Question 1

What is IVF and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

IVF — In Vitro Fertilisation — is the process of retrieving eggs from the ovaries, fertilising them with sperm in our laboratory, and placing the resulting embryo into the uterus. It is recommended when simpler treatments have not worked, or when specific conditions make natural conception unlikely.

Question 2

What are my realistic chances of IVF success?

Accepted Answer

Success rates vary significantly with age, diagnosis, and ovarian reserve. For women under 35, live birth rates per transfer are typically 40–55% at well-run centres. For women 35–40, the range is 25–40%. Over 40, rates are lower — though donor eggs can significantly improve outcomes.

Question 3

How long does one IVF cycle take?

Accepted Answer

From the start of stimulation to the pregnancy test is approximately 4–6 weeks. Including initial investigations and consultation: allow 6–8 weeks for a complete cycle.

Question 4

When should we seek fertility advice?

Accepted Answer

If you are under 35 and have been trying for 12 months without success, seek an evaluation. If you are over 35, do not wait longer than 6 months. If either partner has a known condition — PCOS, irregular cycles, abnormal semen results — seek advice sooner.

Question 5

I have PCOS. Does that mean I need IVF?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Many patients with PCOS conceive with ovulation induction and IUI. IVF is recommended only if simpler approaches have not worked or if other factors are present.
