Services Offered by Nova IVF Fertility Centre in Andheri

The Andheri centre provides a suite of advanced treatments that include in vitro fertilization (IVF), ICSI or intracytoplasmic sperm injection, embryo freezing, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and is committed to leveraging technology to enhance your chances of success.
The Nova IVF Fertility Andheri Centre provides a range of cutting-edge technology treatments comprising:
The IVF centre in Andheri empowers couples to overcome infertility through the use of their OWN EGGS. For this procedure, cutting-edge techniques are employed to ensure that the child inherits the DNA of the parents. The embryo is fertilised using the woman's ovaries and her partner's sperm. Generally, couples beginning their first IVF cycle may find it beneficial. However, it is not for women over 40, as the quantity and quality of ova swiftly decline after this age.
At the Nova IVF centre in Andheri, first-time patients may be required to undergo a series of specialised fertility examinations, such as blood tests, ultrasounds, and
sperm analysis, in order for physicians to determine the most effective course of treatment. After evaluating the laboratory results, the physician recommends a strategy for achieving parenthood based on the patient's unique clinical condition.
In this technique, sperm from the male partner is implanted into the uterus of the female partner in order to increase the likelihood of fertilisation.
During In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF), sperm and ova are extracted from the couple and fertilised in a laboratory. After the embryos are produced, they are placed in the uterus of the woman during the optimal "implantation window." To increase a woman's likelihood of becoming pregnant, physicians use advanced AI prediction tools to schedule the implantation.
It typically entails the direct injection of a healthy sperm into the partner's egg as part of IVF treatment.
ICSI is a complex assisted reproductive technology used to help infertile couples conceive.
Couples frequently use this test prior to in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to examine the oocytes for genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities. The test's capacity to identify high-quality embryos increases the likelihood that the progeny will be healthy.
This procedure is used when sperm is not seen in the ejaculate. It is a technique used in IVF and ICSI to collect sperm from the man's testicles in order to fertilise the woman's embryos.
It is a more recent technique for removing sperm from the epididymis within the testicle of the male companion. In the subsequent phase of IVF or ICSI, the most viable sperm will be chosen to fertilise the woman's egg.
Cryopreservation is the preserving and long-term storage of a couple's oocytes, sperm, or embryos. The facility preserves their viability so that they can be used in treatments such as IVF or ICSI at a later date.
