IVF Treatment (In-Vitro Fertilization) at Vardaan
Complete IVF solutions with experienced fertility experts, advanced embryology, and personalized treatment strategies.
What is IVF Treatment?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fertility treatment in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The embryo is then transferred into the uterus. IVF, also known as the test tube baby procedure, is often suggested for blocked fallopian tubes, severe male infertility, endometriosis, failed repeated IUI or IVF, age-related fertility decline, or unexplained infertility. Your specialist may also suggest ICSI, Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET), blastocyst transfer, or PGT, depending on your condition. Success rates for IVF vary widely depending on age, embryo quality, and overall reproductive health.

How Does IVF Procedure Work?
- Ovarian Stimulation: Daily hormone injections for 8–12 days help the ovaries produce multiple mature eggs, monitored through ultrasound and blood tests.
- Egg Retrieval: A short procedure performed under light sedation to retrieve mature eggs under ultrasound guidance. It usually takes 20–30 minutes.
- Lab Fertilization: Eggs retrieved are fertilized with sperm in the lab. In some cases ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into the egg.
- Embryo Culture and Transfer: Embryos are cultured for 3–5 days, and the healthiest is transferred into the uterus in a short, painless procedure.
Who Should Consider IVF?
IVF is usually recommended if simpler fertility treatments are unlikely to succeed or have already failed. The best common male and female infertility candidates are.
Ovulation Disorders & PCOS
PCOS and irregular ovulation can make conception difficult. IVF may be considered when ovulation treatments have not worked.
Blocked or Damaged Fallopian Tubes
Blocked or damaged tubes can prevent the egg and sperm from meeting naturally. IVF bypasses the tubes by fertilizing eggs in the laboratory.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis can affect the ovaries, eggs, uterus, or implantation. IVF may be recommended when endometriosis significantly affects fertility.
Age-Related Decline
A lower ovarian reserve can reduce the number of available eggs. IVF may help maximize the chances of using available eggs.
Uterine Conditions
Fibroids, polyps, and other uterine conditions can sometimes affect implantation. IVF may be considered after appropriate evaluation and treatment.
Low Sperm Count
Low sperm count or poor sperm movement can make natural fertilization difficult. IVF with ICSI can help improve the chances of fertilization.
Abnormal Sperm Morphology
Abnormal sperm shape or varicocele can affect sperm quality and fertility. IVF with ICSI may help when male-factor infertility is significant.
Hormonal Imbalances or Infections
Hormonal issues, previous infections, injuries, or surgeries can affect sperm production. IVF may be considered when other treatments are unsuccessful.
Unexplained Infertility
Sometimes, routine fertility tests do not identify a clear cause. IVF may be recommended when simpler fertility treatments have not worked.
Before Considering IVF
Are Lifestyle Factors Optimized?
Weight, smoking, alcohol, sleep, and stress all affect outcomes. Optimize them first.
Have You Had a Complete Fertility Evaluation?
A detailed workup may reveal simpler, less invasive options before IVF.
Have You Already Tried IUI?
For some conditions, IUI is less invasive and affordable. IVF follows repeated IUI failure.
Have You Discussed All Treatment Options?
Ovulation induction, IUI, or fertility preservation is sometimes considered before IVF.

Review your history, partner's history, and fertility goals.
Diagnostic Work
AMH, hormone profile, semen analysis, ultrasound (1–2 weeks).
Treatment Planning
A stimulation protocol matched to your age and AMH.
Ovarian Stimulation
8–12 days of trigger shot and injections with monitoring.
Egg Retrieval
A 20–30 minute procedure under light sedation.
Fertilization & Embryo Transfer
Lab fertilization, 3–5 day culture, transfer to uterus.
IVF Success Rates by Age
IVF success rates vary a lot based on your age and fertility profile. Figures below are based on published international IVF trends and may vary according to embryo quality, ovarian reserve, and general reproductive health.
| Age | Live Birth Rate Per Cycle | Key Notes |

Under 35
|
45–60% | Highest success rates; many conceive within 1–2 cycles. |
|
02
35–37
|
35–50% | Gradual decline; embryo quality often remains favorable. |
|
03
38–40
|
20–35% | Lower rates; personalized treatment planning may help. |
|
04
41–42
|
10–20% | Lower with own eggs; donor egg IVF may be discussed. |

43+
|
Below 10% | Live birth rates with own eggs are significantly lower. |
Factors that affect IVF success: age and ovarian reserve · embryo quality · sperm quality · uterine lining and implantation · lifestyle (smoking, obesity, sleep) · previous pregnancy and fertility history.

Precautions & Aftercare in IVF
- Take Medication Exactly as Prescribed: IVF medication timing matters. Don't skip or delay injections without first speaking to your specialist.
- Avoid Heavy Activity After Egg Retrieval: Rest for 24–48 hours. Light walking is fine, but avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise.
- Watch for OHSS Symptoms: Mild bloating is common. Report severe abdominal pain, rapid weight gain, nausea, or breathlessness immediately.
- Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Both can affect egg quality, implantation, and pregnancy outcomes during IVF.
- Eat Well and Stay Hydrated: Regular meals, good hydration, and adequate sleep support recovery and reproductive health.
- Manage Emotional Stress: IVF can be emotionally demanding, especially during the two-week wait. Counselling and support may help.
When Should You Contact Your Doctor? Speak to your specialist immediately if you experience: severe abdominal pain · rapid weight gain · severe bloating · breathlessness · fever above 37°C · heavy bleeding · reduced urine output.
IVF Due Date Calculator: FAQs
An IVF due date is calculated using your embryo transfer date. Since fertilization timing is known, doctors can calculate the expected delivery date more accurately than natural pregnancy. For Day 5 transfer, around 261 days are added, and for Day 3 transfer, about 263 days are added.
The formula depends on embryo age. For Day 3 embryo transfer, 263 days are added to the transfer date. For Day 5 transfer, 261 days are added. Day 6 embryos follow a similar adjusted calculation. This method reflects actual fertilization timing instead of estimation.
Yes, IVF due dates are generally more accurate because the exact fertilization and transfer timing is known. In natural pregnancy, doctors estimate based on LMP, which can vary due to irregular cycles.
Yes, the due date may change slightly based on early ultrasound results. Even in IVF cases, doctors may adjust the timeline if fetal growth does not match expected measurements.
The first pregnancy scan is usually recommended between 6 to 8 weeks. In IVF pregnancies, this scan confirms implantation, heartbeat, and early development.
Yes, the calculator also shows your current pregnancy weeks and days. It helps track trimester progress and gives a clear understanding of your pregnancy stage.
The calculator uses standard formulas followed by IVF specialists. It provides a reliable estimate, but it should not replace medical consultation. Always confirm with your doctor for accurate tracking.
