The IVF process requires patience and time to complete it. Let’s dive deep into the steps involved:
1) Treatment Consultation
The average IVF treatment cost in India ranges from 1 lakh to 3 lakh 50 thousand.
Before beginning the process, several tests are conducted, including physical fitness, blood test, hormonal test, infertility assessment, and the Quality of your eggs before opting for IVF.
The further procedure will begin only when both couples pass all the tests. Nimaaya offers the best consultation with an IVF specialist who guides you throughout the process.
2) Stimulation of Ovaries
The IVF process begins by administering certain injections to stimulate ovaries or produce some eggs. There are two types of protocols, long and antagonist protocols; which one to proceed with will depend on past and present medical history.
The extended protocol will give an injection for 21 days of the menstrual cycle. After this, you must return on the 2nd or 3rd day of your next menstrual cycle to begin with ovarian stimulation.
On the other hand, in antagonist protocol, you will receive fewer injections, and treatment will begin on the 2nd day of your menstrual cycle.
For both tests, make doctor appointments and visit on the dates scheduled by Nimaaya Hospital.
3) Examination of Ultrasound
The IVF success rate in India is relatively between 50 to 60%. During this process, the response of your ovaries is examined by calling you in short intervals to examine you. The IVF specialist at Nimaaya will call you to assess the response of your ovaries and may ask you to cancel the IVF cycle if the response is poor.
4) HCG Injection
An HCG injection will be needed to trigger the egg’s final maturation and preparation for collection. The eggs will be collected after 34 to 36 hours of injection.
5) Egg Collection
This procedure will take 15 to 20 min, during which eggs will be removed from ovaries with the help of transvaginal sonography. The number of eggs removed will depend on your body’s response to the injection.
6) Collection of Sperm
On the same day as the egg collection, the IVF fertility center will ask your male partner to collect semen samples. In case if not possible to produce semen on the same day, the reserved one can be used.
7) Fertilization
The eggs will be fertilized in the lab by IVI or ICSI. The IVF specialist will examine the eggs for fertilization and further development of embryos.
8) Transferring the Embryo
An embryo is formed 5 days after egg collection. The next step is to transfer the embryo to the uterus with the help of a thin tube. After the transfer, an IVF specialist may ask you to get some medication to support the process.
9) Pregnancy Test
Immediately after two weeks of embryo transfer, you will be asked to conduct a beta HCG pregnancy test. If the test is positive, an ultrasound conducted will confirm the pregnancy.
Side Effects of IUI
It includes a slight risk of developing infection, vaginal bleeding while placing a catheter in the uterus, increasing the risk of multiple pregnancies.
