Frequently asked question

Treatment process

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a fertility treatment where eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. Healthy embryos are then transferred into the uterus to help achieve pregnancy.

A typical IVF cycle usually takes around 4–6 weeks from consultation to embryo transfer, depending on the patient’s individual treatment plan.

Most IVF procedures are minimally invasive and well tolerated. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, bloating, or cramping during treatment.

The number of embryos transferred depends on age, embryo quality, and medical history. In many cases, a single embryo transfer is recommended.

Extra healthy embryos can be frozen and safely stored for future use in additional pregnancy attempts.

Surrogacy is an arrangement in which a woman carries and gives birth to a baby for the intended parent or parents. In gestational surrogacy, an embryo created through IVF is transferred to the surrogate’s uterus, and the surrogate has no genetic connection to the baby.

The complete process may take approximately 12–24 months, depending on surrogate matching, medical examinations, legal procedures, embryo creation, treatment preparation and pregnancy.

Surrogates undergo medical, psychological and lifestyle screening before being approved. The matching process also considers the expectations, preferences and communication needs of both the surrogate and the intended parents.

Costs & insurance

IVF costs vary depending on medications, laboratory procedures, genetic testing, and additional fertility services included in the treatment plan.

Insurance coverage depends on the patient’s country, provider, and individual insurance policy. Some plans may partially cover fertility-related services.

Additional costs may apply for medications, embryo freezing, donor programs, or genetic testing. All treatment details are explained before starting the process.

Flexible payment and financing options may be available depending on the selected treatment program and patient eligibility.

IVF packages may include consultations, fertility testing, monitoring, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilization, and embryo transfer procedures.

The cost depends on medical treatment, IVF procedures, medications, surrogate compensation, pregnancy care, legal services, insurance and additional support required during the program. A personalised cost estimate is provided after consultation.

Additional expenses may arise if extra IVF cycles, genetic testing, specialised medical care, a caesarean delivery or other services are required. All expected costs and possible additional expenses should be explained before the program begins.

Yes, legal coordination can be provided to help prepare the necessary agreements and documents. Surrogacy laws vary by country and individual circumstances, so intended parents should receive advice from a qualified surrogacy lawyer.

 

Eligibility & preservation

IVF may help individuals or couples experiencing infertility due to age, ovulation disorders, male infertility, blocked fallopian tubes, or unexplained fertility issues.

Treatment recommendations depend on reproductive health and medical evaluation, although fertility naturally declines with age.

Patients usually complete hormone testing, ultrasound examinations, sperm analysis, and infectious disease screening before treatment begins.

Healthy habits such as balanced nutrition, avoiding smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and managing stress may improve fertility outcomes.

Yes. IVF can be an effective family-building option for single women and same-sex couples with the support of donor or surrogacy services if needed.

Surrogacy may be suitable for individuals or couples who cannot safely carry a pregnancy, have experienced repeated pregnancy loss, have had unsuccessful fertility treatments or have a medical condition affecting the uterus or pregnancy.

The intended parents and surrogate may need fertility evaluations, blood tests, infectious-disease screening, genetic testing and psychological consultations. The exact examinations depend on the treatment plan and medical history.

Yes. Depending on the intended parents’ circumstances, embryos may be created using their own eggs and sperm or with donor eggs, donor sperm or both

Aftercare & results

Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours, though heavy physical activity should be avoided for a short period.

Success rates depend on factors such as age, embryo quality, fertility history, and overall reproductive health.

A pregnancy blood test is usually recommended 10–14 days after embryo transfer for accurate results.

Some patients may experience mild bloating, cramping, fatigue, or mood changes due to fertility medications and hormonal changes.

If an IVF cycle is unsuccessful, fertility specialists review the results and discuss next steps, which may include adjusting the treatment plan or using frozen embryos.
