In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the most effective treatments for overcoming infertility, offering hope to couples and individuals who have struggled to conceive naturally. At Health & Heaven, we provide comprehensive IVF services tailored to your unique needs, utilizing cutting-edge technology and the expertise of top fertility specialists. Our services cover every aspect of the IVF process, from initial consultations to embryo transfer, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience.
Standard IVF involves the retrieval of eggs and sperm, fertilization in a laboratory setting, and the transfer of the resulting embryo(s) to the uterus. This process is ideal for couples facing various fertility challenges, including blocked fallopian tubes, male infertility, or unexplained infertility.
ICSI is a specialized IVF procedure where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This technique is particularly effective for overcoming severe male infertility issues such as low sperm count or poor sperm motility.
PGT is used in conjunction with IVF to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before they are transferred to the uterus. This testing can help reduce the risk of genetic disorders and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Donor Egg IVF involves the use of eggs from a donor when the female partner’s eggs are not viable for conception. The donor eggs are fertilized with the partner’s or a donor’s sperm, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus.
This service uses donor sperm for fertilization in cases where the male partner’s sperm is not viable or there is no male partner. The donor sperm can be used in standard IVF or ICSI procedures.
Egg freezing allows women to preserve their fertility by retrieving and freezing eggs for future use. This service is ideal for women who are not ready to conceive but want to ensure they have viable eggs available when the time is right.
After successful fertilization, surplus embryos can be frozen for future IVF cycles. This allows couples to undergo multiple embryo transfers from a single egg retrieval, reducing the need for repeated ovarian stimulation.
Surrogacy involves using a surrogate mother to carry and deliver a child for another person or couple. This service is available when carrying a pregnancy is not an option due to medical reasons
Natural Cycle IVF involves the retrieval of a single egg during a woman’s natural menstrual cycle without the use of fertility drugs. This approach is less invasive and is ideal for women who respond poorly to hormonal stimulation or prefer a more natural approach.
Fertility preservation services, including egg, sperm, and embryo freezing, are offered to individuals who wish to preserve their fertility due to medical treatments (such as chemotherapy) or other personal reasons.
IVF is suitable for those with blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, low sperm count or motility, unexplained infertility, and genetic disorders. Women with ovulation disorders or endometriosis may also benefit. Age is a significant factor, as success rates decrease after age 35.
The IVF process includes ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, sperm collection, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. After the transfer, a pregnancy test is done two weeks later to determine success.
The IVF process typically takes about 4-6 weeks from ovarian stimulation to the pregnancy test, with variations depending on individual circumstances and treatment protocols.
Success rates vary based on factors like age, cause of infertility, and clinic expertise. Generally, younger women have higher success rates, with a significant drop after age 40.
IVF risks include multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), ectopic pregnancy, potential birth defects, emotional stress, and financial costs.
Embryo transfer is quick and usually painless, involving the insertion of a catheter through the cervix to place embryos into the uterus. Patients can typically resume normal activities shortly after.
