Introduction
Infertility remains a profound emotional and medical challenge for countless couples worldwide. The advent of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has transformed the landscape of modern gynecology, offering a tangible pathway to parenthood. Among these innovations, in‑vitro fertilisation (IVF)—commonly referred to as “test‑tube baby” conception—has emerged as a cornerstone of successful treatment. At Dr. Kamlesh Tandon Hospital, our IVF Center, led by Dr. Amit Tandon, integrates cutting‑edge laboratory science with compassionate patient care to maximise outcomes while minimising discomfort.
Why Choose Dr. Amit Tandon for Your IVF Journey?
- Specialised Expertise
Dr. Amit Tandon holds a fellowship in reproductive medicine and has performed over 1,500 successful IVF cycles. His subspecialty training equips him to manage complex cases, including recurrent implantation failure, severe male factor infertility, and advanced maternal age. - State‑of‑the‑Art Infrastructure
The IVF suite at Dr. Kamlesh Tandon Hospital is equipped with the latest incubators featuring time‑lapse embryo monitoring, pre‑implantation genetic testing (PGT), and vitrification technology. These tools enhance embryo selection and cryopreservation, translating into higher clinical pregnancy rates. - Robotic Assistance for Surgical Precision
While IVF is primarily a laboratory‑based intervention, many patients require adjunctive surgical procedures—such as laparoscopic ovarian drilling or myomectomy—to optimise ovarian function. Dr. Tandon’s proficiency with the da Vinci® robotic system ensures minimally invasive surgery with reduced blood loss and faster recovery. - Holistic Patient‑Centred Care
Understanding that infertility is as emotional as it is physiological, our team provides psychological counselling, nutritional guidance, and personalized treatment protocols. Dr. Tandon’s communication style ensures that each couple is fully informed and actively involved in decision‑making. - Transparent Success Metrics
Our centre publishes quarterly outcome data that consistently exceed national averages. For women under 35, the clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer is 62 %, and for women aged 35–40, it remains at 48 %. These figures reflect the efficacy of our protocols and the dedication of our staff.
The IVF Process at Dr. Kamlesh Tandon Hospital
- Initial Consultation & Diagnostic Work‑up
A comprehensive evaluation includes hormonal profiling, hysterosalpingography, and semen analysis. Genetic counselling is offered when indicated. - Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation (COH)
Tailored gonadotropin regimens are administered under ultrasound guidance, with real‑time monitoring to optimise follicular development. - Oocyte Retrieval & Sperm Collection
Performed under mild sedation, the retrieval is a quick, painless procedure. Sperm is processed using density gradient centrifugation or advanced techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) when required. - Embryo Culture & Selection
Embryos are cultured in a low‑oxygen environment and assessed using time‑lapse imaging. PGT is available for couples with known genetic concerns. - Embryo Transfer
A gentle, ultrasound‑guided transfer is performed, typically on day 3 or day 5, depending on embryo quality. - Luteal Phase Support & Follow‑up
Progesterone supplementation is provided, and a pregnancy test is scheduled two weeks post‑transfer. Ongoing support is offered throughout the first trimester.
