At Life Plus Hospital, we recognize the importance of your journey toward parenthood. For couples facing fertility challenges, our advanced IVF and ICSI treatments offer hope and cutting-edge technology, along with compassionate care, to help fulfill your dream of becoming parents.
IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, involves combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory to create an embryo. This embryo is then carefully implanted into the uterus, where it can grow naturally, leading to a successful pregnancy.
A pre-IVF evaluation ensures your treatment plan is tailored to your needs. This process includes:
Reviewing health history, prior pregnancies, and lifestyle factors.
Tests like AMH and FSH assess ovarian reserves and reproductive health.
Evaluates the uterus and ovaries to identify any abnormalities.
Assesses sperm count, motility, and morphology for male partners.
Recommended if there’s a history of genetic disorders.
At Life Plus Hospital, the IVF process is streamlined for your convenience:
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized form of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. This process is particularly beneficial for couples facing male infertility challenges.
ICSI is a game-changer for male infertility, particularly in cases involving low sperm count or poor motility. It’s also ideal for couples who’ve experienced failed fertilization attempts in standard IVF.
While IVF is suitable for many, ICSI is preferred in cases of severe male infertility. The choice depends on the specific needs of the couple.
Like any medical procedure, IVF may have side effects, including:
Our team at Life Plus Hospital closely monitors your treatment to minimize these effects.
Highly experienced fertility specialists.
Advanced labs to maximize success rates.
Customized treatment plans for each patient.
Guidance and emotional support throughout your journey.

IVF itself is not generally painful, but certain parts of the process can cause discomfort:
The entire IVF process usually takes around 4-6 weeks for one cycle. This includes:
Success rates for IVF depend on various factors, including:
The likelihood of having twins or multiples increases with IVF, particularly if multiple embryos are transferred. The risk can be reduced by transferring fewer embryos, which is common practice for women with a good prognosis. However, women with older eggs or certain fertility issues may need to transfer more embryos to increase the chances of pregnancy.
For women over 40, the success rate of IVF decreases significantly, particularly if using their own eggs. The success rate for women over 40 can range from 5% to 20% per cycle depending on factors such as egg quality and overall health. Some women may opt for egg donation to improve success rates.
Yes, IVF can be a successful treatment for women with endometriosis, especially when other fertility treatments like IUI have not been successful. IVF bypasses the fallopian tubes and directly places the fertilized embryos into the uterus, which can be helpful for women with blocked tubes or damage caused by endometriosis.
Embryo freezing is the process of freezing extra embryos for future use. If there are surplus healthy embryos after an IVF cycle, they can be frozen and stored for future cycles, which helps reduce the need for repeat egg retrieval procedures.
Preparation for IVF generally involves:
While IVF is generally considered safe, it does carry some risks, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), multiple pregnancies, and the potential for complications during the egg retrieval or embryo transfer process. However, the procedure has been refined over the years, and with proper monitoring, the risks are minimized.
