Abstract

Assisted reproductive techniques are becoming more and more essential for human life in the Society. Worldwide more than 5 million babies were born out of this technology after the birth of first baby Louis Brown and second Durga (India) in 1978. It is a boon for the couple in despair to have a child especially when it is provided by Govt Institutions for the less affordable people of the Society. It is essential to share provider’s experiences and expectations of the public in a fast growing biomedical field like ART. The techniques of IVF and ICSI have undergone a sea change since the initial technique of natural cycles to ovarian hyper stimulation and stem cell research. A 29 year old lady, Type I Diabetic with hirsutism, PCOS, failed IUI underwent ICSI following ovarian stimulation employing antagonist protocol after 8 years of married life. The husband is also diabetic for 13 years and suffered from post-polio residual paralysis and had asthenospermia. Frozen Embryo transfer of cleavage stage embryos was done on 31.7.2019 after endometrial preparation employing HRT.
