For many couples dreaming of parenthood, infertility can be a tough journey. Thankfully, advancements in reproductive medicine offer a solution: In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). This revolutionary treatment provides a path to conception for those struggling to conceive naturally. At Yashoda Fertility and IVF Centre, we understand the deep desire to start a family. As a leading IVF treatment Centre, we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate, and cutting-edge IVF fertility treatments to help you achieve your dream.

What is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology in which an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body in a laboratory. Once fertilized, embryos are monitored and the best-quality embryos are transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy.

IVF may be recommended for several causes of infertility, including:

  • Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
  • Male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility)
  • Ovulation disorders
  • Endometriosis
  • Unexplained infertility

IVF treatment options

The core IVF process can be adapted with specialised techniques depending on clinical needs. Common options include:

  • Standard IVF: Ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilization and embryo transfer.
  • ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): A single sperm is injected into the egg—useful for male factor infertility.
  • Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): Previously frozen embryos are thawed and transferred in a later cycle.
  • Donor egg/sperm IVF: Use of donor gametes when indicated.
  • Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): Screening embryos for chromosomal or genetic conditions prior to transfer.
  • Assisted Hatching (AH): A small opening is made in the embryo's outer shell to assist implantation in selected cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

IVF stands for In Vitro Fertilization. It's a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) where eggs are surgically removed from a woman's ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryos are then transferred back into the woman's uterus to hopefully implant and result in a pregnancy.

IVF is an option for couples facing various infertility issues, such as blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility), endometriosis, unexplained infertility, or when other fertility treatments have been unsuccessful.

Generally, younger women have higher success rates. Research says- 32% for women under 35, 25% for women aged 35-37, 19% for women aged 38-39, 11% for women aged 40-42, 5% for women aged 43-44, 4% for women over 44 Other factors influencing success include the cause of infertility, embryo quality, the number of embryos transferred, and the clinic's experience and techniques.

The cost of IVF can vary considerably depending on the country, the clinic, and the specific treatments required. In India, the average cost of one IVF cycle can range from ₹80,000 to ₹2,50,000 but this can increase with additional procedures like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), genetic testing (PGT), or using donor eggs or sperm. Some insurance plans may cover part of the infertility treatment costs, but coverage varies widely depending on location and the insurance policy.

IVF involves several steps, including hormone stimulation and procedures like egg retrieval and embryo transfer, which can lead to side effects. Common side effects of fertility medications include: Bruising and soreness at the injection site, Hot flashes, Headaches, Nausea, Breast tenderness, Mood swings and fatigue, Abdominal bloating.

The complete IVF cycle normally takes up to 4 to 6 weeks to complete. This includes the time from the start of ovarian stimulation until the pregnancy test. Every case is unique , so the time required too!
