tend to postpone parenthood. But nobody can pause a woman’s biological clock and fertility tends to decline with age. Women are born with a fixed number of eggs which diminishes with every menstrual cycle. The ability to conceive decreases by the time woman hits her 30s. Women who wish to delay parenthood due to commitments can preserve fertility by freezing their eggs/ovarian tissue which can enable them to take up motherhood later at their convenience.

ANDROLIFE CLINICS – EQUAL SPACE FOR MEN TOO

AndroLife clinics are exclusive male fertility clinics that provide the space, privacy, and scope for male fertility treatments. Though 50% of infertility is due to the male factor, most men deny and delay fertility evaluation. AndroLife is a unique initiative to encourage men to openly discuss their fertility issues with andrologists and also take up advanced male fertility treatments that can bestow fatherhood. Delaying fertility consultation and treatment can have detrimental effects on conception.

Microfluidics, MACS (Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting), TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration), and Micro-TESE (Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction) are the advanced procedures that help in sperm selection and retrieval. Oasis Fertility has expertise in Micro-TESE which is used in men who have zero sperm count. This protocol is offered only by very few centres in the country.

ELECTRONIC WITNESSING SYSTEM – THE JOY OF EMBRACING BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN

Any IVF sample mismatch can ruin the happiness of parents. Understanding this, Oasis Fertility uses an advanced track and trace system that identifies, monitors, and records each step of the IVF process. Through this technology, the risk of errors and mismatches is prevented thereby enabling the woman/couples to have their biological child.

ARTis – EASY, CONVENIENT AND SAFE MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH RECORDS

ARTis (Assisted Reproductive Technology Information System) is Oasis’ cloud-based software that maintains patient records and also enables easy accessibility of reports anywhere anytime. All treatment processes including investigations, scan, procedures, reports, etc. are documented in ARTis which helps the patient to have clear insights into each and every step of the treatment, thereby maintaining transparency.

HOLISTIC AND PERSONALISED FERTILITY TREATMENTS @ OASIS FERTILITY

For each woman, the treatment protocol varies. The fertility specialist decides upon the treatment module based on the woman’s age, health status, medical history, lifestyle, risk factors, etc. Oasis Fertility follows a holistic approach including dietary changes, lifestyle modifications along with customized treatments to help women achieve motherhood.

OASIS’ INITIATIVES TO CREATE AWARENESS

Oasis Fertility creates awareness about infertility and advanced fertility treatments by conducting fertility camps in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Also, fertility specialists at Oasis Fertility encourage couples through webinars, talk shows, Facebook Live, etc. to open up and discuss fertility treatments. The main motto of Oasis Fertility is to spread wings in tier 2 and tier 3 cities thereby making fertility treatments accessible and affordable to people in these areas.

“We have reached greater milestones in the IVF industry in terms of safety and improved outcomes for couples over the last 45 years. Ethics and transparency are our core principles and we have always been focused on improving the patient experience during the IVF journey by means of several advanced technologies. Gifting couples the joy of embracing their biological children is what we aspire for. Lifestyle changes have become a major reason for the rise in infertility among women. Breaking the stigma is very crucial for women as fertility intervention at the right time gives better outcome,” says Dr. Prasanta Kumar Nayak, Clinical Head & Fertility Specialist, Oasis Fertility, Bhubaneswar.

“Male infertility is on the rise in India due to several reasons like obesity, diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, delayed parenthood, etc. Microfluidics is an advanced technique that helps in sperm selection for the IVF process that has in turn increased the success rate. Men with very low sperm count can become fathers due to advanced sperm retrieval techniques like Micro-TESE. The vital point is men need to wake up from their slumber and discuss their infertility issues openly. We cannot stop the biological clock neither in women nor in men; Hence taking the right step at the right time is crucial,” says Dr. Krishna Chaitanya, Scientific Head & Clinical Embryologist, Oasis Fertility.
