What is IVF

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is a form of assisted conception where eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a specialised laboratory. Once fertilisation occurs, the resulting embryo is carefully monitored before being transferred into the uterus to support pregnancy.

IVF is commonly recommended for couples experiencing infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes, ovulation disorders, male factor infertility, endometriosis, or unexplained fertility issues.

Our approach focuses on transparency, realistic expectations, and personalised treatment plans to maximise your chances of success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a suitable candidate for IVF?

IVF may be recommended for couples experiencing blocked fallopian tubes, ovulation disorders, male factor infertility, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility. A fertility assessment helps determine if IVF is the right option for you.

A typical IVF cycle takes around 4–6 weeks from ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer. However, timelines may vary depending on individual response and treatment protocol.

Most parts of IVF, such as hormone injections, may cause mild discomfort. Egg retrieval is performed under sedation to minimise pain, and embryo transfer is generally quick and well tolerated.

Success rates depend on several factors, including age, egg quality, sperm health, and underlying fertility conditions. During consultation, we provide personalized success estimates based on your medical profile.

IVF is generally safe, but like any medical procedure, it carries some risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) or multiple pregnancy. Our team carefully monitors treatment to reduce potential risks.

Some patients conceive during the first cycle, while others may require multiple attempts. Treatment plans are adjusted based on response and embryo quality to optimise outcomes.

ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is only needed in selected circumstances such as severe male factor infertility, or when using surgically retrieved sperm. Our experts will guide you to the best and safest evidence based technique.

Our specialists only recommend evidence-based treatments that improve your chances of success. We do not recommend unnecessary modifications or ‘adds ons’ that don’t have strong evidence in keeping with HEFA recommendations and International and NICE Guidelines.

We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the exceptional care and support we received throughout our pregnancy journey. The expertise, compassion, and unwavering dedication of the healthcare team truly made all the difference. Our daughter, Lillie, is now almost four months old, and her presence in our lives fills us with indescribable joy. The knowledge and genuine concern for patients are evident in every interaction. We feel truly blessed to have had such dedicated healthcare providers. Their role in this special chapter of our lives is something we will forever cherish. The extraordinary care deserves all the recognition it can get.

We are so grateful to Mr Shabbir for his incredible support throughout our fertility journey. From the very beginning, he was professional, compassionate, and reassuring. His expertise and calm approach gave us confidence and hope at every stage. He not only guided us through the fertility process with great care and efficiency but also reminded us of the importance of improving our overall health – advice that truly resonated with us. Thanks to his guidance, we are now pregnant for the first time and couldn’t be more thankful. We cannot recommend Mr Shabbir highly enough.
