In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) remains one of the most reliable fertility treatments available today. Eggs and sperm are combined outside the body in a laboratory setting, and the resulting embryo is transferred into the uterus to establish pregnancy.
IVF is usually recommended once simpler approaches — ovulation medication or IUI — haven’t led to a pregnancy, or when specific fertility factors call for it directly, including:
Every fertility journey is different — here are the situations where IVF tends to offer the clearest path forward.
Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis and severe ovulation disorders often respond well to IVF when other treatments haven’t worked.
When semen analysis shows significant abnormalities, IVF combined with ICSI allows fertilisation even with limited sperm quality.
For women past their late 30s or couples with unexplained infertility, IVF is often introduced earlier to improve the odds of success.
IVF is more than a medical procedure — it’s a carefully sequenced journey. Here’s what each cycle involves, from stimulation to transfer.
Fertility medications encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, with progress tracked through blood tests and ultrasounds over 8–14 days.
A short outpatient procedure under light sedation collects the mature eggs using a fine needle. Mild cramping afterward is normal.
Eggs are combined with sperm in the lab. Where needed, ICSI is used to inject a single sperm directly into an egg to improve fertilisation.
Embryos are monitored closely over 3–5 days, with the healthiest selected for transfer or, where appropriate, genetic testing.
One or more high-quality embryos are placed in the uterus using a thin catheter. Remaining embryos can be frozen for future cycles.
A Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist with over 10 years of experience and 2000+ IVF cycles managed, Dr. Ritu Anand combines evidence-based protocols with a warm, patient-first approach to every consultation.
Her expertise spans ovarian stimulation planning, ICSI, blastocyst culture and genetic screening — ensuring each treatment plan reflects the patient’s specific fertility profile rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

A typical cycle, from the start of medication to the pregnancy test, takes around 4–6 weeks. A frozen embryo transfer cycle can be shorter.
Every journey is different — some patients conceive on the first cycle, others need more. Your treatment plan is reviewed and adjusted after each cycle.
Age can influence success rates, but outcomes vary widely by individual. A consultation and fertility assessment will clarify realistic expectations for your situation.
