Our Patient IVF Journey

HOW IT WORKS

Your IVF journey clear supportive steps

Our IVF process is designed to be clear, supportive, and stress-free. From your initial consultation to your successful pregnancy test.

✅ Step 1: Booking Your Appointment

Your IVF journey begins with a single, important step - scheduling your initial consultation at Viva Fertility Clinic. This appointment lays the foundation for everything ahead, so a little preparation goes a long way in making it insightful, empowering, and stress-free.

🩺 Step 2: Initial Consultation & Evaluation

Your first face-to-face session with our fertility experts marks a pivotal step in your IVF journey. This consultation is far more than just a meet-and-greet - it’s a deep dive into your reproductive health, a moment of discovery, and the beginning of a customized pathway to parenthood.

🔍 Step 3: Fertility Assessments

We delve into the causes of infertility and create customized strategies. Every plan is built with precision and personal attention. From hormone profiles to imaging and semen analysis, we’ll carefully examine every data point to gain a clear understanding of the factors at play.

🔬 Step 4: Results Review:

You’ll receive a thoughtful breakdown of your test outcomes - clarifying why conception may be difficult and what opportunities exist for improvement. We present the full spectrum of fertility solutions available to you - from assisted reproductive techniques to lifestyle recommendations and supportive therapies. Armed with these insights, we’ll develop a pragmatic and personalized treatment strategy focused on optimizing your chances of success.

💉 Step 5: Treatment Initiation

With your fertility assessments complete and your personalized plan in hand, we now begin the active phase of your IVF journey. This is where science meets timing, and every decision is designed to optimize outcomes. The most common next step is ovarian stimulation, though your path may differ based on your diagnosis and plan. This step involves daily injections or oral pills, depending or your treatment program.

🏥 Step 6: Egg Retrieval & Fertilization

This phase marks a significant milestone in your IVF journey: the collection of mature eggs and the beginning of fertilization. Once the egg follicles measure about 18mm - 24mm, your egg retrieval is scheduled approximately 34 - 36 hours after the trigger injection - timed precisely for optimal egg maturity.

🧫 Step 7: Embryo Development & Selection

Normally fertilized eggs, known as zygotes, are selected and returned to the incubator for culture, where they begin dividing to form embryos. By Day 5, embryos typically develop into blastocysts - fluid-filled cellular structures that signal readiness for implantation. Our expert embryologists use internationally recognized morphological scoring criteria to assess embryo quality to select the healthiest embryos for uterine transfer. For couples at increased risk of genetic disorders, we offer Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT). This advanced technique allows for the identification of chromosomally and genetically normal embryos prior to transfer, giving added confidence and safety.

🌱 Step 7: Embryo Transfer

Embryo transfer is one of the most pivotal moments in the IVF journey. At Viva Fertility, we perform embryo transfers exclusively on Day 5 or 6, when embryos reached blastocyst stage. The quality and number of embryos to be transferred will be discussed with you. Only the healthiest blastocysts with high implantation potential are transferred. We recommend transferring 2 to 3 embryos however, we respects patient’s preference. The procedure is performed using a specialized catheter, inserted through the cervix under real-time ultrasound guidance. The procedure is generally painless, though some patients may experience mild discomfort. No anesthesia is typically required, and recovery is swift. You’ll rest in our clinic briefly before returning home the same day with post-care instructions.

Step 8: Luteal Support

Hormonal support with progesterone and estradiol continues post- embryo transfer. Pregnancy test is scheduled 14 days after to confirm whether implantation was successful.. Whether your result is positive or not, our team stands ready with compassionate guidance for next steps. If pregnancy test is positive, luteal support is continued until 12 weeks gestation and a luteal support fee will be charged.

  • Uterine fibroids

  • Unexplained infertility

  • Genetic conditions requiring PGT

  • IVF: Fertilization occurs in the lab, and embryos are transferred into the uterus. IUI is less invasive and less expensive but has lower success rates.

Success depends on factors such as age, egg quality, sperm quality, and underlying medical conditions. Younger women generally have higher success rates.

Our Success Rate: approximately
83% success rate among patients with a good prognosis, approximately 45% success rate even in challenging,
poor‑prognosis cases, and approximately 75.5% overall cumulative success rate across all patient categories.

Yes, IVF is often recommended for women over 40,  though success rates decline with age. Donor eggs may be considered in some cases.

Yes. Current evidence indicates a slightly increased risk of congenital or genetic abnormalities in children conceived through IVF compared with natural conception.
Many women who conceive through IVF go on to have normal healthy babies.

Yes, with Intra‑Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) , the procedure involves injecting a single healthy sperm directly into each egg to increase the chance of successful fertilization. Even men with severely low sperm count — or almost no sperm — can father a child through this method. 

We transfer 1 - 3 embryos, this depends on age, embryo quality, and medical history. Many clinics recommend single embryo transfer to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy.

 

PGT may be recommended for patients with known genetic conditions, recurrent pregnancy loss, or advanced maternal age.
