A careful, gentle treatment to help parents have a baby.
Book AppointmentIVF is a way to help a baby start growing. A tiny egg from the mother and tiny sperm from the father are gently put together in a clean lab so they can join and make the first start of a baby (called an embryo). Then the embryo is softly placed inside the mother’s tummy (uterus).
Sometimes doctors let the egg and sperm meet on their own. Sometimes they help by putting one strong sperm inside the egg. Doctors choose the best way after checking health and reports.
Experts keep the egg and sperm warm and safe, like inside the body.
The joined egg and sperm grow for 3–5 days before choosing the best one.
Doctors make a simple plan and take care at every step.
IVF happens in a few easy steps. The timing can change for each family, so doctors guide the days and doses.
Some tests happen. Then simple daily medicines help the mother make a few eggs.
A short, sleepy-time procedure gently collects the eggs. Most people feel okay after rest.
Egg and sperm meet in the lab to make embryos. The team checks them the next day.
A soft, thin tube places one embryo into the uterus. It’s quick and gentle.
Simple timeline: 8–14 days of medicine → egg pickup → 3–5 days embryo growth → embryo transfer → pregnancy test in ~14 days.
IVF can help when tubes are blocked, sperm is low, periods are irregular, or other tries did not work. The plan is made just for each family.
Injections can feel like a small pinch. Egg pickup is done with sleep medicine, so pain is small and short.
One cycle takes a few weeks from medicines to the test. Sometimes more than one cycle is needed.
A blood test is usually done about 14 days after the embryo is placed.
IVF is used all over the world. Doctors watch closely to keep it safe and calm.
