Purpose: This descriptive study was conducted to identify the factors causing stress in women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Materials and methods: The study sample consisted of 151 women who were receiving IVF therapy in the assisted reproductive techniques units of three state hospitals in Istanbul. The study data were collected using a Questionnaire and a Distress/Problem Identification form both developed by the investigators. Results: A considerable percentage of the women whose income was less than their expenses stated that they feared their infertility treatment would be a failure. The majority of the women who gave the answer “the cause is not known” or “me” when they are asked “who is responsible for not being able to have a child” stated that they were annoyed when people asked questions about having children and felt strained and uneasy on the days of coming to the center. Conclusions: We suggest that trainings should be planned for health teams and health teams should establish support groups and organize meetings for couples

Worldwide, about 200 million couples are infertile. Almost 15 per cent of them require ART and IVF treatments. Couples who are unable to conceive even after years of trying could use procedure called Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) to get pregnant. These includes Intrauterine Insemination, In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Spern / Egg donation, and Gestational Carriers called “Surrogacy”. People join for Surrogacy when they want to have their genes in the child but can not make it happen in natural course. There are two types of Surrogacy: (1) The man’s sperm and the woman’s ova is injected in the uterus of the surrogate mother who rents out her womb for the child, (2) If the Egg of the mother is not good enough to produce a baby, an Egg is then rented out by donor mother. A tripartite agreement is duly signed according to the terms and conditions prevalent at that time. This Editorial viewed Surrogacy Industry through the lens of intent, efficacy, and its purview.

In vitro fertilization involves many issues that need to be regulated by law. The main one is the status of the embryo and arising from it other concerns such as cryoconservation of embryos, assisted reproductive techniques, gamete donation, surrogacy, or preimplantation diagnosis. This paper surveys the legal regulation of in vitro fertilization at different levels of the law systems, from international standards, through regional regulations, to the national law.

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a dramatic life threatening event in a woman’s reproductive life, especially after a long, expensive and difficult course of treatment for infertility. EP accounts around 1–2% of all natural conceptions, and this prevalence increases following assisted reproductive techniques, to range between 2.1% and 8.6% and it can reach up to 11% in women with tubal factors infertility history. A 32 year old female, primigravida presented at emergency department of Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad with complaints of amenorrhoea 2 months, severe pain abdomen associated with vomiting, difficulty in breathing and bleeding per vagina on and off. She was a case of primary infertility with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who had conceived after difficulty with in vitro fertilization (IVF), resulted in ruptured right tubal ectopic pregnancy. She underwent exploratory laparotomy followed by removal of right ectopic pregnancy, right salpingectomy and peritoneal lavage. Early diagnosis, timely intervention and prompt surgical management could save the patient’s life. Later on she conceived spontaneously and had an eventful and complicated pregnancy. She presented at 35 weeks of pregnancy with preterm labour pain and underwent emergency caesarean section for fetal distress. She delivered a healthy male child and had a successful obstetric outcome. Diagnosis of ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy is made based on patient’s history, clinical acumen, serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels and pelvic ultrasound. Ectopic pregnancy should be suspected in patients with an adnexal mass even in absence of risk factors. Clinicians must be alert to the fact that assisted reproductive techniques as a treatment for infertility can result into ectopic pregnancy. This case highlights the fact that patient who underwent IVF treatment resulting in ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy can have spontaneous conception and a successful obstetric outcome.

Work Up

Anamnesis, physical examination, and additional tests may reveal a specific cause of reproductive failure in infertile men. Whenever this is found, a specific treatment or cure should be applied. When no such treatment is available, or when specific treatment has failed, techniques of assisted reproduction may be proposed to couples suffering from long-standing male infertility. The rationale behind these is to bring the spermatozoa closer to the oocyte in an attempt to enhance the fertilization process. In recent years the role of assisted reproduction has become more important, and it has often been stated that these techniques have made clinical work-up or specific treatment of the male partner pointless. However, this is far from true. Not only may correction of a specific dysfunction in the male avoid the use of assisted reproductive techniques, but careful work-up and treatment may also enhance the outcome of these treatments. Assisted reproductive techniques should not be viewed as a primary treatment option, but rather as a complementary treatment when other treatments have failed, or have been judged inadequate after a complete work-up.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has emerged as one of the most popular byproduct of Assistant Reproductive Technology (ART) in our time. It has proven attractive to people across the globe for variety of reasons including infertility treatment and pre-natal sex selection. People of various cultures have reacted to its use in line with their own code of morality and religious values on human procreation, sexual purity and lineage exactitude. In the case of Muslims, its application for overcoming infertility has received general juridical approval with minimum number of caveats. A cursory of the existing fatwas, however reveals that the juristic deliberation on the implications of IVF in terms of destroying the excess embryos generated in the process is scanty. Accordingly, this study argues that if we equate legitimate use of IVF with natural way of human reproduction, then the ethicality of its casualties in terms of surplus embryo destruction should not be trivialized.

Background: In-vitro fertilization or Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) is the most advanced technique of infertility treatment. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) has helped couples all over the world. However, the use of IVF has raised significant concern about the outcome of resulting pregnancies and the health of the newborns. There is a range of possible factors associated with the treatment that may contribute to potential adverse outcomes. Thus, the study was conducted to analyze the neonatal outcomes of children born by ART in the Indian context.Methods: The neonatal characteristics and complications of the live-born infants through IVF at Army Hospital R and R were analyzed in this study between March 2019 to February 2020.Results: Total 231 babies were born to the study group cases. 126 (54.54%) were singletons, 102 (44.16%) were of twin pregnancies and 1.3% were triplets. There were 65.36% term and 34.63% preterm. Of the 231 IVF neonates, 58 needed neonatal intensive care. There were 219 (94.8%) survivors, while 12 (5.2%) did not survive a week. The 16 (6.92%) survivors needed readmissions mainly due to hyperbilirubinemia. There were 106 (45.8%) babies whose weight was less than 2 kg.Conclusions: Infertility cases are usually older, and this is one reason for increased pregnancy and newborn infant complications. Neonates born through IVF appeared to be at higher risk of multiple births, prematurity, low birth weight, and other disabilities.
