Complications In Ivf Patient Aged 32 With A History Of Covid 19: A Case Study At Wardha Test Tube Baby Centre

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: This case study speaks about a 32 years infertile woman who visited WARDHA TEST TUBE BABY CENTRE with her husband (37years) for her treatment associated with infertility. In early 2018 they initiated their IVF/ART-related proceedings. The couple was recommended for IVF/ART procedure; as a result, four frozen embryo transfers were done. After the third frozen embryo transfer, the pregnancy happened, and a male baby was delivered who died on the Day3 of his life. As a repercussion fourth frozen embryo transfer happened, and pregnancy occurred, but on the 32nd week of the pregnancy, the female got infected with COVID-19, yet she delivered a male baby after pregnancy which didn’t survive. These two deaths of their babies caused tremendous psychological trauma to the couple and can cause serious health issues.

SYMPTOMS: The couple was suffering from Primary infertility. The female partner has a history of irregular fallopian tubes, tuberculosis and peritubular adhesions, and a left-sided complex ovarian cyst. In addition to that, COVID-19 positive status during her pregnancy was raised as well. The male partner was found positive for the HBsAg test.

DIAGNOSIS, THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: Due to a prolonged stretch of infertility, the couple was advised to take up the treatment using the IVF/ART procedures. Four frozen embryo transfers were completed. After the 3rd and 4th frozen embryo transfers, pregnancy took place, and two male babies were conceived, respectively. Both the babies didn’t survive following the delivery.

CONCLUSION: After the completion of the 3rd and 4th frozen embryo transfers, two neonatal deaths have happened. During the course of pregnancy, after the 4th FET, women got infected with COVID-19 which possibly caused the unprosperous upshot.
