IVF & fertility
In Vitro Fertilisation, with eyes wide open
Your journey to parenthood with verified fertility specialists, realistic expectations and transparent pricing — not marketing-driven success claims.
What is IVF?
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is a fertility treatment that helps couples conceive when natural conception isn’t working. Eggs and sperm are combined in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus.
Stage-aware success rates
Success varies by age, diagnosis and embryo quality — we show realistic, evidence-based numbers, not marketing figures.
Addresses multiple causes
Works for a wide range of fertility issues in both partners, not just one diagnosis.
Genetic screening (optional)
PGT-A and other modern screening are available where clinically indicated.
The process

Myths vs facts
Separating fact from fiction
There’s a lot of misinformation about IVF. Here’s what the evidence actually says.
Myth
IVF always results in multiple pregnancies
Fact
Modern IVF uses single embryo transfer in most cases, sharply reducing the multiple-pregnancy rate compared to older protocols.
Myth
IVF babies have more health problems
Fact
Long-term studies show IVF babies are as healthy as naturally-conceived babies when standard protocols are followed.
Myth
IVF is only for older women
Fact
IVF can help across age groups with various fertility issues — blocked tubes, male-factor infertility, and unexplained infertility included.
Myth
IVF success rates are very low
Fact
Per-cycle success rates depend strongly on age and diagnosis. Cumulative success across multiple cycles can be substantially higher than a single attempt.
Myth
IVF is extremely painful
Fact
Modern techniques and medication make the process much more comfortable. Most patients report mild discomfort rather than severe pain.
Myth
IVF is only for the wealthy
Fact
Financing options and clearer payment plans — including RBI-regulated NBFC partners on Pregacoach — make IVF accessible to more couples.
Myth
IVF is always the last resort
Fact
For certain diagnoses (blocked tubes, severe male-factor infertility), IVF is recommended early rather than as a last option.
Myth
IVF always works on the first try
Fact
Some couples succeed on the first cycle, but multiple cycles are often needed. Cumulative success rises with each attempt.
Myth
IVF causes early menopause
Fact
IVF does not cause early menopause. The hormones used are similar to those naturally produced during ovulation.
Myth
IVF babies are always twins or triplets
Fact
With single-embryo transfer becoming standard, most IVF pregnancies result in single babies — reducing risks for mother and child.
Why myths persist
IVF myths often stem from outdated information, personal anecdotes, or lack of awareness about modern protocols. Always discuss your specific situation with a qualified fertility specialist.
Success factors
What actually affects IVF success
Per-cycle success depends on multiple factors. Understanding which ones you can influence (and which you can’t) helps set realistic expectations.
Age
Younger maternal age generally correlates with higher per-cycle success.
Lifestyle factors
Healthy diet, regular exercise, avoidance of smoking and alcohol.
Underlying conditions
Specific fertility diagnosis and its severity strongly affect outcomes.
Clinic experience
Clinic protocols, embryology lab quality and team experience matter.
Previous attempts
Number and outcome of previous IVF cycles inform protocol choices.
Embryo quality
Embryo morphology and (where indicated) genetic screening results.
Awareness
IVF awareness & education
Knowledge is power. Understanding IVF helps you make informed decisions and approach treatment with confidence.
Early detection
Recognising fertility issues early can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
Lifestyle impact
How diet, exercise and stress management affect fertility — before and during treatment.
Emotional support
Mental-health support during IVF is not optional — it’s built into the journey.
Financial planning
Understanding costs and available financing options up front, with no hidden fees.
