CRAFT registered an amazing success with
a clinical pregnancy rate of 45.7% in 2002-2004. When compared to
ART Registry of USA for 2002, the clinical pregnancy rate quoted
is 34.8% for fresh nondonor embryos (CDC Reproductive Health 2002).
What makes this so special is that it's CRAFT's policy not to use
donor gametes or embryos. With a proven track record of providing
specialised medical services for the treatment to infertility patients
using assisted reproductive techniques, CRAFT is India's first ISO
9001:2000 Fertility Centre. This success rate acknowledges our philosophy
- 'honesty pays in the long run'.

ICSI Programme
Kerala's First
Frozen Embryo Kids
Mrs. Sameera Ansary, a native of Cochin aged 35 years desiring conception
for the past 10 years gave birth to twin babies on the 24th of November
2004 at 11 AM at the Centre for Research in Assisted Reproduction
and Foetal Therapy (CRAFT), K.J Hospital Complex, Kodungallur. The
male and female babies born weighing 1.7 kgms and
2 kgms hold the distinction of being Kerala’s first Frozen-thaw
embryo transfer (FET) delivery. Both the babies are fine after delivery.
The mother required caesarian section during delivery for obstetric
reasons.
Mrs. Sameera Ansary underwent her first ICSI (Intra cytoplasmic
sperm injection) cycle in February 2004. She had spare embryos,
which were frozen and stored at CRAFT. Her first attempt by ICSI
did not yield a positive result. At CRAFT we usually transfer a
maximum of 4 embryos per patient. In case of couples having extra
good quality embryos these can be frozen in Liquid Nitrogen at –196
degree Celsius for subsequent use. This avoids unnecessary wastage
of embryos nor there arises the need for donating patient’s
own embryos. This FET cycle will not require expensive hormonal
injection or specialized procedures like ICSI again in the frozen
embryo transfer cycle.
A remarkable achievement we had was a clinical pregnancy in one
patient Mrs. XY 43 yrs who had Previous 10 Unsuccessful attempts
of ICSI from various centers including UK, UAE, Mumbai etc had a
successful pregnancy from here after HLT [Husband's lymphocyte transfer]
therapy for Immune Infertility and followed by ICSI.
In the last 2 weeks
of March 2004 we had 18 babies born to 13 couples who had IVF -
ICSI in July 2003 giving a delivery rate of 44%. In this month we
had 28 cases for ART and 15 of them conceived. One had abortion
at 7 weeks & another had ectopic. The rest 13 went for term
delivery.
