IVF = In Vitro Fertilization It’s a fertility treatment where eggs are collected from the woman, fertilized with sperm in a lab, and the embryo is transferred back to the uterus.

Common reasons:- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes- Male factor infertility - low sperm count/motility - PCOS, endometriosis, or ovulation issues- Unexplained infertility- Age-related fertility decline- Failed IUI treatments

A full cycle takes about 4-6 weeks:1. Ovarian stimulation - 10-14 days of hormone injections to grow multiple eggs2. Egg retrieval - Minor procedure under sedation3. Fertilization in lab - Eggs + sperm combined, embryos cultured for 3-5 days4. Embryo transfer - 1-2 embryos placed in uterus. No surgery needed5. Pregnancy test - 10-14 days after transfer

Depends on age and other factors:- Under 35: 50-60% per cycle- 35-37: 40-50% - 38-40: 25-35%- Above 40: 10-20%Lifestyle, egg/sperm quality, and clinic expertise also matter.

Most of it isn’t. - Injections: Small pinch, like insulin shots- Egg retrieval: Done under sedation, so no pain during- Embryo transfer: Like a pap smear, no anesthesiaSome bloating/cramps are normal during stimulation.

Rough range: ₹1.2L - ₹2.5L per cycleThis usually includes consultation, scans, medicines, retrieval, lab, and transfer. Extra costs can be for ICSI, embryo freezing, PGT testing, donor eggs/sperm.

- OHSS: Ovarian Hyperstimulation - rare, bloating and discomfort- Multiple pregnancy: Higher chance of twins if 2 embryos transferred- Ectopic pregnancy: 1-2% risk- Emotional stress: Totally normal. Counseling helps

Yes! You can do normal work. Only need 1 day off for egg retrieval and transfer. Avoid heavy lifting for 2-3 days after retrieval.

About 50% conceive in the 1st cycle. Many need 2-3 cycles. Your doctor will review embryo quality and response to tailor the plan.

In India, gender selection is not legal. But PGT testing can be done to check for genetic diseases.
