In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

In-vitro fertilisation refers to a series of processes where a healthy egg and sperm are collected and combined in a laboratory setting. After successful fertilisation, the resulting embryos are then returned for implantation in the mother’s uterus.

An entire IVF cycle is time-sensitive, and takes about 4 to 6 weeks from the start of ovarian stimulation to the embryo implantation. Generally, an IVF cycle includes:

• Pre-treatment preparation
• Ovarian stimulation
• Egg retrieval
• Fertilisation and embryo culture
• Embryo transfer
• Pregnancy test

Some patients may require several IVF cycles to achieve a successful pregnancy. Your fertility specialist will work with you to effectively conceive with optimal outcomes.
