IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is a fertility treatment in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy. At Dr Padmaja Fertility Centre in Habsiguda, Hyderabad, IVF is used for blocked tubes, endometriosis, male-factor and unexplained infertility.

Your specialist recommends the right option after evaluating both partners. Figures vary by age and diagnosis.
IVF success depends mainly on the woman's age, the cause of infertility, and embryo quality. Reported clinical pregnancy rates per embryo transfer commonly range from about 35% to 40%, and are higher in younger patients. Ask for age-specific figures during your consultation.
A single IVF cycle typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks, from the start of ovarian stimulation through egg retrieval, fertilisation, and embryo transfer, followed by a pregnancy test about two weeks later.
Most steps are well tolerated. Egg retrieval is done under sedation, so it is not painful during the procedure. Some patients feel mild bloating or cramping afterward, which usually settles within a few days.
