Infertility is the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse.

It affects 10-15% of couples worldwide.

“Primary infertility: Difficulty conceiving with no prior pregnancies. Secondary infertility: Difficulty conceiving after having one or more children.”

“Ovulation disorders (e.g., PCOS, premature ovarian insufficiency) Fallopian tube abnormalities (e.g., blockage, scarring) Uterine conditions (e.g., fibroids, endometrial polyps) Endometriosis Age-related decline in egg quantity and quality”

Low sperm count (oligospermia)
Poor sperm motility (asthenospermia)
Abnormal sperm morphology (teratospermia)
Hormonal imbalances
Genetic conditions (e.g., Klinefelter syndrome, Y chromosome microdeletions)
Testicular problems (e.g., varicocele, undescended testes)
Lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, alcohol, obesity, toxins)

When both partners contribute to infertility.

When no identifiable cause is found despite thorough testing (15-30% of cases).

Hormonal tests (FSH, LH, AMH, prolactin, TSH)
Ultrasound to evaluate ovaries and uterus
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) to check fallopian tubes

Semen analysis (sperm count, motility, morphology)
Hormonal testing (testosterone, FSH, LH)
Scrotal ultrasound to check for varicocele or abnormalities

Genetic testing Infection screening (e.g., STDs)

Yes, body weight can impact hormone levels and ovulation. A balanced diet and healthy weight improve fertility.

Stress alone does not cause infertility, but chronic stress can affect hormone balance and reproductive function.

Yes, intense physical activity (especially for women) can disrupt ovulation, while moderate exercise supports reproductive health.

Both reduce sperm and egg quality and increase the risk of miscarriage and failed implantation.

A healthy diet supports fertility, but there’s no single food or herb that guarantees pregnancy.

No, 40-50% of infertility cases are due to male factors, such as low sperm count, poor motility, or DNA fragmentation.

Yes, surgeries like appendectomy, fibroid removal, or C-sections can cause scar tissue that affects fertility.

PCOS leads to irregular ovulation, hormonal imbalances, and insulin resistance, making conception difficult.

Yes, both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can affect ovulation and sperm production, leading to infertility.

Endometriosis is when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, which can block fallopian tubes and lower egg quality.

No, past abortions or contraceptives do not directly cause infertility, unless there were complications leading to uterine scarring.

No, there are several treatments, including IUI, ovulation induction, donor options, and lifestyle changes, depending on the case.

Ovulation induction
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Donor eggs, sperm, or embryos

Some causes of infertility can be treated with medications or surgery. If not, IVF or other assisted reproductive methods can help achieve pregnancy.

Yes, fertility declines after age 35, leading to fewer and lower-quality eggs.

Cryopreservation is the freezing of eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use. It helps preserve fertility for individuals undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy.

If under 35 years, after 1 year of trying naturally. If 35 or older, after 6 months of trying. If you have known fertility issues (PCOS, endometriosis, male infertility).

Infertility can result from issues affecting either partner. Some common causes include:

Women: Ovulation disorders (PCOS, thyroid issues), blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, age-related decline in egg quality.
Men: Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm shape.
Both: Unexplained infertility, lifestyle factors (smoking, obesity, stress).

Yes, women with low AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) can still conceive, but it may be more challenging. Low AMH indicates a reduced ovarian reserve, meaning fewer eggs are available for fertilization. However, IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART) can improve the chances of pregnancy by using fertility medications to stimulate egg production. In some cases, donor eggs may be an option.

40-50% of infertility cases are due to male factors. Helps identify low sperm count, poor motility, DNA damage, or hormonal imbalances. Guides the right treatment options like IUI, IVF, or ICSI.

To ensure optimal sperm concentration and motility in the sample.

Semen analysis (checks sperm count, motility, and shape) Hormone tests (FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin) Sperm DNA fragmentation test (assesses genetic integrity of sperm)

Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants Avoid smoking, alcohol, and excessive caffeine Maintain a healthy weight Reduce stress and exposure to toxins Get regular exercise.

No—regular ejaculation keeps sperm healthy, but for IVF/IUI, doctors recommend 2-5 days of abstinence before giving a sample.

Yes, sperm quality declines after 40 years, increasing the risk of genetic abnormalities and infertility.

Yes, chronic stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and reduced sperm production.

Yes, diabetes can cause low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, and sperm DNA damage.

Sperm takes about 70-90 days to regenerate, so lifestyle changes should be maintained for at least 3 months for visible improvement.

Men with azoospermia (nil sperm count) can still father a child using advanced techniques like:

TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration): A needle is used to extract sperm directly from the testicles.
TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction): A small tissue sample is taken from the testicles to retrieve sperm.
If viable sperm is found, it can be used for ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization.

OI is a fertility treatment that uses medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce and release eggs in women with irregular or absent ovulation.

TIC involves planning sexual intercourse around the woman’s most fertile days to increase the chances of conception.

Women with irregular or absent periods
Couples with mild infertility issues
Partners with normal sperm health

The best-suited age group is 20-30 years, as women are most fertile during this period, leading to higher success rates.

Step 1: Take prescribed medications to stimulate egg production.

Step 2: Undergo ultrasound scans to monitor egg growth.

Step 3: Receive a trigger injection to release the egg.

Step 4: Have intercourse at the right time for conception.

Ultrasound scans to check egg size. Tracking your body’s response to medications. Ensuring the uterus is ready for pregnancy.

The fertile window is the period in a woman’s cycle when pregnancy is most likely, typically 5-7 days leading up to and including ovulation.

Ovulation typically happens around day 14 in a 28-day cycle, but this can vary based on individual cycle length.

Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days. Eggs remain viable for fertilization for about 24 hours after ovulation.

The success rate varies based on age and health but generally ranges from 10-20% per cycle.

It may take multiple cycles to achieve pregnancy. Patience and consistent monitoring are key.

Yes, OI can sometimes lead to the release of more than one egg, increasing the chance of twins.

If OI-TIC is unsuccessful after multiple cycles, other fertility treatments like IUI or IVF may be recommended.

Yes, it is one of the most affordable treatments for mild infertility.

IUI is a fertility treatment where washed and concentrated sperm are placed directly into the uterus around ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilization.

By placing sperm closer to the egg, IUI bypasses potential barriers like cervical mucus issues and mild sperm motility problems.

No. IUI is less invasive than IVF and does not involve retrieving eggs or fertilizing them outside the body.

– Women under 40 years old
– Women with regular ovulation or those responding to medications
– At least one open fallopian tube (confirmed via HSG)
– No major uterine abnormalities (e.g., fibroids, severe adhesions)
– Men with mild to moderate sperm issues (not severe male infertility)

– Couples with unexplained infertility
– Women with ovulatory disorders like PCOS
– Cases of mild to moderate male factor infertility
– Women with cervical factor infertility
– Women using donor sperm

– Women with blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
– Severe endometriosis
– Women with low ovarian reserve (high FSH, low AMH)
– Severe male factor infertility (very low count, poor motility)
– Those with repeated IUI failures (may require IVF)

Day 1: Start of menstrual cycle

Day 2-3: Ultrasound to check resting ovaries

Day 3-7: Medications or injections for follicle growth

Day 10-13: Monitoring of follicle growth via ultrasound

Day 13: Trigger shot to induce ovulation

Day 14-15: IUI procedure

Day 28: Pregnancy test

Egg production: Medications stimulate ovulation.
Monitoring: Ultrasounds track follicle development.
Sperm washing: Best-quality sperm is separated for insemination.
Insemination: Washed sperm is inserted into the uterus using a thin tube.
Pregnancy test: Done two weeks after the procedure.

IUI is a minimally invasive and mostly painless procedure. Some women may experience mild cramping similar to period pain.

Undergo regular ultrasounds. Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Follow prescribed medications carefully.

Abstain from ejaculation for 2-5 days before sperm collection Provide a fresh semen sample on the day of the procedure.

Rest for 10-15 minutes after the procedure. Avoid heavy exercise and lifting for 24-48 hours. Eat a balanced diet and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, and junk food. Wait 14-20 days before taking a pregnancy test.

Mild cramping or spotting. Slight bloating due to hormonal medications. Breast tenderness.

If experiencing severe pain or heavy bleeding. If having high fever. If there is severe bloating or difficulty breathing.

15-20% per attempt. Higher cumulative success rate with multiple cycles.

Age of the woman (higher success under 35). Cause of infertility. Quality of sperm. Number of follicles produced.

Generally, 3-6 cycles are recommended before considering IVF.

Yes, ovulation induction can lead to multiple eggs, increasing the chance of twins.

You can resume normal activities immediately, but it is advised to avoid heavy lifting or intense workouts for the first 24-48 hours.

A pregnancy test is done 14-20 days after the procedure to check for success.

It is generally recommended to wait at least 24-48 hours before resuming sexual activity to allow the sperm to reach the egg and for the uterus to settle.

No, having intercourse after IUI does not negatively impact the chances of pregnancy unless advised otherwise due to medical reasons like cramping, spotting, or uterine sensitivity.

IUI with donor sperm is a fertility treatment where specially selected and prepared donor sperm is inserted directly into the uterus to increase the chances of pregnancy.

Couples with severe male infertility (low or absent sperm count). Men with genetic disorders that could be passed to the child.

Donor sperm is obtained from certified sperm banks that rigorously screen donors for genetic, medical, and infectious diseases.

Yes. Donors undergo extensive screening for genetic conditions, infections (including HIV, Hepatitis), and sperm quality to ensure the highest safety standards.

Good sperm count, motility, and morphology. No history of genetic or hereditary diseases. Negative screening for infections Healthy physical and psychological profile.

Yes, sperm donors remain anonymous.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is a process where eggs and sperm are combined in a lab to create embryos, which are then transferred to the uterus for pregnancy.

IVF is recommended if:

– Other fertility treatments have failed.
– Fallopian tubes are blocked.
– Male infertility (low sperm count or motility) is present.
– Unexplained infertility has lasted for a long time.
– The woman is older and has reduced egg quality.

Your doctor will determine the best time based on your medical history and test results. IVF usually begins on the 2nd or 3rd day of your menstrual cycle.

Before starting IVF, you and your partner will undergo:

– Ovarian reserve testing (AMH blood test, ultrasound)
– Semen analysis (sperm count, motility, shape)
– Infectious disease screening (HIV, Hepatitis B & C, syphilis)
– Uterine cavity evaluation (ultrasound, hysteroscopy if needed)
– Genetic testing (if indicated due to history of miscarriages or inherited diseases)

A full IVF cycle takes 4-6 weeks, including:

– Ovarian stimulation (10-14 days)
– Egg retrieval
– Fertilization
– Embryo transfer
– Pregnancy test (10-14 days later)

There is no set limit, but multiple attempts may be needed for success. The cost and emotional factors should be considered.

Yes, IVF is generally safe when done under expert supervision. The injections are not very painful, and procedures like egg retrieval are done under light sedation.

A typical IVF cycle takes about 4-6 weeks, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer, and waiting for pregnancy results.

– Ovarian stimulation – Hormonal injections stimulate egg production.
– Egg retrieval – Eggs are collected under sedation.
– Sperm collection & fertilization – The eggs are fertilized with sperm in the lab using IVF or ICSI.
– Embryo development – The fertilized eggs grow for 3-5 days.
– Embryo transfer – The best embryo(s) are placed in the uterus.
– Pregnancy test – Blood test is done 10-14 days later.

Fertility injections start on the second day of the period and should be taken at the same time every day.

Contact your doctor immediately to adjust the schedule. Missing an injection may affect follicle development, and adjustments may be needed.

Injections continue for 8-14 days, depending on ovarian response, followed by a trigger shot before egg retrieval.

The timing of egg retrieval is critical because eggs must be collected before ovulation. Late arrival may lead to missed or over-mature eggs, reducing success rates.

Not always. Some follicles may not contain eggs, or the eggs may be immature.

Not all eggs retrieved are mature. Only mature eggs can be fertilized, which is why the number of embryos may be lower than expected.

No, it is done under light sedation and takes about 5-10 minutes.

Sperm is usually collected through masturbation. If needed, sperm can be extracted directly from the testes (TESA/TESE).

Day 1: Fertilization check

Day 2-3: Embryos divide (4-8 cells)

Day 5-6: Best embryos reach the blastocyst stage and are ready for transfer or freezing.

In IVF, sperm is added to the eggs, and fertilization happens naturally. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into each egg (used in cases of male infertility).

The embryos are monitored for growth and development. The best-quality embryo is selected for transfer to the recipient’s uterus.

Slow embryo growth may affect implantation chances, and doctors may adjust treatment accordingly.

The recipient takes hormonal medications (estrogen and progesterone) to prepare the uterus for implantation.

Doctors check endometrial thickness (ideally 7-12mm) and hormone levels before transfer.

A thin catheter is used to place the embryo into the uterus. The procedure is quick, painless, and does not require anesthesia.

Usually, 1-2 embryos are transferred to avoid multiple pregnancies. More embryos may be transferred for older women.

The doctor may:
– Review implantation issues
– Adjust treatment protocols
– Recommend another cycle or alternative options

A beta hCG blood test is done 12-14 days after embryo transfer to confirm pregnancy.

They can be frozen for future use, donated, or discarded based on your decision.

No strict bed rest is required. You can resume light activities. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and stress. Eat a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and follow medication instructions.

You can return to work the next day if it does not involve heavy physical strain.

Yes, traveling is safe, but avoid bumpy rides and excessive physical stress.

– 15-20% per cycle with IUI
– 40-50% per cycle with IVF/ICSI
– 50-60% with donor eggs, embryo donation, or surrogacy
The cumulative success rate increases with multiple attempts.

If the beta hCG level is low, a second test is needed after 48 hours to check for a normal pregnancy.

Yes, ovarian stimulation can cause mild bloating or heaviness. If severe pain occurs, contact your doctor.

Yes, mild cramping is common due to implantation or progesterone medications.

It is best to avoid intercourse until the pregnancy test (about 15 days).

Eat a healthy diet. Avoid excessive red meat and certain fruits (like papaya and mango) if you are concerned.

Light walking is fine. Avoid heavy workouts, yoga with abdominal pressure, or vigorous activities.

A minimum 1-2 month gap is usually recommended to allow the body to recover.

Yes, IVF babies are just as healthy as naturally conceived babies.

No, gender selection is illegal in India and is a punishable offense under the PC-PNDT Act 1994.

– Maternal age (chances decline after 35)
– Embryo quality (better-quality embryos increase success)
– Sperm health (count, motility, and shape matter)
– Uterine health (a healthy uterus improves implantation chances)

– Ovarian stimulation drugs (FSH, LH) to produce multiple eggs
– Medications to prevent premature ovulation (Lupron, Cetrotide)
– Hormones to prepare the uterus (Progesterone, Estradiol)

A cycle may be canceled if:

– Not enough follicles develop
– Premature ovulation occurs (rare)
– Poor response to medications
If this happens, your doctor may adjust the protocol for your next cycle.

It’s best to avoid long travel immediately after embryo transfer but discuss with the doctor for personalized advice.

Before egg retrieval: Light exercise is fine. After embryo transfer: Avoid strenuous activities. Walking is allowed.

Avoid combining Ayurveda/Homeopathy with IVF medications as their effects are not well-studied. Acupuncture may be beneficial in some cases.

Yes, sleep in any comfortable position. The uterus is well-protected, and sleeping on your stomach will not harm the embryo.

No, but do it slowly and avoid excessive physical strain.

IVF can be performed up to 47-50 years if the woman is in good health. However, the success rate declines with age, and donor eggs may be recommended for better outcomes.

Hair color without ammonia is safe. Henna is safe. Tattoos should be done before IVF, not after embryo transfer.

Yes, some mild side effects can occur during and after IVF, including:

– Bloating and cramping (due to ovarian stimulation)
– Breast tenderness (caused by hormonal medications)
– Constipation or mild discomfort
– Mood swings (due to hormonal changes)
– Most side effects occur before egg retrieval and are temporary. Severe complications, like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), are rare but should be reported to your doctor.

The entire IVF cycle takes about 4-6 weeks, including:

– Ovarian stimulation – 10-14 days (hormonal injections to develop eggs)
– Egg retrieval – Performed under mild sedation
– Fertilization & embryo development – 3-5 days in the lab
– Embryo transfer – Done after 3-5 days of fertilization
– Pregnancy test – 10-14 days after embryo transfer

Yes, you can resume normal daily activities after embryo transfer. Even though an embryo is created outside the body in an IVF pregnancy, the implantation process remains the same as in a natural cycle. The uterus is designed to accept and nourish the embryo, whether fertilized naturally or through IVF. The embryo attaches securely to the uterine lining, and normal movements like walking, sitting, or doing light activities do not affect this process. It is a common misconception that strict bed rest after embryo transfer improves success rates. In reality, studies have shown that women who continue their routine activities have better outcomes than those who remain inactive. Staying engaged in daily tasks helps reduce stress, which is crucial for a positive IVF outcome. Therefore, complete bed rest after embryo transfer is unnecessary and does not increase the chances of pregnancy.

IVF is a costly procedure because it requires highly skilled medical professionals, advanced technology, and a well-equipped laboratory. The equipment and materials used in an IVF lab are often imported and come at a high cost. Additionally, most materials, such as culture media and lab instruments, are single-use and disposable to ensure the highest level of safety and success. The combination of specialized expertise, cutting-edge technology, and strict quality standards contributes to the overall expense of the treatment.

IVF is recommended when other fertility treatments have failed or when it offers a higher chance of success compared to other methods. It is commonly advised for conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes, severe male infertility, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility. If there are no medical contraindications, couples can also choose IVF based on their personal decision and family planning goals. Consulting a fertility specialist can help determine the best time to begin treatmentVF is recommended when other fertility treatments have failed or when it offers a higher chance of success compared to other methods.

If there are no medical contraindications, couples can also choose IVF based on their personal decision and family planning goals. Consulting a fertility specialist can help determine the best time to begin treatment.

We understand how difficult it is to experience an unsuccessful IVF cycle. It’s important to remember as we discussed before IVF does not guarantee success in a single attempt, and multiple cycles may be needed. Failure is not caused by daily activities such as eating out, traveling, or minor illnesses like a cold or fever. There are various medical reasons why an IVF cycle may not succeed, including poor egg or sperm quality, embryo abnormalities, or issues with the uterine lining. If your cycle was unsuccessful, it is best to schedule a follow-up consultation with your doctor after a week or more to discuss the possible reasons and plan the next steps.

A well-balanced diet is essential during IVF treatment. All vegetarian foods are allowed, and non-vegetarians should limit excessive consumption of red meat and eggs. Fruits and salads can be eaten freely, as they provide essential vitamins and antioxidants. It is best to avoid fasting until the pregnancy test. Chicken and fish can be consumed in moderation. While there is no scientific evidence, some people prefer to avoid mango and papaya after embryo transfer due to traditional beliefs. Eating fresh, home-cooked meals and staying hydrated will support overall health during treatment.

Success rates improve with multiple cycles, and most couples achieve pregnancy within three cycles. However, the number of cycles needed depends on factors like age, egg quality, and overall health.

Fresh embryo transfer: Performed in the same cycle as egg retrieval. Frozen embryo transfer (FET): Embryos are frozen and transferred in a later cycle. FET allows better uterine preparation and often results in higher success rates compared to fresh transfers.

Yes, some medications must be taken at precise times, including:

– Trigger injection (for egg maturation)
– Progesterone and estrogen supplements (for uterine lining support)
– Following the schedule exactly is crucial for IVF success.

The trigger injection contains hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) or GnRH agonists and is taken 36 hours before egg retrieval to mature the eggs.

Embryos can be frozen for several years, and studies show no difference in success rates between recently frozen and long-stored embryos.

No, frozen embryos maintain their quality for many years due to vitrification technology, which prevents damage during storage.

Typically, 4-5 visits are needed:

– Pre-IVF consultation and testing , in-between stimulation for scans
– Egg retrieval procedure
– Scan before embryo transfer, Embryo transfer

Success varies, but many couples conceive within 3 cycles. Doctors adjust protocols based on previous attempts.

If implantation does not occur, the doctor may recommend:

– Another IVF cycle with adjustments
– Frozen embryo transfer (if embryos were preserved)
– Additional testing (e.g., Endometrial Receptivity Analysis – ERA)

The doctor may:
– Adjust medications
– Consider a second stimulation cycle
– Suggest donor eggs

Yes, but most clinics now transfer only one embryo to reduce risks. Twin pregnancies are more likely with multiple embryo transfers.

It’s IVF without hormone stimulation, retrieving only the naturally developed egg. Success rates are lower than conventional IVF.

A test to identify the best time for embryo transfer based on the uterine lining’s receptivity. Recommended for women with repeated implantation failure.

A strategy where two ovarian stimulations are done within the same menstrual cycle. Helps women with low ovarian reserve get more eggs in less time.

Some insurance policies cover diagnostic tests, but most don’t cover full IVF treatment costs.

PGT is a procedure performed during IVF to test embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation, increasing the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

To identify genetically healthy embryos To reduce the risk of chromosomal disorders To increase IVF success rates To lower the chances of miscarriage.

PGT significantly reduces genetic risks but does not guarantee a completely healthy baby, as some conditions may arise after birth.

PGT-A (Aneuploidy): Detects extra or missing chromosomes (e.g., Down syndrome).
PGT-M (Monogenic Disorders): Screens for specific genetic diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia).
PGT-SR (Structural Rearrangements): Identifies chromosomal structural issues (e.g., translocations, inversions).

Couples with a family history of genetic disorders Women over 35 years (higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities) Couples with recurrent IVF failures or miscarriages Men with chromosomal abnormalities causing infertility Couples carrying inherited diseases.

Step 1: Eggs are retrieved and fertilized in the lab.
Step 2: A small number of cells are biopsied from embryos on Day 5 or 6.
Step 3: The cells are sent to a lab for genetic testing.
Step 4: Only healthy, genetically normal embryos are transferred into the uterus.

Yes, PGT is a safe procedure with minimal risk to embryo development.

Results typically take 2-3 weeks after embryo biopsy.

Reduces the risk of genetic diseases Increases IVF success rates Lowers the chances of miscarriage Helps in family planning for couples with known genetic risks.

By selecting the healthiest embryos, PGT increases implantation rates and reduces failed cycles.

No, PGT is recommended mainly for patients at risk of genetic disorders or recurrent IVF failures.

Yes, PGT adds additional testing and lab procedures, increasing the cost of IVF treatment.

The doctor may recommend:
– A new IVF cycle
– Egg donation
– Exploring alternative options

While PGT can identify the sex of embryos, gender selection is only allowed in specific medical cases where it prevents genetic disorders, in india it is not permitted to do so.

IVF with donor eggs is a fertility treatment where eggs from a healthy donor are fertilized with sperm in a lab and then implanted into the recipient’s uterus.

Women with poor egg quality or low ovarian reserve
Women over 40 years with decreased fertility
Those with genetic conditions they wish to avoid passing on
Women who have had repeated IVF failures
Women with premature ovarian failure

The main difference is that instead of using the intended mother’s eggs, eggs from a healthy donor are used, increasing the chances of pregnancy.

Donors are chosen based on medical history, genetics, and physical traits. They undergo extensive medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations.

Yes, all donors undergo comprehensive screening for infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and overall reproductive health.

Yes, intended parents can bring their own donor based on their preferences

Step 1: Donor selection and screening
Step 2: Fertilization of the donor’s eggs with sperm
Step 3: Preparation of the recipient’s uterus with hormonal treatments
Step 4: Embryo transfer to the recipient’s uterus

IVF with donor eggs has a higher success rate than standard IVF. The average success rate is 50-70% per cycle, depending on the recipient’s uterine health.

No, the baby will inherit the genes of the egg donor However, the baby carries the genes of the husband (sperm provider) and the wife (recipient) carries and nurtures the pregnancy.

The baby inherits genetics from the donor, but epigenetics (how genes are expressed) can be influenced by the mother.

Yes, all donor egg procedures follow strict ART laws to ensure ethical and legal compliance. Donors do not have parental rights over the child.

No, egg donation in India is anonymous. The recipient cannot know the donor’s identity, and vice versa.

Yes, once the embryo is transferred, the recipient (intended mother) is considered the legal mother, and the child has no genetic or legal ties to the donor.

Unused embryos can be frozen for future use. They cannot be donated or used for research without written consent from the intended parents.

IVF with donor sperm is a fertility treatment where a woman’s own eggs are fertilized with sperm from a donor, and the resulting embryo is transferred to her uterus.

Couples with severe male infertility (low or absent sperm count) Men with genetic disorders that they do not want to pass on.

Yes, under Indian ART laws, sperm donation is anonymous, meaning the recipient cannot know the identity of the donor.

Donors are chosen based on medical history, genetic screening, and physical characteristics. Donors must be between 21-50 years old. They must pass tests for HIV, Hepatitis, and other genetic conditions.

The donor sperm is washed and processed in a lab to select the best quality sperm for fertilization.

Step 1: Ovarian stimulation (hormonal injections for egg development)

Step 2: Egg retrieval from the woman’s ovaries

Step 3: Fertilization with donor sperm in a lab

Step 4: Embryo culture and development

Step 5: Embryo transfer to the uterus

Step 6: Pregnancy test after 12-14 days

Success rates depend on egg quality, uterine health, and donor sperm quality. Average success rate is 40-60% per cycle.

Yes, the baby will have your genetic material but will inherit the biological father’s genes from the donor sperm.

No, under ART law, sperm donors have no legal or parental rights over the child.

IVF with donor embryos is a fertility treatment where both the egg and sperm come from donors, and the resulting embryo is implanted into the recipient’s uterus.

Couples where both partners have infertility issues Women with low ovarian reserve and no suitable partner sperm Couples with genetic disorders on both sides Women who have had multiple failed IVF cycles

Donor eggs are fertilized with donor sperm in a lab. The embryos are monitored for quality and viability. The best embryo is transferred to the recipient’s uterus.

Donors must be psychologically and medically fit and free from infectious diseases. Genetic testing is done to rule out hereditary disorders.

You can specify preferences for physical traits and ethnicity. However, donor identities remain anonymous under ART law.

Success rates are 50-70% per cycle, depending on the recipient’s uterine health.

No, the baby will inherit the genes of both the egg and sperm donors, but you will carry the pregnancy and give birth.

No, donors have no parental rights over the child. The intended parents are the legal parents of the baby.

The procedure must be done at a licensed ART clinic. Both intended parents must provide written consent. ART banks maintain confidential donor records.
