What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment procedure in which an egg is fertilized with sperm outside the body in a laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus for implantation and pregnancy.

What is the cost of IVF?

The cost of IVF can vary depending on factors such as geographical location, the clinic or fertility center, additional procedures or treatments required, and medications. On average, the cost of a single IVF cycle can range from Rs. 1,00,000 to Rs. 3,00,000.

Who is the right doctor to consult for IVF?

A reproductive endocrinologist, also known as a fertility specialist, is the right doctor to consult for IVF. These specialists have expertise in diagnosing and treating fertility issues.

What technology is used during IVF?
  • Assisted reproductive technology (ART): This includes various laboratory techniques used in IVF, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryo culture, and embryo transfer.
  • Cryopreservation: The freezing and storage of extra embryos for future use, allowing for subsequent Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) cycles.
  • Please note that the specific procedures and protocols may vary depending on the individual case and the fertility clinic or center. It's essential to consult with a fertility specialist to understand the personalized treatment plan for IVF.
What precautions should be taken after IVF?

Follow the medication protocol as directed by the fertility specialist.

  • Rest and avoid strenuous activities for a few days after the embryo transfer.
  • Avoid smoking, alcohol, and excessive caffeine consumption.
  • Follow a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management.
  • Attend scheduled follow-up appointments with the fertility specialist.
What are the key after-treatment tests for IVF?
  • Pregnancy test: A blood test or urine test is conducted approximately two weeks after the embryo transfer to determine if pregnancy has occurred.
  • Ultrasound: An ultrasound scan is typically performed around six to eight weeks of pregnancy to confirm the presence of a gestational sac and heartbeat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, congenital heart disease can be passed down from a parent to a child. If one or both parents have a congenital heart defect, there is an increased risk of their child having the condition as well. However, it is important to note that not all congenital heart defects are inherited and some can occur due to other factors such as infections during pregnancy or exposure to certain medications or substances.

The initial treatment process for a child with congenital heart disorder depends on the type and severity of the condition. This could include medications for visible symptoms and monitoring with regular checkups.

The tests for congenital heart disorders do not always require hospitalization. Many of the tests can be performed on an outpatient basis, which means the patient can leave the hospital or clinic on the same day. However, some tests may require a short hospital stay, particularly if the patient is an infant or young child.

The treatment options for congenital heart disease may depend on the type and severity of the condition. These options may include medications or procedures like cardiac catheterization.
