What IVF Treatment Actually Involves
IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is an assisted reproductive treatment in which an egg and sperm are brought together outside the body in a laboratory to create an embryo. The embryo can then be transferred into the uterus with the aim of achieving pregnancy.
IVF may be considered when pregnancy has not occurred because of female-factor infertility, male-factor infertility, tubal problems, endometriosis, ovulation disorders, unexplained infertility or other fertility-related conditions.

Quick Answer
IVF may be considered when other fertility treatments are unlikely to be suitable or have not resulted in pregnancy, or when the underlying fertility problem makes IVF an appropriate treatment option.
Who Needs IVF Treatment?
Infertility can result from female factors, male factors, a combination of both, or sometimes no clearly identified cause.
- Female Infertility
IVF may be considered in women with conditions such as:
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Certain ovulation disorders
- Endometriosis
- Reduced ovarian reserve
- Age-related decline in fertility
- Certain uterine or reproductive conditions
- Male Infertility
Male infertility can involve:
- Low sperm count
- Poor sperm movement
- Abnormal sperm morphology
- Problems with sperm production
- Certain reproductive tract blockages
- Other factors affecting sperm function
- Unexplained Infertility
Sometimes routine investigations do not identify a clear cause despite difficulty conceiving.
In selected cases of unexplained infertility, IVF may be considered depending on factors such as age, duration of infertility and previous treatment.
What Tests Are Done Before IVF?
IVF generally begins with an assessment of both partners. Depending on the clinical situation, evaluation may include:
| Evaluation | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Medical and fertility history | Previous pregnancies, treatments, surgeries and fertility concerns |
| Menstrual history | Ovulation and cycle pattern |
| Ultrasound | Uterus, ovaries, follicles and pelvic structures |
| Ovarian reserve assessment | Provides information about expected ovarian response |
| Hormonal testing | Selected reproductive hormone assessment |
| Semen analysis | Sperm count, movement and morphology |
| Tubal assessment | Considered depending on the fertility history |
| Uterine assessment | Looks for structural abnormalities that may affect treatment |
How does IVF Treatment Work?
- Step 1
Ovarian Stimulation
Normally, one dominant follicle develops during a menstrual cycle. During IVF, medications may be used to stimulate the ovaries to develop multiple follicles. The aim is to obtain multiple mature eggs because not every egg will fertilize or develop into a usable embryo. The response to medication is monitored through ultrasound and, when appropriate, blood tests.
- Step 2
Monitoring Follicle Development
During stimulation, the fertility team monitors: Follicle growth, Ovarian response, Hormonal changes where appropriate, Timing for egg retrieval. The medication dose or timing may be adjusted according to the individual's response.
- Step 3
Trigger Medication
When the follicles have reached an appropriate stage of development, a medication may be given to help final egg maturation. The timing of this medication is important because egg retrieval is scheduled based on the expected maturation process.
- Step 4
Egg Retrieval
Egg retrieval, also called oocyte retrieval, is a procedure in which mature eggs are collected from the ovaries. The procedure is generally performed using ultrasound guidance through the vagina. The eggs are then taken to the laboratory for fertilization.
How Are Eggs Fertilized During IVF?
After egg retrieval, the eggs are combined with sperm in the laboratory.
There are two commonly used approaches:
Conventional IVF
Eggs and prepared sperm are placed together in a laboratory environment to allow fertilization to occur.
ICSI
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg.
ICSI may be considered in selected situations, particularly when there are significant sperm-related factors or previous fertilization problems.
The choice between conventional IVF and ICSI depends on the clinical situation and laboratory assessment.
What Happens After Fertilization?
If fertilization occurs, the resulting embryos are monitored as they develop in the laboratory.
Embryos may continue developing for several days before an embryo is selected for transfer or cryopreservation, depending on the treatment plan.
Not every fertilized egg develops into a suitable embryo.
ASRM notes that during IVF, approximately 70% of mature eggs fertilize and around half of fertilized eggs may continue developing to the blastocyst stage, illustrating why the number of eggs collected does not directly equal the number of embryos available for transfer. Individual results can vary substantially.
How Long Does an IVF Cycle Take?
An IVF cycle commonly takes several weeks from the beginning of ovarian stimulation through pregnancy testing.
However, the actual timeline can vary depending on:
- Menstrual cycle
- Ovarian response
- Medication protocol
- Egg retrieval timing
- Embryo development
- Whether embryos are transferred fresh or after freezing
- Whether additional testing is required
- Individual medical circumstances
Your fertility specialist can provide a more specific timeline after assessing your case.
IVF Success Rate
IVF success rate depends on several factors like:
- Age
- Ovarian reserve
- Egg quality
- Sperm quality
- Cause of infertility
- Number and quality of embryos
- Uterine health
- Previous IVF attempts
- Other medical conditions
Age is an important factor in female fertility, with reproductive potential generally declining as age increases.
For this reason, a clinic should not promise a pregnancy simply because IVF is being performed.
A fertility specialist can discuss the factors that may influence your individual chances after reviewing your medical and fertility history.
When Should You See a Fertility Specialist?
Doctor defines infertility as failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.
However, evaluation may be appropriate earlier in certain situations.
Consider seeking medical advice sooner if there is:
- Irregular or absent ovulation
- Known PCOS or significant ovulation problems
- Suspected endometriosis
- Previous pelvic surgery
- Known or suspected blocked fallopian tubes
- Previous ovarian surgery
- Previous chemotherapy or treatments that may affect fertility
- Known male-factor fertility problems
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Advanced reproductive age
A fertility evaluation helps determine whether IVF is actually needed or whether another treatment may be more appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IVF treatment?
IVF, or in vitro fertilization, is an assisted reproductive treatment in which eggs and sperm are combined outside the body in a laboratory. An embryo that develops may then be transferred into the uterus.
Is IVF the first treatment for infertility?
Not always. The appropriate treatment depends on the cause of infertility, age, fertility history and other factors. Some people may benefit from simpler treatments before IVF, while others may be advised to consider IVF earlier.
Is IVF painful?
Some parts of IVF, particularly injections and egg retrieval, may cause discomfort. Pain experience varies between patients. Appropriate pain management and anaesthesia may be used during egg retrieval according to the clinical setting.
How many days does IVF treatment take?
An IVF cycle generally takes several weeks, but the exact timeline varies depending on the treatment protocol, ovarian response, embryo development and whether a fresh or frozen embryo transfer is planned.
Does IVF guarantee pregnancy?
No. IVF does not guarantee pregnancy or a live birth. Outcomes depend on factors such as age, ovarian reserve, egg and sperm quality, embryo development and uterine factors.
What is ICSI in IVF?
ICSI is a laboratory technique in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. It may be used in selected cases, particularly when there are significant sperm-related or previous fertilization concerns.
Can IVF work after age 40?
IVF may be performed after age 40, but fertility and IVF outcomes are influenced by age, particularly because egg quantity and quality decline with increasing age. Your fertility specialist can assess your individual circumstances.
