Treatment

IVF

In vitro fertilisation is the most widely used fertility treatment. It helps when the tubes are blocked, when other treatments haven't worked, or when the cause of infertility isn't clear.

What is IVF?

IVF, or in vitro fertilisation, means “fertilisation outside the body”. Eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. One healthy embryo is then placed back in the uterus to grow.

IVF has helped millions of families around the world. It’s the right first step for some people. For others, it makes sense after simpler treatments have been tried.

Is IVF right for me?

Not everyone who struggles to conceive needs IVF. Before recommending it, Dr. Nimisha looks at both partners’ test results, your age, your medical history and anything you’ve already tried. Sometimes a simpler option such as ovulation medicine or IUI is the better place to start.

If IVF is recommended, you’ll know why, what the plan looks like and what it’s likely to cost before you begin.

Making treatment gentler

Every stimulation plan is tailored to you. The aim is to grow good-quality eggs while keeping you as comfortable as possible and reducing risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation. You’ll have a direct way to reach the team throughout your cycle, so questions don’t have to wait.

What to expect

The process, step by step

  1. 01

    Ovarian stimulation

    Daily hormone injections for about 10–12 days help several eggs mature at once. We track progress with scans and blood tests.

  2. 02

    Egg collection

    A short procedure under light anaesthesia. The eggs are collected through the vagina using a fine needle guided by ultrasound. Most women go home the same day.

  3. 03

    Fertilisation & embryo culture

    In the lab, the eggs are fertilised with sperm and the embryos are grown for 3 to 5 days while the embryologist watches their development.

  4. 04

    Embryo transfer

    A healthy embryo is placed in the uterus through a thin, soft tube. It feels much like a routine smear test. Good-quality embryos left over can be frozen.

  5. 05

    Pregnancy test

    A blood test about two weeks after the transfer tells us whether the treatment has worked.

Questions

About IVF

How many IVF cycles will I need?

It differs from person to person. Age, egg reserve and embryo quality all play a part. Many people conceive in the first or second cycle, but some need more. We'll give you an honest view once we've seen your test results.

Is IVF painful?

Most people find it very manageable. The injections use fine needles, and egg collection is done under anaesthesia. Some bloating and mild cramping afterwards is common and settles in a few days.

Can I keep working during IVF?

Yes, most people do. You'll need some flexibility for monitoring visits, and it's best to take the day of egg collection off.
