About Infertility and IVF

Ethical, Personalised Fertility Care for Couples and Individuals

The Department of Infertility and IVF at Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research provides fertility evaluation, counselling, assisted reproduction services, and fertility preservation support for couples and individuals planning a pregnancy.

We understand that infertility can be emotionally difficult and overwhelming. Our team of fertility specialists, health educators, specialty nurses, coordinators, embryology lab professionals, and support staff work together to guide patients through evaluation, treatment options, procedures, and follow-up care.

Our approach is ethical, personalised, and patient-centred. Before recommending IVF, we focus on understanding whether it is truly required. Many couples with ovulation concerns, irregular cycles, timing issues, or sexual dysfunction may be able to conceive with simpler treatment and guidance. IVF is advised only when clinically appropriate.

Conditions and Concerns We Support

Our Infertility and IVF team supports patients with concerns such as:

  • Difficulty conceiving
  • Irregular ovulation
  • Irregular menstrual cycles
  • Sexual dysfunction affecting conception
  • Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes
  • Poor sperm quality
  • Failed fertility treatment attempts
  • Poor egg quality
  • Age-related fertility concerns
  • Endometriosis-related infertility
  • Hormonal imbalance affecting fertility
  • Combined male and female infertility factors
  • Male infertility
  • Need for fertility preservation
  • Fertility planning before cancer treatment
  • Fertility preservation for delayed childbearing

When Should You Consult a Fertility Expert?

You may consider consulting a fertility expert if you have been trying to conceive without success or if you have known fertility-related risk factors.

Before considering IVF, it is important to first understand the cause of infertility. IVF may not be the first step for every couple. In some cases, ovulation support, cycle tracking, treatment of hormonal imbalance, treatment of sexual dysfunction, or simpler fertility options may be advised.

IVF May Be Required in Absolute Conditions Such As:

  • Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes
  • Poor sperm quality
  • Failed fertility treatment attempts

IVF May Be Considered in Relative Conditions Such As:

  • Unsuitable hormonal environment
  • Erratic ovulation
  • Poor egg quality
  • Increasing age of one or both partners
  • Selected cases of endometriosis
  • Combined male and female fertility factors

The decision to proceed with IVF depends on medical evaluation, test results, age, duration of infertility, previous treatment history, and individual goals.

Our Infertility & IVF Services

Fertility Consultation

A fertility consultation helps assess the reproductive health of both partners and identify possible reasons for difficulty in conceiving.

During consultation, the doctor may review:

  • Duration of trying to conceive
  • Menstrual and ovulation history
  • Previous pregnancies or miscarriages
  • Medical and surgical history
  • Lifestyle factors
  • Previous fertility treatments
  • Existing reports
  • Male and female fertility factors
  • Need for blood tests, imaging, semen analysis, or further evaluation

The goal is to create a treatment plan that is medically appropriate and aligned with the couple’s needs.

Comprehensive Fertility Evaluation

We believe in evaluating both partners before deciding treatment.

Evaluation may include:

  • General physical examination
  • Medical history review
  • Hormonal assessment
  • Ovulation assessment
  • Ultrasound or imaging, where required
  • Semen analysis
  • Genetic testing, where indicated
  • Review of previous fertility treatment attempts
  • Counselling on treatment options

This helps avoid unnecessary treatment and supports informed decision-making.

Andrology Services

Andrology services focus on male reproductive health and male infertility evaluation.

Male fertility assessment may include:

General Physical Examination and Medical History

The doctor may examine the reproductive organs and review inherited conditions, chronic health problems, illnesses, injuries, surgeries, or other factors that may affect fertility.

Semen Analysis

Semen analysis helps assess sperm count, movement, and function. If results are normal, further evaluation of the female partner may be recommended before additional male infertility testing.

Hormone Testing

Hormone testing may be advised to measure testosterone and other hormones involved in sperm production.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing may be recommended in selected cases to identify specific genetic causes of infertility.

Testicular Biopsy

A testicular biopsy involves taking a small sample of testicular tissue to assess sperm production, where clinically indicated.

Imaging Tests

Ultrasound or MRI may be advised to detect structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs.

Treatment Options

Treatment may include medication, surgery, or assisted reproductive techniques such as ICSI, depending on the cause and severity of male infertility.

Fertility Preservation Services

Fertility preservation may be considered by women, men, couples, or individuals who wish to delay childbearing or who are undergoing cancer treatment and want to plan for future family-building.

Fertility preservation services may include:

  • Oocyte vitrification
  • Embryo vitrification
  • Blastocyst vitrification
  • Sperm vitrification
  • Testicular sperm or tissue freezing
  • Ovarian cortex tissue cryopreservation

The suitability of fertility preservation depends on age, medical condition, treatment urgency, reproductive goals, ovarian or sperm parameters, and specialist advice.

Embryology Lab Services

Our embryology lab supports assisted reproductive treatments with careful handling, culture, monitoring, and preservation of eggs, sperm, and embryos.

IVF

IVF, or in vitro fertilisation, involves combining eggs and sperm outside the body to create embryos, which may then be transferred to the uterus.

ICSI

ICSI, or intracytoplasmic sperm injection, involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to support fertilisation. It may be considered in cases of severe male infertility or other clinical indications.

Embryo Culture and Monitoring

Embryos are cultured and monitored in a controlled environment before transfer, based on clinical and laboratory assessment.

Blastocyst Culture

Blastocyst culture involves growing embryos to the day 5 or day 6 stage before transfer or freezing, where suitable.

Embryo Freezing

Embryo freezing, or cryopreservation, allows embryos to be stored for future use.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Preimplantation genetic testing may be advised in selected cases to test embryos for specific genetic or chromosomal concerns before transfer.

Procedure and Support Services

Fertility treatment may involve multiple steps, appointments, investigations, procedures, counselling, and follow-up.

Our coordinators help guide patients through:

  • Appointment planning
  • Treatment estimates
  • Pre-procedure guidance
  • Documentation support
  • Procedure preparation
  • Follow-up scheduling
  • Communication between the patient and care team

This helps make the fertility treatment journey clearer and less stressful for patients and families.

Why Choose Sitaram Bhartia for Infertility & IVF?

Personalised Fertility Care

We take time to understand each patient’s medical history, fertility journey, emotional concerns, family support, and treatment goals before planning care.

We believe IVF should be recommended only when clinically appropriate. Many couples may benefit from simpler fertility treatment, ovulation support, cycle guidance, or correction of underlying causes before IVF is considered.

Infertility can involve female factors, male factors, or both. Our team supports comprehensive evaluation of both partners to understand the full fertility picture.

Andrology and Male Fertility Support

Our andrology services help assess and manage male fertility concerns through semen analysis, hormone testing, genetic testing, imaging, biopsy where required, and treatment options including ICSI where suitable.

Fertility Preservation Options

We provide fertility preservation support for women, men, couples, and individuals who wish to delay childbearing or need fertility planning before cancer treatment.

Embryology Lab Support

The embryology lab supports IVF, ICSI, embryo culture, blastocyst culture, embryo freezing, and preimplantation genetic testing where clinically indicated.

Ethical and Transparent Practice

We focus on informed decision-making, clear counselling, and avoiding unnecessary interventions so that patients understand their options before proceeding.

Dedicated Coordinators

Our coordinators guide patients through appointments, estimates, pre-procedure preparation, and follow-up steps, helping make the treatment process smoother.

Supportive and Sensitive Environment

Fertility treatment can be emotionally challenging. Our team aims to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and comfortable asking questions.
