IVF in India

IVF (in vitro fertilisation) is a fertility treatment in which eggs are collected from the ovaries, fertilised with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is placed in the uterus. It is the most widely used assisted reproduction treatment for couples who have not conceived naturally. In India, IVF is provided by registered clinics under the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021.

Typical hospital stay: No overnight stay (day-care procedures)

Time to plan in India: 3 to 4 weeks for a fresh cycle

Who needs it?

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes

• Low sperm count or poor sperm movement

• Endometriosis or PCOS that has not responded to other treatment

• Unexplained infertility after 1 to 2 years of trying

• Failed IUI cycles

• Couples using frozen eggs or embryos

How it's done

1. Fertility tests for both partners and a personalised protocol

2. Ovarian stimulation: daily hormone injections for about 10 to 12 days, with scans and blood tests to track the eggs

3. Egg collection: a short day-care procedure under sedation

4. Fertilisation in the lab, by conventional IVF or ICSI

5. Embryo culture for 3 to 5 days

6. Embryo transfer into the uterus, a painless procedure that needs no anaesthesia

7. Pregnancy blood test about 2 weeks after transfer

Recovery timeline

• Egg collection day: rest for a few hours, mild cramps are common

• Next day: most women return to light activity

• After transfer: normal daily activity, avoiding heavy exercise

• 2 weeks later: pregnancy test, which can be done at home or with your local doctor

FAQs

What is the success rate of IVF? Success depends mainly on the woman's age, egg quality and the cause of infertility; your fertility specialist gives you a personal estimate after tests.

Can we do IVF on a short trip? Some steps, like baseline tests, can be planned before you travel, but most couples need about 3 to 4 weeks in India for a fresh cycle.

Can extra embryos be frozen? Yes. Good-quality extra embryos can be frozen for a future transfer without repeating stimulation.

Is surrogacy available for international patients? No. Indian law does not permit surrogacy for foreign nationals; we can explain what options are available to you.
