Question 1

What is IVF?

Question 2

Is IVF painful?

Accepted Answer

The IVF process involves a few hormone injections and a short procedure to collect eggs. Most women feel only mild discomfort. Our expert team at Abha Surgy ensures you feel comfortable and supported at every step.

Question 3

What are the steps involved in IVF?

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Consultation & Fertility Testing We begin with a detailed consultation and suggest fertility tests for both partners. At Abha Surgy, we check hormone levels, egg reserve, sperm quality, and do an ultrasound, so we can plan the best IVF protocol for you. Step 2: Ovarian Stimulation (10-12 Days) Hormonal injections are given to help your ovaries produce multiple eggs instead of just one. Don’t worry, our doctors at Abha Surgy will guide you through the injections and monitor your progress with ultrasounds and blood tests every few days. Step 3: Egg Retrieval (Day Procedure) Once your eggs are ready, we do a short procedure to collect them. Takes about 15-20 minutes. You go home the same day. At Abha Surgy, we ensure this is done gently and safely. Step 4: Fertilization in the Lab We mix the collected eggs with sperm in our advanced IVF lab to create embryos. Our embryologists at Abha Surgy carefully monitor them as they grow for 3-5 days. Step 5: Embryo Transfer One healthy embryo is selected and gently placed into your uterus using a thin tube. At Abha Surgy we are technically advanced with the latest medical equipment to ensure that the entire embryo transfer process is undertaken with great care and precision under the guidance of experienced medical practitioners in the field. Step 6: Pregnancy Test (After 14 Days) After two weeks, a blood test is taken to check if the embryo has been implanted. If it’s positive, we at Abha Surgy Healthcare Private Limited (ASHPL) celebrate with you. If not, we do not dishearten you but discuss next steps with care and clarity to help turn a failed attempt into success. In addition, ASHPL also has facilities for Embryo Donation and encourages individuals to donate their embryos for a cause.

Question 4

When do you need IVF?

Accepted Answer

You might need IVF if you’re facing challenges with natural conception. Some common reasons include: Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes – eggs and sperm can’t meet naturally. Severe male infertility – very low sperm count or poor sperm quality. Unexplained infertility – when tests don’t show a clear cause but pregnancy isn’t happening. Endometriosis or uterine problems – conditions affecting the uterus or ovaries. Failed other fertility treatments – such as ovulation induction or intrauterine insemination (IUI). Age-related infertility – when natural fertility declines, especially after 35. At Abha Surgy, an IVF clinic in Kolkata, our expert fertility specialists will evaluate your unique situation, explain all options, and guide you through the best treatment path – including IVF if it’s right for you.

Question 5

What are the success rates of IVF?

Accepted Answer

IVF success depends on several factors, including age, cause of infertility, and overall health. On average: Women under 35 have about a 40-50% chance of a successful pregnancy per IVF cycle. Between ages 35-40, the success rate drops to about 25-35%. For women over 40, the chances are lower but vary depending on individual health and treatment. Success also depends on the quality of eggs, sperm, and embryos, as well as the clinic’s expertise. At Abha Surgy Healthcare Private Limited (ASHPL), we use the latest technology and personalized care to maximize your chances. Remember, sometimes multiple IVF cycles are needed, and our team will support you every step of the way.

Question 6

Does IVF have risks and side effects?

Accepted Answer

IVF can have some risks and side effects, but most women go through it safely. Some common ones include: Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Sometimes, fertility medicines cause your ovaries to swell and become painful. This usually goes away with rest and treatment. Multiple Pregnancies: IVF can increase the chance of twins or more, which may carry extra risks during pregnancy. Mood Swings or Emotional Stress: IVF can be emotionally challenging, so support from our care team is important. Bleeding or Infection: Rarely, minor complications can happen from procedures like egg retrieval. At Abha Surgy Healthcare Private Limited (ASHPL), your safety and comfort are our priority. We monitor you closely and provide care to reduce risks and help you manage any possible side effects.

Question 7

What are the implications of using donor eggs or sperm?

Accepted Answer

Using donor eggs or sperm can help people facing certain fertility challenges have a baby. But there are some important things to consider: Genetic Connection: The baby won’t share genes with one parent if donor eggs or sperm are used. Legal and Emotional Factors: Laws about donor anonymity and parental rights vary. It’s important to understand these before proceeding. Medical Screening: Donors are carefully screened for health and genetic conditions to ensure safety. Emotional Impact: Using donors can bring up feelings or questions for parents and children later on. Ethical and Cultural Views: Some families or communities may have specific beliefs about donor use, which should be respected. At Abha Surgy, we provide thorough counselling and support to help you understand all aspects of donor egg or sperm use, so you can make the best choice for your family.

Question 8

How much does IVF cost? What are the typical expenses associated with IVF?

Accepted Answer

IVF treatment costs can vary depending on many factors like your medical condition, clinic packages, location, and your individual needs. Typical expenses include: Consultation and Fertility Tests: To check fertility and plan your treatment. Medications: Hormone injections to stimulate egg production – this can be a significant part of the cost. Egg Retrieval and Laboratory Work: The procedure to collect eggs and fertilize them in the lab. Embryo Transfer: Placing the fertilized embryo into the uterus. Additional Services: Sometimes, extra treatments like genetic testing or freezing embryos add to the cost. At Abha Surgy, we provide transparent pricing and tailormade treatment plans to adjust to your budget and needs. Our team will guide you through all expenses so there are no surprises. We also offer flexible payment options and financial counselling to support your IVF journey.

Question 9

Do insurance plans typically cover IVF treatments?

Accepted Answer

Insurance coverage for IVF varies a lot depending on your country, insurance provider, and plan. In many cases: Most standard insurance plans do NOT cover IVF fully or at all. Some plans may cover parts of the treatment, like initial consultations or certain tests. A few insurance policies or government programs offer partial or full coverage for IVF – but this is still rare. It’s important to check your specific insurance policy carefully or talk to your provider. At Abha Surgy Healthcare Private Limited (ASHPL), we help you understand your insurance options and guide you through payment plans or financial support if needed.

Question 10

What emotional support is available during the IVF process?

Accepted Answer

In IVF emotional support plays a very important role. Throughout the process, the patient may feel ups and downs as the treatment needs a lot of patience and hope. Dealing with patients whose first attempt has failed is also not easy for IVF clinics. Mental well-being of such patients is very important. At Abha Surgy, we offer: Counselling Services: Our doctors and professional counsellors help you manage stress, fears, and emotions throughout your treatment. Patient Education: Clear information helps reduce uncertainty and build confidence. We educate our patients on all the pros and cons of IVF treatment so that there are no surprises.

Question 11

Does lifestyle affect IVF success?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your lifestyle does affect IVF success, and at Abha Surgy IVF Centre, we emphasize the importance of following healthy habits to improve your chances of IVF success. Key Lifestyle Factors That Influence IVF Success: Diet & Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals boosts reproductive health. At Abha Surgy, we provide personalized nutrition guidance for couples undergoing IVF. Body Weight: Both underweight and overweight individuals may face hormonal imbalances that reduce IVF effectiveness. Achieving a healthy BMI is part of our pre-IVF care at Abha Surgy. Stress Levels: High stress can disrupt hormone levels and ovulation. Abha Surgy offers counselling and stress-reduction techniques to support emotional well-being during your IVF journey. Smoking & Alcohol: These can lower sperm count and egg quality. We advise quitting these habits before starting IVF treatment for optimal results. Sleep & Exercise: Adequate sleep and moderate physical activity support overall hormonal balance and reproductive health. At Abha Surgy, we don’t just treat infertility, we partner with you to create a healthier path to parenthood. Our holistic approach combines advanced medical care with lifestyle support for the best possible outcome.

Question 12

What is the process of embryo / egg freezing in more detail?

Accepted Answer

Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) and embryo freezing are advanced fertility preservation methods that allow individuals or couples to store their reproductive cells for future use. At an Abha Surgy Centre, egg / embryo freezing processes are undertaken with great care and precision. Here’s how the process works: Step-by-Step: Egg Freezing Ovarian Stimulation: You receive hormone injections (for about 10–12 days) to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Monitoring & Scans: Our fertility specialists monitor your response through blood tests and ultrasounds to check the growth of your follicles (which contain the eggs). Egg Retrieval (OPU – Ovum Pick Up): Once the eggs are mature, they are collected through a minor outpatient procedure under sedation. Freezing (Vitrification): The mature, high-quality eggs are frozen using a fast-freezing technique called vitrification, which prevents ice crystals and preserves egg integrity. Step-by-Step: Embryo Freezing Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval: Similar to egg freezing, the female partner undergoes stimulation and retrieval. Fertilization: The eggs are fertilized in the lab with sperm (partner’s or donor’s) to create embryos. Embryo Culture: Embryos are grown in the lab for 3-5 days (to the blastocyst stage). Freezing (Vitrification): Healthy embryos are frozen and safely stored in our cryopreservation lab for future use. Who Can Consider Egg or Embryo Freezing? Women who want to delay pregnancy (due to career, studies, or personal reasons) Patients undergoing cancer treatment or surgeries that may affect fertility Couples undergoing IVF who want to save extra embryos for future transfer Why Choose Abha Surgy IVF Centre? Honesty and Transparency.
