Gestational surrogacy, full surrogacy or IVF surrogacy is defined as treatment by which the gametes of the genetic couple, commissioning couple or intended parents in a surrogacy arrangement are used to produce embryos that are subsequently transferred to a woman who agrees to act as a host for these embryos. The surrogate host is therefore genetically unrelated to any offspring that may be born as a result of this arrangement.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is the least invasive, effective, relatively simple, cheap, first line assisted conception treatment method for infertility couples wherein the washed semen with good sperm quality are inseminated into the uterine cavity of the female partner at the time of ovulation. The goal is to place as many active, well- formed sperms as close to the ovulated eggs as possible, thereby increasing their chances of Fertilization.

What is IVF? It is micromanipulation technique used in the process of IVF which involves injection a single sperm into the centre of mature oocyte under the microscope. Indications of IVF Tubal disease:- Tubal blocks, Rigid, Oedematous, Convoluted Tubes, Hydrosulpine, Oligo-astheno-zoospermic Diminished ovarian reserve Stage III & IV Endometriosis Multiple IUI Oocyte donates/ Embryo donation Obstructive/Non-obstructive azoospermia Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis Indications of ICSI Indications of ICSI have now widely been expanded. In some indications, the sperms are collected from testes, while in others the sperm collection is done from ejaculated semen. Accordingly indications may be classified depending on the method of collection of spermatozoa.
