IVF is a fertility treatment where eggs and sperm are combined in a lab to form an embryo, which is then placed into the uterus. It helps couples with infertility, blocked tubes, PCOS, low sperm count or unexplained issues.
One full IVF cycle usually takes 4–6 weeks, including hormone stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo formation, and transfer.
Most steps are not painful. Egg retrieval is done under sedation. Mild cramping or discomfort may occur but resolves quickly.
Usually 1–2 embryos are transferred depending on age, embryo quality, and medical history to improve success and safety.
Healthy additional embryos can be frozen and safely stored for future pregnancy planning.
IVF may be recommended for women with blocked tubes, PCOS, endometriosis, low egg reserve, unexplained infertility, or for couples with male-factor infertility.
Women under 35 have the best success rates, but IVF can still work for women up to 42 depending on egg reserve and overall health.
Egg freezing preserves fertility by storing healthy eggs for future use. Ideal for women delaying pregnancy, undergoing medical treatments, or wanting reproductive security.
Frozen embryos and eggs can be safely stored for many years without losing quality, depending on lab conditions and guidelines.
Yes, vitrification technology keeps embryos safe and stable, with high survival rates when thawed for future pregnancy.
Patients should avoid heavy lifting, stress, intense exercise, and long travel. Light activity and calm routine are recommended after transfer.
A blood test (beta hCG) is done after 12–14 days of embryo transfer to confirm pregnancy.
Mild bloating, cramps, breast tenderness, or mood changes may occur due to hormones and usually improve within days.
Success depends on age, embryo quality, egg reserve, sperm health, and overall medical condition. Younger women usually have higher success rates.
If a cycle fails, the doctor reviews embryo quality, hormone levels, and medical history to suggest the next steps, which may include another attempt or adjusted treatment.
