International Patient Stories

Case of primary infertility with adenomyotic uterus, thin endometrium, and severe oligoasthenospermia with high FSH in male partner (10 IVF cycles failed outside)

NRI couple having infertility of 9 years came to us at Sunflower Infertility & IVF Center with multiple problems. Lady was having strong PCOS, grossly adenomyotic uterus with thin endometrium. Her husband was having severe Oligoasthenospermia with very high FSH. They had history of 10 cycles of IVF failed outside in different centers. Long with these problems, couple was also terribly depressed. After history and reassessment of wife and husband, medical and social counseling, we put them on medication to improve sperm count (for husband). Then couple was planned for IVF cycle with own eggs and own sperm. ICSI was done and good numbers of embryos were formed and all were cryopreserved.

Despite lack of time (since they were on limited period visa), decision for freezing all embryos was taken. Subsequently treatment for adenomyotic uterus and thin endometrium was done. Medicine and scratch therapy was given to improve endometrium. Later, she was taken up for frozen thaw embryo transfer and two day 5 embryos were transferred. She conceived in first cycle. At present healthy single pregnancy is going on. Couple is very happy, for them it was a miracle
