For couples trying to have a baby but facing challenges, there’s a special treatment called in vitro fertilization (IVF). This blog delves into the detailed process of IVF, the steps involved, success rates, and the duration of the treatment journey.
Furthermore, it explores avenues for IVF treatment in Nepal, where advanced medical expertise meets compassionate care to support couples on their journey to parenthood.
The IVF process typically lasts about 6-8 weeks. It includes meeting with a doctor, taking medications to stimulate egg production, retrieving the eggs, fertilizing them, transferring the embryos, and monitoring if pregnancy occurs. The pregnancy test is usually done 5 days after embryo implantation. Keep in mind that IVF experiences can vary, and it might take more than one cycle to achieve pregnancy.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of each IVF stage:
Evaluation of the couple’s medical history to identify infertility causes.

After your eggs mature, we’ll schedule a simple surgical procedure under light anesthesia for egg retrieval.
A thin needle guided by ultrasound will be used to retrieve eggs from the follicles( fluid-filled sacs) in your ovaries.
On the same day, your partner will provide a semen sample for fertilization. In some cases, if sperm collection through ejaculation is not possible, sperm retrieval techniques like testicular aspiration or surgical sperm extraction (TESE) might be considered.
The Fertilization Process: this is the stage where eggs and sperm meet to create an embryo, which happens within a carefully controlled laboratory environment.
There are two main methods used to achieve fertilization during IVF:
In conventional fertilization methods, collected Sperm and eggs are combined in a vitro(in glass or test tube) to achieve natural fertilization.
In the ICSI process, single selected sperm is directly injected into a mature egg using a microscopic technique for increased fertilization rates.
Over the next 1-3 days following insemination, embryologists closely monitor the fertilized eggs (now called embryos) for cell division and development.
If fertilization is successful, we’ll choose the healthiest embryos with the best chance of implantation for transfer.
We might use medications to prepare the lining of your uterus for optimal embryo implantation.
A thin, flexible catheter is inserted through the cervix (opening of the uterus) to gently place the chosen embryo(s) into your uterus. This is a painless procedure, often performed with minimal sedation or none at all.
Progesterone supplements may be prescribed to mimic the natural hormone environment and support the early stages of pregnancy after embryo transfer.
A blood test will detect the presence of a pregnancy hormone (hCG) to confirm successful implantation and pregnancy.
