Consultation & evaluation
Review both partners where relevant, previous reports, medical history and the reasons IVF is being considered.
IVF TREATMENT · MAKHIJA IVF
Understand IVF before beginning the journey
IVF is not one single procedure. It is a connected clinical and laboratory pathway that begins with evaluation and can include ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo development, embryo transfer and follow-up.

BEFORE IVF
The first question is not “Can we do IVF?” but “Is IVF the right next step?”
IVF may be discussed in different fertility situations, but the reason for recommending it matters. A treatment plan should be based on the couple's evaluation, age, reproductive history, previous treatment and other clinically relevant factors.

THE IVF JOURNEY
Seven stages patients should understand
The exact protocol can differ between patients and cycles. These stages explain the broad pathway so that appointments, medications and laboratory decisions are easier to follow.
Ovarian stimulation & monitoring
Medication and monitoring are individualised. The clinical team tracks response and adjusts the plan when needed.
Egg retrieval
When appropriate, mature eggs are collected after the planned trigger and monitoring stage.
Sperm preparation
A semen sample is prepared for fertilisation. The laboratory method depends on the treatment plan and findings.
Fertilisation
Eggs and sperm are brought together using conventional IVF fertilisation or ICSI when clinically indicated.
Embryo development
The embryology team observes fertilisation and embryo development before the next clinical decision.
Transfer & follow-up
An embryo may be transferred when appropriate, with follow-up and pregnancy testing planned by the treating team.
IVF & ICSI
IVF and ICSI are related—but they are not the same
IVF describes the assisted-reproduction cycle. ICSI is one laboratory fertilisation technique that may be used within an IVF cycle when clinically appropriate.
Eggs and prepared sperm are placed together
The laboratory allows fertilisation to occur without injecting a sperm directly into the egg. Whether this approach is suitable depends on the treatment plan and laboratory assessment.

ICSI may be discussed for selected clinical or laboratory indications. It should not be presented as automatically better for every IVF patient.
Understand ICSI
EMBRYOLOGY & IVF LAB
The laboratory is central to the IVF journey
After egg retrieval, important parts of the IVF pathway move into the embryology laboratory. Fertilisation method, embryo culture, laboratory observations and communication with the clinical team all matter.
SAFETY & PREPARATION
Know what to discuss before the cycle begins
IVF is a medical treatment and individual risks vary. Your team should explain the medication plan, monitoring, procedure-related considerations, embryo-transfer approach and what symptoms or questions should prompt contact with the clinic.
DECISIONS AROUND IVF
Cost and success rates need context
Two patients can have different medication needs, laboratory procedures and treatment plans. Likewise, a single success-rate percentage is difficult to interpret without knowing the age group, treatment type, denominator and outcome being reported.
COST GUIDANCE
Understand what may affect an IVF estimate
Review treatment-plan, medication and laboratory factors before asking for a current written estimate.
Explore IVF costs OUTCOMESDo not judge IVF by one percentage
Age, patient population, fresh or frozen transfer, denominator and outcome definition can change how a rate should be understood.
