 Know your IVF Closely | Dr Sujata Kar

When you think of common fertility treatments, in vitro fertilization (IVF) probably appears as one of the top treatments on your list. There's a reason for that. IVF has been around for decades and you most likely already know the basic idea behind IVF: uniting egg and sperm outside the body in culture. But so much more to IVF happens before and after that.

The IVF Process in Five Steps - 

1) Boost your egg production through stimulation

You'll be given a fertility dose through an injection that will begin a process called simulation. In other words, the dose — which contains Follicle Stimulating Hormone — will tell your body to produce more than just the normal one egg per month. The more eggs you produce, the more chances you'll have of successful fertilization later in the treatment.

You'll receive transvaginal ultrasounds and blood tests on a regular basis during this step in the IVF process to check on your ovaries and monitor your hormone levels.


2) Remove the eggs

A little more than a day before your eggs are scheduled to be retrieved from your body, you'll receive a hormone injection that will help your eggs mature quickly.

Then, you'll have a minor surgical procedure called follicular aspiration to remove the eggs. This is generally done as an outpatient surgery in the clinic.

During the procedure, the doctor uses an ultrasound to guide a thin needle into each of your ovaries through your vagina. The needle has a device attached to it that suctions the eggs out one at a time.

If this part sounds painful, don't worry. You'll probably be given medication beforehand so that you won't feel any discomfort. You may experience some cramping afterward, but this usually disappears within a day.

3) Collect sperm from your partner

While your eggs are being removed, sperm from your partner will be collected. The sperm are then put through a high-speed wash and spin cycle in order to find the healthiest ones.

4) Unite sperm and eggs

Now comes the part of IVF that everyone's the most familiar with that is combining the best sperm with your best eggs. This stage is called insemination. It usually takes a few hours for a sperm to fertilize an egg. The doctor may also inject the sperm directly into the egg instead, a process known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

5) Transfer the embryo(s) into your uterus

Once your eggs have been collected you'll receive yet another medication. This one is meant to prep the lining of your uterus to receive the embryos that will be transferred back into you.

About three to five days after fertilization, the doctor will place the embryos in your uterus using a catheter. Like step number three, this part of IVF is performed in your doctor's office while you are awake.

Maximum 2-3 embryos, depending on the patient’s age, progress & chances of pregnancy, are transferred back into you in the hopes that at least one will implant itself in the lining of your uterus and begin to develop. Sometimes more than one embryo ends up implanting, which is why multiples are common in women who use IVF.


The IVF process basically means the fertilization & culture of the fertilized embryo for the next 3-5 days is done in the laboratory, after transferring the embryo, if the embryo sticks or implants then a pregnancy test which is done after 15 days of embryo transfer will show a positive result. From then on IVF pregnancy is similar in almost all ways compared to a natural pregnancy. The treatment choices may be a little more intensive because this is a valuable pregnancy.

Hope the blog helped you understand your IVF process in a more detailed way. Or if you are someone who is soon going to have IVF suggested by your doctor or gynecologist, please read and understand the process a little closer.

  Stem Cell Treatments | Dr Sujata Kar What is Stem Cell ? Stem cells are the body's raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells called daughter cells. These daughter cells become either new stem cells or specialized cells (differentiation) with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle cells or bone cells. No other cell in the body has the natural ability to generate new cell types. Where do stem cells come from? Stem cells  can be obtained from many different sources. These include adipose (fat tissue), umbilical cord tissue, placental tissue, umbilical cord blood, or bone marrow. What is stem cell therapy ? Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine designed to repair damaged cells within the body by reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system.  This phenomenon makes stem cell t...
