Services Offered by Nova IVF Fertility in Whitefield
At the Nova IVF center in Whitefield, we offer a wide range of fertility services tailored to couples of varying ages and backgrounds, including those who have previously experienced unsuccessful IVF cycles. Our team of specialists at the IVF centre in Whitefield, conduct a thorough evaluation of each patient's condition to provide personalised guidance on the most suitable treatment option. We prioritise our patients' well-being by ensuring that they are fully informed about advanced diagnostic procedures and the subsequent diagnosis, empowering them to make an informed decision about their preferred course of treatment. We are dedicated to providing patient-centred care and work collaboratively with our patients to develop a customised treatment plan that caters to their individual needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
In addition, the IVF clinic in Whitefield offers a wide range of fertility treatments to help increase the chances of pregnancy. These treatments can be tailored to individual needs and may involve a combination of approaches to achieve a successful pregnancy:
Blood Tests Blood tests are commonly used in infertility assessments to determine hormone levels and other factors that may contribute to infertility. Hormone tests may include measuring levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones. Other tests may include checking for infectious diseases that may affect fertility, such as hepatitis B and C, HIV, and syphilis.
Semen Analysis Semen analysis is a common diagnostic test used to assess male fertility. The test examines the volume, concentration, and motility of sperm in the semen sample, as well as the shape (morphology) of the sperm. Abnormalities in any of these factors may indicate male infertility.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) IUI is a fertility treatment that involves placing washed and concentrated sperm directly into the uterus using a thin catheter. This is typically done around the time of ovulation to increase the chances of fertilization. IUI is often used when there is a mild male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, or cervical mucus problems.
In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF) IVF is a complex fertility treatment that involves fertilising eggs outside of the body in a laboratory setting. Eggs are collected from the woman's ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryos are then transferred into the woman's uterus in the hopes of achieving a successful pregnancy.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) ICSI is a specialised form of IVF that involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to achieve fertilisation. ICSI is often used when there are issues with sperm quality, such as low motility or abnormal morphology.
Pre-genetic Testing (PGT) PGT is a technique used during IVF to test embryos for genetic abnormalities before they are transferred into the uterus. This can help to identify embryos that are more likely to result in a successful pregnancy, as well as reduce the risk of passing on genetic disorders to offspring.
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) TESA is a minimally invasive procedure used to collect sperm directly from the testicles in men with obstructive azoospermia, where the sperm are produced but cannot be released into the semen due to a blockage. The sperm can then be used in IVF or ICSI procedures.
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) PESA is a procedure similar to TESA, but involves collecting sperm from the epididymis, a small tube that transports sperm from the testicles to the vas deferens. PESA is typically used in men with non-obstructive azoospermia, where sperm are not produced in the testicles.
Cryopreservation Cryopreservation involves freezing and storing eggs, sperm, or embryos for later use in fertility treatment. This can be helpful for individuals or couples who want to preserve their fertility for future use, or who may be undergoing medical treatments that could affect their fertility.

Donor program-Egg & Embryo Donor programs involve using donor eggs or embryos to achieve pregnancy in women who are unable to produce viable eggs or who may have a genetic condition that could be passed on to their offspring. Donor programs can also be used in same-sex male couples or single men who wish to have a biological child through surrogacy.
In summary, these methods for infertility assessment and treatment range from diagnostic blood tests and semen analysis to advanced fertility treatments such as IVF and ICSI. These methods are often tailored to an individual or couple's specific infertility issues and may involve a combination of different approaches to achieve a successful pregnancy.

Services offered at Nova IVF Hospital in Bannerghatta Road
At the IVF center in Bannerghatta Road, we have a panel of multidisciplinary experts who provide holistic guidance and attentive care to improve your chances of success.
The following are some of the services provided at the Nova IVF centre in Bangalore:
Preliminary Assessments Patients who visit a Nova IVF centre for the first time may have to undergo a series of specialised fertility evaluations, such as blood tests, ultrasounds, and semen analysis. The diagnostic procedures allow the experts to evaluate the patients’ clinical conditions in depth. After a comprehensive evaluation of the laboratory results, the physicians formulate a personalised strategy to guide them along the path to parenthood, customising the treatment plan to meet their individual requirements.
Semen Analysis The test is an evaluation of a man's sperm. Multiple iterations of sperm analysis tests are conducted to obtain a comprehensive understanding of sperm health, thereby enabling more informed and individualised treatment decisions.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) In the procedure, viable sperm are implanted directly into the uterine cavity by a fertility specialist. This facilitates an increase in the number of motile sperm reaching the uterus, which subsequently increases the chances of conception.
In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF) IVF can assist couples with obstructed fallopian tubes, endometriosis, male infertility, and inexplicable infertility. This procedure provides a solution when other methods fail. IVF is advantageous for women who have had multiple IUI failures, multiple pregnancy loss or those men with low sperm quality because it increases the likelihood of conception with viable embryos.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) ICSI is particularly beneficial when treating severe cases of male infertility, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, and aberrant sperm morphology. In this procedure, viable sperm is directly injected into the oocytes, thereby circumventing natural reproductive barriers.
Pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) By selecting embryos with normal genetic profiles, PGT significantly increases the likelihood of a successful pregnancy and reduces the risk of miscarriage and implantation failure. PGT enhances the overall success rates of various assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) - intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) TESA is useful in the treatment of male infertility, especially in cases of azoospermia in which there are no sperm present in the ejaculate. The minimally invasive method enables the direct extraction of viable sperm from the testicles.
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) In this procedure, the specialist collects sperm directly from the epididymis, especially when the male companion is experiencing certain types of infertility.
Magnetic Sperm Sorting (MACS) It is a technique used to sort healthy sperm from damaged or less viable ones. By enhancing sperm quality, MACS improves the odds of successful conception.
Cryopreservation For women concerned about age-related fertility decline, preserving eggs at a younger age can allow them to use healthier eggs when they are ready to start a family, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful conception. The advanced facility ensures that reproductive materials are available for use in multiple cycles of IVF or other fertility treatments in an effort to become a parent.

Services Offered by Nova IVF Fertility in Koramangala
At Nova IVF Fertility - Best IVF Centre in Koramangala., we offer a wide range of fertility services tailored to couples of varying ages and backgrounds, including those who have previously experienced unsuccessful IVF cycles. Our team of specialists at the best IVF center in Koramangala conducts a thorough evaluation of each patient's condition to provide personalised guidance on the most suitable treatment option. We prioritise our patients' well-being by ensuring that they are fully informed about advanced diagnostic procedures and the subsequent diagnosis, empowering them to make an informed decision about their preferred course of treatment. We are dedicated to providing patient-centred care and work collaboratively with our patients to develop a treatment plan that caters to their individual needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
The IVF center in Koramangala offers a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, along with specialized and sub-specialised treatments, which include:
Infertility Assessment To ensure that IVF is the appropriate treatment for first-time patients, we at the Nova IVF centre in Koramangala recommend a thorough fertility assessment. Our experts conduct an initial consultation, followed by a comprehensive evaluation and a range of tests, including blood tests, ultrasounds, HSG, and semen analysis. Based on the results, we work collaboratively with the patient to develop a personalised treatment plan. Our priority is to provide exceptional care and support throughout the treatment journey, including post-treatment follow-up, to help patients achieve their goal of starting a family. Additionally, we offer consultations for patients seeking a second opinion on their fertility assessment results.
Blood Tests Identifying the underlying causes of infertility, such as ovarian reserve and ovulation issues, is crucial and blood tests play a vital role in this process. At the IVF hospital in Koramangala, these tests may include assessing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), and other relevant measures. The results of these tests aid fertility specialists in recommending the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to each individual's unique circumstances.
Semen Analysis Semen analysis is a laboratory test that assesses factors such as sperm count, motility, and morphology, among others. The test is performed to evaluate the viability and health of the sperm and to determine whether or not they are contributing to infertility.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) In this procedure the sperm is placed directly into a woman's uterus to increase the chances of fertilization at our IVF clinic in Koramangala. The timing of the procedure is synced with ovulation, and the sperm is processed to improve its quality by removing seminal fluid.
In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF) In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a fertility treatment at our IVF clinic in Koramangala that involves fertilising an egg with sperm outside of the body in a hi-tech IVF laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the uterus to implant and form an embryo.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) ICSI is a specialised assisted reproductive technique that entails the direct injection of a single sperm into an egg. It is usually recommended when male infertility is a factor, when the woman is of advanced maternal age, or when previous IVF attempts have failed.
Magnetic-activated cell Screening (MACS) MACS is a specialised laboratory technique used in ART to select the healthiest sperm cells for use in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The MACS technique uses a magnetic field to separate sperm cells based on their surface receptors, which can indicate sperm DNA damage or other abnormalities. This allows embryologists to select only the healthiest sperm cells for fertilization and increase the chances of successful embryo development. MACS is especially beneficial for couples with severe male factor infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, or a history of failed IVF cycles.
Endometrial Receptivity Array (ERA) The ERA is a diagnostic test to assess the endometrium's capacity to receive an embryo by examining the expression of genes associated with receptivity in IVF treatments. The findings assist in customising the timing of embryo transfer to enhance the chances of success, particularly for individuals who have undergone unsuccessful IVF cycles.
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) involves the use of a fine needle to extract sperm from the epididymis. The minimally invasive surgical procedure is commonly recommended for men with reproductive tract obstruction that makes it difficult for sperm to be ejaculated, and the extracted sperm is typically used for ICSI at our IVF hospital in Koramangala.
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) TESA is a procedure that involves the removal of a small amount of testicular tissue using a needle or biopsy. The tissue is then examined to retrieve viable sperm for use in assisted reproductive techniques like IVF or ICSI.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) PGT is a process used in IVF that helps identify genetic abnormalities in embryos before they are transferred to the uterus. PGT can screen for a range of genetic conditions, such as chromosomal abnormalities, single gene disorders, and structural rearrangements. The testing is done on cells extracted from the embryo, and the results are used to select the most viable embryos for transfer. PGT is a valuable tool for couples with a history of genetic disorders or recurrent pregnancy loss, and it can improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Cryopreservation Of Egg, Sperm & Oocyte Cryopreservation refers to the method of freezing and preserving eggs, sperm, or oocytes for future use. The technique provides the opportunity for individuals to safeguard their fertility for various purposes, including medical treatments or delaying parenthood. These frozen cells can be safely stored for an extended period and can be thawed and utilised for IVF or IUI whenever necessary.
Laparoscopic surgery A minimally invasive surgical technique is used for diagnosing infertility and removing fibroids. This method involves smaller incisions, which can result in less pain and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
Beta HCG Beta HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. Its levels in the blood and urine can be measured to confirm pregnancy, monitor the health of the pregnancy, and detect potential complications such as ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.

The team of specialists will guide their patients about the best possible solution based on their conditions. We ensure that the patient is completely apprised about the advanced diagnostic procedures and the resulting diagnosis, before they select the best course of treatment that they are comfortable with. At the Nova IVF centre in Basaveshwaranagar, we will work with you in developing the best treatment plan for your specific needs. The centre offers a comprehensive range of advanced diagnostic techniques and speciality & sub-speciality treatments that include:
Blood TestsSeveral blood tests are available to determine if you, your partner, or both of you have an issue or issues that are causing infertility. Tests to diagnose the same include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level, antimüllerian hormone (AMH), estradiol, and/or inhibin-B, among other tests.
Infertility Assessment After a comprehensive consultation with your specialist team at the Nova centre, they will conduct an evaluation of your body, your health and lifestyle. The specialists may recommend one or more of the following preliminary tests that include a blood test, BBT charting, postcoital test among others, to determine the underlying factors that may be causing infertility. Your specialist will then analyse the results and work with you to develop a strategy.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) It is an X-ray dye test that allows your doctor to view your uterus and fallopian tubes to identify reproductive issues brought on by obstructed or irregularities in fallopian tubes.
Endometrial Receptivity Array (ERA) A test procedure used to diagnose whether the endometrial cavity is prepared for implantation of the embryo. It is often used to identify the window of implantation. It involves a small biopsy of a sample from the uterus lining called the endometrium.
Laparoscopic Surgery Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery that involves a laparoscope to be inserted from a small incision in the lower abdomen to help the specialists view the organs for signs of infertility.
Beta HCG The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is generated by trophoblast cells that are surrounding a developing embryo. The HCG blood test detects the existence of this hormone in your blood, whereas the BETA-HCG test measures the hormone's concentrations.
Semen Analysis A semen analysis is a lab test that evaluates sperm count, motility, and morphology among other factors. It analyses the viability and health of sperm to confirm or rule out the cause of infertility.
DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) The sperm DFI assesses the quality of semen. It measures the damage of DNA in the sperm sample.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) In the procedure, the spouse's sperm that has been washed are put into the uterus during the window when the woman's ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilised. It is a simple procedure that is recommended for many couples.
In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF) Many patients who have had unsuccessful IUI cycles can consider IVF as an advanced option. It is a complex series of procedures that are carried out in a lab where the mature eggs are retrieved from ovaries to be fertilised by the sperm.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Patients may elect ICSI when earlier IVF cycles have failed, or sperm motility is low, among other factors. ICSI is a microscopic method for sperm and egg fertilisation. The procedure entails picking up a sperm with the aid of a microscope to inject the sperm into each egg for fertilisation.
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) PESA is performed on men who are having their sperm harvested for IVF/ICSI. The procedure is elected for men who are experiencing obstructive azoospermia from an infection or an earlier vasectomy. It is carried out under local anaesthetic along with the egg retrieval procedure of the spouse.
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) The specialist creates an incision in the testis to locate and extract the sperm. The procedure can also be scheduled with the spouse's egg retrieval procedure.
Cryopreservation: Egg, Sperm & Oocyte Cryopreservation is a technique to freeze sperms, eggs, or embryos to be thawed later to manage fertility issues. Cryopreserved eggs, when properly stored, can remain viable even beyond 14 years, while sperms may remain viable indefinitely. Good quality embryos may be cryopreserved at any stage. Couples resort to cryopreservation if a partner has a medical condition like cancer. Also, many women may seek to freeze oocytes as an elective option to delay childbearing for personal or social reasons as well.
Donor Programme: Sperm, Egg & Embryo All donor sperm samples are obtained from established and registered sperm banks. Also, the sperm, embryos and eggs are from pre-screened and healthy anonymous donors. Both spouses undergo extensive counselling to be emotionally and mentally prepared for the procedure.
- Embryo Donation: In this method, an embryo developed through IVF procedure from a conceived patient/donor, is transferred into the uterus of an infertile woman.
- Egg Donation: Ovum (egg) donation is a procedure in which the husband's sperm are used to fertilise the eggs of a healthy egg donor, and the resultant embryos are then implanted into the wife's uterus.
- Sperm adoption: In the procedure, the wife’s eggs are inseminated with donor sperm through IUI, or her eggs are fertilised during an IVF / ICSI treatment.

Beta HCG The hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is generated by trophoblast cells that are surrounding a developing embryo. The HCG blood test detects the existence of this hormone in your blood, whereas the BETA-HCG test measures the hormone's concentrations.
Semen Analysis A semen analysis is a lab test that evaluates sperm count, motility, and morphology among other factors. It analyses the viability and health of sperm to confirm or rule out the cause of infertility.
DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) The sperm DFI assesses the quality of semen. It measures the damage of DNA in the sperm sample.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) In the procedure, the spouse's sperm that has been washed are put into the uterus during the window when the woman's ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilised. It is a simple procedure that is recommended for many couples.
In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF) Many patients who have had unsuccessful IUI cycles can consider IVF as an advanced option. It is a complex series of procedures that are carried out in a lab where the mature eggs are retrieved from ovaries to be fertilised by the sperm.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Patients may elect ICSI when earlier IVF cycles have failed, or sperm motility is low, among other factors. ICSI is a microscopic method for sperm and egg fertilisation. The procedure entails picking up a sperm with the aid of a microscope to inject the sperm into each egg for fertilisation.
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) PESA is performed on men who are having their sperm harvested for IVF/ICSI. The procedure is elected for men who are experiencing obstructive azoospermia from an infection or an earlier vasectomy. It is carried out under local anaesthetic along with the egg retrieval procedure of the spouse.
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) The specialist creates an incision in the testis to locate and extract the sperm. The procedure can also be scheduled with the spouse's egg retrieval procedure.
Cryopreservation: Egg, Sperm & Oocyte Cryopreservation is a technique to freeze sperms, eggs, or embryos to be thawed later to manage fertility issues. Cryopreserved eggs, when properly stored, can remain viable even beyond 14 years, while sperms may remain viable indefinitely. Good quality embryos may be cryopreserved at any stage. Couples resort to cryopreservation if a partner has a medical condition like cancer. Also, many women may seek to freeze oocytes as an elective option to delay childbearing for personal or social reasons as well.
Donor Programme: Sperm, Egg & Embryo All donor sperm samples are obtained from established and registered sperm banks. Also, the sperm, embryos and eggs are from pre-screened and healthy anonymous donors. Both spouses undergo extensive counselling to be emotionally and mentally prepared for the procedure.
- Embryo Donation: In this method, an embryo developed through IVF procedure from a conceived patient/donor, is transferred into the uterus of an infertile woman.
- Egg Donation: Ovum (egg) donation is a procedure in which the husband's sperm are used to fertilise the eggs of a healthy egg donor, and the resultant embryos are then implanted into the wife's uterus.
- Sperm adoption: In the procedure, the wife’s eggs are inseminated with donor sperm through IUI, or her eggs are fertilised during an IVF / ICSI treatment.
