What is IVF

What is In Vitro Fertilization?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted-reproduction technique in which an egg is fertilised by sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is placed into the woman's uterus. "In vitro" means "outside the body" — so eggs are retrieved, fertilised and grown in the lab, and the best embryos are then transferred to achieve pregnancy.

Popularly known as the "test-tube baby" technique, IVF is today one of the most successful fertility treatments in the world — more than 5 million healthy babies have been born through IVF, and that number is rising every year. It is the right choice when simpler treatments have not worked, or when specific medical conditions make natural conception difficult.

Types of IVF

IVF and its related techniques

Your treatment is tailored to your diagnosis — using the technique most likely to succeed for you.

Conventional IVF

Eggs and sperm are combined in the lab and fertilisation happens on its own.

ICSI

A single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg — used for all couples at Bavishi Fertility Institute.

Blastocyst Transfer

Embryos are grown to day 5–6 (blastocyst) before transfer, for stronger selection.

Frozen Embryo Transfer

Electively all or surplus embryos are frozen with vitrification. They are transferred in a later cycle, with close to 100% thaw survival.

Needle Free IVF

Needle free injection systems use the same injections. Medications are injected in body without needle by a special device with high pressure through the skin.

Step by Step

The IVF process at Bavishi Fertility Institute

From your first consultation to your pregnancy test, every stage is handled with precision, safety and care.

01

Pre-treatment Evaluation

Before starting, both partners are thoroughly evaluated to optimise the outcome — blood tests for husband & wife, semen test, 3D sonography, and if needed, specialised tests like hysteroscopy.

02

Ovarian Stimulation

After your period, a customised dose of gonadotropin hormones (FSH/HMG) is given as a small daily injection for about 7–12 days to grow multiple mature eggs, with regular ultrasound monitoring. A precise 'trigger' injection then matures the eggs for retrieval.

03

Egg Retrieval & Fertilization

34–36 hours after the trigger, eggs are retrieved through the vagina under short sedation — no cut, no stitch, and you go home in about 2 hours. The same day, the best sperm are selected and each mature egg is fertilised by ICSI in our Class 1000 IVF lab.

04

Embryo Culture & Transfer

Embryos are grown in next-generation humid incubators that mimic the body. Two to six days later, the best-quality embryo(s) are either gently transferred into the uterus or electively frozen, customised to your condition & response. Surplus embryos can be frozen.

05

Pregnancy Test

About 13–15 days after embryo transfer, a Beta-HCG blood test confirms pregnancy. From egg formation to transfer, the active treatment usually takes just 12–19 days.

Treatment Timeline

Your IVF cycle, day by day

Risks & Considerations

Honest about the risks — and how we manage them

IVF is very safe in expert hands. Here's what to be aware of — and how Bavishi Fertility Institute keeps you protected at every step.

Multiple pregnancy

How We Help: Safe-stimulation protocols — with zero severe OHSS in over 10 years.

Ectopic pregnancy

Rarely, an embryo implants outside the uterus.

How We Help: Early monitoring and Beta-HCG follow-up to detect it promptly.

Egg-retrieval risks

As with any procedure, minor risks exist.

How We Help: A short, sedated, no-cut/no-stitch procedure by experienced specialists.

Emotional well-being

IVF treatment can be an emotional journey.

How We Help: Counselling and compassionate support at every step.

FAQ

IVF — your questions answered

IVF is an assisted-reproduction technique in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilised by sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy.

Often, yes. IUI is usually tried for 3–4 cycles; if pregnancy hasn't happened by then, or if there's a diagnosis like blocked tubes, low ovarian reserve or significant male-factor infertility, IVF gives a meaningfully higher chance per cycle because fertilisation and early embryo development happen under direct observation in the lab. Your specialist will review your IUI history and test results to confirm whether it's time to move to IVF.

A failed cycle is thoroughly reviewed before starting again — embryo quality, lab conditions, and your stimulation protocol are all re-evaluated. At Bavishi Fertility Institute this means Class 1000 (10× clean air) labs, a personalised protocol adjusted to your prior response, and PGT where indicated to select the healthiest embryo. We also offer a second-opinion consultation to walk through exactly what happened last time and what we'd change.

Generally about one year of trying if the woman is under 35, or six months if she is 35 or older. With known fertility issues — or if the woman is over 40 — it is wise to consult a specialist sooner.

In conventional IVF, eggs and sperm are mixed in a dish. In ICSI, a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each egg. ICSI is preferred for male-factor infertility or previous fertilisation failure — at Bavishi Fertility Institute we use ICSI for all couples.

Age is the single biggest factor — younger women generally have higher success rates. For older patients, options such as donor eggs, previously-frozen embryos or advanced IVF techniques can improve the chances.

From the start of stimulation to embryo transfer, the active treatment usually takes about 12–17 days, plus the pre-treatment evaluation beforehand.

No. Egg retrieval is a short, painless procedure done through the vagina under light sedation — with no cut and no stitch. Most patients go home within about two hours.

Cost depends on your diagnosis, the protocol and any add-ons such as ICSI, PGT or donor programmes. Bavishi Fertility Institute offers transparent pricing with no hidden costs, easy / interest-free EMI and the Suraksha Kavach package. Book a consultation for a personalised estimate.

Yes — through the Suraksha Kavach programme, which covers multiple IVF cycles and provides financial protection on your fertility journey. Speak to our team to see if you qualify.

There are no strict restrictions, but a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins is recommended, along with good hydration. Follow any specific guidance your clinic provides for your treatment.

Embryo grading assesses the quality of embryos based on their appearance and development. Higher-grade embryos are more likely to implant successfully, which is why our embryologists select the best-quality embryo(s) for transfer.

Yes, IVF treatment is available for single women in India — with donor sperm, single women can conceive. Our team will explain the options available to you. Unfortunately, single men are not currently eligible for fertility treatments under Indian law.
