Fertility treatments and services

Core ART procedure

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is one of modern medicine’s most established and successful assisted reproductive technologies. At Mysuru Fertility Centre, IVF is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Every cycle begins with an in-depth evaluation of ovarian reserve, pelvic anatomy, and sperm parameters to design an individualised stimulation protocol. Mature eggs are gently collected under short sedation and fertilised in our Class-100 cleanroom laboratory under the direct care of senior embryologists.

Commonly appropriate for

• Couples experiencing unexplained infertility after 12 or more months of natural attempts, or unsuccessful IUI
• Women with bilateral tubal obstruction, scarring, or previous salpingectomy

Precision micromanipulation

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) revolutionised reproductive medicine by overcoming severe male factor barriers. In standard IVF, thousands of sperm compete to penetrate an egg naturally in culture; in ICSI, our senior embryologist isolates a single morphologically healthy, motile sperm under 400x magnification and uses an ultra-fine glass micro-needle to gently inject it directly into the mature egg cytoplasm.

Commonly appropriate for

• Men with low sperm count (oligospermia), low motility (asthenospermia), or atypical morphology (teratospermia)
• Couples with previous IVF cycles showing unexpectedly low or absent fertilisation

Gentle first-line care

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is often the first medical treatment recommended for eligible couples navigating mild conception delays. The procedure synchronises natural or mildly stimulated ovulation with the intrauterine placement of laboratory-washed, concentrated motile sperm, bypassing the cervical mucus barrier entirely.

Commonly appropriate for

• Couples with unexplained infertility and normal confirmed tubal patency
• Mild male factor parameters (mild oligospermia or asthenospermia)

Physiological receptivity

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

In traditional fresh IVF, embryos are transferred just days after intensive ovarian stimulation, when oestrogen levels are supra-physiological. Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) decouples the egg retrieval from the transfer. High-grade blastocysts are vitrified, giving the body time to rest and allowing our clinical team to prepare the endometrium under optimal hormonal synchronisation.

Commonly appropriate for

• Patients who banked embryos during an IVF cycle to avoid OHSS
• Couples doing Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) who awaited screening results

Gentle conception care

Ovulation Induction & Follicular Tracking

Many women struggling to conceive simply do not release an egg reliably each month, due to conditions like PCOS or mild hormonal imbalances. Ovulation Induction uses well-tolerated oral medication (such as Letrozole) to stimulate follicular recruitment, accompanied by serial ultrasound monitoring to identify the exact window for timed intercourse.

Commonly appropriate for

• Women with irregular menstrual cycles, oligomenorrhoea, or PCOS
• Couples with normal semen parameters and confirmed open fallopian tubes

Regulated ART care

Donor-Assisted Reproductive Care

When ovarian reserve is severely depleted, or in cases of non-obstructive azoospermia or significant genetic conditions, donor-assisted reproduction offers a compassionate, scientifically sound pathway to parenthood. At Mysuru Fertility Centre, all donor programmes strictly comply with the National ART Act 2021, using registered, screened government ART banks.

Commonly appropriate for

• Women with premature ovarian failure (POF), or very low AMH with previous repeated IVF failures
• Advanced maternal age where chromosomal aneuploidy rates are elevated

Elective & medical preservation

Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation)

Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) allows women to take control of their biological timeline. Using the same gentle ovarian stimulation protocols as IVF, mature eggs are retrieved and instantly flash-frozen (vitrified) at −196°C in liquid nitrogen. Vitrified eggs remain biologically paused at the age they were frozen, preserving their reproductive potential for years.

Commonly appropriate for

• Women wishing to preserve their reproductive options while focusing on career, education, or personal timing
• Individuals facing medical therapies (such as chemotherapy or pelvic surgery) that could impact ovarian reserve

Cryopreservation care

Embryo Freezing (Cryopreservation)

During an IVF or ICSI cycle, multiple high-quality embryos often reach the blastocyst stage. Embryo freezing preserves these surplus viable embryos at −196°C. This allows couples to undergo future transfer cycles without having to repeat the hormonal stimulation and egg retrieval procedures.

Commonly appropriate for

• Couples with surplus viable blastocysts following their fresh embryo transfer
• Patients undergoing Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) who await biopsy screening results

Medical & oncofertility

Medical Fertility Preservation (Oncofertility)

Medical Fertility Preservation provides specialised, time-sensitive care for individuals diagnosed with oncological conditions, or facing medical therapies (chemotherapy, radiation, pelvic surgery) that could compromise ovarian reserve or testicular spermatogenesis. Our team collaborates directly with oncologists to initiate rapid-start preservation protocols within 24 to 48 hours.

Commonly appropriate for

• Patients recently diagnosed with cancer, preparing for gonadotoxic chemotherapy or pelvic radiation
• Individuals undergoing surgical procedures involving reproductive organs (for example bilateral oophorectomy)
