Area of Expertise 

Dr Richa Ahluwalia, among the best IVF specialist in Jaipur, holds expertise in the following fertility departments:  

• Egg Freezing :The procedure involves extracting, freezing, and storing a woman’s eggs for future use. This helps retain the egg’s fertility, allowing them to be used later for conception via IVF. 
• Assisted Reproductive Techniques : The concept refers to the handling of female eggs, male sperm, or embryos outside the patient’s body in a laboratory. Its goal is to help patients conceive. Several methods are available under this bracket. IVF is the most widely recognised one.  
• Recurrent Implantation Failure Solutions : Recurrent implantation refers to multiple attempts in which the embryo fails to implant in the uterus, resulting in unsuccessful conception. This can occur for various reasons and may recur. At NOVA IVF, our doctors provide practical solutions to address and overcome these challenges.  
• Poor Ovarian Response Treatment Options: Poor Ovarian Response is a condition where the woman’s ovaries do not adequately respond to assisted reproductive techniques, leading to lower egg production. This can make the path to conception challenging. However, at NOVA IVF, doctors provide practical treatment options to tackle it.  
• Ovarian Rejuvenation Techniques: The procedure focuses on reactivating stem cells and follicles in the female ovary to improve the ovary's response to assisted reproductive techniques. This involves the precise injection of platelets into the ovary.
