In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is India’s most common assisted reproductive technique. Approximately 2-2.5 lakh IVF cycles are performed annually in India alone. IVF involves fertilizing the eggs with sperm in a vitro dish at a laboratory in a carefully observed environment. This method of assisted reproduction has helped several couples globally to conceive when other treatments have not been successful. It is suitable for various fertility issues such as damaged or blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, low sperm count, and more.
IVF technology is safe and improves the chances of achieving pregnancy. It offers hope and support to individuals or couples who desire to have a child but are facing difficulties in doing so. Moreover, IVF offers opportunities for single women to experience the joy of parenthood by using donated eggs or sperm. It’s a successful procedure with minimal complications which is precisely why its demand has boomed in recent years.

In India, the IVF success rate is currently between 70% to 80% and keeps continuously improving with medical advancements in the field. However, IVF’s chances of success can vary significantly based on various factors.
One crucial factor that affects the IVF success rate is the age of the woman undergoing the treatment, as fertility declines with age. Usually, younger women have higher chances of conceiving through IVF, compared to those who’ve crossed a certain age threshold. The cause of infertility is another factor that influences the success rate of IVF treatment.
Certain factors such as blocked fallopian tubes or endometriosis may affect IVF chances of success. The quality of both the egg and sperm used in the IVF process also plays a significant role in the outcome.
Infertility, whether it is primary (never conceived before) or secondary (previously conceived but unable to conceive again), can also impact IVF chances of success.
Overall, IVF success can depend upon multiple factors, and it is important for individuals considering IVF to have a thorough discussion with their infertility specialist to understand their specific chances of success based on their unique circumstances.
Below is a table summarizing the average IVF success rates by age in India:
Age Group | Average IVF Success rate |
28 years | 45-55 % |
31 years | 40-50 % |
Below 35 years | 35-45 % |
Above 40 years | 15-20% |
Both IVF and IUI are advanced procedures to get pregnant. While both the procedures help infertile couples welcome parenthood there are certain differences between the two.
Let us discuss the differences between the two procedures:
These two procedures can work differently for different patients. The doctors determine which procedure would work best for a patient carefully assessing their case.
Before proceeding with IVF treatment, it is essential to determine where exactly the problem lies. The male and female partners need to undergo specific tests so that the infertility specialist can evaluate and determine the best treatment.
Specific tests in the case of men before IVF treatment include:
The common tests that women undergo before the IVF first step:
Hysteroscopy – In some instances, the gyne specialist or the infertility specialist may also require you to undergo a hysteroscopy. In hysteroscopy, the doctor would insert a flexible, thin, lighted medical instrument through the woman’s cervix to view inside her uterus and check if any abnormality is present.

The whole IVF process takes about 3 weeks and comprises several steps. Even though the steps are generally the same for everyone, there can be some differences depending on the situation.
The IVF first step starts with either birth control pills or estrogen medication. These pills regulate the patient’s menstrual cycle and prevent the growth of ovarian cysts. This allows the doctor to have better control over the treatment and increase the number of mature eggs that can be retrieved.
Normally, only one egg matures and is released during a menstrual cycle. But in IVF, the doctor gives the patients hormone injections to stimulate multiple eggs to mature at the same time. Thus, more eggs are available for retrieval. The dosage of the medications depends on the patient’s medical history and other factors.
During this process, the patient’s ovaries’ response is monitored through ultrasounds and hormone level tests. When the eggs are ready, the patient receives a shot to help them complete their maturation process.
In the egg retrieval procedure, the doctor uses a thin needle guided by an ultrasound to collect the eggs from the ovaries. The patient gets a mild mild sedation to minimize discomfort. The procedure is usually performed 36 hours after the trigger shot.
If the female is using their partner’s sperm, it will be collected at the same time as the egg retrieval. The sperm collection can happen in a private room at the hospital or clinic. In some cases, your IVF specialist may offer a home sample collection option. If donor sperm or frozen sperm is being used, embryologists make the necessary preparations in the IVF lab. They wash the collected sperm to remove impurities and ensure that they use only the healthiest sperm.
The day after the egg retrieval, the eggs and sperm are fertilized together in an incubator. They are left to develop, similar to natural fertilization. In some cases, a technique called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is used, where sperm is injected directly into each mature egg. Only mature eggs can be fertilized, as immature eggs are not ready for development.
Over the next five to six days, the doctors carefully monitor the development of the embryos. The most viable embryos are selected for transfer, while the rest may not progress further. Suitable embryos are frozen for future use.
Embryo transfer, also known as embryo transplantation is the final step of the IVF procedure where the doctor transfers properly formed embryos into the uterus. The doctor ensures the precise placement of the embryo using a thin catheter and ultrasound guidance. After the transfer, the woman may need to lie down for a while to increase the chances of successful implantation.
Approximately 10 to 14 days after the embryo transfer, doctors conduct a blood test to check if pregnancy has occurred. A positive pregnancy test confirms the pregnancy. Following this, the doctor checks your overall wellbeing, and gives instructions for prenatal care. If the test is negative, you may need another IVF cycle after taking your own time to feel fully prepared.
Preparing for an IVF procedure, ensures better treatment outcomes, and better chances of pregnancy. Fertility specialists suggest specific instructions to prepare for IVF based on your overall well-being, and lifestyle habits. Some standard preparation guidelines, are as follows:
IVF is for individuals or couples who face infertility issues due to different reasons that are impacting their natural conception. There are various factors that affect fertility, and in general, people with the following conditions may consider IVF as a solution:
It’s better to come with your partner for complete evaluation
Following the final step of the IVF procedure i.e., the egg retrieval procedure, most women resume their normal routine life shortly. It is normal to experience mild symptoms after the embryo transfer procedure. These symptoms can vary from person to person and may not necessarily indicate a pregnancy. A common symptom that many women experience is mild bloating and cramping, it happens because the reproductive organs are manipulated during the transfer. This symptom usually goes away on its own after a while.
Another symptom of successful embryo transfer is breast tenderness due to higher levels of estrogen in the body which may make the breasts feel sensitive and sore.
Light vaginal bleeding, known as spotting, can also happen after embryo transfer. This can occur when the embryo transplantation in the uterus is successful.
However, immediately get in touch with your gynecologist if you get severe pain or heavy bleeding. Constipation is another common issue that some people face after the procedure. It can be due to hormonal changes or the use of progesterone supplements, which can impact bowel movements.
Note: Only your IVF specialist can confirm if you have successfully conceived after embryo transfer or not. So, don’t leave room for guesswork, and keep in touch with your doctor.
When other methods of conception fail, IVF offers hope for individuals or couples struggling to get pregnant naturally. Several benefits of IVF treatment greatly improve your chances of conceiving:
IVF is a safe reproductive technique, and when performed under the guidance of an expert fertility specialist. However, throughout the procedure, there might be some complications involved at different stages of the treatment, like:
“We are feeling so blessed. There is no joy like parenthood.”
Ritika (name changed, 34 years old) and her husband Amrit (name changed, 38 years old) had been trying to conceive for the last 6-7 years. They consulted many doctors but could not find anyone with the kind of commitment required for the treatment process. The doctors they checked with told them that both the partners were completely healthy and they did not require any medical intervention. They trusted their words and kept trying for a baby, only to be disappointed month after month and year after year.
Ritika used to track her ovulation and plan intercourse as the doctors guided her. Eventually, they lost hope and gave up on the plan of being parents. It seemed too much of an effort for both of them.
“When nothing worked, we consulted a few fertility specialists in Delhi NCR who quoted us hefty amounts. We knew fertility treatments are expensive but what they had asked was way beyond our budget. We did not have that much money for treatment,” said Ritika.
After 11 years of marriage, Ritika and Amrit decided to give one last shot for the treatment. And they approached Pristyn Care for IVF treatment. With the guidance of one of the best fertility specialists in Delhi NCR, Ritika, and Amrit underwent IVF treatment and are proud, happy parents to two lovely twin daughters.
“Affordability was a big relief for us at Pristyn Care. The doctor did not give us any false hope; she only guided us with the best of her professional experience. She made us believe and hope. And things did turn into a reality so wonderfully like we never expected. Our married life has found a new meaning. We are so happy and thankful,” says the couple.
Fertility specialists recommend making some lifestyle changes to improve the IVF success rate. Building a healthier lifestyle ensures better treatment outcomes and raises the chances of a successful pregnancy. Here are some diet and lifestyle changes the patients should make after their IVF procedure:
IVF treatment is not a painful procedure. The only stage that might cause discomfort is the egg retrieval stage. Other than this, most patients do not feel any pain except for little cramps and bloating.
Women over the age of 35 years should consult a specialist for IVF treatment after trying to conceive for one year. As a woman reaches her mid-30s, her chances of pregnancy decrease. By this age, a woman should speak to a doctor to check her ovarian reserve and take necessary guidance.
Embryo transfer is the final stage of the IVF process, which involves the transfer of the selected number of embryos through the cervix into the uterus. A long and slender catheter is used to release the embryo or embryos in the uterus.
For healthy couples, there are high chances of conceiving in the first IVF cycle successfully. However, if the first attempt is unsuccessful, the patients usually have to go through 2-3 IVF cycles to have a pregnancy without complications.
Usually, one complete cycle of IVF takes around 6-8 weeks. However, your IVF specialist may split these steps into different parts, which can take longer.
After IVF, it takes about a week or so for the embryo implantation to take place successfully. You’ll know if you have conceived with a pregnancy test about 10–14 days later. If positive, an ultrasound in a few weeks confirms everything’s on track.
It’s a common occurrence to not get pregnant in the IVF cycle. So, if a woman doesn’t conceive during the first IVF cycle, she still has a chance of getting pregnant during the second, third, or even more IVF cycles.
Yes. Some lifestyle factors such as smoking and unmonitored alcohol consumption can affect the success of in vitro fertilization. The fertility specialists typically suggest the patients to restrict these habits during the treatment process. In addition, the doctor may also advise patients to maintain a healthy body weight in order to ensure the efficacy of the procedure.
One cycle of IVF treatment takes around two months. However, research suggests that women younger than 35 will get pregnant and have a baby with their first IVF egg retrieval and subsequent embryo transfer(s) about half the time.
If a woman doesn’t get pregnant with the first cycle of IVF, she still has a perfect chance of getting pregnant with the second, third, or even more cycles of IVF.
Yes, you can use the donor egg or sperm as both are viable and you have undergone the appropriate procedures to prepare your uterus for transfer.
No, donor eggs or sperm don’t affect the treatment outcome.
Yes, an IVF baby is usually normal and healthy. Millions of babies across the globe are born using IVF, which is entirely normal. The only difference between IVF babies and normal babies lies in the process of fertilization. After that, the rest of the pregnancy is as regular as a normal pregnancy.
It depends on several factors, such as the disease type, cause, and severity. You can book an appointment and consult online/offline with our highly experienced IVF experts to know more about the same.
The success rate of an IVF treatment depends highly on the woman’s age. As a woman ages, her chances of having a successful pregnancy gradually go down. If she is using her eggs:
The average cost of one cycle of IVF Treatment ranges from INR 64700 to INR 90000. in India.
Women who’re under 35 years old, and have been unable to conceive a child despite having regular, unprotected sex, should consult with a fertility specialist for IVF at the earliest. Age is a major factor impacting the success of IVF.
