One complete IVF or ICSI cycle takes approximately six to eight weeks. First, the normal menstruation cycle of the woman is down regulated by injection or nasal application of specific hormones each day. This part of the cycle can vary from a few days to several weeks. When the ovaries have become inactive, shown on ultrasound control and laboratory findings, the stimulation of the ovaries start by muscular or subcutaneous injections of hormones.

IVF and ICSI treatment should not be considered to be a single treatment solution. Patients should be prepared to go through at least 3 to 4 cycles to give themselves a fair chance of becoming pregnant as the likelihood of conception is cumulative. For example, with 4 treatment cycles, the chance of getting pregnant is about 70 %.

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is the scientific name given to the process with is used to conceive a child outside the body. During the IVF process, an egg is removed from the woman’s ovary and is then fertilised with her partner’s sperm.

IVF is the common acronym for In-Vitro Fertilization, a frequently used conception practice when there are certain issues with the reproductive health of the mother, father, or both. IVF is simply the uniting of egg and sperm in vitro (in the lab). Subsequently the embryos are transferred into the uterus through the cervix and pregnancy is allowed to begin. The process is done in conjunction with ovulation induction through drugs, monitoring of hormone levels and follicle scans with ultrasound.

On the morning of surgery, you will be instructed to take some of your regular medications with just a sip of water before you arrive at the hospital.
