In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a technique where a woman’s eggs and man’s sperm are combined in a special laboratory. The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman’s ovulatory process, removing eggs from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them Culture Media in a laboratory. After the fertilized egg undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, it is implanted in the woman’s uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy. The whole process of collecting eggs and sperms, fertilizing, incubation and embryo transfer is done in the laboratory in the supervision of trained medical personnel. Then after 14 days, the pregnancy test is done to confirm the pregnancy. This medical paragon has created thousands of families at Ashoka Advanced IVF, fulfilling the dreams of countless hopeful couples.

Steps of In Vitro Fertilization
1. Egg Collection-
Egg collection is a simple, painless procedure that usually lasts only half an hour. During this process, the eggs produced by mature follicles are retrieved with the help of a scan probe. Although the procedure doesn’t hurt, it may make you slightly uneasy, that is why it is performed under anaesthesia. The same-day routine typically requires admission of 3-4 hours
2. Fertilization -
Once we have collected an array of eggs and sperm from you and your partner, we carefully fuse them together to create several embryos. You may be recommended additional technologies, such as pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS), pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), Intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI)to help improve the quality of the resultant embryos. Alternatively, you may be advised a simple IVF procedure
3. Embryo Development -
During the fertilization phase, we would have ensured that we created several embryos, which can now be graded for quality by their appearance and integrity.
4. Embryo Transfer -
The resulting embryos are shifted into the uterus of the woman
5. Pregnancy -
Two weeks after your embryo transfer, we will invite you in for a pregnancy test to check whether the procedure has been successful. Then, once you’re six weeks into your pregnancy, we’ll perform an ultrasound scan to check for a heartbeat.
6. Follow-Ups -
If your IVF cycle has been successful, we recommend regular followups, to rule out potential complications. Sometimes, IVF cycles that don’t bear fruit can stir up a torrent of emotions in couples. We seek to connect with couples that may have experienced unsuccessful IVF cycles, through individual counseling sessions. These complimentary consultations offer relief and support in the face of grief and present a range of alternative fertility options that can be pursued.
What are the chances of success
This depends on various factors like:
- Age of the patient
- Type and duration of infertility
- Ovarian response
- Type of procedure [ fresh or vitrified embryo transfer, self or donor eggs ]
After proper evaluation prognosis and chances of success can be ascertained. While there is no guarantee, we do our best to maximize your chance to find happiness.
