Step-by-Step IVF Process with Dr. Nishtha Handa

1️⃣ Consultation & Evaluation

Your IVF journey begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Handa reviews your medical history, menstrual health, and performs tests such as AMH levels, ultrasound, semen analysis, and hormonal tests to identify fertility barriers.

2️⃣ Personalised IVF Plan

Every couple is different. Based on your reports, Dr. Handa creates a tailored plan that may include IVF, ICSI, donor programs, or freezing options. You’ll get a clear understanding of timelines, costs, and next steps.

3️⃣ Ovarian Stimulation

You’ll take hormonal injections for 10–12 days to stimulate your ovaries. Dr. Handa monitors your progress with ultrasounds and adjusts doses to safely grow multiple eggs.

4️⃣ Egg Retrieval

Once your eggs are ready, they are collected using a short, painless procedure under mild anaesthesia. A sperm sample is also collected from your partner (or donor).

5️⃣ Fertilisation & Embryo Culture

In the lab, the eggs are fertilised using IVF or ICSI. The embryos are observed for 3–5 days and graded based on quality before selection.

6️⃣ Embryo Transfer

The healthiest embryo is transferred into your uterus through a simple, non-surgical procedure. You may be advised to rest and begin hormonal support post-transfer.

7️⃣ Waiting Period & Pregnancy Test

You’ll return after 14 days for a beta-hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy. If successful, you’ll begin early pregnancy care under Dr. Handa’s expert supervision.

What If It Doesn’t Work in One Cycle?

IVF is not always successful on the first try. If needed, frozen embryos can be used for a second cycle. Dr. Handa will explain all your options—including adjusting protocols, addressing implantation issues, or exploring donor assistance if necessary.

Tips for First-Time IVF Couples

● Don’t delay evaluation—age matters

● Focus on a healthy lifestyle: balanced diet, sleep, no smoking/alcohol

● Ask questions—understand every step
