Frequently Asked Questions
What Is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)??
IVF is a process that involves retrieving eggs from ovaries and manually combining them with sperm in a lab for fertilisation and the resulting embryos are implanted in the uterus for pregnancy.

It’s a treatment for infertility, a condition in which you can’t get pregnant after at least a year of trying for most couples.
What are the steps involved in IVF??
It involves ovarian stimulation with medication, fertilization, embryo development, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer.
Is IVF costly?
IVF costs vary depending on the patient’s age and medical condition. Cost also varies in different states and cities. Patients can finance the procedure through available EMI options or savings plans.
How does age affect the success rate of IVF?
The age of a woman is a crucial factor in IVF success rates since the chances of a successful pregnancy decrease rapidly after the age of 35, especially for women over 40 years. Also, the risk of miscarriage and congenital disabilities in the child increases after 35 years.
Does insurance cover the cost of IVF?
Unfortunately, insurance policies usually do not cover the expenses of infertility treatments, including IVF. These treatments are typically considered elective and not categorized as medically necessary, resulting in limited or no insurance coverage for IVF costs. However, check with your insurance provider for details and confirmation.
