The Future of IVF Technology at Alhaya Fertility-Alhaya Fertility

In today’s fast-evolving landscape of assisted reproductive technology, Alhaya Fertility stands at the forefront by integrating some of the most refined and evidence-backed IVF technologies available. Whether you're just starting your fertility journey or seeking advanced solutions after previous challenges, understanding how IVF technology works is key to making informed choices.

From precise fertilisation techniques to AI-assisted embryo selection, here’s how Alhaya Fertility leverages IVF technology advancement to improve your chances of a successful pregnancy.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): Precision Fertilisation Through IVF Technology

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a technology in IVF that assists couples facing male-factor infertility or previous fertilisation failure. This technique involves the direct injection of a single healthy sperm into a mature egg using a fine microneedle, bypassing many natural barriers to fertilisation. At Alhaya Fertility, ICSI is routinely offered in cases where:
  • Sperm count or motility is low
  • Sperm morphology (shape) is poor
  • Fertilisation has previously failed with conventional IVF
With fertilisation rates of around 60–80%, ICSI increases the likelihood of developing viable embryos, even in complex fertility cases. This procedure is performed with high precision under a microscope by experienced embryologists using micromanipulation technology in a sterile environment.

PIEZO-ICSI: Advanced IVF Technology Advancement for Egg Safety

As a further innovation on traditional ICSI, PIEZO-ICSI is a refined technique that uses a piezoelectric pulse to penetrate the egg membrane, rather than applying mechanical force. This advancement significantly reduces trauma to the egg and improves overall embryo development potential. This IVF technology advancement is especially beneficial for:
  • Older women with fragile egg membranes
  • Eggs that previously failed to fertilise through standard ICSI
  • Improving blastocyst development rates in poor responders
Alhaya Fertility incorporates PIEZO-ICSI into tailored treatment plans when the clinical indication supports its use, ensuring patients receive the most suitable and gentle fertilisation method for optimal results.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Embryo Selection

Embryo selection has traditionally been guided by morphological grading and embryologist experience. While these methods remain valuable, AI-enhanced embryo selection brings a new level of objectivity and consistency into the decision-making process. At Alhaya Fertility, we use AI-driven time-lapse imaging and deep learning algorithms to:
  • Track embryo development in real time
  • Identify subtle patterns undetectable to the human eye
  • Score embryos based on their implantation potential
This use of IVF technology allows for better-informed embryo transfer decisions, especially in cases where multiple embryos appear similar in quality. The AI-assisted approach increases implantation success while reducing the chances of multiple pregnancies and unsuccessful cycles.

Cryopreservation with Vitrification: Preserving Fertility Potential Through IVF Technology

Freezing eggs and embryos is an integral part of many IVF journeys, and vitrification is now the gold standard in cryopreservation. Unlike older slow-freezing methods, vitrification rapidly cools reproductive cells to prevent the formation of damaging ice crystals. Alhaya Fertility uses vitrification to provide:
  • High survival rates upon thawing
  • Safer egg preservation for women delaying pregnancy
  • Flexible planning for elective single embryo transfer (eSET)
This IVF technology advancement is particularly useful for:
  • Women undergoing fertility preservation before cancer treatment
  • Couples wanting to delay parenthood for personal or professional reasons
  • Patients with surplus high-quality embryos in an IVF cycle
Vitrified eggs and embryos retain their structural integrity and developmental potential, giving patients more control over their reproductive timeline without compromising success.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): Genetic Insight for Healthier Outcomes

For those concerned about genetic conditions or recurrent IVF failure, Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) offers peace of mind and better outcomes. PGT screens embryos for chromosomal normalcy before they are transferred into the uterus, allowing only genetically healthy embryos to be selected. Alhaya Fertility offers PGT in conjunction with IVF to:
  • Detect aneuploidies (abnormal chromosome numbers)
  • Reduce the risk of miscarriage and implantation failure
  • Avoid the transfer of embryos with known genetic conditions
This level of diagnostic precision is especially recommended for:
  • Women over 35
  • Couples with a history of genetic disorders
  • Previous IVF failures or repeated miscarriages
The integration of PGT into IVF protocols represents one of the most impactful IVF technology advancements, directly improving clinical pregnancy rates and live birth outcomes.

IVF Technology Options Available at Alhaya Fertility

At Alhaya Fertility, a range of technologies is incorporated into IVF treatment protocols based on medical indications and patient-specific needs. These include both established and newer advancements that support fertilisation, embryo selection, preservation, and genetic screening. Available IVF technology options include:
  • Conventional ICSI and refined approaches such as PIEZO-ICSI
  • AI-supported embryo assessment systems
  • Vitrification for cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos
  • Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) for chromosomal evaluation
Treatment protocols are determined in consultation with fertility specialists, based on individual clinical factors and reproductive goals.
