What Is IVF Treatment?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology where an egg and sperm are fertilized in a laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the woman’s uterus to achieve pregnancy.
IVF is recommended when natural conception or simpler treatments like medicines or IUI are not successful.
Who Can Benefit From IVF?
IVF treatment may be advised for:
- Women with blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- PCOS or ovulation disorders
- Endometriosis
- Low sperm count or male infertility issues
- Unexplained infertility
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Couples with long-standing infertility
At Vardaan Women’s Hospital, every couple receives personalized fertility evaluation before recommending IVF.
Step-by-Step IVF Process
Initial Consultation & Fertility Assessment
The journey begins with a detailed consultation, medical history review, blood tests, ultrasounds, and semen analysis to design a customized treatment plan.
Ovarian Stimulation
Hormonal medications are given to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This phase is closely monitored through scans and blood tests.
Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs are mature, they are collected using a minimally invasive procedure under anesthesia.
Fertilization in the Lab
The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in a specialized IVF laboratory. The embryos are monitored for healthy development.
Embryo Transfer
A healthy embryo is gently transferred into the uterus. This is a painless procedure that does not require anesthesia.
Pregnancy Test
After about 12–14 days, a blood test confirms whether pregnancy has occurred.
