Common questions about IVF treatment at Femcare Fertility
IVF, or in vitro fertilisation, is an assisted reproductive technology where a female’s ovaries are stimulated with the help of stimulation injection or medication to produce multiple eggs, followed by the retrieval of eggs from the ovaries and fertilisation in the laboratory with sperm. The fertilised eggs are kept in a controlled environment for the next 5-6 days to create embryos. These embryos are then transferred to the female’s uterus to achieve pregnancy.
The IVF treatment cost typically ranges from 1.25 Lakh to 2.75 Lakh. The final treatment cost depends on the couple’s needs or clinical factors. Additional procedures or treatment options like ICSI, PGTA, ERA, Donor egg or Donor sperm, etc., can further increase the total cost. So, before finalising the IVF treatment at a center, you should ask for the detailed breakup of the treatment cycles, including all the inclusions and additional procedures required. We, at Femcare Fertility Pune, value price transparency with price affordability. Our financial counselling team will explain everything in detail so that you can make your decision without burning a hole in your pocket.
The IVF treatment cycle costs between 1.2 Lakh to 2.5 Lakh. This typically involves Ovarian stimulation medications, frequent appointments and scans, Egg retrieval procedure, fertilisation in a lab, and embryo transfer. A lot of times, additional procedures like ICSI, Donor egg or sperm, etc, are required based on the clinical factors, and that can increase the total treatment cost. At Femcare Fertility Kolkata, they provide the most affordable and transparent IVF treatment cycle. They also provide no-cost EMI options to help you complete the treatment without worrying about a one-time payment burden.

The number of IVF cycles required for a successful pregnancy varies, factors like age, cause of infertility, uterus size, AMH level, etc., directly impact the number of cycles needed. Most women can successfully conceive within 3 IVF cycles, but many women have been able to conceive during their first IVF cycle only. So before choosing any IVF center for your treatment, check their success rate, doctors and the embryologist team. Femcare Fertility has the best IVF specialist doctors and embryology team, and has provided successful IVF treatment to most of its patients.
The IVF treatment involves hormonal injections and medication, so during the IVF cycle, a woman may face some temporary side effects like bloating, mild headaches, light pain and bruises around the area of injection, mood swings, and breast tenderness. Most IVF centers continuously do a regular checkup to track the follicle development and avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can sometimes be a serious problem. Other risks include multiple pregnancies, bleeding and infection during the egg retrieval procedure. A couple should discuss all the risks and side effects with the doctor before starting the IVF treatment. At Femcare Fertility, they prefer patient health more than anything else. They educate the patient about all the side effects and risks that can arise beforehand so that the patient can take the IVF treatment without worrying.
The possibility of having twins during IVF treatment is much higher than with a natural pregnancy. During the IVF treatment’s embryo transfer phase, the infertility specialist usually transfers more than one embryo to increase the chances of successful implantation of at least one embryo, but in 20%-30% cases, both embryos get implanted, and that results in multiple pregnancies. As per the latest ART law guidelines, doctors are not allowed to transfer more than 2 embryos. At Femcare Fertility, we use the elective single embryo transfer (eSET) technique to reduce the chances of twin pregnancies significantly.
Femcare Fertility provides the most affordable infertility treatment options like IVF, ICSI, Donor treatments, etc., with the no-cost EMI option to help patients fulfil their dream of becoming parents without financial burden.
Conceiving naturally depends on many factors like the female’s age, AMH level, egg quality, male partner’s sperm quality, other lifestyle and health conditions, etc. Natural pregnancy can be achieved with a low AMH value, but you should definitely consider consulting an infertility specialist before wasting too much time trying to conceive. IVF is the most promising infertility treatment, but other infertility treatments, like IUI, can also be tried for women of a young age, a healthy lifestyle and regular periods. Femcare Fertility provides free consultation with an infertility specialist, free semen analysis for your partner to help couples understand their reproductive health, so that the couples can confidently start their journey towards parenthood.
Yes, you can become pregnant even after 40 years of age. As per studies, after the age of 35 years, the egg quality and quantity both start decreasing drastically, so conceiving naturally has very little probability and can be challenging at this advanced age, and it can also pose some serious health issues for you and your baby. But IVF treatment can help you conceive, and with the availability of advanced tests, the health complications and genetic abnormalities can be detected in the early days. Femcare Fertility has been able to help women conceive a healthy baby at their advanced age as well. Don’t wait any longer, and consult with infertility specialists at Femcare Fertility today to start your journey.
Many reasons can cause an IVF treatment failure. Due to reasons like poor egg quality or poor sperm quality, embryo formation can fail, and that’s considered IVF failure. If the doctors were able to create the embryos, then other reasons like poor embryo quality, low uterine receptivity, thin endometrial lining, immunological rejection (the immune system treating the embryo as a foreign body and rejecting it), and other factors like advanced age, lifestyle, stress, or underlying health conditions can result in IVF failure. At Femcare Fertility, infertility specialists keep track of all the things that can go wrong and result in failure, so that timely correction can be done and you can have a healthy pregnancy.

Before starting an IVF treatment, the IVF doctor does some initial checkups and blood tests to assess the reproductive health of both partners. The female partner is suggested the following checkups: AMH blood test, Hormonal profiles like follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin, Ultrasound scan to check the uterine health, Viral marker tests like VDRL, HIV, Hepatitis B (HBsAg), and Hepatitis C (Anti-HCV), Sometimes an HCG test is also recommended to check the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. The male partner is suggested the following checkups: Semen analysis, Viral marker tests like VDRL, HIV, Hepatitis B (HBsAg), and Hepatitis C (Anti-HCV)
An IVF cycle can fail due to multiple reasons. If your IVF treatment has failed, then the first thing that you should do is consult with your infertility doctor to review and discuss the reasons for the IVF cycle failure. In most cases, doctors suggest taking a physical and emotional break. Postbreak, you can discuss and plan the next step to either start a new IVF cycle with treatment plan adjustments as per your needs, doing more tests or considering an alternative treatment. If your IVF treatment has failed, then consider visiting Femcare Fertility for a second opinion. Femcare Fertility has been the frontrunner in providing successful IVF treatment to its patients. They have one of the highest success rates in IVF treatment. Contact Femcare Fertility and book your free consultation before it’s too late.
Yes, getting a baby boy through IVF treatment is possible in countries where it is allowed. In India, gender selection for any non-medical reason is illegal under the PCPNDT Act. In countries where it is legal, the process uses Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to identify the gender of embryos, including their sex chromosomes (XX for female, XY for male), and only male embryos are transferred to the uterus.
Genetic abnormality and IVF treatment have a very controversial relationship. Some studies found no relation between IVF and birth defects, while some suggested that the risk of genetic defects slightly increases in IVF treatment. The increased risk can also be associated with underlying infertility problems in the couple, because during studies, the same genetic abnormalities were also found during other infertility treatments as well. In IVF treatment, tests like preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) and diagnosis (PGD) can be used to identify and screen out embryos with chromosomal abnormalities, reducing the risk of birth defects.
Yes, IVF babies are as normal as naturally conceived babies. Research shows no major difference in the physical and mental development of IVF babies compared to naturally conceived babies. During an IVF pregnancy, some complications can arise, like premature birth, but that can be associated with the underlying infertility problem, which can be avoided with proper prenatal care and proper checkups with your doctor.
Yes, some health insurance plans include IVF treatment in their insurance coverage, but it is not standard and depends on the insurance policy. A majority of traditional insurance policies do not include it in their coverage, but due to the rise in infertility issues and acceptance of IVF treatment, insurance providers have started including IVF in their coverage with some additional premium. You should carefully review and examine the policy before purchasing any new policy to understand the limitations, exclusions and inclusions. For the first time in the IVF industry, Femcare Fertility has introduced cashless IVF treatment for patients whose health insurance policy covers the IVF treatment. Contact Femcare Fertility to know more.
The timeline of a complete IVF treatment cycle depends on many things. Usually, in the case of a fresh embryo transfer IVF cycle, the treatment is completed in 6-8 weeks from the start of ovarian stimulation to a pregnancy test. But now these days, most of the IVF centers prefer a frozen embryo transfer cycle, in which embryos are frozen for some time, as it gives the infertility doctor time to work on the female’s overall health, improve the uterine lining, and perform infertility enhancement procedures like hysteroscopy or laparoscopy so that the chances of IVF success can be increased.
No, you do not need complete bed rest during your IVF treatment. The belief of complete bed rest during the IVF cycle and after embryo transfer is a common misconception. You should discuss all the dos and don’ts with your infertility consultant.
Post embryo transfer, you should avoid heavy lifting, workouts like running, jogging, hiking, etc., and a heated environment like hot baths for at least 48 hours. However, gentle movement is encouraged as it can improve blood circulation. You should minimise physical and mental strain and stay positive.
Endometrial platelet-rich plasma is a fertility treatment in which a patient’s own concentrated platelets are injected into the uterine lining (endometrial) to increase its thickness, receptivity for embryo implantation. It promotes tissue regeneration and blood flow in the endometrium. This procedure is used in women who have a thin uterine lining or face recurrent failed embryo implantation during IVF. To know more, contact or visit Femcare Fertility.
Ovarian platelet-rich plasma is a procedure done during an IVF treatment where a patient’s concentrated platelets are injected into the ovaries to improve the egg quality and quantity. This procedure is performed for women with low ovarian reserve or poor egg quality to stimulate follicle growth, ultimately leading to better IVF outcomes.
The ERA (Endometrial Receptivity Array) test analyses the uterine lining to find the most receptive time window of implantation for the embryo to optimise the timing of your next embryo transfer. This test is suggested for a female with one or more failed embryo transfers. This personalised approach can increase the chances of a successful IVF cycle. If your past IVF cycles have failed, then contact Femcare Fertility to get the most personalized IVF treatment and get the best treatment to fulfil your dream of parenthood.
It is common to feel bloated during IVF treatment. It happens due to the hormonal stimulation, causing your ovaries to enlarge, potential fluid retention in the body, which can temporarily increase your body weight and gas buildup due to the slowdown of your digestive system. These are the most common symptoms during an IVF treatment. During your IVF treatment, you should stay hydrated, eat small meals, and include more fibre in your diet to reduce bloating caused by constipation. If the symptoms worsen, contact your doctor.
A good infertility specialist plays the most important part in your infertility treatment journey. In India, the most qualified doctor to treat infertility should be a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) or a specialist in reproductive medicine. They should have the MBBS and MS or MD degrees, where MD is a doctorate, while the MS is a master's degree. Another qualification can be MCh. MCh in Reproductive Medicine is a super-speciality postgraduate medical degree in India that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of reproductive problems, including infertility.
