In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is an advanced fertility treatment where eggs and sperm are brought together in a specialised lab to form embryos, which are then gently placed back into the woman’s uterus. IVF helps couples who have struggled to conceive naturally due to problems like blocked tubes, low sperm count, low AMH, or unexplained infertility. At BabyGen IVF, our aim is to combine international‑standard technology with compassionate care so that your fertility journey feels guided, transparent and hopeful.

IVF bypasses many barriers that stop natural conception. It can overcome blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, severe male factor infertility, ovulation problems, and cases where previous treatments like tablets or IUI have failed. Because we can directly see eggs, sperm and embryos, IVF also gives more information about where the problem may be, helping us individualise treatment for you.
Your doctor may suggest IVF if:
Women may need IVF due to problems with:
IVF allows us to bypass tubal issues, control ovulation with medicines, and still give a chance when egg numbers are low.
Men may need IVF/ICSI when semen analysis shows very low count, poor motility or abnormal forms, or when sperm DNA damage is high. In such cases, we often use ICSI, where a single healthy‑looking sperm is injected directly into the egg to maximise fertilisation chances.
If you have already tried IUI or even IVF in the past, a detailed review of your reports, embryos, medicines and lab conditions can help plan a better, tailored protocol. At BabyGen IVF, special attention is given to recurrent IVF failure cases, looking at both embryo and uterine factors.
Fertility declines after 35 and more sharply after 38–40. IVF offers a realistic chance even at higher ages, and egg/embryo freezing can help women who wish to plan pregnancy later due to career, personal or medical reasons.
Before starting IVF, we do a complete evaluation: history, physical examination, ultrasound, hormone tests, AMH, and semen analysis. This helps us select the right protocol, dose of injections and any additional procedures required. You will also have counselling where your doctor explains the plan, success expectations and timeline.
You will take daily fertility injections for around 9–12 days to stimulate the ovaries to grow multiple eggs instead of just one. These injections are usually taken at home and are given under the skin with fine needles.
During stimulation, you will visit the clinic every few days for ultrasound scans and sometimes blood tests. We track the number and size of follicles and adjust your injection dose to reduce risks and optimise egg quality.
When the follicles reach the desired size, a trigger injection is given, and egg retrieval is scheduled about 34–36 hours later. Egg retrieval is a short, 10–20 minute procedure done under light anaesthesia through the vagina, using ultrasound guidance. There are no cuts on the abdomen, and most women go home the same day.
On the day of egg retrieval, the male partner gives a semen sample, or frozen/surgical sperm is used if needed. The embryology team then processes the semen to select the best quality sperm for fertilisation.
In conventional IVF, thousands of sperm are placed around each egg in the lab dish. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into each mature egg. The fertilised eggs (zygotes) are then cultured in special incubators that maintain precise temperature, gases and pH.
Embryos are grown in the lab for 3–5 days. Some couples may have transfer on day 3, while others benefit from blastocyst transfer on day 5, where stronger embryos that reach the blastocyst stage are selected.
Embryo transfer is a simple, painless OPD procedure done without anaesthesia in most cases. A thin catheter is used to gently place the embryo into the uterus under ultrasound guidance. You can go home after a short rest.
After embryo transfer, hormonal support (tablets, injections or gels) is given to help implantation. Around 12–14 days later, a blood test (beta‑hCG) is done to confirm pregnancy, followed by an early pregnancy scan if positive.
IVF success is strongly linked to the woman’s age and egg quality. Younger women typically have higher success, while success gradually declines after the mid‑30s. Your doctor will discuss realistic chances for your age and clinical profile.
Good‑quality eggs and sperm are essential for healthy embryos. The uterine lining (endometrium) must be of adequate thickness and blood flow to allow implantation. Hormones, immune factors and uterine conditions like fibroids or polyps can also influence success.
Weight, smoking, alcohol, stress, sleep and nutrition all impact fertility and IVF outcomes. Reaching a healthy BMI, quitting smoking and reducing stress can improve your chances.
In selected cases, techniques like blastocyst transfer, laser assisted hatching, sperm DNA testing or preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) may be suggested. These add‑ons are not for everyone and are recommended only when there is clear benefit.
An IVF cycle typically includes consultations related to the cycle, ultrasound scans during stimulation, egg retrieval procedure, lab charges for fertilisation and embryo culture, and embryo transfer. The exact inclusions will be clearly listed in your estimate.
Usually, injections/medicines, extra procedures (like ICSI, laser hatching, blastocyst culture, sperm retrieval), donor programs and genetic tests are charged separately. Clarifying this upfront avoids any confusion later.
Cost can vary based on age, AMH level, response to injections, need for higher doses, use of ICSI, donor eggs/sperm, and whether advanced techniques or freezing are required. Couples with low AMH or repeated failures may need more individualised protocols.
Many couples prefer to pay in parts. You can offer EMI or phased payment options, along with transparent, cost‑effective packages that balance affordability with quality.
Differences in lab technology, seniority of doctors, quality of media and consumables, and location costs all influence the package. It is important to compare not just price, but also lab standards, experience and transparency.
BabyGen IVF is led by an experienced IVF specialist with many years of focused fertility practice and thousands of IVF babies to her credit. This depth of experience means your protocol is not “one size fits all” but tailored to your unique situation.
Our IVF lab uses modern incubators, high‑quality culture media and advanced techniques like blastocyst culture, laser assisted hatching and ICSI where appropriate. Strict quality control ensures a stable, embryo‑friendly environment.
We believe in clear communication about success rates, costs, and realistic expectations. Every step of your treatment is explained, and all decisions are taken together with you.
We aim to offer cost‑effective IVF without compromising on safety or technology. Transparent package structures help you plan better, with no hidden surprises.
Most women report discomfort rather than pain. Injections use very fine needles, and egg retrieval is done under anaesthesia so you do not feel the procedure. Mild cramping afterwards is common but manageable.
Some couples conceive in the first cycle; others may need more than one attempt. The number of embryos, age, diagnosis and budget all influence how many cycles are realistic.
No treatment can guarantee pregnancy, but IVF offers the highest success rates among fertility treatments for many conditions. Honest discussion of probabilities helps you plan emotionally and financially.
Biologically, the earlier the better, especially before 35, but many women successfully undergo IVF in their late 30s and early 40s. Your doctor will personalise advice based on your tests.
Conditions like thyroid disease, diabetes or high blood pressure need to be optimally controlled before and during IVF. With proper medical management, many women with such conditions can safely undergo IVF.
