Infertility is an emotional and physical journey for many couples, and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) often becomes a ray of hope. At Dr. Pramya’s Women & Fertility Care, we are committed to offering compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized fertility care. If you are considering IVF, understanding each step of the process can help you feel more confident and prepared for the journey ahead.
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Fertility Assessment
The first step begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Pramya and her team will:
- Review your medical history
- Conduct fertility evaluations for both partners
- Recommend advanced diagnostic tests such as hormonal profiling, ultrasound scans, and semen analysis
This stage is not just about reports but about understanding your unique challenges, expectations, and emotional readiness.
Step 2: Ovarian Stimulation
Once you’re ready to begin, the IVF cycle starts with ovarian stimulation.
- Medications are prescribed to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
- Regular monitoring through scans and blood tests ensures the response is optimal.
Our care focuses on personalized stimulation protocols to reduce discomfort and maximize the number of healthy eggs retrieved.
Step 3: Egg Retrieval
When your follicles are ready, eggs are retrieved through a minimally invasive procedure.
- It takes about 20–30 minutes and is performed under light anesthesia.
- On the same day, the semen sample is collected from the male partner.
The goal is to collect the best-quality eggs for fertilization.
Step 4: Fertilization & Embryo Development
In our state-of-the-art embryology lab, eggs are combined with sperm:
- Standard IVF (placing eggs and sperm together) or
- ICSI (injecting a single sperm into each egg)
Embryos are then cultured and monitored closely. Only the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer.
Step 5: Embryo Transfer
After 3–5 days of embryo growth, one or more embryos are transferred into the uterus.
- This is a painless, short procedure.
- Extra embryos, if available, may be cryopreserved for future use.
Step 6: The Two-Week Wait
Perhaps the most emotionally intense phase — the wait until pregnancy results.
- A blood test is done around 14 days post-transfer to confirm pregnancy.
- Our team provides counseling and support during this period, addressing both emotional and physical aspects.
