In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) that involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the human body in a controlled laboratory environment. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the woman’s uterus, where it can implant and develop naturally into a pregnancy.

IVF is one of the most effective fertility treatments available today, helping couples with various fertility issues achieve successful conception and healthy pregnancies.

Who Can Benefit from IVF?

IVF can be a life-changing option for couples and individuals facing:

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes

• Low sperm count or poor sperm motility

• Ovulation disorders such as PCOS

• Endometriosis

• Unexplained infertility

• Advanced maternal age

• Genetic disorders (requiring preimplantation genetic testing)

• Same-sex couples or single parents seeking conception through donor options

Step-by-Step IVF Procedure

1. Initial Consultation & Fertility Assessment

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation and fertility evaluation for both partners. This includes blood tests, ultrasounds, and semen analysis to determine the best treatment approach.

2. Ovarian Stimulation

Hormonal medications are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries, encouraging the production of multiple eggs instead of the single egg released during a normal cycle.

3. Monitoring & Egg Retrieval

Your fertility specialist will closely monitor follicle growth through ultrasound scans and hormone tests. When the eggs are mature, a minor procedure called egg retrieval (or oocyte aspiration) is performed under light sedation to collect them from the ovaries.

4. Sperm Collection and Fertilization

A semen sample is collected from the male partner (or donor). The sperm is then combined with the eggs in a controlled laboratory dish. Fertilization occurs naturally or through Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) — where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.

5. Embryo Culture

The fertilized eggs develop into embryos over 3 to 5 days. Embryologists monitor their growth to select the healthiest embryos for transfer.

6. Embryo Transfer

A selected embryo (or sometimes more than one) is gently placed into the woman’s uterus using a thin catheter. This is a painless, non-surgical procedure.

7. Pregnancy Confirmation

About two weeks after embryo transfer, a blood test is conducted to check for pregnancy. If positive, you begin prenatal care under your doctor’s supervision.

Advanced IVF Techniques Available Through One Life Medical Tourism

To improve success rates, IVF is often combined with advanced techniques such as:

• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): Ideal for male infertility cases.

• PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing): Screens embryos for genetic disorders before implantation.

• Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): Allows embryos to be preserved for future use.

• Egg/Sperm Donation Programs: For individuals unable to produce viable eggs or sperm.

• Surrogacy Coordination: For intended parents who cannot carry a pregnancy.

Benefits of IVF

1. High Success Rates – Especially when using advanced fertility techniques.

2. Overcomes Multiple Fertility Challenges – Works for both male and female infertility issues.

3. Genetic Screening Option – Ensures a healthy pregnancy and reduces risk of hereditary conditions.

4. Flexible Family-Building Options – Helps single parents and same-sex couples conceive.

5. Emotional and Psychological Support – Partner clinics offer counseling and wellness support throughout the process.

IVF Treatment Duration

An IVF cycle typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, but multiple cycles may be required for successful conception depending on individual circumstances.

Cost of IVF Treatment

IVF costs vary depending on factors such as clinic location, type of medications, and add-on procedures (like ICSI or PGT). On average, IVF can range from $2,500 to $6,000 per cycle, significantly lower when arranged through One Life Medical Tourism, compared to Western fertility centers.
