Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Infertility Treatment
  • Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)

Background:

  • Assisted conception techniques like IVF are prohibitively expensive for many infertile couples in India.
  • High costs limit access to essential fertility treatments for a significant population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore simplified and cost-effective assisted conception techniques.
  • To identify innovations that can reduce the financial burden of fertility treatments.
  • To advocate for research focused on improving pregnancy rates with these accessible methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent innovations in assisted conception.
  • Focus on techniques like natural cycle IVF, gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT), intravaginal culture, transcervical oocyte-sperm transfer, and ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval.
