In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a groundbreaking assisted reproductive technology that has transformed the lives of countless couples struggling with infertility. At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, we specialize in providing advanced IVF treatment with personalized care to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood.

What is IVF?

IVF, or in vitro fertilization, involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body in a specialized laboratory. Once the embryo develops, it is transferred into the woman’s uterus for implantation and subsequent pregnancy.

Who Needs IVF Treatment?

IVF is an effective solution for individuals and couples facing a variety of fertility challenges, such as:

• Female Factor Infertility: Blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or ovulatory disorders.
• Male Factor Infertility: Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology.
• Unexplained Infertility: When no specific cause is identified.
• Age-Related Infertility: Declining fertility in women over 35.
• Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Difficulty maintaining pregnancies.
• Genetic Disorders: To prevent passing on genetic conditions through preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).
• Same-Sex Couples or Single Parents: Using donor sperm or eggs for conception.

Steps in the IVF Process

At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, we follow a structured approach to maximize the chances of success:

1. Initial Consultation
   • A detailed review of medical history and previous treatments.
   • Diagnostic tests, including hormone analysis, ultrasound, and semen analysis.
2. Ovarian Stimulation
   • Fertility medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
   • Regular monitoring through ultrasounds and blood tests to track follicle growth.
3. Egg Retrieval
   • Mature eggs are collected using a minimally invasive procedure under sedation.
4. Fertilization
   • Collected eggs are fertilized with sperm in the lab using conventional IVF or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) for male factor infertility.
5. Embryo Culture
   • Fertilized eggs develop into embryos over a few days in a controlled environment.
6. Embryo Transfer
   • A healthy embryo is transferred into the woman’s uterus using a thin catheter.
   • Remaining viable embryos may be frozen for future use.
7. Pregnancy Test
   • A blood test two weeks after embryo transfer determines the success of implantation.

The success of IVF depends on various factors, including:

• Age of the woman.
• Quality of eggs, sperm, and embryos.
• The expertise of the fertility clinic.
