What Is IVF?

IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) helps eggs and sperm fertilise in a lab, then places the embryo in the uterus — a proven path to pregnancy.

Eggs are retrieved

Fertilised in the lab

Embryo is transferred

IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is a fertility treatment in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilised with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is transferred into the uterus. The word ‘in vitro’ means ‘outside the body’ — fertilisation happens in controlled laboratory conditions rather than naturally inside the fallopian tubes.

IVF is one of the most effective and thoroughly researched fertility treatments available today. It is recommended when other treatments have not worked, or when a medical diagnosis makes natural conception unlikely. For a detailed explanation of how IVF works, see our guide: learn more about the IVF process. You can also read about how IVF compares to IUI and ICSI to understand your treatment options.

Who Is IVF Recommended For?

IVF isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Kanaa Fertility, we recommend it only after a thorough fertility evaluation of both partners — so your treatment fits your diagnosis, not a template.

Conditions That May Lead to an IVF Recommendation

Blocked or Damaged Fallopian Tubes

Tubal damage that blocks natural fertilisation.

Severe Endometriosis

Significantly lowers natural conception chances.

Low Ovarian Reserve

Low AMH or antral follicle count.

Male Factor Infertility

Low sperm count, motility or morphology — ICSI treatment if sperm quality is a concern

Unexplained Infertility

No clear cause found after 1–2 years of trying.

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Repeated losses — PGT testing may help.

Previous IUI Failure

When IUI cycles haven’t led to pregnancy.

Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

Early low ovarian function; donor eggs may help.

Not sure if IVF is right for you? A consultation is the clearest way to find out.

The IVF Journey

The IVF Treatment Process at Kanaa Fertility

A clear, step-by-step path — every protocol personalised to you.

Initial Consultation & Fertility Evaluation

A detailed review of your history plus baseline fertility tests, to design your personalised plan.

Read the full step

Your first appointment involves a detailed discussion of your medical history, previous treatments, and fertility goals. We arrange baseline blood tests (AMH, FSH, LH, estradiol), a pelvic ultrasound, antral follicle count, and a semen analysis for your partner. Results are reviewed with you at a dedicated consultation. Learn about fertility tests before starting IVF.

Ovarian Stimulation

Carefully dosed hormone support over roughly 10–14 days, tracked with regular scans.

Read the full step

You will receive hormone injections over 10–14 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The dose and type of medication is carefully calibrated for your age, ovarian reserve, and response. Regular monitoring ultrasounds and blood tests track follicle development and hormone levels throughout this phase.

Egg Retrieval (Ovum Pick-Up)

A short, guided procedure to collect your mature eggs once the follicles are ready.

Read the full step

When follicles reach the ideal size, a trigger injection is given. Egg retrieval is performed 34–36 hours later as a minor day procedure under sedation. A thin needle is guided through the vaginal wall to retrieve the eggs — patients typically experience minimal discomfort and return home the same day.

Fertilisation in Our Embryology Lab

Egg and sperm are combined in the lab — with ICSI used when sperm quality needs extra help.

Read the full step

Retrieved eggs are examined by our embryologists and combined with prepared sperm for fertilisation. In cases where sperm quality is a concern, ICSI treatment if sperm quality is a concern — a single sperm is injected directly into each egg. Fertilisation is confirmed the following day.

Embryo Development

Embryos are grown and monitored over several days in our lab, so the healthiest one can be chosen. (Genetic testing available if advised.)

Read the full step

Fertilised embryos are cultured for 3 to 5 days in our laboratory under carefully controlled conditions. Our embryologists assess development daily. The best-quality embryo is selected for transfer into the uterus — a simple, painless procedure performed without anaesthesia. Remaining viable embryos can be frozen for future use.

Embryo Transfer

The best-quality embryo is gently placed into the uterus — quick and usually painless.

Pregnancy Test & Follow-Up Care

A blood test after about two weeks, with caring support throughout the wait.

Read the full step

Approximately 14 days after embryo transfer, a blood test (beta-hCG) confirms whether pregnancy has been achieved. Our team provides support and guidance throughout this waiting period. If the cycle is successful, you will be monitored with early pregnancy scans before being referred to your obstetrician.

Your wellbeing

What's Normal vs What to Watch For

Mild symptoms are a normal part of IVF. This is a general guide — every body is different, so when in doubt, always call your Kanaa care team. We'd rather hear from you.

Usually normal / expected

  • Mild bloating or a feeling of fullness
  • Light cramping or spotting
  • Tender breasts or mood changes from hormones
  • Mild tiredness

Please call the clinic promptly if you notice

  • Severe or worsening abdominal pain or swelling
  • Heavy bleeding
  • Fever
  • Difficulty breathing, or rapid weight gain over a day or two
  • Anything that simply doesn't feel right to you

You never have to figure this out alone. Call [clinic number] any time you're unsure — our team is here for you.

The two-week wait

What to Expect After Embryo Transfer

The days after your transfer — often called the "two-week wait" — can feel long. Here's what's normal, and how to care for yourself.

In the first two weeks

  • You can return to gentle, everyday activities — no strict bed rest needed.
  • Some bloating, mild cramps, or light spotting can happen and is usually nothing to worry about.
  • Take any medications exactly as prescribed.
  • Eat well, stay hydrated, and rest when you need to.
  • It's normal to feel hopeful and anxious at the same time — that's okay.

Try to avoid

  • Heavy lifting or intense workouts
  • Smoking and alcohol
  • Home pregnancy tests too early — they can mislead. Wait for your clinic blood test.

We check in with you throughout the wait — and your blood test on day ~14 gives the clearest answer.

Honest guidance

IVF Success Rates

Success in IVF depends on many personal factors — no honest clinic can promise a number for everyone. What we can promise is realistic, transparent guidance based on your own diagnosis.

What influences IVF

Factors That Affect IVF Success

Understanding what influences IVF helps you and your specialist plan realistically. The main factors:

Age

Egg quantity and quality change over time; age is one of the biggest factors.

Egg & sperm quality

Healthier eggs and sperm improve the odds.

Embryo quality

Strong, well-developing embryos are more likely to implant.

Uterine health

A healthy uterine lining supports implantation.

Underlying conditions

Issues like endometriosis or hormonal imbalances can play a role.

Lifestyle

Weight, smoking, alcohol, and stress all matter — and many are within your control.

Your specialist reviews all of these together to give you an honest, personalised picture.

Choosing your path

IVF vs ICSI — Which Is Right for You?

IVF and ICSI are closely related — the difference is how the egg is fertilised. Your specialist recommends the right one based on your diagnosis.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation)

Egg and sperm are placed together in the lab and fertilisation happens naturally. Often the first choice when sperm quality is healthy.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

A single healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg. Usually recommended when there are concerns about sperm count, movement, or shape — or after previous fertilisation didn't work.

The honest bottom line: You don't have to choose alone. After your evaluation, your Kanaa specialist recommends whichever gives you the best realistic chance — and explains why.

Told honestly

Risks & Side Effects of IVF

IVF is widely used and generally safe, but like any medical treatment it has some risks. We believe in telling you honestly, so there are no surprises.

Common and usually mild

  • Bloating, mild cramping, or tenderness
  • Mood changes from hormone medication
  • Bruising or soreness at injection sites

Less common, worth knowing

  • Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) — an over-response to stimulation; we monitor closely to keep this risk low.
  • Multiple pregnancy (twins) if more than one embryo is transferred.
  • Minor risks linked to the egg-retrieval procedure.

At Kanaa, careful monitoring at every step is how we keep risks low. Your specialist will walk you through anything relevant to your plan — please ask us anything.

What to Expect During Your IVF Journey

Every step of your IVF journey is guided with close monitoring, clear communication and steady support.
