IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a milder first-line procedure where washed sperm is placed directly inside the uterus around ovulation, and fertilization happens naturally inside the body. In IVF, fertilization occurs inside our embryology laboratory, allowing embryologists to select the highest-quality embryo.

Medical guidelines recommend consulting a specialist if you have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (or 6 months if the female partner is 35 years or older). Earlier evaluation is advised if you have known irregular periods, history of pelvic infections, endometriosis, or previous surgeries.

A full IVF treatment cycle typically spans 4 to 6 weeks. Stimulation injections begin on cycle day 2 or 3 and last approximately 10 to 12 days, followed by egg retrieval, laboratory incubation for 5 days, and embryo transfer.

Blastocyst culture involves growing embryos to Day 5 (approx. 100+ cells) instead of transferring them on Day 3. This allows natural physiological selection of the most robust embryos, elevating implantation rates to over 65% and enabling safe single-embryo transfer.

Egg freezing via modern vitrification is exceptionally safe. Using liquid nitrogen at -196°C, biological metabolism is suspended, allowing eggs to remain safely preserved for 10+ years without any degradation in quality.

Primary factors include maternal age, ovarian reserve (AMH), sperm DNA fragmentation, uterine endometrial receptivity, and the quality of the embryology laboratory. At PRISHA IVF, personalized protocols and clean room lab standards ensure optimal success.

Fertility treatment can be an emotional journey. PRISHA IVF provides complimentary dedicated fertility counseling sessions to help couples manage stress, navigate the two-week wait, and stay emotionally supported.
