Embryology

Top Embryology Experts at Your Service

Embryology focuses on the development of embryos from the fertilization of gametes (sperm and egg) to the formation of a blastocyst. It is a critical field for understanding early-stage prenatal development. At Ankur IVF Fertility, we offer expert services to address all your embryology-related needs and questions, ensuring high-quality care and support in your fertility journey.

State-of-the-Art Infrastructure at Ankur IVF

The success of IVF largely relies on the quality of the embryology lab, where controlled conditions replicate the natural environment necessary for embryo development. At Ankur IVF, we prioritize the safety and viability of sperm, eggs, and embryos by maintaining optimal conditions for fertilization and growth. Our advanced technology and protocols help ensure the best possible outcome for every couple:

1. Cutting-Edge Cryopreservation Technology

Proper cryopreservation is essential for long-term storage of embryos. At Ankur IVF, we use high-quality cryoprotectants and rapid cooling methods to preserve embryos effectively. Our lab’s cryo units have built-in warning systems that alert us to any potential temperature fluctuations, ensuring controlled preservation and high-quality results.

2. Advanced IVF Incubators for Optimal Embryo Development

Ankur IVF labs are equipped with the latest K-SYSTEMS IVF Incubators, which feature infrared sensors and precise environmental controls to maintain optimal conditions for embryos. These incubators minimize exposure to air and external factors by storing embryos in individual chambers, reducing the risk of contamination and mix-ups.

3. Air Quality Control with Advanced Filtration Systems

Given the sensitivity of embryos, we take extra precautions to maintain a clean and sterile lab environment. Our lab uses HEPA filters that trap 99.97% of airborne particles and carbon filters to ensure the highest air quality. Additionally, air purifiers are employed to maintain cleanliness outside the lab to prevent any potential contamination.

4. Artificial Intelligence for Embryo Selection

AI-based software enhances the embryo selection process by helping embryologists identify the most viable embryos for transfer. This technology increases the chances of successful implantation by ensuring that only the embryos with the highest potential for success are selected.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I Consider IVF?

IVF was initially developed for women with blocked or absent fallopian tubes and remains the preferred treatment in these cases. It is also used for other fertility issues, including endometriosis, male infertility, and unexplained infertility, where no clear medical cause can be identified. Our specialists will assess your medical history and guide you towards the most suitable diagnostic tests and treatment options for your situation.

What Contributes to Male Infertility?

Around one-third of infertility cases are related to male factors, which can also contribute to a higher risk of miscarriage. The most common causes of male infertility include:

  • Abnormal sperm count or low sperm motility
  • Chronic health conditions like cancer
  • Environmental factors such as exposure to harmful chemicals or radiation
  • Lifestyle factors like obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption
  • Age

What Contributes to Female Infertility?

Infertility affects both men and women equally, with one-third of infertility cases linked to female factors. Globally, 50-80 million people experience infertility. Common causes of female infertility include.

  • Age
  • Endometriosis
  • Hormonal imbalances leading to ovulation issues
  • Blocked fallopian tubes
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Lifestyle factors such as obesity, smoking, alcohol, and poor diet
  • Unexplained infertility

How Does Age Impact a Woman's Fertility?

Women are born with about 2 million eggs in their ovaries. By the time a girl reaches puberty, approximately 11,000 eggs are lost each month. As a result, by the teenage years, a woman has around 300,000 to 400,000 eggs left. From then on, about 1,000 eggs are depleted monthly. This natural decline in egg quantity is unrelated to birth control, pregnancy, hormone levels, health, lifestyle, or supplements. Eventually, a woman reaches menopause when no viable eggs remain.

Does PCOS Affect a Woman's Fertility?

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition where women produce higher levels of male hormones, disrupting normal ovulation and causing irregular menstrual cycles. This hormonal imbalance makes it more difficult for women with PCOS to conceive, making it one of the leading causes of female infertility.
