Who Should Go for IVF Treatment?
IVF is one of the most effective options for couples facing fertility challenges, though results depend on individual medical factors. It is not always the first step, though — you can compare it against every other treatment we offer before deciding. IVF is usually considered when you or your partner are facing:
- Long-term infertility
- Male infertility issues
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Uterine complications
- Unexplained infertility
Every couple's condition is different. That's why IVF is suggested only after proper tests and a detailed discussion with the fertility specialist.
IVF Treatment Process
Ovulation Induction
Your doctor monitors your ovaries to ensure proper egg release. Hormones or medication are usually used to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs.
Egg Collection
When eggs are ready, they are gently collected under medical care in a short, safe procedure.
Fertilization
Eggs and sperm are combined in the lab. In some cases, advanced methods like ICSI are used to improve fertilization chances.
Embryo Transfer
A selected healthy embryo is placed into the uterus. This step is usually painless and quick.
Follow-up Care
After transfer, guidance is given regarding rest, medicines, and pregnancy testing.
Your IVF journey is guided by IVF Specialist Dr. Rashmi Prasad — MBBS, DGO, DNB, PG-ART (University of Kiel, Germany), 25+ years of experience in fertility care.
IVF Treatment Cost
Cost is usually the second question after “will it work”. Here are the ranges at our Patna centre, so you can plan before you commit.
| Treatment | Cost per cycle | Usually recommended when |
|---|---|---|
| 💉IUI | ₹12,000 – ₹20,000 | Tubes are open and sperm count is adequate |
| 🧬IVF | ₹85,000 – ₹1,20,000 | Blocked tubes, low AMH, unexplained or repeated failure |
| 🔬ICSI | ₹1,10,000 – ₹1,20,000 | Severe male factor, or fertilisation failed in a previous cycle |
| ⚕️TESA / TESE | ₹25,000 – ₹35,000 | Azoospermia — no sperm in the semen sample |
| ❄️Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) | ₹45,000 – ₹50,000 | Using a previously frozen embryo instead of a fresh cycle |
*Final cost depends on diagnosis and personalised treatment plan. EMI options available. Free initial consultation for every couple.
What changes the final figure
Three things move the number, and none of them are decided before your reports are seen:
- Medication dose — the largest variable. Good ovarian reserve needs less stimulation than low AMH.
- Additional procedures — TESA, laser-assisted hatching or genetic testing, billed only when medically needed.
- Frozen embryo transfer — adds freezing, storage and a separate transfer.
What is included
The quoted range covers consultation, monitoring scans through the stimulation phase, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilisation, embryo culture and the transfer itself.
Medication is quoted separately because the dose is individual. A full breakdown is in our IVF cost in Patna guide.
Written estimate, always
You receive an itemised estimate in writing before treatment begins, so nothing appears unexpectedly mid-cycle.
If any centre will not put its quote in writing before you commit, that tells you something worth knowing.
What Affects IVF Success?
🎂 Age
Egg quantity and quality decline with age, especially after 35 — one of the strongest predictors of IVF outcome.
🔬 Underlying Cause
Blocked tubes, male-factor issues, and uterine conditions each affect success differently and need tailored protocols.
🧬 Embryo Quality
Healthier embryos have a better chance of implanting successfully — lab conditions and monitoring matter here.
🩺 Prior Attempts
Previous cycles give real diagnostic information used to refine the next protocol.

IVF Treatment FAQs
A full IVF cycle usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks from ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer, including monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo development.
IVF is mostly comfortable. Some steps like egg retrieval may cause mild discomfort, which is well managed with medication.
It depends on age and medical condition. Some couples conceive in the first cycle, while others may need more than one attempt.
Yes. IVF is often advised when IUI does not give results.
IVF success rate is not 100%, so a second cycle can be considered. Before repeating the cycle, your doctor will check if your body is ready for the next attempt.
Avoid hardcore exercise after embryo transfer, but normal stretching and light yoga are generally fine unless your doctor advises otherwise.
At our Patna centre a standard IVF cycle ranges from ₹85,000 to ₹1,20,000. ICSI runs higher (₹1,10,000 – ₹1,20,000) because of the extra laboratory work, and IUI is considerably less (₹12,000 – ₹20,000). Medication is quoted separately as the dose is individual. You get an itemised written estimate before treatment starts.
