“For couples struggling to conceive naturally, alternative methods of pregnancy offer several pathways to parenthood. Beyond traditional IVF (in-vitro fertilization), other options include intrauterine insemination (IUI), gamete donation, and surrogacy. Each of these methods can address different fertility challenges, offering hope to those who may not be able to conceive on their own.
“”There are multiple avenues available for couples facing fertility challenges,”” says Dr. Madhulika Singh, IVF Specialist, Birla Fertility and IVF Prayagraj. “”Whether it’s IUI, IVF, or surrogacy, each offers a unique path to parenthood. It’s important to explore these options with the guidance of a fertility specialist to determine what best fits your individual needs and medical condition. Every couple deserves the chance to experience the joy of becoming parents.””
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a less invasive and more affordable procedure than IVF. It involves placing sperm directly into the woman’s uterus to increase the chances of fertilization. This method is commonly used when male fertility issues or unexplained infertility are present. Gamete donation, such as egg or sperm donation, is another option for couples where one partner has fertility issues. This method is particularly helpful for individuals with genetic conditions or those who are older.
Surrogacy is an option for couples who are unable to carry a pregnancy to term due to medical conditions. In this arrangement, another woman carries the baby on behalf of the couple. Surrogacy is a complex process, both emotionally and legally, but it provides an invaluable option for those seeking to become parents.”
