چکیده
|
Approximately 10-15% of the married couples remain childless. conventional in vitro fertilisation (ivf) has been the treatment option for most of these cases. however, it is expensive and only available to a small fraction of the infertile population. the sindh institute of reproductive medicine (sirm), karachi, pakistan, has introduced a new method of ivf for the first time in pakistan. intravaginal culture (ivc) is a simple, reliable and cost-effective alternative to ivf. the procedure can be performed in an office set-up with minor capital equipment. here, we report a case of a subfertile woman treated by ivc, which resulted in successful fertilisation of the eggs (fertilisation rate 71.42%) and embryo development, with an intrauterine pregnancy. since this is the first successful case of ivc in pakistan, comparative success rate and take-home baby rate have yet to be established.
