Fertility and IVF questions

Not every couple does. After tests for both partners, many are helped by medicines to time ovulation or by IUI. IVF is usually advised when the tubes are blocked, sperm counts are very low, egg reserve is low, or simpler treatment has not worked.

In IUI, washed sperm is placed in the uterus and fertilisation happens naturally inside the body. In IVF, eggs are collected and mixed with sperm in the lab. ICSI is a type of IVF where one sperm is injected into each egg, used mainly for male-factor infertility.

About four to six weeks from the first injection to the pregnancy test. Stimulation takes 8 to 12 days, egg collection follows, embryos grow in the lab for up to five days, and the pregnancy test is done about 11 days after transfer.

It is best if you can, because fertility involves both partners and many tests can be done on the same day. If one partner cannot come, the visit can still go ahead.

Usually not. A few blood tests, such as fasting blood sugar, need fasting. If yours do, we will tell you when you book.

It depends on your plan: the medicine dose you need, whether ICSI or blastocyst culture is used, embryo freezing, and how many transfers you need. After your consultation and tests we explain your package and its cost before you begin.

Yes. ICSI adds a laboratory step in which the embryologist injects a sperm into each egg, so it costs more than standard IVF.

The dose depends on age, egg reserve and how the ovaries respond. Two women on the same protocol can need quite different amounts.

Usually, yes. A frozen transfer does not need stimulation or egg collection, only preparation of the lining, thawing and the transfer.

Most policies do not, though this is changing slowly. Check your own policy with your insurer.

Some couples conceive in the first cycle and others need more than one. Your chances per cycle depend mostly on the woman's age and egg reserve, and your doctor will discuss them with you.

Our IVF success rates are consistently high and comparable with international standards. Success depends on several factors including age, medical history, and fertility issues. For women under 35, the success rate can be over 60% per cycle.

IVF involves minor discomfort, especially during egg retrieval which is done under sedation. Most patients describe the procedure as manageable with minimal pain.

A single IVF cycle typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks, from the start of ovarian stimulation to the embryo transfer and pregnancy test.

Some women may experience bloating, mild cramping, mood swings, or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), though serious risks are rare. Our specialists monitor your health closely to ensure safety.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced fertility procedure where a single healthy sperm is injected directly into a mature egg to achieve fertilization. ICSI Treatment in Jaipur is mainly used in male infertility cases such as low sperm count, poor motility, or failed IVF fertilization.

ICSI Treatment in Jaipur is recommended for couples facing male infertility, very low sperm count, poor sperm movement, abnormal sperm shape, obstructive azoospermia, previous IVF failure, or when using frozen or surgically retrieved sperm.

The success rate of ICSI Treatment in Jaipur depends on factors like female age, egg quality, sperm quality, and overall fertility health. ICSI generally improves fertilization rates and increases pregnancy chances, especially in male infertility cases.

Yes, ICSI Treatment in Jaipur is a safe and advanced fertility procedure when performed by experienced embryologists. Risks are minimal and similar to IVF, though success depends on individual fertility conditions.

Yes, it allows selection of stronger embryos with higher implantation potential, increasing the chances of pregnancy.

Studies show significantly higher pregnancy and live birth rates with blastocyst transfers compared to Day 3 transfers.

Not always. It is most beneficial for patients with multiple good-quality embryos on Day 3. Patients with fewer embryos may not benefit as much.

Yes, because embryos are more developed and healthier, the chances of successful implantation and sustained pregnancy are higher.

Yes, LAH is considered safe when performed by experienced embryologists using controlled laser pulses. It avoids physical touching or chemical exposure.

While it increases the chances of implantation, especially in selected patients, it does not guarantee pregnancy. It is a supportive technique.

No. LAH is used in specific cases based on patient history, embryo quality, and the doctor’s recommendation.

No studies have shown any negative impact on the health of babies born through LAH. It’s a safe technique used worldwide in IVF labs.

When performed correctly, embryo biopsy does not harm embryo development or the baby. It is a well-established procedure worldwide.

No. The procedure is done in the lab on embryos and does not involve any physical discomfort for the patient.

Genetic testing usually takes 15 days. Embryo transfer is done in the next cycle after reviewing results.

Embryos with significant abnormalities are usually not recommended for transfer. However, decisions can be made based on the type and severity of the issue.

For many women it is similar, and in some situations, such as a strong ovarian response, it may be better. Success depends mostly on the age at which the eggs were collected and the quality of the embryo.

Vitrified embryos remain stable for many years. Storage is renewed periodically, and the law in India sets rules on storage periods and consent.

Most vitrified blastocysts survive thawing. Embryos are thawed on the morning of the transfer, and the embryologist confirms survival before it goes ahead.

No. It is similar to a smear test, takes a few minutes and does not need anaesthesia.

A blood beta hCG test about 9 to 11 days after a blastocyst transfer. Home urine tests done earlier can be misleading.

Yes. It is regulated by the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021. Donors must meet legal criteria, remain anonymous and are sourced through registered ART banks.

With donor eggs, the baby is genetically related to the father, and the mother carries and gives birth to the baby. With donor sperm, the baby is genetically related to the mother.

No. Under Indian law the donor's identity is kept confidential. You receive information on characteristics such as blood group, height and complexion.

Yes. We encourage couples to take time and talk through the emotional and practical sides of donation before deciding.

For most couples: an ultrasound and AMH test for the woman, a semen analysis for the man, and a test of the fallopian tubes. These three answer the main questions about eggs, sperm and the route between them.

AMH falls naturally with age, so a normal level depends on how old you are. A low AMH means fewer eggs remain but does not mean you cannot conceive. Your doctor interprets it with your age and ultrasound.

Most women feel period-like cramps for a few minutes. Taking a painkiller beforehand helps, and you can go home soon after.

Often, yes. The semen analysis, blood tests and ultrasound can usually be arranged on one visit, with the tubal test planned for the right day of the cycle.

Bring them. Recent, reliable results usually do not need repeating, which saves time and money.

No. Ovulation induction helps your body release an egg inside the body, and fertilisation happens naturally or with IUI. In IVF, eggs are collected and fertilised in the laboratory.

Many women conceive within a few ovulatory cycles. If pregnancy has not happened after several cycles in which you did ovulate, your doctor will review the plan and may suggest IUI or IVF.

Most women have few side effects. Some notice hot flushes, headaches or mood changes. The main risk is more than one egg being released, which is why cycles are monitored by ultrasound.

Scans show whether and when you ovulate and how many follicles are growing. They make treatment more effective and safer.

No, IUI is a painless and quick procedure. Some women may feel mild cramping during or after the insemination, but it's temporary.

The actual insemination takes just 5–10 minutes. Including preparation and monitoring, the process spans around 2–3 weeks in total.

Yes, most women can return to their regular routine right after the procedure. Strenuous activities may be avoided for a day or two.

Usually, 3–4 well-timed IUI cycles are recommended. If pregnancy is not achieved, IVF may be considered next.

No. Immune testing is useful for selected couples, mainly after repeated miscarriage or repeated IVF failure. Most couples do not need it.

An immune condition in which antibodies make the blood more likely to clot, including in the placenta. It is a recognised, treatable cause of recurrent miscarriage.

Some can. Antiphospholipid syndrome is treated with aspirin and heparin in pregnancy, and thyroid problems with medicines. For other immune findings the evidence is less clear, and your doctor will discuss the options honestly.

Ideally before your next pregnancy or embryo transfer, so any treatment can be planned in advance.

Most women experience only mild discomfort, especially with diagnostic hysteroscopy. Operative procedures are usually done under sedation or anesthesia to prevent pain.

You can go home the same day. Full recovery usually happens within 1–3 days.

Yes. Hysteroscopy helps diagnose and treat uterine abnormalities that can affect implantation, IVF success, and pregnancy maintenance.4. Is hysteroscopy safe? Hysteroscopy is a very safe and well-tolerated procedure with minimal risks. Rare complications include infection, bleeding, or uterine per

No. The procedure is done under general anesthesia. Mild post-operative discomfort may occur but is manageable with medication.

Most patients recover within 5 to 7 days. Full recovery and return to strenuous activity may take 2 to 3 weeks.

Yes. It is commonly used to treat fertility-limiting conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, or tubal blockages, thus improving the chances of natural conception or IVF success.

In most cases, laparoscopic surgery is a day-care or short-stay procedure. You can often return home the same day.

Eggs can be stored for up to 10 years or more. They remain viable as long as they are stored properly under cryogenic conditions.

It depends on your age and fertility goals. On average, 10–20 mature eggs are recommended to optimize chances for future pregnancy.

No. It is done under light anesthesia and usually takes 20–30 minutes. Mild cramping or bloating may occur afterward but resolves quickly.

The eggs are thawed, fertilized via ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), and the resulting embryos are transferred to your uterus through a standard IVF process.

Yes. Techniques such as egg, sperm, and embryo freezing have been widely used with high safety and success. They do not affect future health or fertility.

No. The procedure is done in the lab on embryos and does not involve any physical discomfort for the patient.

Fertility preservation is done to store reproductive cells for later use, while IVF is a treatment aimed at immediate conception.

Yes. Fertility preservation is ideal for individuals who are not ready to start a family but may wish to in the future.

Yes, in most cases. Mild problems may respond to lifestyle changes, medicines or IUI. Even with very low numbers, ICSI needs only one healthy sperm for each egg.

This is called azoospermia. It can be caused by a blockage or by a problem with sperm production. Hormone tests and an examination help find the cause, and in many men sperm can still be retrieved surgically from the testis for ICSI.

Avoid ejaculation for 2 to 7 days before the test, and give the sample at the clinic if possible, or bring it within an hour, kept at body temperature. A single abnormal result is usually repeated before drawing conclusions.

They can help. Stopping smoking, cutting down alcohol, reaching a healthy weight, avoiding heat to the groin and reviewing medicines all support sperm production. Because sperm take about three months to mature, improvements take time.

Most tests involve a semen sample and a blood test. Surgical sperm retrieval, when needed, is done under anaesthesia and most men go home the same day.

For obstructive azoospermia, sperm are found in most men. For non-obstructive azoospermia, sperm are found in some men, and the chance depends on the cause, hormone levels and the procedure used.

It is done under anaesthesia, so you feel no pain during it. Mild soreness for a few days afterwards is common and eased with painkillers.

Yes. Freezing sperm after retrieval means they can be used in future ICSI cycles without repeating the procedure.

Hormone tests, a scrotal ultrasound and, often, genetic tests such as a karyotype and Y-chromosome microdeletion test.

No. Many men with a varicocele have normal fertility. It is considered for treatment when it can be felt and the semen analysis is abnormal.

Usually three to six months, because that is how long new sperm take to develop.

It depends on the female partner's age and fertility, and on the semen results. If time matters, ICSI may be the better route.

It is done under anaesthesia. Most men return to normal activity within a few days.

Frozen sperm remains usable for many years. Storage is renewed periodically, and Indian law sets rules on storage periods and consent.

Some sperm do not survive thawing, and motility is usually lower after thawing. That is why ICSI is often used with frozen sperm.

Usually within a day or two. Contact us as soon as treatment is planned, so freezing can be done before it starts.

If the count is low, or if several future treatments are planned, storing more than one sample is often advised.

Many women with PCOS do, especially when periods become more regular with weight loss or treatment. If you have been trying for 12 months, or 6 months if you are over 35 or your periods are very irregular, it is worth seeing a fertility specialist.

No. Most women with PCOS conceive with ovulation induction, sometimes with IUI. IVF is used when simpler treatment has not worked or there are other fertility problems.

The terms are often used for the same condition in India. Doctors use the name PCOS and diagnose it from your periods, hormone levels and ultrasound.

For women who are overweight, losing 5 to 10 percent of body weight can restore ovulation and improve the chance of pregnancy with or without treatment.

Women with PCOS have a higher risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). We reduce this with gentle stimulation protocols, careful monitoring and, often, by freezing embryos for a later transfer.

Yes. Many women with endometriosis conceive naturally or with treatment. Your chances depend mostly on your age, egg reserve, the state of your tubes and how severe the endometriosis is.

Not always. Surgery on the ovary can lower egg reserve, so the decision depends on the size of the cyst, your symptoms and your AMH. Your doctor will weigh this with you.

It can. That is why the timing of surgery and fertility treatment is planned together, so you have the best chance of pregnancy soon after.

Yes. IVF is an effective treatment for endometriosis-related infertility. Results depend mainly on age and egg reserve.

Yes. If you ovulate, your tubes are open and your partner's semen is normal, natural pregnancy is possible. Low AMH means there may be less time, so do not wait too long before seeking advice.

AMH falls naturally with age, so a normal level depends on how old you are. Your doctor interprets it together with your age and ultrasound.

No treatment reliably increases AMH. The aim is to use your remaining reserve well, with timely treatment.

It can be. Fewer eggs are usually collected, but younger women with low AMH often have good-quality eggs. Your doctor will discuss your chances based on age and test results.

Yes. If the other tube is healthy and you ovulate, natural pregnancy or IUI is possible, though it may take longer. Your age and other test results guide the plan.

Sometimes, in mild cases, with laparoscopic or hysteroscopic procedures. For many women with badly damaged tubes, IVF gives a better chance of pregnancy.

Most women feel period-like cramps for a few minutes. A painkiller taken beforehand helps.

A blocked fallopian tube filled with fluid. The fluid can reduce the chance of an embryo implanting, so removing or clipping the tube is often advised before IVF.

It means the standard tests for both partners are normal, but pregnancy has not happened after a year of trying. It does not mean there is no answer, only that the usual tests have not found one.

No. Depending on your age and how long you have been trying, IUI with ovulation induction is often tried first. IVF is the next step if that does not work.

Yes. The woman's age is the most important factor in deciding how quickly to move to treatment and which treatment to choose.

A healthy weight, not smoking, limiting alcohol and managing stress support fertility for both partners, alongside any treatment.

Fertility can change with age, health, weight, infections, surgery such as a caesarean, and changes in sperm quality. A check for both partners usually finds the reason.

Sometimes. It can lead to adhesions or a small scar defect in the uterus. An ultrasound or hysteroscopy can check for this.

Yes. Sperm quality can change over the years, so a new semen analysis is part of the check.

The tests and treatment options are the same as for a first pregnancy. The plan depends on what the tests find.

There is no fixed number. Doctors usually consider it when two or more transfers of good-quality embryos have not led to a pregnancy, taking the woman's age into account.

A second opinion is reasonable after one or more unexplained failures. Bring all your previous reports so the review can be detailed.

It can help some couples, especially older women or those with many embryos, by avoiding the transfer of chromosomally abnormal embryos. It is not needed for everyone, and your doctor will explain whether it suits you.

Yes. Polyps, fibroids, scar tissue, a septum or a fluid-filled tube can all lower the chance of implantation. Many of these can be treated with hysteroscopy or laparoscopy.

Many couples can start the next cycle after one or two periods. If tests or surgery are needed first, your doctor will plan the timing with you.

Testing is recommended after two pregnancy losses. If you are over 35 or have had difficulty conceiving, it is reasonable to seek advice after one.

Almost never. Most miscarriages happen because of chromosomal problems in the pregnancy that nothing could have prevented. Normal work, exercise and intercourse do not cause miscarriage.

This is common and is called unexplained recurrent miscarriage. The chance of a successful next pregnancy is still good, and early scans and regular support in early pregnancy help.

IVF alone does not prevent miscarriage. When a parent carries a balanced chromosome change, IVF with genetic testing of embryos can help select embryos without the imbalance.

No. Aspirin and heparin are recommended for women with antiphospholipid syndrome. They are not advised routinely for unexplained miscarriage.
