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.
