IVF Treatment

IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a cutting-edge assisted reproductive technique where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in a specialized facility, and then nurtured into embryos before being transferred to the woman’s uterus. This process optimizes the conditions for embryo development, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy. Couples facing various fertility challenges, from fallopian tube damage to sperm-related issues, can find hope in IVF treatments in India.

Who Should Consider IVF?

IVF is recommended for various situations, such as fallopian tube damage, ovulation disorders, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, poor egg quality, reduced fertility with aging, impaired sperm production, and genetic diseases. It’s also used for unexplained infertility where the cause is not easily determined.

IVF Treatment Procedure

1. Ovarian Stimulation: Hormone medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs.
2. Egg Retrieval: A minor surgical procedure retrieves mature eggs from the ovaries.
3. Sperm Collection: The male partner provides a semen sample, or sperm can be obtained from a donor.
4. Fertilization: Eggs and sperm are combined in the laboratory through conventional IVF or ICSI.
5. Embryo Development: Fertilized eggs develop into embryos under controlled conditions.
6. Embryo Transfer: Selected embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus using a thin catheter.
7. Pregnancy Test: About two weeks later, a pregnancy test determines the success of the procedure.

IVF Treatment Cost in India

The cost varies, typically ranging between ₹70,000 to ₹1,20,000. Components include consultation fees, medication, diagnostic tests, egg retrieval, sperm preparation, embryo development, embryo transfer, cryopreservation, and pregnancy test. Health insurance usually doesn’t cover IVF, but some policies may include diagnostic test coverage.

Success Rates of IVF Treatment

The success rate varies but is generally around 30-35%, increasing to about 40% for women under 35. Success depends on factors like age, duration of infertility, type and cause of infertility, and the quality of sperm, eggs, and embryos.
