Saqib Fertility & IVF Center

It is a very distressing situation for a couple when they experience childlessness especially in our local culture of Pakistan.

It is usually expected from a couple to produce a baby as soon as possible after marriage and if this does not happen, the couple has to face many questions and interrogations to which they do not have any answer. Their frustration increase as they realize that things are not in their control.

Their hopes build up every month and when nothing happens they are shattered down. They ride through this emotional rolle4r coaster every month till their nerves come to a breaking point. Women are generally more affected by the social stigma being childless then men and thus they are the ones who suffer the most.

THE MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL

When to seek advice:
A couple should seriously thing about seeking medical advice if they still remain childless after one whole year of trying. If the wife is more than thirty years of age they should approach a doctor after six months of trying since increasing female age has profound effected on the success rate of the treatment cycles.
Initial Consultation & Counseling:

The couple should go together to see the expert as there are many things that need to be discussed. The couple is interviewed in detail about their reproductive and health history to identify possible reasons for the causes of their infertility

The details of any previous test (investigations) or prior treatment are review3ed in detail, this aid in planning future management. A full general physical examination is performed.The normal process of reproduction is explained to the patients so that they can grasp and understand the purpose of different steps taken.

Relevant initial test are ordered which are usually; semen analysis, Ultrasound scan, and few blood test. These test will tell us if the problem lies in ovulation (egg formation) or sperm production or is there any other pathology in the ovary or uterus (womb).

Follow up Consultations

The result of previous test are discussed. Fe more advanced test might be required like laparoscopy, to look inside tummy of the female by camera, under general anesthesia. This will give full information about the fallopian tubes (ovi ducts) which are very important and crucial organs fore pregnancy to occur. If the husband’s semen shows no sperm then he will need few more specific test to find out if he is producing sperms inside the testicles or not.

If a certain cause of sub fertility is identified, the treatment is directed accordingly. It is a proven fact that 30% of the time the problem lies within the male and 30% of the time there is a female factor responsible. While 30% of the time there is both male and female factors leading to sub fertility and in the remaining 10% of case the cause is unknown (unexplained infertility). After determining the source of the problem, different treatment options are discussed with the patient.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Ovulation Induction any Cycle Monitoring
This is simple procedure and is the first choice when Semen is normal and the fallopian tubes are functioning normally. The wife is given drugs in tablet or injectable form to stimulate her ovaries gently so that she may form more than one egg. This process of follicle with egg formation is observed and monitored trans-vaginal ultrasound.Once the follicles are of mature size, an intramuscular injection is administered to achieve the final release of eggs. the couple is advised to practice the regular intercourse for the next few days as this is the best time to achieve a pregnancy.
Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI)This is usually the second step when fallopian tubes are normal and semen report is either normal or has border line problems.
Ovulation induction can be done or the natural cycle may be used. This is usually the second step when fallopian tubes are normal and semen report is either normal or has border line problems. Ovulation induction can be done or the natural cycle may be used. Once follicles are mature the couple comes to the center and a semen sample is collected and processed in the lab.The semen is washed and centrifuged. Then swim up technique is used to collect best quality of rapidly motile sperms.Then these washed sperms are injected into the wife’s uterus. This is a pain less procedure. The couple goes home and for next few days intercourse is encouraged. The success rate is nearly 10 to 15% with this procedure and it can be repeated up to a maximum of six times if necessary.
In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Embryo Transfer (ET)
This is commonly known as “test tube baby” The first test tube baby was born in 1978 in UK and since the thousands of babies all around the world have been born using this technique. In case of fallopian tube pathology this is the only solution which can be offered, the other categories of patients who would benefit from this option include those with polycystic ovarian disease, endometriosis, more than five years of treatment failure, and those with unexplained infertility. The semen analysis must be normal.
