How normal pregnancy happens explained by infertility specialist in Delhi, Ridge IVF Center Delhi.

Pregnancy happens in female’s genital organ during menstruation (day 1). There are 5-8 eggs in each ovary. During menstruation eggs try to grow in ovary but only one egg gets dominate during 5^th-6^th day and it keeps on growing and travels to tube. In normal pregnancy egg ruptures on 14^th day and despatch from ovary and (a tube in female reproductive organ). During this period if partner has any contact then he releases million of sperms and one sperm go and meet that egg and fertilization happens in fallopian tube.

Initial life of embryo after fertilization starts in tube. It stays in tube for 2 days and has no attachment with mother. It gets nutrition from tube fluid. On 3^rd day egg jumps into uterus and gets modified and attached to mother. “Uterus grows as baby grows.”

After 9 months female gets pain in uterus also called “labor pain” and delivery happens either through vaginal area called Normal Delivery or by abdominal route by surgical means.

Male and female infertility explained by infertility specialist.

Male and Female infertility explained by Dr. Sarabjeet , Infertility Specialist, Ridge IVF Centre, Delhi. While explaining infertility to male and female firstly, we examine both of them. We take their detailed history, for female we do basic hormonal investigation, ultrasound and some basic test. Then we test where problem is and then try to rectify it and ask them to try naturally, if it happens then its fine otherwise we suggest them for artificial method like IUI, IVF etc.

Explaining about these techniques is not very difficult as awareness has increased a lot about the same. People prefer to go to infertility specialist rather than going to a gyane. Earlier this was a general trend going to gynaecology for any problem but this has changed now. There are so many fertility centres available and people are aware for the same, so they prefer to go there for any kind of consultation.

People think that if they are opting for any artificial technique there are 100% chances to conceive but this a biggest myth. IVF or any other artificial technique just gives 40% chances to conceive. In case of failure it’s not that we can’t try again we do try again.

What is patient's conception about infertility and how you treat them?

 Dr. Sarabjeet, Infertility Specialist at Ridge IVF and Infertility Centres, Delhi answers: About conception I would rather say its a misconception, couples think that the moment when they start trying for pregnancy it must happen. But chances of getting pregnant in first month (if both male and female are normal) are just 5-7%. They think the other one has conceived in first month why am I taking so much time? They must understand that this completely depends on chances. Today we are moving towards developing sector so our initial plans are like to have a 2BHK, Car etc. Due to this, planning for a family is taking a door. After this, when they (a couple) start trying, it takes few months or even a year to conceive.

About treating patients we treat them as unit. First we ask their basic history, how their sexual life is going after getting all personal details we come to medical part. If a couple has been trying for one year and they are unable to conceive, then we check them for various infertility problems.

Infertility may be due to either male or female (hindi) : Dr. Shobha at Ridge IVF & Fertility Center, Noida.

The main symptom of infertility is not getting pregnant. You may not have or notice any other symptoms.

Pregnancy is the fertilization and development of one or more offspring, known as an embryo or fetus, in a woman's uterus. It is the common name for gestation in humans. A multiple pregnancy involves more than one embryo or fetus in a single pregnancy, such as with twins. Childbirth usually occurs about 38 weeks after conception; in women who have a menstrual cycle length of four weeks, this is approximately 40 weeks from the start of the last normal menstrual period (LNMP).
